Is This The Best "Bad" James Bond Movie?

The Man With the Golden Gun is one of my favourite James Bond movies, but if you ask most Bond fans, they’ll rank it as among the worst James Bond movies. So in The Man With the Golden Gun’s 50th anniversary year, let’s look back on its highlights, lowlights, car jump, slide whistles and of course Christopher Lee and Scaramanga.
