Also not helping out much is Herve Villechaize as Scaramanga's hench-dwarf Nick Nack. Christopher Lee, however, is Scaramanga and seems to be having the time of his life. Britt Ekland is the major Bond Babe as Goodnight, although as I said, she doesn't really do anything. Likewise for Maude Adams as Scaramanga's main squeeze, Andrea. She's there, but she just doesn't really need to be.
Bond really is.
He smacks women around and pushes little kids out of boats without even batting an eye. It's also the end of an era as Bond was given a softer, more gentlemanly persona from the next film on. As the traditional gun sight moved across the screen and opened to reveal the first shot of the film, I became extremely nervous. The image was scratchy and covered in dirt. After the initial opening shots though, I was pretty surprised by how good the DVD looks.
