Man with the Golden Gun

007 James Bond starring Roger Moore,

directed by Guy Hamilton

1974 MGM in Hollywood made an exciting action movie called "Man with the Golden Gun", in which 007 James Bond (Roger Moore) was missioned to search for a solar energy weapon. The secret service used the Queen Elizabeth, which sank in Hong Kong in 1971, as a stakeout in the 007 flick. Another featuring scene was the Bottom up Bar in Hankow Road, Kowloon. The Camera also captured some nice pictures of junk boats floating on the Victoria Harbor.
