Tracy Bond (Diana Rigg) | James Bond Wiki | Fandom powered by Wikia Tracy Bond (Diana Rigg) Deceased, shot by Irma Bunt Behind the scenes 007 Legends Tracy Bond (née Teresa Draco) was a fictional character in the 1969 James Bond film On Her Majesty's Secret Service , portrayed by English actress Diana Rigg . The character first appeared in Ian Fleming 's 1963 novel of the same name and is notable for being the only cinematic Bond girl to officially marry the series' titular character . Contents Film biography On Her Majesty's Secret Service Born Teresa Draco in 1943, she is the only child of Marc-Ange Draco , the head of the Union Corse , a powerful Corsican crime syndicate – not quite as large as SPECTRE , but with substantially larger "legal" operations, including Draco Construction . Teresa goes by "Tracy" because she feels "Teresa" does not suit her (as she introduced herself to Bond, "Teresa is a saint; I'm known as Tracy"). Tracy's mother died in 1955; her father then sent her to a boarding school in Switzerland .

Deprived of a stable home life, Tracy joined the "international fast set", committing "one scandal after another"; when Draco cut off her allowance, Tracy committed "a greater folly" out of spite. She later married Italian Count Giulio di Vicenzo who, during their marriage, got hold of a large portion of her money before eventually leaving her; he subsequently died while driving a Maserati. During this marriage, Tracy had a child, who later died. Desperate with grief for her child, Tracy attempted suicide by walking into the sea in Portugal , only to be dragged back out by James Bond . When her father meets Bond, he pleads with Bond to continue to see her, claiming that their relationship had changed her for the better. Draco wanted a husband for her that would "dominate" her and quell her rebellious attitude. Bond initially refuses, but he changes his mind when Draco offers his resources for anything Bond desires. Using Draco's resources, Bond is able to track SPECTRE leader Ernst Stavro Blofeld to the Swiss Alps. In return, Bond continues to see Tracy and eventually falls in love with her.

While hiding from Blofeld's men at the village of Lauterbrunnen, Bond finds Tracy and they escape from Irma Bunt and her men. A blizzard forces them to a remote barn, where Bond professes his love to Tracy and proposes marriage to her, which she accepts. The next morning, Blofeld attempts to kill Bond by causing an avalanche and captures Tracy. Refused aid from M , Bond then enlists Draco and his forces to attack Blofeld's headquarters, while also rescuing Tracy from Blofeld's captivity. Tragedy later strikes on their wedding day, however, when Blofeld drives past and Bunt shoots at Bond and Tracy in a drive-by shooting. Tracy is shot through the head and killed. A police officer finds Bond's car, prompting a tearful Bond to mutter that there is no need to rush calling for help by saying, "We have all the time in the world", as he cradles Tracy's lifeless body. Tracy is killed in the drive-by shooting. Film mentions The follow up film, Diamonds Are Forever , shows James Bond tracking down Blofeld in the pre-title credits, but it is only assumed that Bond is doing so out of revenge for Tracy's death.

However, she is never mentioned by name in the film. Subsequent films also rarely mention Tracy or make reference to the fact that Bond was previously married. In The Spy Who Loved Me , when Bond meets Anya Amasova in the Mujava bar, she recites facts of his life, including his many relationships. She comments that he had been "...married only once. Wife was..." at which point Bond's eyes glaze over for a moment, and he sharply tells her that she's made her point; Anya comments upon Bond's unexpected sensitivity, and he confirms he is sensitive "about certain things." In For Your Eyes Only , Bond stands at her grave before boarding a helicopter which Blofeld has booby-trapped. It's actually in this sequence where Bond ultimately gets revenge for her murder, by impaling an uncredited Blofeld's wheelchair on one of the helicopter's skids and eventually dropping him (wheelchair and all) down a tall industrial smokestack. In Licence to Kill , after Felix Leiter 's new wife, Della , throws her garter to him and teases him that he's going to be married next, Bond looks pained and leaves.

Concerned, Della asks if she said something wrong, and Leiter makes a short, sad reference to the fact that Bond was married "a long time ago". Nothing else is said of the matter, but producers have stated that Bond's brutal hunt of drug dealer Franz Sanchez to avenge Felix's maiming and Della's death is motivated primarily by his own memories of his tragically short marriage. In GoldenEye , Alec Trevelyan asks Bond if he has "found forgiveness in the arms of all those willing women for the dead ones you failed to protect?" Although the statement could refer to several women in Bond's past (including Tilly Masterson , Aki , Corinne Dufour or Andrea Anders ), Tracy is obviously the most prominent woman he has "failed to protect." In The World Is Not Enough , Elektra King (whose father, Robert , had been killed in the pre-credit sequence) asks Bond whether he has ever lost anyone 'that he truly loved'. Bond appears uncomfortable and does not answer the question, continuing with a different line of conversation.

