- The Solex was inspired by the energy crisis of the
70's.
- Scaramanga's base was actually a volcanic rock
island called Khow-Ping-Kan in the Phang Nga Bay of Thailand.
- Christopher Lee is the cousin of Ian Fleming.
- Britt Ekland, real name Eklund, is the ex-wife of
Peter Sellers who starred in the spoof of
Casino Royale.
- Britt Ekland was pregnant during the shooting.
- Felix Leiter is a main character in the book
version, yet he does not make an appearance in the film version.
- The name Scaramanga came from a Greek man Fleming
knew named Pandia Scaramanga whom he met on the island of Hydra and in
whose island house he stayed in. Fleming actually asked permission to
use the name, letting him know that he would be a villain. Mr.
Scaramanga, being a superstitious man, replied: "I certainly do
not mind your using my name but please do not to kill me."
- The scene where Scaramanga and 007 stand
back-to-back, with their guns drawn, is a reference to the John Wayne
western The Comancheros (1961). The only difference was that Nick Nack
counts to 20, instead of 10.
- When Bond finds Andrea Anders in the shower,
the reflection of a crew member can be seen in the mirror's reflection.

Fransisco Scaramanga
Played by Christopher Lee
Scaramanga plays the title character in The
Man With The Golden Gun, as the the best and most highly paid
assassin in the world (at $1 million a 'hit'). He plans to
monopolise solar power and when Bond gives chase, Scaramanga
challenges him to a duel on his island. Of course, 007 comes out as
a winner. Coincidentally, actor Christopher Lee is Ian Fleming's
cousin
|
Nick Nack
Played by Herve Villechaize
Nick Nack is Fransisco Scaramanga's diminutive assistant who gets
thrills from trying to use others to eliminate his boss. Nick Nack
is the controller of the man with the golden gun's play house -- he
knows that when his master dies, he will become the heir of the
estate. |
Sheriff JW Pepper
Played by Clifton James
A hick sheriff from Louisiana, Pepper first
met Bond in Live and Let Die while Bond was escaping from
Kananga's henchmen by motorboat. JW serves as comic relief in The
Man With The Golden Gun. He really isn't an ally, so to speak.
Instead, he serves as one of Bond's contacts.
|
Lieutenant Hip
Played by Soon Taik-Oh
Hip is the Hong Kong police officer assigned to work
with Bond to recover the Solex Agitator. When he pretends to arrest
Bond following the assassination of Gibson, he inexplicably fails to
tell 007 that he is actually bringing him to a meeting with M, thus
causing Bond to have to initiate an escape. Later, after he and Bond
flee Hai Fat's henchmen, Hip speeds away in his car leaving Bond
behind in the dust to fend for himself. Hipe later suffers the
indignity of disguising himself as a peanut vendor at a boxing
stadium. Although he succeeds in recovering the Agitator, Hip makes
the mistake of entrusting it to Mary Goodnight.
