Movie evaluation: "007 The Golden Gun Man" wants to convey a lot of pop culture elements to the audience, but almost everything it wants to express tends to be superficial and lacks connotation. The content of the film is quite fresh, but the comedic expression of the film is somewhat out of the style of the 007 series of films, and the passages in the film showing kung fu are also somewhat abrupt. Several of the film's villains performed well, especially Christopher Lee's performance, which added a lot to the film. (Rolling Stone, Empire review)
· "007 The Golden Gun Man" has all the indispensable elements of the 007 series of films, which integrate these elements, such as exoticism, flower beauty, amazing stunts and sets, and the music of the 007 film produced by musician John Barry, which is well integrated into the plot of the film, and the scene of the showdown between Scarmanga and 007 is even more imaginative.
