The female baddy in GoldenEye. Played by Famke Janssen, later to play Jean Grey from X-Men.


I loved her killer move. I wish I could do that.

I love Bond films. My dad took me to see Live and Let Die when I was a kid. Going to the movies was one of the few things we did together. The guy with the snakes gave me nightmares for weeks.

I guess Golden Eye is best. The traitor agent fed up with "King and country" is a good foil. Robbie Coltrane is a blast and I dig Famke Janssen. Tomorrow Never Dies is good. Michelle Yeoh is great. (Crouching Tiger is my favorite, although she's been in the only Jackie Chan flick I like.) First, there is the silly scene of taking down a helicopter with a clothesline (?) then the scene after it. Bond goes to take charge with "I'll send a message!" only to see the Chinese characters on the keyboard. Classic.

Yes. The very same one who tried to kill Pierce Brosnan by squashing him between her thighs.

And adding 'bbq' is not a coherent end to many sentences. :)

Die Another Day is, as I have mentioned earlier, a story which takes plot elements from the original novel of Moonraker. To wit:

A soldier of high rank in a foreign country disappears in enemy action, only to change his appearance and take on another's identity, that of a wealthy industrialist who corners the market in a precious substance, which he uses to create a space-based device used for the benefit of mankind. However, said device has a far altogether more deadly purpose, which the villain intends to use against his home country's enemies. Bond uses the weapon against his adversary to kill him and rid the world of the threat.

Perhaps the most telling point is that Miranda Frost was originally to be called Gala Brand, the heroine of Moonraker (and the only Bond girl to resist Bond, especially considering she is engaged).

OK, I will let this run overnight (my time, so for the next 10 hours or so from this post) and then lock the threads. A final thread will be posted with a final poll.

It is also noted for one of the few scenes in the series where Bond unambiguously kills a female villainous character (with the deaths of Fiona Volpe from Thunderball and Naomi from The Spy Who Loved Me in doubt,


Naomi's death is in doubt or the fact that Bond was responsible ?? I haven't seen the film for a couple of years but I think there's much ambiguity in that scene.

The fact that Bond was responsible.

Locking now.
