The Legend of the Golden Gun

"The Legend of the Golden Gun" looks to me to be a failed pilot for a television series.

The medium to low production standards support this as well as the flat and wooden dialogue that is readily apparent; the cliched storyline; and last but not least, the lackluster acting.

But, please, don't get me wrong...I admit, the movie had the potential to be something more...unfortunately, the producers, writers and director tried to do so much with so little.

And do get me started with the (now) cheesy late seventies/early eighties soundtrack...ugh!

My two cents for y'all!

On the positive side however, they did manage to get a great supporting cast together...including (in order of utmost importance):

1) Hal Holbrook - the old master

2) R.G. Armstrong - small, but tight performance

3) Keir Dullea - in his most hilarious role yet

4) Robert Davi - as the sinister and foreboding villian, William Quantrill
