Matthew Field,
Roger Moore's second 007 film, now back in cinemas. Yet its munitions have been stranded in orbit for two weeks longer than planned after Nasa and Boeing pushed ahead with the launch despite the issue. Its stunts, location and villain set a gold standard “Come, come, Mr Bond… you get as much fulfillment out of killing as I do.” As lines from baddies – in this case Sir Christopher Lee's Scaramanga – it’s solid gold, 24-carat Bond villainy. The moment comes in The Man with The Golden Gun, as Scaramanga lunches with Roger Moore's 007 on his exotic island-cum-secret lair. It’s a prelude to a fight to the death. They’re exchanging notes on vintage plonk for now – in this case, Sir Christopher Lee's Scaramanga – it’s a perfectly balanced blend of sophistication and physical prowess. But they are being kept in orbit to conduct more tests on why the problems keep occurring.
