Are you saved friend? If you died tonight will you go to heaven or hell? God Almighty, the Creator was manifest in the flesh. He came into the world to take away the sin of the world. He gave up his own life to save yours. His sacrifice on the cross paid the price for your redemption with his own blood. On the third day he rose from dead and offers the gift of salvation and forgiveness to those that repent and trust in him. This is the Gospel which means the Good News. John 1:1-3,10 KJV In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. [2] The same was in the beginning with God. [3] All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. [10] He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. Isaiah 44:6 KJV Thus saith the Lord the King of Israel, and his redeemer the Lord of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God. Revelation 1:17-18 KJV And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last: [18] I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death. Ephesians 2:8-9 KJV For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: [9] Not of works, lest any man should boast. Acts 4:12 KJV Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. John 5:24 KJV Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life. 1 John 5:13 KJV These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God. Matthew 28:19-20 KJV Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: [20] Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
The idea to go outside the playing area of the funhouse and traverse the underneath of it is one of the smartest in Bond history, and the fact that he does it so quickly adds a great level of improvisation to Bond as a character. It's one of my favourite spontaneous pieces of writing in the whole franchise and it does Bond's character all the better for it.
lllogan yes indeed it’s brilliant. Villain sets something up. We assume them’s the rules. Plot, idea, and visuals wise it’s completely out of the box. Clever indeed.
That's interesting, I see it as exactly the opposite. It doesn't make any sense. It's more like the writers set up the scenario (Bond is potentially outclassed by a villain, trapped in his funhouse, and without a weapon) and then couldn't think of an interesting way out of it, so he disappears, somehow replaces a fully clothed dummy in a position he apparently memorised perfectly, without getting seen by either Scaramanga OR the cameras, and either retrieves his own gun off camera (in which case why drop it in the first place), or takes the loaded gun from his dummy (in which case, why did Scaramanga load the gun?). It might as well have been "a wizard did it". It's (SETUP) - (SCENE MISSING) - (VICTORY).
@@lapelcelery42 Bond saw his dummy for a while. You see him staring at it for a solid 5 seconds. He realized the whole place was rigged against him, and unlike other targets, he doesnt try to play by the rules, and instead goes off the stage. Because nicknack didn't expect that, he frantically tries to flip through the cameras to find bond again. And bond, when he loses his gun, realizes he has to take the gun off the dummy he saw. I thought it was pretty clever, even if its silly that there is a loaded gun in the dummy's hand. They couldve made it more believable by making the dummy capable of shooting so scaramanga could practice against it. And thus explain why the gun was loaded. Another neat touch could be that scaramanga would see the dummy (replaced by the real bond), move on, see the dummy, realize that it was moved, and get shot as he turns around. overal though the scene was really short, considering how the whole movie builds up to it.
@@anonvideo738 I believe Bond went down to retrieve his gun, then got dressed as the dummy. There appears to be a few scenes deleted from this climax; they were either filmed and cut out to increase pacing, or simply weren't filmed, again for pacing.
@@Thicc_Cheese_Dip From the movie it seems that the bond dummy is at the wild west section, bond climbs down from the wild west section, and then should be at a lower level. It doesnt give you a good sense where everything is. I thought the fight couldve lasted longer without killing the pace, it was tense enough to be stretched thinner. I could think of other stuff in the movie they couldve cut for time instead.
If you only showed this scene to someone who never watched this, they would never believe that this is the same movie where Bond randomly ends up in a Karate dojo after being captured, forced to have a fight, jumps out of the window, and then witnesses two school girls beating the hell out of dozens of Karate students.
Scaramanga never really considered the possibility that the environment he created to toy with people as he hunted them could easily be turned against him. The wary expression on his face leading up to 3:08 just before he moves with the barely unnoticeable tiny half smile is a begrudging respect for Bond amidst his mounting fear. He finally realises that this is pure 50:50, which he claimed to want, but all his cocky reassurance and cool demeanor has vanished as all the advantages of his home turf is now something he has to face himself just like his previous victims.
@@ronaldshank7589 I like the fun house sequence. I love how Bond outsmarts Nick Nack's cameras . Ahhh never thought of putting them underneath? Not so tough now Scaramanga.

Indeed pretty much the great James Bond’s opposite. James has his training and license to kill. Scaramenga has his blood money and Nick nack is his only friend
@@cheekychunkSR Hey no need to be Disrespectful 😠, I may not know about Hervé Villechaize's personal life, but he was good at playing the minion Nick Nack and I have not seen a replacement for the Danial Craig movies. The only time I have ever seen Nick Nack outside the live action films was in the cartoon James Bond Jr from the 90s.
The eeriest part of Scaramanga's death for me, has to be the expression Christopher Lee has as he's dying, because it makes you wonder how many people he's seen make that same face in his service during WW2?
