Christopher Lee - The Man With The Golden Gun - part 1

[lalaxbo]

One of the greatest Bondvillains of all time ! :D Scaramanga is deadly with his golden gun ! :D 

[bluesage10]

She is so hot.

[fenriz218]

Interestingly enough: apparently Ian Flemming, a relative of Sir Christopher Lee, wrote James Bond with Lee in mind. During WW2, Lee had worked with the secret service - however, what exactly he did still hasn't been disclosed ... :P

[ThePariskat]

Christopher Lee was such an elegant looking man. Love him!

[8Aimee]

@ThePariskat He puts the s in suave:)

[brianwayland]

Lee is such a class act......thumbs up if you like him as Dracula

[SystemJammer]

Dracula with a golden gun!

[GronHatchat]

Only Lee can get away with that!~

[SeanNelsonIsTheBomb]

That's really attractive.

[countrad]

that's the proper way to seduce a woman!

[AwesomeNightman]

gun rape

[007rocksalotmann]

He was 52 here, and really looks 39.

Even today 9at 88), he looks about 68.

[nisiriti]

sir christopher lee is handsome, sexy and talented!!! he has the whole package!! he is too underrated by the academy awards...........they lose

[92af]

Happy 88th birthday to you Christopher Lee (27th May 2010)

[tonious35]

Don't F@#k with Saruman! Especially when he has a Golden Gun and a Midget at his disposal. WTF? side arm foreplay?

[mistyred8]

Love the soundtrack to this movie as well!

[jksonny]

IMO, TMWTGG is a very weak Bond film but Scaramanga was a good villain. Miss Anders is also an interesting character.

[scarabmango]

My second father, Christopher Lee.

the prodigy mindfields :)

[triggert531]

Maude Adams was the quinntesessial "fuck kitten" who else but she could have carried off this rol,e. what a beautiful woman?!

[McLarenMercedes]

@triggert531

yeah, she bears the distinction of being the only actress to be cast twice as two completely different characters

for the male actors there's plenty of those...

[sylarfan1]

Heh, One factor i think one should consider about "Christopher lee Vs Sean Connery" Is That

Sir Christopher lee absolutely Hated Sean Connery as James Bond. And Has stated that The one Actor least fitted for playing James Bond Was indeed Sean Connery.

[BruceinFalkirk]

Where does he say that?

[sylarfan1]

@BruceinFalkirk Even Though You might not remember asking He said this in one of his interviews and you can even read on Imdb that his opinion of the most fitting James Bond was infact Pierce Brosnan.

[Herodias2512]

Christopher Lee hat diesen schwachen Bond gerettet!

[92af]

Christopher Lee and Sean Connery together would have been better.

[McLarenMercedes]

Well Sean Connery turned down a record amount of money for Live and let die and made it pefectly clear he didn't want to play James Bond ever again. In fact it's said he intentionally played badly in Diamond are forever so that they would never hire him again.

Roger Moore did feel a lot more fresh in both his first movies than Connery did in Diamonds are forever.

Fact is Connery recommended Moore to the producers.

[drhploveboat]

dude i love that look oh his face at 0:53. he's like: you are gonna fuck my gun, and you are gonna like it!!!

[5648378]

man Maud Adams was so hot in this movie it to bad her charcter died in this movie because she was more smarter then goodnight I think the man with the golden gun chould of been beter if Maud Adams was the main Bond girl insted of goodnight even do goodnight was on the hottsest bond cicks in history but she was not that smart to be bond girl I think and Maud Adams charcter was more smarter I think

[roquefortfiles]

I like the film just the way it is. Flawed? yes but every film has bad points. I like the elegance and class of the Bond pictures at this time. Today they are just over done action flicks. Nothing special

[Lytton333]

Agreed..

[weishauptogram]

Well she did come back as Octopussy.

[5648378]

I think Scaramanga, Sanchez, Goldfinger, and Blofied are the best Bond villians ever

[randomdave30]

Best Bond villains? Le Chiffre, Pleasance's Blofeld, Scaramanga and Red Grant.

