Ok so if you made the golden gun COMPLETELY like the one out of james bond it will then be copyright BUT if they tweak it to be, say a revolver or G18 it would no longer be a copyright issue, due to the fact that you vannot trademark the words golden or gun, if you were to mention the james bond franchise withing the game, there would also be numerous fines because of copyright infringement. Along with Elysium, MIB and ghostbusters, they had to seek permission from- 1. The company who made it. 2. The producer director and any other main staff who contributed to the making/ directing of the movie and 3. The person who actually came up with the idea. (If the person who came up with the idea is deceased, the permission goes to his closest relative or possibly lawyer) so in conclusion if Digital Legends were to ads in a golden gun with no strings attatched and no references of any kind, it would be allowed