That's not how it actually looks when someone is killed. Besides of that the vast majority of all the soldiers in a war are never actively involved in any combat
@@FantadiRienzo Scaramanga's expression makes sense when he's shot because he had just realized that he was fatally tricked in his own house of trickery.
@@FantadiRienzo Christopher Lee was involved in clandestine operations during World War 2 which put him in a position where he had to kill German military personnel up close, usually with a knife to keep the noise down. He knows what a man would look like when he's killed, especially when he's caught off guard. There's actually a really neat story about him talking to Peter Jackson about it on the set of Return of the King, because Jackson wanted him to get stabbed and then let out a yell as he dies, and Lee told him, "That's not the sound a man makes when he's stabbed" and proceeded to describe how he knows that.
I would love to see a game mode like this if a new 007 game ever comes out. Where two players go on a duel and you can use the environment to blend in.
Now what I wanna know is how did Bond have the time to enter the same room as scaramanga then remove the jacket and tie off the waxwork of himself and put them on plus hide the waxwork of himself and get back onto position all without scaramanga or nick nick seeing him just so he could trick and kill scaramanga.
I recently read about the making of the film. It turns out a lot of the scenes in this final duel which show the full sequence, including Bond replacing himself as his wax figure had to be cut due to pacing issues, and that the complete version was too long to make the final cut.
never understood why this movie is ranked relativly low among Bond films. it's one of my favorites. it's everything a Bond film should be - exotic locations, beautiful babes, charismatic bad guy, the great car jump/flip, and the Nick Nack character, who could only be played by Hervé Villechaize, is really the cherry on top. he adds so much character, one of the great all time Bond nemesises.
I also find the premise of best secret agent vs best assassin very entertaining, but the movie has certain issues, mainly the slide whistle effect, the pointless return of the annoying serif, hip leaving unreasonably bond behind the car, having goodnight at the end puss a botton with her ass making her completely incompetent
Nick Nack is just fiddling about with the volume sliders of a Sony TC-133 cassette deck. The version with a tuner was my parents’ hifi system until the early 80s.
Another awesome Bond final duel. It's not too large in scale, but I love the atmosphere they build up with Bond and Scaramanga trying to both find each other and avoid each other at the same time. Bond's little tricks are awesome too, very clever of him to swap himself with the statue to get the upper hand. And I quite like Scramanga's death too; the way that he says nothing and just falls with a look of dispair is nothing short of impressive.
One of the greatest, most suspenseful pieces of music ever composed for the Bond films by John Barry is "Return To Scaramanga's Fun House" - especially the part of that incredible piece of music in which the brass section of the orchestra builds up the tension so dramatically with the deep, slow trombone sound, the gong being repeatedly struck, the high-pitched flute sound and the strings section of the orchestra reaching higher and higher pitches as Scaramanga suddenly realizes that the real Bond is slowly turning towards him on the platform stand where the Bond mannequin was!!!! The way that Guy Hamilton, the director of "TMWTGG"(1974), should have filmed that dramatic scene is with Scaramanga - after emerging from behind the fake rock formation - looking at the mannequin platform and suddenly sees that the Walther PPK is missing from the mannequin's right hand and Scaramanga could have had a horrified look on his face as he suddenly senses that Bond has crept up behind him, Scaramanga whirls around and Bond shoots him! That would have been the better way to film that dramatic scene because the way the scene was actually filmed, it would have been exceedingly difficult for Bond to take the mannequin down, remove the jacket and PPK from the mannequin, hide the mannequin and then get up onto the platform and assume the stance of the Bond mannequin without Nick Nack ever seeing him on the rotating video cameras!
And it's not a bad "thing" to have, Jonathan Cooper! For your classic 007 viewing pleasure, I highly recommend "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" (1969), director Christopher Nolan's favorite James Bond film. Enjoy!
It’s not a bad thing I am only 34 years old and been a big Bond fan since was 8 years old in 95 when first Bond films I saw with my cousin on vhs were The Spy Who Loved Me and Moonraker which I enjoyed as a kid and the first Bond film i saw in theaters was Goldeneye in 95 when had turned 9 in December that year with my parents. I have been a fan ever since and started collecting the films on vhs as a kid and had them all from Dr No to The World Is Not Enough when Dvd was becoming big. I now have all Bond films on dvd and still watch them when I can but definitely watched them a lot when was a kid up until I was in college. Sean Connery and Roger Moore are good actors and their films are fun to watch if starting out or even Timothy Daltons The Living Daylights and Licence To Kill along with Pierce Brosnan’s Goldeneye. For Connery’s films I would recommend Goldfinger or From Russia With Love, Roger Moore’s best ones I feel are The Spy Who Loved Me and For Your Eyes Only
Cause its different from 2002 and before. The producers in charge of bond series were gold and very ahead of their time The new producers since daniel craig era (2004 and onwards) totaly changed the bond series and transform into a genetic action movie
It's a pity the dummies were played by real people in these fun house sequences, because they distract from an otherwise tightly crafted suspense thriller. Christopher Lee really makes this one of the better Roger Moore Bond pictures. The supporting cast are very good, too. It's one of the few 70s Bond movies I re-watch.
