Storyline

Scaramanga is a hit-man who charges a million dollars per job. He becomes linked to the death of a scientist working on a powerful solar cell, and James Bond is called in to investigate. As he tracks down Scaramanga, he realises that he is highly respected by the killer, but will this prove to be an advantage in the final showdown? Written by Graeme Roy <gsr@cbmamiga.demon.co.uk>

Goofs

Crew or equipment visible: In the establishing shot of Hai Fat's hillside house, patches of light dart about on the ornate arch/frontage. This is from hand-held reflective panels, held by crew members out of sight (off the bottom corners of the image), who are trying to give the booklet guards some light/contrast on their faces.