In Quantum of Solace , Dominic Greene exclaims to Bond "sounds like you just lost another one!" after a gunshot rang from a hotel room at Perla de las Dunas , where Camille Montes and General Medrano were fighting. Like in GoldenEye , the statement could refer to several women Bond has courted - and in the Craig Bond series would predominantly be referring to Vesper Lynd - though Tracy is again the most prominent woman that he has "lost". Gallery 9 Greatest Bond Villains of All Time 9 Greatest Bond Villains of All Time We expect you to die! by Conner Schwerdtfeger The old adage says a hero is only as good as his villains; with that in mind, James Bond has more than earned his title as one of the greatest onscreen heroes of all time. Over the last five decades, 007 has encountered myriad villains that have challenged him not only physically, but mentally and emotionally as well. With Spectre – the villainous organization, and dark analog to Bond’s own MI6 – set to return in the upcoming film of the same name, let’s take a look back at some of the best rogue’s our favorite British secret agent has encountered over the years.

#9: Raul Silva – Skyfall A Bond villain for the digital age; Raul Silva – played by Oscar winner Javier Bardem – technically is more of M’s enemy than Bond’s. Playing off of themes of loyalty, Skyfallexamines the relationship of two men with vastly different perceptions of the same maternal figure. On one hand, Silva feels betrayed due to M’s abandonment of him while on assignment while Bond can learn to forgive her and focus on the job at hand. Silva takes a page from Heath Ledgers Joker – a gleeful mastermind who seems to always come out ten steps ahead of our heroes – but ultimately feels more human once we see the betrayal and anger he feels at those he once called his allies. #8: Auric Goldfinger - Goldfinger All Auric Goldfinger wanted to do was make his fortune more valuable by irradiating the entire supply of gold stockpiled at Fort Knox. As outlandish and inconceivable as his plan was, he also remains one of the more stylish and ruthless villains Bond has ever faced. Goldfinger proved that Bond movies did not need to be set against the backdrop of the Cold War to entertain.

Goldfinger was simply a criminal mastermind -- a man who loves gold so much he used it to kill the beautiful yet ill-fated Jill Masterson. Perhaps his most notable contribution to the Bond mythos comes from him uttering the iconic line, “no Mr. Bond I expect you to die.” #7: Rosa Klebb – From Russia With Love While Bond has encountered numerous femme fatales over his decades of service, most have been sexpots and few have ever existed as the true villain of the story. Rosa Klebb made her mark as a villainess by proving herself just as ruthless as any male villain in Bond’s considerable rogues gallery. Bond’s sophomore outing in From Russia With Love proved that enormous danger could come in small packages. The blade hidden in her shoe instantly became an instant icon, and would even be referenced forty years later in the Pierce Brosnan outing Die Another Day. #6: Le Chiffre – Casino Royale He cries blood; need we say more? Although not particularly physically imposing – and not even ultimately taken out by Bond himself – Le Chiffre perfectly encapsulated the direction of Daniel Craig’s rebooted Bond.

Grounded in a more realistic world, Le Chiffre represented the first Bond villain who could truly inhabit a post 9/11 world: a banker who could finance terror groups all over the world. He didn’t need a giant laser, or a nuclear weapon; he could destabilize the world with some money and a few willing mercenaries. It’s no wonder Madds Mikkelsen would go on to play Hannibal Lecter; Le Chiffre has a dignified charisma that hides a hidden vicious side – men around the world will forever cringe at his torture methods. #5: Jaws – The Spy Who Loved Me The name says it all. A mute mercenary known throughout the criminal underworld, Jaws first appeared in The Spy Who Loved Me, and easily stood out as the highlight of the film – impressive, considering its arguably Roger Moore’s best outing. Fans remember him for his steel teeth, and his ability to survive almost anything he encounters. This provided the filmmakers with a chance to show Bond at his scrappiest, and most inventive, as sheer brute force could never subdue Jaws.

His later appearance in Moonraker diluted the character into something of a punchline, but his first appearance will always mark one of the scariest villains Bond has ever encountered. #4: Dr. No – Dr. No The one who started it all. The Bond formula had not fully worked itself out in 1962 whenDr. No hit the silver screen, but one element that seemed to almost immediately his its stride came in the form of the film’s antagonist: Dr. Julius No. Possessing a cold, analytical demeanor, No existed as perfectly antithetical to the larger than life, hero. Many traits associated with No would go on to become staples of the genre: physical deformity, Nehru jackets, exotic hideout, and even association with Spectre. #3: Oddjob – Goldfinger While Auric Goldfinger definitely deserves his place on this list, his associate Oddjob most certainly made the more memorable impression. Bond villains have almost always come in pairs – for every evil mastermind, there’s an obedient, sadistic henchman. We can all remember the first time we heard the “whoosh” sound as his razor brimmed hat decapitated a statue.

While the series established this trope before Goldfinger, Oddjob represents the first henchman to possess the unbeatable, almost superhuman qualities that would go ! on to be ! the norm for the franchise. Without Oddjob, we likely never would have seen evil sidekicks like Xenia Onatopp, or even Jaws. #2: Alec Trevelyan - Goldeneye The dark mirror. While many villains have challenged Bond over the years, none have had as personal a connection to the Character as Alec Trevelyan – A.K.A 006. Supposedly killed on assignment years ago, Goldeneye heavily implies that the weight of Trevelyan’s death serves as one of the many causes of Bond’s self-destructive tendencies. A physical and mental match in equal measures, 006 can go toe-to-toe with Bond in almost any arena – he can even recognize a potential sabotage in the form of Bond’s watch. Perhaps his greatest strength comes from the fact that he can make Bond do something we seldom see: hesitate.

