Synopsis:

The Man With The Golden Gun is now taken a little more seriously, which means no silly karate fight outside of the karate school, a shorter boat chase without the annoying kid selling an elephant statue and most importantly, no J.W. Pepper (which unfortunately meant losing the entire car chase).


Intentions:

The Man With The Golden Gun should've been way more iconic than it turned out. Apparently there was more filmed of the final duel between these two titans, which a trailer can show, but who knows if we will ever see what it could've and should've been. For now, I wanted to, as always, tighten things up and lose a majority of jokes that just don't land. Also, Alice Cooper's song is way more awesome!


Change List:

-Added Alice Cooper's version of the title song -Tightened up initial encounter between Ms. Anders and Bond -Cut Scaramanga basically fondling Ms. Anders with the Golden Gun on his boat -Cut random goons eyeing up Bond as he leaves the compound because it gives away too quickly that they know he isn't who he says he is -Cut Bond saying "he must've found me titillating" -Cut the agent dropping off Bond with his nieces in the car - Cut the whole karate fight scene with the agent and his nieces. Now, Bond jumps through the window of the karate compound/school and heads for a boat -Cut Bond's lines as he is trying to hit the henchmen with the motor -Cut all of the kid selling the elephant statue and JW Pepper -Cut Bond's line "a gun and a bag of peanuts" as Nick Nack holds a gun on him -Cut the entire car chase because J.W. Pepper is visible throughout 95% of the shots of Bond's car -Cut "this should run a few electric toothbrushes" when Scaramanga shows Bond around his island and the solex -Cut henchman fondling Goodnight -Trim Bond saying he's never killed a midget before -Cut scene between Bond and Goodnight and talking about the boat being on autopilot since Nick Nack would've tried to kill them mid-sex and not after their first round of sexy time -Added Alice Cooper's version of the title song to bring the film to a close.