Scaramanga got so used to hearing Nick Nack's antagonistic quips over the intercom that when for the first time he goes utterly silent (because he can't find Bond on any CCTV camera), he genuinely has nothing to work with. Not a single clue as to what Bond might be up to, not even Nick Nack teasing Scaramanga and giving him a clue that way - nothing. I love the little half-smile at 3:04 where he's like: "Maybe if I walk out into the open, I can draw him out and beat him on reflexes." and proceeds to do so. Not knowing that he'd already seen the trap in 2:30. He just failed to recognize it as such, because it was a familiar silent part of a madhouse of fake scares. A terrible bias that leads to ignoring blatantly obvious real threats.
I can't even tell you how many times I watched this movie growing up. It was my favourite Bond film for a huge amount of time. It's since been bumped to number 2 on my all time list. I was a little young to get most of the innuendo humour when i first watched it, but I still loved it for other reasons. The flying car, the assembled gun, the house on the island.
One of my all time favorite Bonds. Great showdown. When the opening scene of this film starts back in 1974 nobody had seen Kow Ping Khan island. It literally looked like another planet. And the fabulous score in the showdown scene which gets increasingly tense and confused like Scaramnga is
I grew up on Pierce, and he's still my favorite. If he had the crack production team that Daniel Craig benefitted from, he would be ranking way high on the all time Bond list.
honestly I would love it if not for the pointless side plots, and if it just was pure man with the golden gun "best shot" versus "007, best double- agent" "007 meets his match" for real and it goes down for about 1hr 30 minutes. The disruptions with the random company+asians and that horrid dukes of hazzard/smokey and the bandit like sequence just drag it down for me unfortunately.
I agree. It's really not that bad, though there are of course much better entries. One thing that is consistent greatness however is John Barry's scores. The man was a towering genius.
So you're going to tell me the Bond mannequin was holding a real Walther PPK???? Cause the one Roger Moore was holding fell down the scaffolding... way down. 😂 This is my favorite R. Moore entry by the way.😂
Remember being very excited going to see this with my Dad at Barking Odeon.Lee was my favourite actor at the time,but i was too young to get in to the horror movies(11!),so had to make do with this,3 Musketeers,etc.If lucky,they sometimes showed a horror trailer in the ads.Innocent days.
@@MetalHeadJagger Absolutely..... But sadly one of it's sound destroyed a whole stunt sequence..... I mean that whistle music during that cork-screw jump.....
I want to see someone do a sketch of the design and construction of all these elaborate bond traps. Like the Robot Chicken sketch of the architect designing the cave in Raiders of the lost ark "You bet your ass that's a boulder!"
I wish the duel was a raw gunfight battle instead of a cheap stealth kill, but the Golden Gun only holds a one round, so I guess it couldn't do much. If only Scaramanga didn't put a life-like dummy of Bond inside his trap, as without it, he would most likely kill Bond first, as he is a faster draw than 007 himself. Scaramanga is the best anti-Bond villain, played by the perfect actor for him. RIP Christopher Lee and Roger Moore.
How did Bond climb down that structure to retrieve his gun without Scaramonger seeing him. Scaramonger would have assumed that the falling metal noise was Bond's gun and walked up to the sound and got to James ' gun before 007 could have climbed down.
This is a Bond movie that needs to be remade. A great concept of Bond and an anonymous assassin pursuing each other was ruined by unmitigated silliness and a low budget approach. A remake should adhere more closely to Fleming’s novel.
I don’t think it is so much hatee but have heard fans who thought the movie was boring and a weaker compared to other Bond films. In box office numbers it was one of the weakest films and not as well liked by critics and fans.
I always liked it myself, but I'm a bit biased for the moore era. I find all of his bonds pretty fun at least. The quirkiness of his villains, missions, and such. I get the camp is cringe for many, but it's all subjective
@@mike91mdk45 I enjoyed the Roger Moore era and I am 34 years old. The first Bond I saw with my cousin and parents were The Spy Who Loved Me and Moonraker on vhs when I was a kid. I became hooked and saw Goldeneye in theaters in 95 with my parents when was 9 years old. I have been a fan ever since and seen every Bond film and own them all.
@@scottknode898 Pretty similar to me. I'm 30, and Started off my bond fandom as a kid first seeing the brosnan and moore films on tv. Was hooked. I enjoy most every bond in some way or another. It's great escape
A duel to the death. Not just who is faster with a gun, but who is more cunning and more stealthy. They aren’t mere cowboys or gentlemen of honor. They are assassins. One an intelligent agent and the other a mad hitman
I never seen this and could tell right away that Bond was going to be in place of the mannequin at some point especially once you take note of the broken fingers and then they magically are whole again.