#1: Ernst Stavro Blofeld – You Only Live Twice (among others) We couldn’t have picked anyone else, as the head of Spectre, Blofeld almost single-handedly established the archetype of genius evil mastermind. Bond’s most recurring nemesis, Blofeld also holds the distinction of murdering Bond’s wife Tracy on their wedding day. Although played by many actors over the course of the Bond films, from Telly Savalas to Charles Gray to (potentially) Christoph Waltz, Donald Pleasance will always own character after his iconic portrayal in You Only Live Twice. Many attributes of the character seem cliché by todays standard – the facial scar, the white cat, the volcano lair all conjure images of Dr. Evil – but that only speaks to the legacy established by this iconic, terrifying villain. Ernst Stavro Blofeld | Villains Wiki | Fandom powered by Wikia Failure-Intolerant Villain “ James Bond. Allow me to introduce myself. I am Ernst Stavro Blofeld. They told me you were assassinated in Hong Kong. „ ~ Blofeld to James Bond in You Only Live Twice.

Ernst Stavro Blofeld is the most iconic, active, perpetual, and influential villain and the primary antagonist in the James Bond series. He is an evil and knowledgeable criminal mastermind and the archenemy of James Bond. Ernst Stavro Blofeld is the founder and head of the global terrorist organization SPECTRE with aspirations of world domination. He makes anonymous, cameo appearances in From Russia with Love and Thunderball, before appearing as the main antagonist in You Live Only Twice, On Her Majesty's Secret Service, and Diamonds Are Forever. He is recognizable for frequently petting his white Persian cat. He also appears in the rebooted series, acting as the main antagonist in Spectre with his organization as the titular supporting antagonists. He was portrayed by the late Donald Pleasence in You Only Live Twice, Telly Savalas in On Her Majesty's Secret Service, Charles Gray in Diamonds are Forever, Max van Sydow in Never Say Never Again and Christoph Waltz in Spectre. Contents Character History in Film Lektor Blofeld makes his first, anonymous appearance in From Russia with Love, on board his private yacht. His face remains unseen, but his hands and his signature white cat remain visible.

There he meets with Rosa Klebb , SPECTRE agent number three, and as well as Number Five, the chess master Kronsteen . He had developed a plan to play the Soviet Union off against the west via the theft of the new Lektor decoding device, which was being kept at the Russian embassy in Constantinople. The plan required an embassy worker to contact one of the western powers with a plan to steal the device. Klebb, who had until recently been a high ranking member of the Soviet agency SMERSH, was given the task of choosing the Russian, who would believe they were in fact working for SMERSH. The plan was given a second purpose, revenge on James Bond for killing SPECTRE agent Dr. No . The Russian dupe, Tatiana Romanova, was ordered by Klebb to contact the British secret service and act as if she had fallen in love with Bond from afar, offering to help him steal the Lektor. The plan was to be carried out, and the duo were shadowed by Red Grant , a SPECTRE assassin also selected by Klebb. However, the plan failed and Bond managed to kill Grant and make off with the Lektor.

Blofeld then again called Kronsteen and Klebb before him, where the two respectively blamed the other one for the failure of the operation. Eventually, Blofeld had Kronsteen killed for failing to consider Bond's capabilities. Morzeny , one of Blofeld's henchmen, stabbed Kronsteen with a blade tipped in poison. While Kronsteen died, Blofeld only watched, commenting that one day SPECTRE would have to create a faster working venom. Blofeld then orders Klebb to personally kill Bond, though this too end up in failure as Klebb ends up being killed by Tatiana. Largo and Nassau Blofeld makes his second anonymous appearance in Thunderball. He is seen in SPECTRE's Paris's lair, where he watches as Number Two, Emilio Largo , unveils his personal plan. It involved using plastic surgery, murder, and deceit to hijack a Vulcan bomber carrying two nuclear warheads and conceal the plane underwater near Largo's estate in Nassau, the Bahamas. SPECTRE would then threaten to detonate warheads over a major US city if they weren't paid millions of dollars.

However, then plan fell apart when Bond and an army of frogmen stopped Largo from launching the warheads and when Largo was killed by his mistress. Japan Blofeld makes his next appearance as the main antagonist of You Only Live Twice. Apparently at his wits' end over the failed plots and deaths of Dr. No, Klebb, and Largo, Blofeld decided to operate his next plot personally. He set up his base in the crater of an extinct volcano on an island in Japan. He used this base to launch a rocket ship which had the ability to capture space capsules. Blofeld's intention was to capture both United States and Soviet capsules, getting the superpowers to blame each other. This was supposed to touch off a nuclear war, and in the ensuing chaos, both the U.S. and Soviet Union would fall, leaving SPECTRE to take control of the world. Bond, having faked his death, was sent to investigate. Bond meets Blofeld face to face Bond managed to infiltrate the volcano lair and tried to get on board the rocket, but a minute error caught Blofeld's attention, and he ordered Bond to be brought to him, instead sending a spare pilot into space.

