The Legend of the Golden Gun (1979)
Hurray--others have seen this movie, too!
I saw this movie as a kid and loved it. I, too, have asked several friends and movie rental store managers (I thought it was called "The Man with the Golden Gun") and they all thought I was talking about the 007 movie. I'll buy or rent this movie in a heartbeat; It is definitely worth having on the family collection shelf.
Like this movie, there are two other TV movies I saw portions of as a kid that friends give me blank looks over when I describe them. I'd love to know their titles so I can track these movies down. They might be episodes from a Sci Fi TV series. The first one is about a pilot about to crash his jet in the desert, and a lady driving her convertible nearby who get trapped in a time freeze. Both his jet and her car are in a state of suspended momentum. The couple seem to be the only living creatures unaffected, and they join together venturing to a nearby complex to find out what's going on.
The other TV story is about a father and his teenage kids who were exploring the depths of a mine when something out in the world happened. They walk into a small town gas station to get some gasoline and find no one around--it's as if the town people had instantly disappeared and everything is abandoned. The gas pump doesn't work, so the dad siphons gas from a vehicle beside one of the pumps. Afterward, he lifts his head and is met with a woman's staring face pressed against the vehicle window. It was then that my dad said I had to go to bed.
Does anyone know about either story I'm talking about?