Compared to Live And Let Die, The Man With The Golden Gun was a disappointment. However, The Man With The Golden Gun in my opinion was still better than the futuristic Moonraker and way better than A View To A Kill.
@@robertbeckman2054 The Spy Who Loved Me was arguably Moore's best bond outing. He at least still had the looks back then. The 1980s were not kind to Moore's looks. That's for sure.
For me: Spy Who Loved Me ranks #1. The visual effects, the gadgets, the soundtrack and Barbara Bach. But For Your Eyes Only and Golden Gun come close behind. For a start, FYEO has Topol in it and that amazing scene where Bond ruthlessly murders Locque. And this film just for Christopher Lee alone. Sadly I don’t think these films would get a look-in with my kids, what with the Marvel universe and Fortnite. They don’t know what they’re missing.
Fun fact: there is an Alternate encounter between Bond and Scaramanga in the beach which was cut from the final product. You can see a portion of it on the teaserth-cam.com/video/BuAlsuYWuGE/w-d-xo.html
I always wondered about how Bond pulled this off. He needed to get the Bond mannequin out of sight, and he just needed the coat and tie to change into, rest of outfit he was already fitted with. But he also needed to have found the gun that dropped. Thinking if he had a hiding place out of sight to bring the mannequin off to, and already had his gun, probably could have pulled the whole switch off in about 20 seconds. With a beating heart, hoping nik nak didn't notice on the cameras.
2:00 if Moore is supposed to be a somewhat older, more experienced James Bond it makes sense that his facial reaction to this potentially catastrophic mistake is just "Well that's gonna make this harder", even losing his pistol during a duel to the death with Scaramanga doesn't strain his nerves much.
The suspense in this scene! The only other scene that gives me the same feeling is the laser beam scene from Goldfinger - say what you like about Guy Hamilton, his films always had some absolute gold in them!
One part I still don't from this movie... There's a scene where Bond, Hip, and two girls escape from the karateschool. They get to the car, Hip and the Girls get in and then he drives off? It makes no sense.
In my opinion the guy driving off before Bond got in the car is actually one of the more realistic aspects to the plot. In real life things don't always go smoothly or to plan. People screw up. people panic. Other people then have to improvise. A certain level of chaos can ensue... By contrast much of the film is verging on pure sci-fi - cars turning into planes, etc. It's kinda fun, but it's very much based on fantasy. (Well okay, all Bond-films are fantasy. But some of the ones with Connery are still based on some kind of near-reality, IMO.)
@@j.burgess4459 Yeah, I don't mind Roger Moore but they weren't as good as the Connery ones. They added more comedy and more absurd stuff, but whatever, It's all in good fun.
So both MI6 agents in this film, Bond and Goodnight, inherited other people’s clothes on Golden Island: Goodnight got Andrea’s, and Bond got the mannequin’s!

Twice the pride, Double the fall.

@@HereticDuo That line was from Count Dooku, who Christopher Lee played later in his life.

He finally gets a duel with Bond:
“I’ve been looking forward to this.”
"I am Scaramanga of many colors!"
My powers have doubled since that last time we met "three nips"
...and something happens, that he never thought would happen. Bond out-smarted him, shot him through that third nipple of his, and killed him!
@SFisher 1993, Bond tricks Scaramanga. As he pulls that trigger, he must be saying "gotcha!"
@@Inglese001 I always say: “DO IT!” 😂
Scaramanga should've crouch-walked, easy way to dominate in Golden Gun mode

That's not how it actually looks when someone is killed. Besides of that the vast majority of all the soldiers in a war are never actively involved in any combat
@@FantadiRienzo Not too familiar with Christopher Lee, are you?
@@joshuagrahamcrackers No, actually very familiar
@@FantadiRienzo Scaramanga's expression makes sense when he's shot because he had just realized that he was fatally tricked in his own house of trickery.
@@FantadiRienzo Christopher Lee was involved in clandestine operations during World War 2 which put him in a position where he had to kill German military personnel up close, usually with a knife to keep the noise down. He knows what a man would look like when he's killed, especially when he's caught off guard. There's actually a really neat story about him talking to Peter Jackson about it on the set of Return of the King, because Jackson wanted him to get stabbed and then let out a yell as he dies, and Lee told him, "That's not the sound a man makes when he's stabbed" and proceeded to describe how he knows that.
Fun fact. Christopher Lee was related to Ian Fleming.
Yes, as his cousin.
Ian also wanted Christopher to play the role of Bond had he not continue playing himself as Dracula at this point.
He was close friends with Roger Moore on set and they were good friends until Lee passed away in 2015 and Moore passed away only 2 years after Lee
@@jamesmatthew3681 would have loved to see Lee's interpretation of Bond.

I would love to see a game mode like this if a new 007 game ever comes out. Where two players go on a duel and you can use the environment to blend in.
I can't remember which, but I distinctly remember one of the 007 games having this as a level.

Bond had the high ground
Darth Septimus would be Bond's Sith name. Septimus, Latin for seven, as in 007.