At this point, Blofeld reveals his face, name and plans to Bond, whom he intends to kill after he captures one more space capsule. However, Blofeld orders his henchman Hans to detonate the spaceship, to leave the US and the Soviets no chance but to go to war. When Bond asked Blofeld whether he could smoke a last cigarette Blofeld granted the agent the wish, stating that Bond would surely not die from smoking. However, the cigarette hid a small explosive missile, which Bond aimed at one of his captors. He wrestled free from the other men holding him and managed to open the gate of the volcano base. Though Bond was immediately recaptured, the opening of the gate allowed the head of the Japanese secret service, Tiger Tanaka, and a special unit of ninjas, to infiltrate the base and to attack SPECTRE. Initially believing to be safe from the attackers, Blofeld soon realises that he needs to escape. He leaves the control room of the base with Osato and Bond, holding the latter at gunpoint. Blofeld opens a secret door, but shoots Osato, claiming that this would be how SPECTRE rewards failure.

Taking Bond with him, Blofeld arrives at the railway station he plans to escape with. There, he intends to shoot Bond but Tanaka throws a throwing star from below, causing Blofeld to drop his gun. However, he quickly steps back into the railway cart which drives off, separating Bond from Blofeld. Arriving at an isolated part of the base, Blofeld activates the base's self destruct system before fleeing. Although Blofeld escaped, Bond managed to destroy the rocket remotely before it could capture more astronauts. Piz Gloria Blofeld would return as the main antagonist in On Her Majesty's Secret Service, where he had relocated himself to the treacherous Swiss Alps. Receiving plastic surgery as he had in the past to disguise his identity, he sought to have his noble heritage confirmed, so that he would become recognized as a Baron. He had opened a research clinic known as 'Piz Gloria', which dealt with all menagerie of allergies and illnesses, his business partner, the cold Irma Bunt standing by his side.

An elegant thug, this incarnation of Blofeld invited the interests of his sworn nemesis, James Bond, who discovered that he was seeking to confirm his aristocracy, and so went undercover as the Herald, Sir Hillary Bray, dispatched to spend time with the villain and to determine the authenticity of his claims for greatness. He learned that all of his patients were beautiful women, and fraternizing with a few, Bond discovered they were receiving psychedelic hypnosis as a cure, brainwashing them into believing they were better, besides more obvious physical remedies. Swiftly discovered, Agent 007 found that these were Blofeld's 'Angels of Death', and that he was plotting to use them as plague carriers of a new germ agent he had been perfecting, 'Virus Omega', able to disintegrate all livestock and cereals, a threat he would tempt to bully and blackmail an unsuspecting globe. Giving them parting gifts in the form of make-up kits, these actually contained equipment that would allow him to communicate with the Angels of Death once they had returned to their homes all over the world, telling them how and when they would deploy his secret weapon which had also been concealed in the presents, but only if his demands weren't met.

Blofeld used his hypnosis to ensure they would follow his instructions exactly. The world was petrified by the megalomaniac's plot, but Bond refused to let him win and stormed his base with the help of his captured fiancée's father, a rival of Blofeld's, disguising themselves as a mercy flight for the Red Cross, their helicopters stormed Piz Gloria, and were able to destroy it, while Bond and Blofeld had a bobsled chase, ending with Ernst getting his neck clipped on a tree. After Bond's wedding, a crippled Blofeld would have his revenge, he and Bunt organizing a drive-by shooting that stole Bond's wife, immortalizing their hatred of one another. Nevada/Canberra Blofeld appears again as the main antagonist in Diamonds Are Forever , James Bond searched for Blofeld and found a facility where he was using plastic surgery to create duplicates of himself. Bond pushed one lookalike, whom he thought was the real Blofeld, into super-heated mud, killing him. Blofeld posed as a billionaire, Willard Whyte, seeking out diamonds to power his laser satellite. His henchmen, Mr. Wint and Mr.

Kidd , systematically killed diamond smugglers and stole their diamonds for Blofeld. When Bond entered the Whyte House to confront Whyte, he came face to face with Blofeld and a lookalike. This was the only other Blofeld double, since after the death of the first there were no more volunteers. Bond kicked Blofeld's white cat which one of the Blofelds caught, and Bond, thinking him to be the real Blofeld, shot him. However, both he and the cat turned out to be clones. Blofeld knocked Bond out, and Wint and Kidd placed him in a pipeline to die. He escaped and posed as his henchman, Bert Saxby , and called Blofeld, finding out the real Whyte's location, but Blofeld kidnapped diamond smuggler Tiffany Case, who switched sides when she found out Blofeld was trying to kill her (and who Bond fell in love with). With his laser satellite powered by diamonds, Blofeld destroyed nuclear weapons in the United States, China, and the Soviet Union, and proposed an international auction for global nuclear supremacy. However, Bond, Felix Leiter, and the CIA found Blofeld's base of operations, an oil rig, and attacked it.

