Description I've always been a tremendous fan of the Bond Franchise, so when I first started dabbling in vector graphics, I always had it in the back of my head that I wanted to put my own style on some very famous and very iconic movie posters. 


As with all of the Roger Moore-era Bond films, The Man With the Golden Gun is fairly hit or miss. Christopher Lee is genuinely menacing as the million-dollar assassin Scaramanga, but they make him wear a leisure suit. Britt Eckland is gorgeous and charming, but the counterbalance her with the indifference-inducing Maud Adams (Can you believe she got to come back in Octopussy? I mean, SERIOUSLY?!?). Herve Villechaize's Nick Nack is a fun call-back to Goldfinger, but they also had the unmitigated gall to bring back the abomination that was Sheriff JW Pepper. There's a great car chase sequence in which Bond performs a barrel roll in an AMC Hornet that was spectacularly ruined by a slide whistle sound effect. In all, it was a frustrating film, and Harry Salzman's last as producer with Cubby Broccoli.
