The Man with the Golden Gun (1974)

  Merry Christmas?  I guess.  It's a little early.  

This is a terrible movie as well, but not as bad as the last one.  I'm really starting to dislike Roger Moore as Bond.  I mean Connery had his moments but this Bond just sucks.

Renowned assassin Scaramanga (Christopher Lee) is after Bond so M (Bernard Lee) pulls him from active duty.  The tacit agreement is that Bond will use his free time to hunt Scaramanga and get to him first.  He accomplishes this by completely failing at everything he touches.  He is aided in failure by Agent Goodnight (Brit Eklund), a dumb blonde who is assigned the Far East branch of MI6.  Also, that horrible Southern stereotype character is back for some unfathomable reason, spewing racist diatribe in some misguided attempt at comic relief.

Trust me, the only relief is when the end credits roll.
