History Characters / TheManWithTheGoldenGun

* BlingBlingBang

Field agent working in Macau who joins Bond (much to his dismay) to help in the Scaramanga case.

She's James Bond's secretary in the Ian Fleming novels. Important character in the books, but is [[TheScrappy considered]] to be a disposable (and idiotic) Bond girl in this movie.

ChristopherLee found the role to be one of his favorites ''and'' was Ian Fleming's cousin.

!Francisco Scaramanga [-(ChristopherLee)-]

A former Rio Gunman who worked for the KGB before going freelance. He is also the most famous of the Roger Moore incarnation of James Bond's villains.

ChristopherLee found the role to be one of his favorites ''and'' was Ian Fleming's cousin.

* AffablyEvil: Unlike other villains, Scaramanga genuinely likes Bond. It won't stop him from killing him though.
* AdaptationDistillation: The literary version is little more than a Spanish gangster. ChristopherLee makes him an urbane sophisticate with a taste for murder.
* CoolCar: An AMC Matador [[spoiler: that comes with attachable wings and jet engine!]]
* DeathCourse: Scaramanga keeps a fun house of murder.
* DepravedHomosexual: The literary version is accused of being so. The movie version is a stated (heterosexual) sadist.
* DragonInChief: Hai Fat believes Scaramanga is his [[TheDragon Dragon]]. Scaramanga corrects him most painfully.
* DragonTheirFeet: Nick Nack.
* EvilCounterpart: Scaramanga is Bond without his loyalty to Britain or his (dim) code of chivalry towards women. And unlike Bond, he enjoys killing people, and has no real scruples about who he kills.
* AGlassOfChianti: Movie version only.
* GoGoEnslavement: Mary Goodnight
* IconicCharacters: Scaramanga ranks with Goldfinger and Blofeld as one of the most recognizable of all Bond villains.
* KickTheDog: Scaramanga kills his girlfriend more or less so the audience has a reason to hate him. Even then, she's guilty of plotting to murder him.
* KlingonPromotion: Scaramanga takes over Hai Fat's company this way.
* JustBetweenYouAndMe: JustifiedTrope. Scaramanga's plans for the Solex Agitator have no bearing on whether or not Bond or he survives their upcoming duel.
* NotSoDifferent: Scaramanga genuinely admires Bond's skill as an assassin.
* NoMrBondIExpectYouToDine
* PsychoForHire: Scaramanga does not take lip from anyone. Even employers.
* RedRightHand: Scaramanga has a third nipple.
* WeaponOfChoice: Scaramanga chooses to use a one bullet gun because extra bullets would imply he misses. He keeps an extra one, of course.

''[[Characters/JamesBond James Bond Characters]]'' in the ''JamesBond'' franchise.

* FoeYay: There's implications Scaramanga and she were closer than Bond would have liked to have admitted.

* OfficeLady

* TookALevelInDumbass: A particularly glaring example. In the original novels, she was a capable and intelligent field agent, and ultimately the girl Bond ends up with in the end. Here, she's incredibly stupid and an active liability for Bond whenever she's on-screen. Bond acts annoyed with her, justifiably, for almost the entire film.

!Mary Goodnight [-(Britt Eklund)-]

* TookALevelInDumbass: A particularly glaring example. In the original novels, she was a capable and intelligent field agent, and ultimately the girl Bond ends up with in the end. Here, she's incredibly stupid and an active liability for Bond whenever she's on-screen.

* AdaptationDecay: As stated above, Mary Goodnight is an important--and ''intelligent'' character in the books, but a bumbling fool throughout most of this movie.

* TheDragon

* PersonalMook