[McLarenMercedes]

Where is Max Zorin?

Christopher Walken is always good to watch.

[5648378]

him too

[alinaiqbal09]

STUPID

[mistyred8]

I'm a little let down by these new Bond movies - there's hardly what I'd call humor in them. These older movies leaves you wholly entertained:)

[Jendellyn]

What a son of a bitch... And what a sexy one! ;)

[mistyred8]

movie magic

[llllkkiiiuik]

christopher lee is a disant cousin of ian fleming

[sirmortrainey]

OWNED....

[airturnip]

PRODIGY MINEFIELDS. This is dangerous!

[mouskaka4]

Lee and Moore are both world class in this film!

[itwontcomeout5678]

At 0:53 Scaramanga gets mad because his slut doesn't like his gun (golden cock?)

NO SHIT MAN YOU COULD JUST BLOW HER HEAD OFF ANY SECOND!!!!!!11

lol jk i rly liked Lee in this one

[jegspillerpiano]

He does shoot her in the head later on!

[joewdyk11]

Actually, fucking awkward. LOL

Oooh, lemme touch you up with my... GUN. MUAH AHAH.

The Moore Bond films were such pulp comedies... hardly the serious spy stories of the books. But fun nonetheless!

[McLarenMercedes]

well thanks to his take on the James Bond movies the whole genre not only survived but prospered and lasted to this day

in the late 60's many already believed the James Bond movies were getting old fashioned, especially with the view on women and the manchaucinist protagonist¨

for this very reason George Lazenby turned down more James Bond movies, since people thought they would never last into the 70's

Most of Roger Moore's James Bond's made a lot of money and he did 7 after all

[KaneMilohai]

Proof positive that Christopher Lee is a badass.

[SirTimothyMarton]

This guy is Saruman in Lord of the rings and Count Dooku in Star Wars this guy took it far plus in a James Bond Picture and a great one at that

[Mattdizzie]

Why wont anyone post this movie on youtube

[bobbyBollyfan]

Christopher Lee has always combined the skill of a fine actor with the panache of a star; smooth, subtle & most importantly suave. His villains always were Machiavellian & he often countered this darkness with Machiavellian charm. I have often said he could still be a Bond nemesis: The sight of him waltzing with a beauty like Olga Kurylenko before a confrontation with 007 would surely constitute a classic moment; I am thoroughly glad Jack Palance turned down Scaramanga; Kudos to a stalwart.

[roquefortfiles]

Ahhh back when the Bond films had style and grace. When they were FILMS. Not movies.

[2wingo]

Amen to that.

[roquefortfiles]

LOL. I grew up in a different time i guess. I saw these films when they came out. I cant really put my finger on what i mean when i say these are FILMS and not movies. But they just had a bit of a different feel to them. An elegance in the camera work and lighting. Stories took their time being told and there was not so much a rush to have the big action sequence lest the audience get bored. Today Bonds (Brosnans) have no class or style. They have turned them in to Die Hards really.

[2wingo]

FINALLY, someone who understands!

[roquefortfiles]

In 30 years will we be looking back on Pierce Brasundone Bond movies and going... Oooh i remember them?".

I really doubt it.

[2wingo]

I like some of the Brosnan films, but they're nothing compared to the Connery and Moore films.

[roquefortfiles]

Weather you like Moore or Connery. I like both. I think you have to admit that THOSE films up until about Spy Who Loved Me had a much different feel to the Bond films of now. They had a real elegance and beauty about them. A different style of film making that is not really around today. Thats kind of what i miss about todays films. There is nothing classic looking about them.

[2wingo]

That's the problem with people, today: They don't want to think about what they're watching, they just want to be endlessly entertained.

[mistyred8]

Great point. It IS possible to like both Moore and Connery. They had their own, distinct takes on the character. I prefer Moore though because he embraced the fantasy element to the movie Bond, a whole different cup of tea than the book Bond. Also: the 70's were so wonderfully cheesy!

