About The Man With The Golden Gun Poster

The Man with the Golden Gun was the fourth and final film in the series directed by Guy Hamilton. The script was written by Richard Maibaum and Tom Mankiewicz. The film was set in the face of the 1973 energy crisis, a dominant theme in the script. Britain had still not yet fully overcome the crisis when the film was released in December 1974. The film also reflects the then popular martial arts film craze, with several kung fu scenes and a predominantly Asian location, being set and shot in Thailand, Hong Kong, and Macau. Part of the film is also set in Beirut, Lebanon, but it was not shot there

What's interesting

Another uncanny unlikeness for the lead ladies from McGinnis which adds fuel to my theory that all artwork was completed in pre-production prior to casting in this case the Two Swedish models chose as the Bond girls, Britt Ekland and Maud Adams.
