    Definitely the one I watched most as a kid. Probably then overtaken by Goldfinger.

    Sweet Christ this song is like my ears grew balls and Lulu decided to jump up and down on them.

    Who'd have thought they'd have spotted being followed by a bright red car weaving wildly all over the road.

    One of the greatest stunts of all time and they put a fucking slide whistle over the top of it. Bourne wouldn't stand for that.

    First car stunt designed and calculated by computer. And considering it was 1974 and probably a sinclair zx81 it's a wonder everyone in a 1/4 mile radius wasn't killed.

    I shouldn't really be laughing at Goodnight pointing out Scaramanga's junk, but there you go.
