  The British spy with a licence to kill takes on his dark underworld double, a classy assassin who kills with golden bullets at £1 million a hit. Roger Moore, in his second outing as James Bond, meets Christopher Lee's Scaramanga, one of the most magnetic villains in the entire series, in this entertaining but rather wan entry in the 007 sweepstakes. Bond's globetrotting search takes him to Hong Kong, Bangkok, and finally China, where Scaramanga turns his island retreat into a twisted theme park for a deadly game of wits between the gunmen, moderated by Scaramanga's diminutive man Friday Nick Nack (Fantasy Island's Hervé Villechaize). Britt Ekland does her best as an embarrassingly inept Bond girl, a clumsy, dim agent named Mary Goodnight who looks fetching in a bikini, while Maud Adams is Scaramanga's tough but haunted lover and assistant. Clifton James, the redneck sheriff from Live and Let Die, makes an ill-advised appearance as a racist tourist. He briefly teams up with 007 in what is otherwise the film's highlight, a high-energy chase through the crowded streets of Bangkok that climaxes with a breathtaking mid-air corkscrew jump. Bond and company are let down by a lazy script, but Moore balances the overplayed humour with a steely performance and Lee's charm and enthusiasm makes Scaramanga a cool, deadly, and thoroughly enchanting adversary. --Sean Axmaker, Amazon.com

  Part comedy, part indie drama, and inspired by real events from the late 1970s, this acclaimed three-part mini-series from the award-winning producers of Baron Noir tells the story of a disillusioned film director who finds inspiration under the strangest of circumstances... While shooting another mindless action flick in Asia, French director Mathieu Stannis is abducted by spies from a neighbouring dictatorship. Enraged by his country's abysmal standard of movie production, its Hollywood-fixated Supreme Leader wants Mathieu to helm a self-penned re-imagining of King Kong that will glorify his regime. Mathieu faces a stark choice: shoot the movie, or they ll shoot him. Hampered by an inept crew, Cold War-era kit and the unpredictable demands of the Commander, Mathieu nevertheless rediscovers a long-lost creativity and passion for his art. Danger, however, is ever-present and when the CIA offers a chance of freedom in exchange for valuable information, it could be his best hope of returning home. But will he be able to make the movie in time?