Blofeld attempted to escape in a submarine, but Bond took control of it and set it to repeatedly crash into the control room, destroying the base and satellite control. With Blofeld having seemingly perished in the base's destruction, SPECTRE was finally dismantled for good. Death During the opening credits of For Your Eyes Only, a bald man with a white cat is seen wheelchair-bound, wanting revenge against Bond for destroying and shutting down all his major operations and dismantling SPECTRE, determining to finish him off by himself this time. When a helicopter was giving Bond a ride, piloted by one of his men, the bald man electrocuted the pilot and controlled the helicopter with a console attached to his wheelchair. After toying with Bond, the bald man tried to crash the helicopter, but Bond regained control of the helicopter, picked up the bald man with the helicopter's landing skid while his cat ran off in fear. Bond then proceeds to drop the bald man down an industrial chimney, presumably killing him. It is assumed that this bald man is Blofeld, having become wheelchair-bound following the injuries he sustained in Diamonds Are Forever and still possessing his white cat.

However, it isn't clear whether or not this actually is him despite the clues that would suggest so, and simply adds more mystery to the real Blofeld's ultimate fate. For Your Eyes Only features a different antagonist in the main plot, and the bald man is not credited or identified by name due to the legal disputes over the Thunderball film. Never Say Never Again Max von Sydow as Blofeld in Never Say Never Again, a non-canonical remake of Thunderball. In the non-Eon remake of Thunderball, entitled Never Say Never Again, Blofeld serves as the Bigger Bad/tertiary antagonist and is portrayed by Max von Sydow. Here, Blofeld is tall, thin, and bearded, with a European accent more in keeping with the character as presented in From Russia With Love and Thunderball. In the film, Blofeld once serves as the head of SPECTRE, and has had one of his agents, Jack Petachi, undergo an operation on his right eye to make it match the retinal pattern of the US President, which he uses to circumvent iris recognition security at an American military base in England.

While doing so, he has his lieutenant Maximillian Largo replace the dummy warheads in two cruise missiles with live nuclear warheads; SPECTRE then try to use the warheads to extort billions of dollars from NATO governments. However, Bond manages to foil the plot, and Largo is killed. SPECTRE's and Blofeld's fates after that remain unknown. Reboot Series Trivia All Blofeld's interpretations through years. Blofeld inspired many villains, most notably Dr. Evil in Austin Powers. Dr. Evil bears a strong resemblance to Blofeld as portrayed by the late Donald Pleasence in You Only Live Twice, and has a cat named Mr. Bigglesworth (who later loses all his hair). Other villains inspired by him include Dr. Claw (whose face is not seen in his first scene and has a white cat), and Giovanni (mainly his Anime appearance, whose face is also not seen until near the end of Season 1, his Persian acting as a counterpart to Blofeld's cat).

In the Alex Rider series the villain Julia Rothman comments that if real life was as black and white as films, she would be sitting in a chair with a white cat and a scar down her cheek, referencing Blofeld. Blofeld is different in the novels, he is portrayed as a master of ninja combat, and he has a castle in Japan. As in the films, he kills Tracy, but Bond actually manages to avenge his wife by actually killing Blofeld by strangling him. Author Ian Fleming reportedly took the name from a casino member, and thought the name alone sounded evil. Producer Harry Sullivan initially cast Czech actor Jan Werich as Blofeld in You Only Live Twice, though producer Albert R. Broccoli and director Lewis Sullivan considered him a poor choice, calling him a "poor, benevolent Santa Claus". He was subsequently replaced by Donald Pleasence, though some of Wercihs scenes were still used in the film (scenes where Blofeld is shown with a full head of hair before his face is revealed). Blofeld has many different appearances and voices due to being portrayed by different actors. Although his face is not seen in From Russia with Love, he is depicted with slick dark hair.

His head is never seen in Thunderball, and he is bald with a scar on his face in You Only Live Twice, with a higher voice. His voice becomes deeper again in On Her Majesty's Secret Service, talking a different way, and he loses his scar. He has white hair in Diamonds are Forever. His face is never seen in For Your Eyes Only, but his appearance and voice are similar to You Only Live Twice. Due to his record number of appearances as a villain within the Bond series (seven in the mainstream series, eight if you include Never Say Never Again), the murder of Bond's wife and their unparalleled level of personal rivalry, Blofeld is widely accepted by fans as 007's archenemy. 007 Villains Main Villains 007: Ranking the 24 James Bond Villains From Best to Worst | Den of Geek Search 007: Ranking the 24 James Bond Villains From Best to Worst From Dr. No to Spectre, we rank the main villains (and their very best henchmen) from all 24 James Bond movies. 15.