[roquefortfiles]

Good points. Actually Ian Flemming was outraged when Sean Connery was cast in the part. As written in the novels Moore is far closer to the way the character was actually written. He is supposed to be an English gentleman.

[Timathong]

its prolly generational. You grew up with the old classic bond films which are great, dont get me wrong. But I grew up with Brosnan and the Goldeneye days. I guess theres alot of different classes of bond fans.

[roquefortfiles]

The thing i dont like about Bond in the Brosnan era is that there was too much of a rush to get huge action sequences on screen. It became ONLY about that. The film makers began to spoon feed the audience. I just like the older films because they let sequences breath and pause a little bit more. Brosnan films all started to look like Die Hard in a,.. on a... with a...

And i personally dont care for Brosnan in the role. He looks far to self conscious in the character instead of just being

[McLarenMercedes]

best thing I've read in a long time

When I and everybody else had waited 6 years after Licence to kill for Goldeneye we expected something new, but instead got rehashed old ideas we had seen in several older James Bond movies just packed in a flashier 90's costume..

they should have made a re-boot back in 1995 not letting us wait until 2006 with Daniel Craig

Personally I consider Timothy Dalton's both movies way superior to any of the Brosnan Bond movies

[mozza01902]

@McLarenMercedes definetly agree about Daltons movies being better than Brosnans. Hate the way some people slate Dalton when he was ahead of his time as Craig has taken a similar approach.

[McLarenMercedes]

@mozza01902

Sadly this didn't work in the late 80's in the States. So they decided to switch on the "cash machine" again when they cast Pierce Brosnan. In my mind his take of Bond should have disappeared after Moore (nothing bad about him), and all those tiring one-liners and cliches were really a thing of the past.

As a matter of fact Brosnan himself said he really cringed when he was forced to say some lines.

[MrLunitunz]

@McLarenMercedes Brosnan was/is a much better actor and a much better Bond than they allowed him to be. What really turns me off to the Bond producers is how bad the scripts were that they gave him. GoldenEye was the only really good one. When Brosnan was doing a non-Bond film, he knocked it out of the park, look at The Thomas Crown Affair or The Tailor of Panama in which he played the anti-Bond.

[McLarenMercedes]

@MrLunitunz

You're right, but for some reason a whole new generation liked the comicbook hero version of Bond when Brosnan took over and all 4 of his movies did well in the box office.

I always have a hard time comparing Pierce Brosnan with Steve McQueen, who was in the original Thomas Crown Affair, and McQueen made that movie (without him it has little going for it). The Tailor of Panama was decent.

Brosnan could have done A View to a Kill, but was contracted with tv, and that was that.

[MrLunitunz]

@McLarenMercedes It was The Living Daylights he was offered. I'm on the fence as to whether it would've been better with him or if it's best that Dalton got to do it. Either way Brosnan was screwed twice as far as Bond was concerned and that was just the first time.

[Tokopol]

@MrLunitunz It's my understanding that The Living Daylights was specifically written with Brosnan in mind (gadgets, jokes, etc.), but after it was already completed they realized NBC wouldn't let him out of his obligations for Remington Steele. In any event, they modified it slightly for Dalton, and it turned out great as far as I'm concerned.

[MrLunitunz]

@Tokopol They did re-write the script. And they did want Brosnan. But they wanted Dalton for a long time, as far back as OHMSS.

Thing is, Brosnan was/is the perfect Bond, I wonder what kind of Bond movie it would've been if he'd done it when he was the perfect age to do it. But Dalton did his background research in reading the books, he had creative input in as much as his condition was that the films be more like the books. Any actor who's that dedicated should be cherished. Both are great.

[Tokopol]

@MrLunitunz I'm partial to Dalton as the perfect Bond, but you're generally correct.