If Bond were a Sith, he'd probably still go by 007.

DEWIT
Count Dooku : As you can see, my Jedi powers are far beyond yours. Now, back down.
Now what I wanna know is how did Bond have the time to enter the same room as scaramanga then remove the jacket and tie off the waxwork of himself and put them on plus hide the waxwork of himself and get back onto position all without scaramanga or nick nick seeing him just so he could trick and kill scaramanga.
@eskorbutocronico1892yes he goes from the scaffolding so maybe 20 minutes
I recently read about the making of the film. It turns out a lot of the scenes in this final duel which show the full sequence, including Bond replacing himself as his wax figure had to be cut due to pacing issues, and that the complete version was too long to make the final cut.
never understood why this movie is ranked relativly low among Bond films. it's one of my favorites. it's everything a Bond film should be - exotic locations, beautiful babes, charismatic bad guy, the great car jump/flip, and the Nick Nack character, who could only be played by Hervé Villechaize, is really the cherry on top. he adds so much character, one of the great all time Bond nemesises.
The slide whistle effect in the car chase sucked though.
I also find the premise of best secret agent vs best assassin very entertaining, but the movie has certain issues, mainly the slide whistle effect, the pointless return of the annoying serif, hip leaving unreasonably bond behind the car, having goodnight at the end puss a botton with her ass making her completely incompetent
@@adamcade604 There is issues but I think the overall plot is decent and having the worlds best assassin against bond was very interesting
@@SeizureGmanit’s not the best Bond film but it is a VERY fun Bond film. Personally I have it ranked at 5 or 6 on my Bond rankings
Nick Nack is just fiddling about with the volume sliders of a Sony TC-133 cassette deck. The version with a tuner was my parents’ hifi system until the early 80s.
Tat part from where Bond goes missing from the cameras view and replaces him in the place of statue to take the shot is just amazing
Scaramanga should have known his fingers weren't shot off.
a villain traps his enemy in a maze so confusing that he became confused too
Literally, and he's an anti-Bond.
@yuyuy667 Yeap, as Bond turns to face Scaramanga, he must be saying "gotcha!"
One of the best Bond's moments, if not _the_ best. Beating surveillance system covering the scene by hiding behind the scene.
Not to mention defeating a villain that can ACTUALLY kill him in raw skill alone.
Fact:Scaramanga is the only person Bond kill in this movie
That's how BORING this Bond film is.
They had a limited ammunition budget. 10 bullets.
@@alexcaruso8766 Even so...the duel was pretty exciting to watch. It's one of the best villain showdowns Bond had throughout than the other movie.
@@commanderkeen3787 : As Scaramanga said "I only need one" - exactly the same as 007 used to kill his opponent!.
@@alexcaruso8766 I thought this was a good thing lol.
Another awesome Bond final duel. It's not too large in scale, but I love the atmosphere they build up with Bond and Scaramanga trying to both find each other and avoid each other at the same time. Bond's little tricks are awesome too, very clever of him to swap himself with the statue to get the upper hand. And I quite like Scramanga's death too; the way that he says nothing and just falls with a look of dispair is nothing short of impressive.
The 007 film with both the lowest body count (6) and lowest Bond kill count (1).
There's one other count ...
Les IsMore Oh? Please enlighten moi!
@@davidw.2791 google: james bond chlamydia
I kidd you not. This is my LEAST favorite Bond film.
And the lousy thing is Bond fired only ONCE at Scaramanga and killed him there, as if he was using the Golden Gun himself. Lame kill.
Can’t help thinking Cristopher Lee would have made a decent Bond
Christopher Lee would have been the greatest Bond.
@@GaelicMongrel2023 Nah, he's better as a bad guy. Patrick McGoohan would have been much better.
He was an assassin during WWII
I read he was offered the role by Ian Fleming but turned it down, when offered the villains role for TMWTGG he jumped at it.
He was a real-life version of Bond, and was involved in cracking the Enigma code in WWII
I always played him in the multiplayer of Nightfire. His gun was so OP I loved it.
One of the greatest, most suspenseful pieces of music ever composed for the Bond films by John Barry is "Return To Scaramanga's Fun House" - especially the part of that incredible piece of music in which the brass section of the orchestra builds up the tension so dramatically with the deep, slow trombone sound, the gong being repeatedly struck, the high-pitched flute sound and the strings section of the orchestra reaching higher and higher pitches as Scaramanga suddenly realizes that the real Bond is slowly turning towards him on the platform stand where the Bond mannequin was!!!! The way that Guy Hamilton, the director of "TMWTGG"(1974), should have filmed that dramatic scene is with Scaramanga - after emerging from behind the fake rock formation - looking at the mannequin platform and suddenly sees that the Walther PPK is missing from the mannequin's right hand and Scaramanga could have had a horrified look on his face as he suddenly senses that Bond has crept up behind him, Scaramanga whirls around and Bond shoots him! That would have been the better way to film that dramatic scene because the way the scene was actually filmed, it would have been exceedingly difficult for Bond to take the mannequin down, remove the jacket and PPK from the mannequin, hide the mannequin and then get up onto the platform and assume the stance of the Bond mannequin without Nick Nack ever seeing him on the rotating video cameras!