Franz Sanchez (Robert Davi) License to Kill (1989) Franz Sanchez just might be the one villain to do more personal damage to James than any other character not named Blofeld or Silva. After all, Sanchez is the one who crippled Felix Leiter in a legitimately disturbing scene after he fed only the lower half of Felix’s legs to a Great White Shark. He also killed Felix’s wife on their wedding night (another personal friend of Bond’s). Yep, this was the late 1980s, and in the wake of Lethal Weapon and Miami Vice, Timothy Dalton’s 007 was going gritty and going Miami. In this film, Sanchez is just a drug dealer and nothing more. While certainly broad and cartoonish enough to remain a Bond villain (he makes a guy’s head explode in a decompression chamber for M’s sakes!), his motive is simply to move more cocaine out of his fictional Caribbean retreat. Bond gets close to this bad guy, and maybe too close, before exacting a terrible revenge. But Davi underplays Sanchez as appropriately slimy and matter-of-fact.

In spite of a nasty temper—such as when he has his girlfriend’s other boy toy literally lose his heart for her—he is always clear-eyed and straightforward about his business. A young Benicio Del Toro also makes for an intriguing underling named Dario here. But he never gets to do enough to actually matter. 14. Hugo Drax and Jaws (Michael Lonsdale and Richard Kiel) Moonraker (1979) Ah, James Bond at the height of his epic silliness. Moonraker is a hate it or love-to-hate-its-ridiculousness kind of movie. James Bond goes to space. He gets shagged in space. He even teams up with Jaws to have a cheap Star Wars knock-off laser fight with Hugo Drax’s army of school bus-colored stormtroopers…. in space! So, why would I even consider ranking this so high? Well, a secret to many of the Roger Moore Bond movies is that even the bad ones—which this unquestionably resides among—had good villains (you’ll see what I mean further down on the list). And Hugo Drax as the preening God-wannabe in Moonraker is quite entertaining, indeed.

Unlike Curd Jurgens in The Spy Who Loved Me—who Moonraker’s Drax is a carbon copy of, save with a fetish for space instead of living underwater—Michael Lonsdale is visibly having a blast chewing the scenery and using starlight as his after dinner mint. He snarls, threatens, and orders various forms of murder without ever once raising his voice from a monotone drone of well-bred, upper-class superiority. He wants to be a God, because it’s his birthright, goddammit! Midway through the picture, Drax bemoans, “Mr. Bond, you persist in defying my efforts to provide an amusing death for you.” And honestly, we feel his pain, because each attempt is so thoroughly more absurd that they become a joy to behold—knife wielding assassins hiding in coffins on Venetian gondolas; giant man-eating snakes hidden beneath waterfalls; and trapped underneath a pristine control room that is rather bizarrely meant to be barbecued upon rocket lift-off. Honestly, Richard Kiel returning as Jaws is the bigger issue.

As the highlight of villainy in The Spy Who Loved Me (we’ll get there), he is reprised in Moonraker but is also transformed from fiend to Wile E. Coyote. He survives skydiving without a parachute, going over a waterfall, and riding a disintegrating space station all the way into the Pacific. But he teams up with Bond at the end in the name of wordless love. So it almost makes this whole damn movie worth it. Almost. 13. Ernst Stavro Blofeld (Cristoph Waltz) Spectre (2015) By his own admission, the newly rebooted Blofeld is the author of all of 21st century James Bond’s pain. And we believe him. We just wish he scribbled a little more in the margins too. Truth be told, Cristoph Waltz is the pitch perfect choice to play Blofeld. In fact, he is so perfect that some have complained it’s too much of what fans expect. However, in serendipitous moments like this, you don’t complain that Samuel L. Jackson is too obvious for Nick Fury either.

Waltz is calm, cold, and quietly hammy in his understated glee as the man revealed as responsible for all of James’ woes since Casino Royale, and the death of his beloved Vesper. Thus audiences should hate him too, because the franchise has never been able to recover from the loss of Eva Green. Their penultimate exchange when Bond sees the scar he has left on Blofeld’s face while his nemesis gloats about his current advantage? It’s exactly how to play their chilling rapport in a post-Dr. Evil world. Alas though, it was only Waltz’s fourth scene. And I suspect none of them lasted longer than five minutes. More than any other flaw in Spectre, the underuse of Waltz/Blofeld is criminal and kneecaps both the film and the villain. There are also plenty of fair complaints about it being revealed that this version of Blofeld and Bond knew each other as children, and that Blofeld’s jealousy of Bond contributed to his sociopathic and egomaniacal tendencies. While wholly unnecessary and vaguely reminiscent of the third Austin Powers film, it doesn’t truly hurt the 24th Bond movie, per se.

I’d even argue it helps Daniel Craig, whose Bond always works best when it is personal. It’s when he’s supposed to be making puns and aimlessly seducing women that Craig’s portrayal feels a little awkward and out of its comfort zone. However, the fact that in a 148-minute film, the villain is only onscreen for 15 minutes or less? That is the real problem. So, is the fact that Blofeld’s endgame for criminal malfeasance is never revealed. Surely, he could gloat about that too between all the brags about ruining James’ life? Waltz is honestly quite perfect as Blofeld and when he is onscreen, twisting the knife, he is terrific. It’s just such a shame that poor scripting choices relegates him from the top 10 when he should have been in the top five. 12. Elliot Carver (Jonathan Pryce) Tomorrow Never Dies (1997) The best thing that anyone can commend Tomorrow Never Dies for—besides Pierce Brosnan’s reliably on-point performance as Bond—is Elliot Carver.

