The Man With The Golden Gun



Big villain
: Scaramanga
Working for: Hai-Fat
The plan: To steal the British solex agitator and use it to harness solar power into a big old laser. Also: to kill Bond with a golden bullet.

Wildly ahead of the curve on renewable energy and home entertainment, Scaramanga hatches a scheme that even he doesn’t really understand. “Science was never my strong point,” he tells Bond as he struggles to explain what exactly he’s got planned. Seriously, Brian Cox he ain’t.

Giveaway speech: “This way the highest bidder can build hundreds of these stations and sell franchises for hundreds more. He will literally have the sun in his pocket – a monopoly on solar power.”

What he should have done: Just shot him. Not in a maze. In the head.

4 RE: ?
It is because the new Bond "is smart and has great plot and the vilains aren't silly" so they couldn't find such a moment in the new bond films... More