I’m starting to get a thing for classic Bond films.
And it's not a bad "thing" to have, Jonathan Cooper! For your classic 007 viewing pleasure, I highly recommend "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" (1969), director Christopher Nolan's favorite James Bond film. Enjoy!
It’s not a bad thing I am only 34 years old and been a big Bond fan since was 8 years old in 95 when first Bond films I saw with my cousin on vhs were The Spy Who Loved Me and Moonraker which I enjoyed as a kid and the first Bond film i saw in theaters was Goldeneye in 95 when had turned 9 in December that year with my parents. I have been a fan ever since and started collecting the films on vhs as a kid and had them all from Dr No to The World Is Not Enough when Dvd was becoming big. I now have all Bond films on dvd and still watch them when I can but definitely watched them a lot when was a kid up until I was in college. Sean Connery and Roger Moore are good actors and their films are fun to watch if starting out or even Timothy Daltons The Living Daylights and Licence To Kill along with Pierce Brosnan’s Goldeneye. For Connery’s films I would recommend Goldfinger or From Russia With Love, Roger Moore’s best ones I feel are The Spy Who Loved Me and For Your Eyes Only
Cause its different from 2002 and before. The producers in charge of bond series were gold and very ahead of their time
The new producers since daniel craig era (2004 and onwards) totaly changed the bond series and transform into a genetic action movie
One of those masterful scenes where at the 2:22 minutes mark the provenance of the tension isn’t ‘Where’s Scaramanga??’ but ‘Where’s _Bond???’_ . . .
This reminds me so much of Enter the Dragon
Literally one of the best fights in Bond's history
Really tense - Bond tricks both Nick Nack then Scaramanga. As he pulls the trigger, he must be saying to himself "gotcha!"
"My six to your one? I only need one"
Thrilling movie!!! The plot, the exotic locations, the music score, the actors
It's a pity the dummies were played by real people in these fun house sequences, because they distract from an otherwise tightly crafted suspense thriller. Christopher Lee really makes this one of the better Roger Moore Bond pictures. The supporting cast are very good, too. It's one of the few 70s Bond movies I re-watch.
could be my imagination, but one of them looks Timothy Dalton.
Agree it's a very underrated movie. Really interesting villain - almost Bond's equal.
@@kadindarklord Which ?
@@rafaljas9323 @2:54
The one in the far back.
Also, I just noticed. Just before it cuts away, the one in front moves, ever so slightly.
Scaramanga got so used to hearing Nick Nack's antagonistic quips over the intercom that when for the first time he goes utterly silent (because he can't find Bond on any CCTV camera), he genuinely has nothing to work with. Not a single clue as to what Bond might be up to, not even Nick Nack teasing Scaramanga and giving him a clue that way - nothing. I love the little half-smile at 3:04 where he's like: "Maybe if I walk out into the open, I can draw him out and beat him on reflexes." and proceeds to do so. Not knowing that he'd already seen the trap in 2:30. He just failed to recognize it as such, because it was a familiar silent part of a madhouse of fake scares. A terrible bias that leads to ignoring blatantly obvious real threats.
One of the most tense Bond finales ever
Love the intense music right before Scaramanga’s death from 2:21 - 3:31
Its so thrilling and heart pounding
Did John Barry compose it as well? I think so.
🔥🔥🔥
me too!
I can't even tell you how many times I watched this movie growing up. It was my favourite Bond film for a huge amount of time. It's since been bumped to number 2 on my all time list. I was a little young to get most of the innuendo humour when i first watched it, but I still loved it for other reasons. The flying car, the assembled gun, the house on the island.
One of my all time favorite Bonds. Great showdown. When the opening scene of this film starts back in 1974 nobody had seen Kow Ping Khan island. It literally looked like another planet. And the fabulous score in the showdown scene which gets increasingly tense and confused like Scaramnga is
@Scorpius, one of the best Villains too. Christopher Lee plays the role with great panache.
I grew up on Pierce, and he's still my favorite. If he had the crack production team that Daniel Craig benefitted from, he would be ranking way high on the all time Bond list.
I love so much this movie!!!! TMWTGG is a great Bond movie.
This is my favorite Moore Bond movie, idc what anyone says.
Ni ck It also really grew on me on the last watch. I rank it way higher than I had it before
honestly I would love it if not for the pointless side plots, and if it just was pure man with the golden gun "best shot" versus "007, best double- agent" "007 meets his match" for real and it goes down for about 1hr 30 minutes. The disruptions with the random company+asians and that horrid dukes of hazzard/smokey and the bandit like sequence just drag it down for me unfortunately.
moonraker is my favorite james bond the fucking space battle is so fucking epic
I agree. It's really not that bad, though there are of course much better entries. One thing that is consistent greatness however is John Barry's scores. The man was a towering genius.