While this villain might be after creating headlines, he is also stolen straight from the printing press as one of the wriest attempts at satire in the whole James Bond oeuvre. With the thinnest of pretenses, Elliot is a walking, talking parody of Rupert Murdoch and the News Corp. organization. Because if there was any single mogul or CEO out there who would be a Bond villain today, it is Rupert Murdoch, right? One year after real life Rupert Murdoch launched Fox News in 1996, Tomorrow Never Dies introduces Elliot Carver on the eve of launching an international 24/7 news network around the globe. But that’s not good enough for Carver, who is also quietly starting a war between the UK and China, so that his media empire can cover it for better headlines, as well as squeeze their way into having exclusive broadcasting rights in China for the entirety of the 21st century. It’s ridiculous, and Jonathan Pryce loves every frame of it. A veteran character actor who appeared ready to dine on a fine meal, he has a delicious time consuming each millimeter of exotic scenery and location shooting while leaving only scraps for his fellow performers.

So over-the-top with his monologuing, grandstanding, and sheer deification of infotainment news, he should at some point have had a crossover with Ned Beatty’s Arthur Jensen from Network to trade notes. If that had happened, even 007 would be doomed. 11. Elektra King (Sophie Marceau) The World is Not Enough (1999) The marketing materials for The World is Not Enough clearly indicated that Robert Carlyle’s Renard was the villain of the story. Yet, I don’t think he even warrants a mention as a henchman. Rather, he is strangely a sympathetic monster: a terrorist who has fallen head over heels in love with the kidnapped daughter of a European industrialist. Quite literally presented as reverse Stockholm Syndrome, Renard loses his bearing for Elektra King and then willingly commits suicide for her by attempting to cause a hijacked nuclear submarine to meltdown in the Bosphorus —thereby eliminating Elektra’s Russian oil pipeline competitors. A knotty plot that doesn’t quite fully work, TWINE’s Elektra King nevertheless makes for a great villainess and is the only woman to be the actual lead Bond villain in a movie.

She even duped audiences as much as James early on as she appears to be just another conquest for Bond to bed. She’s beautiful, well-poised, and understandably troubled by the death of her father… but in actuality she manipulated his death and plays mind games still with James, Judi Dench’s M, and even the terrorists. Marceau and Brosnan had real sparks, which caused the scene where Bond was forced to shoot her while she was unarmed—and after he lamented earlier in the film that coldblooded murders are a filthy business—to be one of Brosnan’s most chilling moments, as well as a series highlight. She got the better of Bond for most of the movie, and even in death looks poised to haunt his dreams. 10. Max Zorin and May Day (Christopher Walken and Grace Jones) A View to a Kill (1985) A View to a Kill was Roger Moore’s last James Bond movie. It also is arguably his worst (I still prefer it over Octopussy and The Man with the Golden Gun, personally). But there is no denying that a) Duran Duran’s song is killer, and b) the villains in this one are camp classics.

At 57-years-old, Moore was more reliant on stuntmen than ever, but he also could lean for support on Christopher Walken, who looked stoned out of his mind while playing the antagonist. In the film, Max Zorin is ostensibly some test tube baby ubermensch cooked up by Nazi scientists for the KGB. But really, he’s Christopher Walken giggling at the witty banter he has to exchange with Roger Moore. If that wasn’t bizarre enough, he is also partnered with Grace Jones as his henchwoman and lover. Jones was popularizing high fashion and weirdness before Lady Gaga made it truly mainstream. Together, they make for the strangest romantic pairing in Bond movie history—or maybe just in movies, period…. at least until Roger Moore gets into her bed. These bad seeds are also brilliantly entertaining at elevating a schlock movie, whether it’s by having Jones bench press her real-life boyfriend Dolph Lundgren above her head, or having Walken chuckle to himself as he slides to his demise on the top of the Golden Gate Bridge. It’s gonzo and it’s glorious. 9. Mr.

Big and Baron Samedi (Yaphet Kotto and Geoffrey Holder) Live and Let Die (1973) This is one of the few times where the henchman/supporting villain is so strong that he can elevate the entire antagonism of the film. To be sure, Yaphet Kotto is a mercurial character actor who genre fans should also know from such films as Alien and The Running Man. Hence why it’s no surprise that he makes for a pretty menacing presence as Mr. Big, a corrupt Caribbean dictator with hands deep in the heroin trade. But the real strength of the picture—that’s strong enough to (mostly) overcome the uncomfortable implications wherein every black man 007 meets is a criminal—comes from Baron Samedi and the supernatural world he beckons us toward. Truth be told, Geoffrey Holder’s henchman doesn’t even have a whole lot to do in terms of interacting with Roger Moore out on his first assignment; there is another henchman named Tee Hee (Julius Harris) who gets into most of the physical altercations. But Baron Samedi is curious for the threat he personifies. This is a character that is truly supernatural.

