The Man with the Golden Gun/Fridge

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Fridge Brilliance: Bond is adamant that he is not a sadistic psychopath like Scaramanga and that he only kills other killers, and on government orders, despite Scaramanga's insistence that "we are the same". Throughout the film, though many people die the only person killed by Bond is the killer Scaramanga himself (not quite on government orders, but at least with their approval and foreknowledge), indeed this is probably the lowest body count Bond has in any film. Though he previously told Scaramanga that he would enjoy killing him, when the shot is fired he coldly treats him as just another dead killer.
  • Fridge Logic: How in the hell did M not only know the phone number to Scaramanga's boat, but also that Bond was onboard with both the Solex Agitator and Miss Goodnight?!
    • How in the Hell could Goodnight accidentally press a button with her butt, and not feel the button goosing her ass?
    • Why does Bond go to all that trouble to get the bullet that killed Bill Fairbanks, when he already has the bullet that was sent to him?
      • "Well obviously it's useless as a bullet." The Fairbanks bullet was a real bullet used by Scaramanga. The 'trinket' could have been made anywhere.
