James Bond: The Man with the Golden Gun





Drink: Martini
Appetizer: Hot & Sour Soup
Entree: Moo Shoo Chicken
Dessert: Fortune Cookies

Movie:
There was serious lack of effort put into this film which is reflected by how short the credits are but we managed to single out some highlights...
  • Oh the 70's.  I'm guessing it was one hell of a party even though the style was hideous.  Just look at the Bond car for this film.  There is nothing attractive about it.  In fact it looks like something a math teacher would drive.
  • There were two Bond girls for this installment which is interesting because as we all know usually this post is reserved for only one underweight beauty.  At least there is a good girl versus bad girl dynamic.
  • The film was released in 1974 which is also the same year Godfather II came out so that was probably a real moral crusher.  Regardless they do manage to put the signature Bond time stamp on it that reflects what was happening such as the energy crisis (which is still ongoing) & the martial arts trend (which is easy to say lasted well into the 80's...Karate Kid).  
  • The golden gun is one of the most iconic props of the series & it was not even made by Q.  It consisted of a pen, lighter & cigarette case & even fired specially made solid golden bullets. And lets not forget that in the video game you can kill someone with one shot of the golden gun!