Other than the malaise cars yes
So you're going to tell me the Bond mannequin was holding a real Walther PPK???? Cause the one Roger Moore was holding fell down the scaffolding... way down.
😂
This is my favorite R. Moore entry by the way.😂
Yes, of course. Just like the Al capone and cowboy mannequins.
Remember being very excited going to see this with my Dad at Barking Odeon.Lee was my favourite actor at the time,but i was too young to get in to the horror movies(11!),so had to make do with this,3 Musketeers,etc.If lucky,they sometimes showed a horror trailer in the ads.Innocent days.
Rest in Peace Legends. Roger Moore, Christopher Lee and Herve Villechaize😪❤
Great scene from a masterpiece of a film but this will never beat the spy who loved me a classic with the white lotus
Absolutely..... The Spy Who Loved Me is the best Bond-film.....
@@abhishekpaul000 i agree
Man that movie had such a beautiful soundtrack especially ride to atlantis omg music to my ears
@@MetalHeadJagger Hi thats right i, totally
agree thanks for your reply
@@MetalHeadJagger Absolutely..... But sadly one of it's sound destroyed a whole stunt sequence..... I mean that whistle music during that cork-screw jump.....
I want to see someone do a sketch of the design and construction of all these elaborate bond traps. Like the Robot Chicken sketch of the architect designing the cave in Raiders of the lost ark "You bet your ass that's a boulder!"
Very exciting, stylish scene with intriguing music
I love that movie.... And its soundtrack..... In despite of what certain people think about....
The interesting part is that this all takes place on fantasy island. Mr. Roark and Tattoo were watching the entire time. Muwhahahahaha! 😆
I like how he kills sacramenga just on great shot no miss or just wounding him and he comes back later in the movie like knick knack did.
I wish the duel was a raw gunfight battle instead of a cheap stealth kill, but the Golden Gun only holds a one round, so I guess it couldn't do much. If only Scaramanga didn't put a life-like dummy of Bond inside his trap, as without it, he would most likely kill Bond first, as he is a faster draw than 007 himself. Scaramanga is the best anti-Bond villain, played by the perfect actor for him.
RIP Christopher Lee and Roger Moore.
The best villain death in the entire series
1:20 Bond discovers the ''blue hell'' and already use a glitch for his advantage. 🤣
1:09 i love the face of just:heh.... got him
Some of the best scenes ever!
Amazing job!! Christopher Lee was related to Ian Fleming.
For a Old Movie still looks good
How did Bond climb down that structure to retrieve his gun without Scaramonger seeing him. Scaramonger would have assumed that the falling metal noise was Bond's gun and walked up to the sound and got to James ' gun before 007 could have climbed down.
quick and clean, no speeches or double entrendes, just a quick shot to the heart.
Once Bond can no longer be seen by Nick Nack's cameras, he regains advantage.
When you think about it, Scaramanga is the one Bond villain who died getting exactly what he wanted.
This is a Bond movie that needs to be remade. A great concept of Bond and an anonymous assassin pursuing each other was ruined by unmitigated silliness and a low budget approach. A remake should adhere more closely to Fleming’s novel.
Must have looked super high tech in 1970s
And using Sony Trinitron monitors, no less, to inspire invidious consumption
Nick Nack is like playing Five Nights At Freddys here
02:10 When Scaramanga realises that he that he is fucked.
I don’t get the hate for this movie I think it’s actually quite good
Was unaware there was any hate for it
I don’t think it is so much hatee but have heard fans who thought the movie was boring and a weaker compared to other Bond films. In box office numbers it was one of the weakest films and not as well liked by critics and fans.
I always liked it myself, but I'm a bit biased for the moore era. I find all of his bonds pretty fun at least. The quirkiness of his villains, missions, and such. I get the camp is cringe for many, but it's all subjective
@@mike91mdk45 I enjoyed the Roger Moore era and I am 34 years old. The first Bond I saw with my cousin and parents were The Spy Who Loved Me and Moonraker on vhs when I was a kid. I became hooked and saw Goldeneye in theaters in 95 with my parents when was 9 years old. I have been a fan ever since and seen every Bond film and own them all.
@@scottknode898 Pretty similar to me. I'm 30, and Started off my bond fandom as a kid first seeing the brosnan and moore films on tv. Was hooked. I enjoy most every bond in some way or another. It's great escape
Very cool scene. One of my faves
A duel to the death. Not just who is faster with a gun, but who is more cunning and more stealthy.
They aren’t mere cowboys or gentlemen of honor. They are assassins. One an intelligent agent and the other a mad hitman
Nick Nack: "I fool you!"
Bond: "I can do that too"
Nick Nack: "Wait, that's illegal"
I loved this man Roger Moore. He was no doubt the very best Bond.
