Review

I rented The Man With The Golden Gun, which was the one Bond movie I had never seen. It's not an especially good movie, much too jokey for my taste, actually almost as much of a parody as Casino Royale.

There's a dumbass American tourist who keeps falling in the canals in Thailand. There's a scene where Bond watches with detached amusement as two twelve year old girls dispose of an entire class at a karate school. In another scene, Bond gets the crap kicked out of him by Tattoo from Fantasy Island. Luckily, as Tattoo is about to kill Bond, the owner of the estate insists that the murder must not occur on his property, so they take Bond away to be killed (as usual) - by the kids in the karate school - the same ones who couldn't handle the twelve year old girls.

There is one funny scene in the school. As Bond squares off to face the school's champion, they face each other for the traditional bow. As the opponent is bowing, Roger Moore skips the bow and kicks the guy in the head, knocking him out like a light.

On the other hand, I stumbled into an actual exposed nipple from an actual known performer, Maud Adams), with no tricks or filters or anything. It's almost impossible to notice it at regular speed. You have to watch the entire scene frame-by-frame even to know it is there.
