These are what we call the 'YMMV items.' Things that some people find in this work. We call them 'your mileage might vary' because not everyone sees these things in the same way. This starts discussions in the trope lists, a thing we don't want. Please use the discussion page if you'd like to discuss any of these items.
YMMV: The Man With The Golden Gun
Damsel Scrappy: Mary Goodnight is among the least popular girls from the Bond franchise.
Lulu's completely insane title song straddles the line between this and Narm Charm.
Padding: The film is prolonged by pointless meandering in a few cases. For example, why Bond had to get the bullet in Beirut when he had the one sent to him, the Kung Fu scene and its following canal chase etc.
Take That, Scrappy!: In his last scene, Pepper is arrested by the Thai police, and as far as anyone knows, he's still in Thai prison.
They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot: Sort of. Although the climax of the film is by no means bad, the concept of Bond and Scaramanga having a showdown should have been a LOT more suspenseful and dramatic.
Took The Bad Film Seriously: Christopher Lee's excellent performance deserved a better Bond film than this one.
Vindicated by History: A very minor example. Although it still is regarded as cringe-inducingly camp at times, the film's theme of duality has been commended in recent years, as has its villain, Moore's performance, and even its pace, despite the arguable Padding.
