The Solex was inspired by the energy crisis of the 70's.

Scaramanga's base was actually a volcanic rock island called Khow-Ping-Kan in the Phang Nga Bay of Thailand.

Christopher Lee is the cousin of Ian Fleming.

Britt Ekland, real name Eklund, is the ex-wife of Peter Sellers who starred in the spoof of Casino Royale.

Britt Ekland was pregnant during the shooting.

Felix Leiter is a main character in the book version, yet he does not make an appearance in the film version.

The name Scaramanga came from a Greek man Fleming knew named Pandia Scaramanga whom he met on the island of Hydra and in whose island house he stayed in. Fleming actually asked permission to use the name, letting him know that he would be a villain. Mr. Scaramanga, being a superstitious man, replied: "I certainly do not mind your using my name but please do not to kill me."

The scene where Scaramanga and 007 stand back-to-back, with their guns drawn, is a reference to the John Wayne western The Comancheros (1961). The only difference was that Nick Nack counts to 20, instead of 10.

When Bond finds Andrea Anders in the shower, the reflection of a crew member can be seen in the mirror's reflection.

Ian Fleming's The Man with the Golden Gun James Bond 1974

79 Years of Integrity, Quality and Innovation

Colibri takes the lighter to the next level in great design and variety, without compromising fine, functional craftsmanship. In 1928, Colibri introduced the world’s first automatic lighter. It was an immediate success and the first of a host of innovative products that would secure Colibri’s position as the leader in lighter technology. Eighty years on, Colibri continues to lead the way with beam sensor, cigar, sport and multi-function lighters, along with a wide selection of impeccably styled and detailed smoking accessories.

The Golden Gun from the film
“The Man With The Golden Gun”.

In 1974, the famous ‘Golden Gun’ in the James Bond classic The Man With The Golden Gun starring Roger Moore was made by Colibri.

In Fleming’s novel, the golden gun is a gold-plated .45 calibre revolver; however, for the film, it was a single-shot weapon that fires a custom made 4.2-millimeter golden bullet. The instant kill technology relies on the bullet shattering akin to a fragmentation grenade. Scaramanga uses such a weapon to emphasize his peerless skill as a pistol marksman and the fact that he only ever needs one bullet to kill a target. The gun also separates into a gold cigarette lighter, a gold cigarette case, a gold cuff link, and a gold pen so as to avoid detection.

Every Colibri product is individually inspected to ensure it conforms to a rigid quality control standard and each product is back by a worldwide one-year repair service warranty.
