Now these are fighting words!  I know I'm in the minority on this one, but I LOVE this film.  Is it the best Bond film?  No, not by a long shot, but I've never really understood the snide "TV Movie" accusations.  Aside from Scaramanga's woefully undermanned power station, I don't see any of the so-called cheap production values on screen.  Scaramanga's island fortress, the Macao locations, the casino, the sunken Queen Elizabeth setting...  Well, they all looked great to me and befitting of a glossy James Bond movie.

Ghost! Ghost! Ghost!

The only Tarzan film I can think of that even looks like it had scope, sprawl or spectacle was Greystoke, and that was made after man landed on the moon.
Even MWTGG, not the biggest Bond film, still has an international feel that many of the backlot-shot old Tarzans could never have.

You could have shot a more impressive Tarzan picture on Scaramanga's island alone.
