The first teaser trailer for The Man with the Golden Gun showcased extensive footage of a prolonged showdown between 007 (Roger Moore) and villain Francisco Scaramanga (Christopher Lee) on the shore of his island.

We see Bond chasing Scaramanga around the island as the two exchange witty barbs, culminating in 007 throwing a Molotov cocktail-like explosive and shooting it in mid-air, causing it to burst into flames.

The scene was reportedly cut due to pacing issues, and would've led into the film's theatrical funhouse climax set inside Scaramanga's mansion.

Curiously, the Molotov cocktail was apparently a martini shaker gadget given to Bond by Q (Desmond Llewelyn) during another of the film's deleted scenes.