007 shoots Samedi dead twice in the course of the picture—and with a post-Dirty Harry magnum to boot—and yet Samedi keeps coming back. The closing shot of the film is of the train on which Bond and Jane Seymour’s ethereal Solitaire are escaping New Orleans for a romantic getaway. Little do they know that on the roof above them, the impossible-to-kill Baron howls with delighted triumph. He is one villain that Bond never got the better of and is the sole time James entered the realm of the supernatural. It makes him one of the most popular henchmen in the series, who earns a top 10 spot simply for the tenor of that booming roar. 8. Francisco Scaramanga (Christopher Lee) The Man with the Golden Gun (1974) As previously mentioned, The Man with the Golden Gun might be our least favorite Bond movie. And this distinction is in no small part thanks to how much it wastes one of the great character actors of cinema history, Sir Christopher Lee. But it is also a tribute to Lee’s talent that despite being given one of the franchise’s weakest scripts, he is still among 007’s greatest foes.

As the titular marksman of the piece, Lee plays the thrice-nippled Scaramanga, a hitman so deadly that he only ever needs one proverbial golden bullet for his literal golden gun. The ultimate assassin for hire, he’s done so much wet work that he’s been able to pay for his own tropical island in the process. A perfect foil for Roger Moore’s affable cad, Lee’s overbearing seriousness as the consummate gentleman brings down the weight of a tenured professor in academia (with a PhD in assassination) against Roger’s typical prep school flippancy. It’s a great contrast that is woefully underutilized in favor of producers Broccoli and Harry Saltzman poorly capitalizing on the recent Western love for Bruce Lee and Hong Kong films with terrible “martial arts” sequences. There’s also plenty of uncomfortable comedy played at both Britt Ekland and Hervé Villechaize’s dwarf henchman Nick Nack’s expense. The best that can be said about these shockingly outdated detours is that the latter may have inspired Fantasy Island. At the very least, the final duel between Bond and Scaramanga has all the tension of a great Western showdown, and Lee never takes a false step. 7.

Ernst Stavro Blofeld (Donald Pleasence) You Only Live Twice (1967) Here finally is the most iconic portrayal of the super-villain with a kitty cat. Anything people likely remember about ol’ Ernst stems from Pleasence’s jarring appearance as a scarred, cycloptic baldy in a space age jump suit with a Persian on his lap. The only thing that separates him from the Dr. Evil he inspired in Mike Myers’ Austin Powers movies is that Dr. Evil at least has some self-awareness about his visible hilarity. And Pleasence is undeniably great in the role. Sure, he has a few henchmen working for him, plus another ginger haired femme fatale right after Thunderball, but this is the Blofeld show and it is a hoot. There is some plot going on about Blofeld kidnapping American and Soviet shuttles in orbit while simultaneously framing both countries as he leads his own space race. But who cares about all that jazz? This is the one where he tells Mr.

Bond his dastardly plan and then lets his guest sit comfortably by his side until the odds turn ever in 007’s favor (Q-branch cigarettes, anyone?). The only downside about this version of Blofeld is that he is so cartoonishly evil while he schemes in his hallowed out volcano lair that he passes the realm of intimidating and goes straight to nigh satire. This is not a criticism of the performance; it’s the quintessential Bond villain. However, I suspect there could be more to this character than volcanoes and hidden motes filled with carnivorous piranhas. 6. Raoul Silva (Javier Bardem) Skyfall (2012) The sole villain of the Daniel Craig era (yet) to have a true indelible affect, Javier Bardem’s Silva is the James Bond version of the Joker, and we’re all the better for it. This platinum blonde, pansexual carnivore turned MI6 on its head, and personally wounded Mr.

Bond in ways far too numerous to count: he attacked 007’s place of business in London; he burned down James’ childhood home; he demolished the classic Aston Martin DB5; and he even attempted to instill in Bond a sense of gay panic! Indeed, Bardem and director Sam Mendes created one of the most enticing monologues when they shoot Silva’s whole introductory speech in one-take with the fiend slowly and methodically marching toward a captured Bond while reciting his tortured metaphor about them both being rats. He then caresses and propositions a bound Bond—and in a brilliant bit of writing, James is neither shaken or stirred since this might not be his “first time” after all. But Silva’s greatest impact is that he brings modern chaos to London like any competent 21st century terrorist. With a few keystrokes and barrels of gasoline, he destroys the illusion of security and ultimately wins the day against Mr. Bond by succeeding to have murdered their mutual mentor, Judi Dench’s M. In fact, I can think of no other Bond villain who so thoroughly won the ideological battle; Silva’s goal was to kill off the Bond franchise’s Rock of Gibraltar, and kill her off he did.

Still, for my money, Silva’s best moment comes when he emasculates Bond by having the injured 00 fail to shoot a glass of scotch off Bérénice Marlohe’s head—Silva then simply shoots her in the head. Even for a Bond movie that was twisted. Kind of like Silva’s dental work. And now check out the very top 5 on the next page!
