The villain: Francisco Scaramanga, one of the world's top assassins who charges one million dollars a kill and known as "the man with the golden gun". Scaramanga was born in a circus. His father was the ringmaster (probably Cuban) and his mother was an English snake charmer. He became a spectacular trickshot artist by the age of 10. At this time his best friend was a bull elephant which went beserk after being mis-treated by its handler, causing Scaramanga to kill it. This made him realise that he liked killing and he had become a local Rio gunman by the age of 15. He was recruited by the KGB in Europe and trained as an assassin. He left to become independent in the 50s. Prior to the film, his appearance and location are unknown by the Secret Service, although the CIA have his fingerprints on file. However, it is known that Scaramanga has three nipples.
Not alone said...but shown...at least on Roger Moore's chest when he impersonates Scaramanga at Hi Fat's (sp?) mansion just after he's met Chew Me taking a swim.
The thing looks ridiculous as I'm sure it's meant to be. Think a barnacle stuck on the underside of a boat!

I'm trying to find you a picture....meanwhile, here's a funny cutting:
{QUOTE}
the only triple nipples I've ever seen were on a man. Precisely: Christopher Lee in The Man With The Golden Gun. That was the hit man Scaramanga's identifiable mark. Got that? The villain had three t!ts. Good God. If 1974 was a Great Year in Cinema (think Godfather, Part II and The Conversation) this movie was the nadir of the Bond franchise.
How did Lee get talked into this shit? More importantly, how did Roger Moore get talked into wearing a FAKE third t!t to pass as Scaramanga? I don't think I watched a Bond flick after that until Timothy Dalton took over. Who wrote this shit? Well, I never read the Fleming book, but I don't think Ian was sitting on the veranda at Goldeneye in Jamaica thinking triple nipple. Richard Maibaum wrote the screenplay. He wrote ALL the Bond screenplays. Actually, he wrote from 1936 to 1991, the year he died. Ransom was based on his story.
Three titted hitmen, indeed. I could do better than THAT.
