From Beijing With Love / int_5ac86e7b	comment	Advanced Tech 2000: An In-Universe example with the "Kill-You-Dead 3000". An Affectionate Parody of James Bond movies, this "gadget" is really a bunch of dangerous items tied together with metal wire - picture a keychain with a knife, grenade, bicycle chain, pistol, etc.

From Beijing With Love / int_5bc36262	comment	Backwards-Firing Gun: Kam tries to use Ling Ling-chat's pistol against him in an assassination attempt, but only manages to hit herself in the shoulder. After he explains that it's a backwards-firing gun, she tries again but hits herself in the other shoulder - since the so-called "Wicked gun" fires backwards then forwards.

From Beijing With Love / int_676e942c	comment	We Hardly Knew Ye: The film opens with the previous agent, 006 (played by Yu Rong-guang) infiltrating a warehouse full of mooks and absolutely demolishing everyone before he's confronted by the main villain — the Man with the Golden Gun — and then fatally shot. Cue the opening credits...

He also has what appears to be a shaver... but it's actually a hairdryer. His hairdryer... is actually a shaver. And his shoe? Another hairdryer.

From Beijing With Love / int_8409a385	comment	Exactly What It Says on the Tin: The Man with the Golden Gun is exactly that - a man with a single shot, gold-plated gun that fires explosive bullets. Unlike the Bond villain though, he also wears an impenetrable suit of armour.

In the finale, he uses this know-how to carve through Yuen's seemingly invincible suit of armour with his trusty butcher's cleaver.

From Beijing With Love / int_c75df49a	type	Shout-Out
From Beijing With Love / int_c75df49a	comment	Shout-Out: A given since the film is an affectionate parody of the James Bond franchise. The film's English title brings to mind From Russia with Love. Man-sai works for what appears to be the Chinese equivalent of Q Branch. With his metal teeth, the male agent from Shenyang is a clear nod to Jaws. Yuen's alter ego — The Man with the Golden Gun — is another Bond film title.

It's actually a false confession that lands him an immediate sentence in front of a firing squad.
