A decent bond movie. Christopher Lee is an interesting villain, although they took his character, Scaramanga way too over the top at the end with his giant (very cliché) laser gun and underground lair. I bet the producers threw it at the last minute just to follow the Bond convention. Also, Hervé "tattoo" Villechaize is one of the great Bond henchmen as a super creepy butler called "Nick Nack" who scurries around everyone's knees and giggles like a mini-odd job. The plot has some interesting twists here and there and is worth watching. However, I must say this film has the most annoying bond themes of all time (by Scottish singer, Lulu) ahh... Make it stop!