When I first saw this movie in later 1974 I will admit the "ending" took me totally by surprise. Who would have thought it?🤔😲
Nick Nack got the job on Fantasy Island because of this as Tatoo,
Come to think about it Mr. Rourke and Tatoo are similar to Scaramanga and Nick Nack
I never seen this and could tell right away that Bond was going to be in place of the mannequin at some point especially once you take note of the broken fingers and then they magically are whole again.
Compared to Live And Let Die, The Man With The Golden Gun was a disappointment. However, The Man With The Golden Gun in my opinion was still better than the futuristic Moonraker and way better than A View To A Kill.
Agreed
My favorite three Roger Moore Bond films: Live and Let Die, TMWTGG, and For Your Eyes Only.
@@robertbeckman2054 The Spy Who Loved Me was arguably Moore's best bond outing. He at least still had the looks back then. The 1980s were not kind to Moore's looks. That's for sure.
@@jetsrno1 he's comfortable in the role too. He's kind of a jerk in this movie.
For me: Spy Who Loved Me ranks #1. The visual effects, the gadgets, the soundtrack and Barbara Bach. But For Your Eyes Only and Golden Gun come close behind. For a start, FYEO has Topol in it and that amazing scene where Bond ruthlessly murders Locque. And this film just for Christopher Lee alone. Sadly I don’t think these films would get a look-in with my kids, what with the Marvel universe and Fortnite. They don’t know what they’re missing.
And again, Lee doesn't scream when dying
Fun fact: there is an Alternate encounter between Bond and Scaramanga in the beach which was cut from the final product.
You can see a portion of it on the teaserth-cam.com/video/BuAlsuYWuGE/w-d-xo.html
I searched for that portion
R.I.P. Christopher Lee 1922-2015
And what about Roger Moore?
And Hervé Villechaize?
@@whiteknightcat R.I.P. to him too
I always wondered about how Bond pulled this off. He needed to get the Bond mannequin out of sight, and he just needed the coat and tie to change into, rest of outfit he was already fitted with. But he also needed to have found the gun that dropped. Thinking if he had a hiding place out of sight to bring the mannequin off to, and already had his gun, probably could have pulled the whole switch off in about 20 seconds. With a beating heart, hoping nik nak didn't notice on the cameras.
James Bond VS Count Dooku.
007:My power has doubled since the last time we met,count
Count Dooku:twice the pride,double the fall
Or Count Dracula
Scaramanga VS Count Dooku - either way and Count Dooku wins easily.
Or Dr. Fu Man Chu.
I would have at least taken the Golden Gun as a trophy keepsake.
I love these kinds of villains that just loves playing with protagonists' mind.
They have had a good camera back in then. This is quite good quality film..
It has been touched up a bit in recent years. All of the Bond films have been remastered.
Back when Bond's were films. Not movies.
3:36 The same look that he gives Palpatine after the words: "DO IT!"
Fun fact: Calvin Dyson prefers this movie to FRWL
"Hiding in plain sight... bold."
- Lester
2:00 if Moore is supposed to be a somewhat older, more experienced James Bond it makes sense that his facial reaction to this potentially catastrophic mistake is just "Well that's gonna make this harder", even losing his pistol during a duel to the death with Scaramanga doesn't strain his nerves much.
A great guy is Christopher he has great performances.
The suspense in this scene! The only other scene that gives me the same feeling is the laser beam scene from Goldfinger - say what you like about Guy Hamilton, his films always had some absolute gold in them!
That was a brilliant scene!
Why does Scaramanga look so scared 2:48?
Because he doesn't know where Bond is
I'm surprised Lee can even make a scared face. Probably the only time he used it his whole life.
That Golden gun looks a bit.. Like a LEGO thing or something :)
Still one of my favourite Bond Films
0:08 Metal Slug Morden's Laugh 😂😂😂😭
One part I still don't from this movie... There's a scene where Bond, Hip, and two girls escape from the karateschool. They get to the car, Hip and the Girls get in and then he drives off? It makes no sense.
In my opinion the guy driving off before Bond got in the car is actually one of the more realistic aspects to the plot. In real life things don't always go smoothly or to plan. People screw up. people panic. Other people then have to improvise. A certain level of chaos can ensue... By contrast much of the film is verging on pure sci-fi - cars turning into planes, etc. It's kinda fun, but it's very much based on fantasy. (Well okay, all Bond-films are fantasy. But some of the ones with Connery are still based on some kind of near-reality, IMO.)
@@j.burgess4459 Yeah, I don't mind Roger Moore but they weren't as good as the Connery ones. They added more comedy and more absurd stuff, but whatever, It's all in good fun.
People really think movies like this are better than what Daniel craig is doing loool
This is James Bond, not the generic action crap Craig is in
I feel that as a possibility this should have occurred to Scaramanga in the moment (i.e., Bond pretending to be his own mannequin on the set’s stage).
