Although I have to respectfully disagree with Scaramanga’s assertion that the rock he gestures to is shaped like a mushroom (maybe a spoiled one?), I do love the scene in The Man with the Golden Gun where he explains his Solex Agitator-powered weapon to Bond. It’s a classic Bond/villain interaction that takes place at his island lair in Phuket, Thailand. Lee’s Scaramanga remains one of the franchise’s best villains: sophisticated, lethal, and unhinged enough to have a murder amusement park on a private island.
