History Awesome / TheManWithTheGoldenGun

* The car stunt over the river in Thailand, one of the best in the series. Except, of course, for the [[{{Narm}} infamous slide whistle over it.]]

* Cold and cruel as it was, Scaramanga's shooting [[spoiler: Andrea]] in the middle of a crowded arena without anyone being the wiser is a serious show of skill.

* Scaramanga's PreMortemOneLiner AND BondOneLiner when he kills [[spoiler:Hai Fat]], after calmly accepting insults from Hai Fat, all the while casually assembling his golden gun. Now that he has the Solex, he ends their partnership. Seeing as how he's an EvilCounterpart to Bond, this is to be expected.

--> [[spoiler:'''Hai Fat''']]: "Bond doesn't know you're in Bangkok. He's never seen you. But he knows me. That's the problem."

--> [[spoiler:'''Hai Fat''']]: ''(OhCrap Face)''

--> '''Scaramanga''': "Mr [[spoiler:Fat]] has just resigned. I'm the new chairman of the board."
** After leaving [[spoiler: Hai Fat's]] office.

** The stunt driver who'd trained extensively to do the jump suddenly wasn't available. Another driver, "Bumps" Willard, happened to be on set, [[FallingIntoTheCockpit simply volunteered to perform the stunt]] and did it flawlessly on the first take. As soon as the shot was completed, Cubby Broccoli rushed up to him and slapped a roll of hundred dollar bills into his hand out of gratitude and Willard asked if he could try again!

* Scaramanga's PreMortemOneLiner AND BondOneLiner when he kills [[spoiler:Hai Fat]]. Seeing as how he's an EvilCounterpart to Bond, this is to be expected.

** And after the deed is done.

* Scaramanga calmly accepting insults from Hai Fat, all the while casually assembling his golden gun. Now that he has the Solex, he ends their partnership.
-->'''Hai Fat''': Bond doesn't know you're in Bangok, he's never seen you. But he knows me. That's the problem.
-->'''Scaramanga''': Oh, it's no problem.
** Right before Scaramanga kills Hai Fat, he drops his cheery facade into a cold stare that screams, "You've had this coming for ages, you bastard".
** And right after killing Hai Fat, he casually takes control of his business.
-->'''Assistant''': What happened?
-->'''Scaramanga''': Mr. Fat has just resigned. I'm the new chairman of the board.

[[caption-width-right:350:Just ignore the slide whistle.]]

* The car stunt over the river in Thailand, one of the best in the series especially that no computer effects were involved. The slide whistle, on the other hand, either renders it {{Narm}} or doubles as a SugarWiki/{{Funny Moment|s}}.
** No computer effects, but the stunt itself [[http://jalopnik.com/the-james-bond-corkscrew-jump-was-the-first-computer-mo-1711459704 was the first in the world to be entirely planned and calculated by computers beforehand]]. Not only was this the reason they got the stunt on the ''very first try'', but programmer Raymond [=McHenry's=] work with simulations was the direct predecessor to modern video game physics engines. Let me repeat that - we wouldn't have WreakingHavok without this stunt.
** The stunt driver who'd trained extensively to do the jump suddenly wasn't available. Another driver, "Bumps" Willard, happened to be on set [[FallingIntoTheCockpit simply volunteered to perform the stunt]] and did it flawlessly on the first take.