[MrLunitunz]

@Tokopol I like Dalton, I think he really is underrated, and he was certainly better than Daniel Craig, but his portrayal wasn't perfect. Dalton was very good at getting down the darker, more psychologically interesting aspects of Bond but he lacks the gentlemanly, Cary Grant-like veneer. Pierce Brosnan on the other hand has that veneer, being (arguably) Cary Grant's modern equivalent. If you combined the two, you'd certainly have a Bond that was truly perfect and close to the books.

[MrLunitunz]

@mozza01902 I love Dalton's Bond films, but I think Pierce Brosnan was the better Bond. I agree with you about how people slate Dalton however, I was reading a list of the best Bond films, I think it was Entertainment Weekly, and they praised On Her Majesty's Secret Service saying that Lazenby wasn't that bad, but Dalton was. Which is plain stupidity. Dalton had more talent and charisma in his little finger than Lazenby had in his whole body. Dalton also had more originality than Craig.

[Jendellyn]

Brosnan is a good actor, but there was something about Connery and Moore that made them and the films they played in so stylish and tense, if you know what I mean... They might shoot thirty brand new James Bond movies (not films, as you observed so accurately), but they will never have the same effect on people...

[roquefortfiles]

I so know what you mean. My era that i grew up with is the Moore era. Though he played it differently i liked what he did but only up to Spy Who loved me. Then his films "changed". Actually Ian Fleming was horrified at the choice of Connery (true). Moore is actually exactly as the character is written. An English gentleman. I just find the Brosnan age so over the top. They took the Britishness out of it which i thought was a huge error. They became very American looking. No elegance

[roquefortfiles]

Pierce is a good looking guy but the man is 150 pounds soaking wet. A friend saw him on set one day and said you could hide him behind your pinky he is so thin. I just never got a sense of menace from Brosnan. Whereas Connery you felt could kick someones ass and then some.

[randomdave30]

Brosnan is not the greatest actor in the history of cinema, but then are any of the Bonds? I think Brosnan handled confrontation scenes particularly well.

[cpthurme]

niiiice... also Lee is cool

[Karkaroff26]

I thought Lee did a good job as a Bond villian.

[McLarenMercedes]

he is good as any villain in any movie

[serendipity990]

*faints* wow!!! that would work on me....

[Bluemadangel]

one of the most beautiful scenes in any bond film

[josatinho]

ONE OF MY IDOLS IS CHRISTOPHER LEE...

[RAINSKRIBBLE]

the music sounds familular!!!! did the Prodigy sample this in the song ''Mindfields'' ??

[jonnyh1616]

i wish i had the golden gun, would be awesome

[FranceNY09]

Christopher Lee has always been handsome. He is sucha great actor. This is one of my favorite Bond films!

[Kotlettbengt]

It´s a shame Lee has never been nominated for an Oscar - he´s brilliant!

[mistyred8]

Yeah, he could do some much with so little, the sign of someone truly brilliant.

[2wingo]

@Kotlettbengt It's all so political.

[pwnpants]

@Kotlettbengt its is even more of a shame that the midget guy hasn't been nominated because he is a BOSS

[TubeGuest5178]

PERVERT!!!

[MrHelem]

Is it even possible to make a fully functional gun out of a cuff link, a pen, a lighter, and a cig case? I mean, I love the concept of it, but still!

[pigweeduk]

you only need a tube, a bullet and a pin... so yes i guess you could make something

[chrismc410]

If rifling and reaming of a chamber for the round is factored in, becomes a little more complicated.

[PepperPhoenix]

So ong as you have something to hit the bullet with sufficient force to detonate the charge inside and something to direct the bullet then anything can be a gun really.

I recall seeing once, a lovely piece of trench-art, a gun made entirely of bits of plumbing and fragments of shell casing. It was fully functional.

[MrHelem]

In that case, I'm getting me a .50-cal Model 500 bullet, a tack hammer, and a jumbo Sharpie!

[scaramanga999]

you can.

[mistyred8]

Weird, but strangely sexy..

[supyowhoa]

what he did with his gun was weird lol

[Hobbitska]

5/5 for HIM.
