Given the passing of Sir Christopher Lee this week…

I’m discussing an assassin who – _with the exception of James Bond_ – is second to none: The Man With The Golden Gun. “No one can catch him,” we say, “and no hitman can match him” – but, again, that’s _hyperbole,_ because – well, have you _met_ Bond? He’s the answer to a question no one asked: _what if Bruce Wayne got paid to kill people?_ So when you hear people say “if you want to get rid of someone, the man with the golden gun will get it done,” realize that (a) we don’t really _mean_ it, because (b) Bond _will_ get the drop on the guy and shoot him dead.

Honestly, he’s going to have slightly more trouble with Hervé Villechaize.
