The Man with the Golden Gun, the 1974 James Bond film directed by Guy Hamilton, showcases Roger Moore's suave 007 pursuing the legendary assassin Scaramanga (Christopher Lee), known as the man with the golden gun, whose single golden bullet has been delivered to MI6 as a taunt. Infiltrating Scaramanga's lavish island lair equipped with a funhouse of mirrors and a private funicular, Bond uncovers a plot to monopolize the world's supply of a revolutionary solar energy device amid the 1970s energy crisis. Joined by the resourceful Mary Goodnight (Britt Ekland) and facing henchmen like the diminutive Nick Nack (Hervé Villechaize), the film delivers iconic action including a corkscrew car stunt, a junkyard boat chase in Hong Kong Harbor, and Moore's increasingly playful take on the spy legend.
