When the film started, the scenes with James Bond appeared were all done by the stand-in Mike LaWitt, and Roger Moore did not join the shooting team until April 1974. Screenwriter Tom Mankinwicz claimed that he had lost his inspiration and decided to quit, and the producer let Richard Mabe back into battle. Ian Lancaster Fleming's cousin and ball mate Christopher Lee won the role of "Man with the Golden Gun" Scamanga.

At the end of April, the crew moved to Hong Kong, and the filming took place in the luxurious Longyuan Manor. In addition to gambling recreational activities, Roger Moore has to deal with a lot of action scenes. At the end of May, the crew began to film the ship chasing on the canals in Bangkok, Thailand.
