Journalist Tom Wolfe labeled the 1970s the "Me" Decade. It was a time when the importance of community and social and political justice was shifting towards a more selfish focus on individual well-being. As a reflection of this, the predominant James Bond of the 70s, played by Sir Roger Moore KBE, was portrayed as somewhat of a playboy, exaggerated by plot lines laden with sexual innuendo and over-the-top action sequences.
While The Man with the Golden Gun has an intense ending, much of the rest of the movie borders on the ridiculous. Everything about Scaramanga, from his third nipple, to his dwarf assistant to his fun house hideout, makes it impossible for any audience to take his role as a criminal mastermind seriously.
While the overly complicated plot of Diamonds Are Forever might be a turn-off for some viewers, others will revel in the constant twists and turns. Connery was reportedly paid $1.25 million to return as Bond and this high fee meant cutting back on special effects. As impressive as the bright lights of Vegas may be, they aren't really a match for the spectacular Bond stunts in exotic locales fans have come to expect.
