{2.5/5} “‘I mean, sir, who would pay a million dollars to have me killed?’ ‘Jealous husbands, outraged chefs, humiliated tailors — the list is endless.’” The Man with the Golden Gun, released in 1974 Scaramanga, aka the man with the golden gun, is an independent assassin whose fee has risen to $1 million.
