Nabbing a high-profile position in a coveted movie series like James Bond is a huge honor and terrific treat for any actor. But for feminine performers, it will rather well be a curse. Screenwriters of the long-running film sequence were known to treat the ladies in their scripts much like early James Bond characters used to: like commodities which might be forged aside after some in-between-the-sheets conquests. Or they're straight-up murdered to further the plot.

While more Bond girls have about as much depth as a single shot of whiskey in an inexpensive bar, there are some which might be surprisingly advanced. Here are 15 of the "hottest" and downright insulting Bond Girls that experience appeared in the preferred franchise over the years.

1. Hot — Vesper Lynd, 'Casino Royale'

Source: Sony Pictures

The absolute best Bond woman comes from what's objectively the most efficient Bond movie ever. Casino Royale manages to deliver a doozy of a backstory for everybody's favourite heartless secret agent by means of introducing a character who's a better undercover agent than him in each and every way. While the film packs a litany of dizzying action scenes and wonderful cinematography, it is the taut, splendidly acted scenes between James and Vesper that stand out above them all. 

And we be told that his iconic drink is called after her, amazing.

2. Not — Dr. Christmas Jones, 'The World is Not Enough'

The World is Not Enough is a stark reminder that the majority of James Bond flicks are laughably unhealthy. It's difficult to imagine Denise Richards' character is a nuclear physicist and even more implausible is the fact that the writers actually named her Christmas only for an awful post-coital joke after her and agent 007 roll round in the hay. Her eyebrows and make-up are on point, on the other hand.

3. Hot — Contessa Teresa di Vicenzo, 'On Her Majesty's Secret Service'

This is a film that don't have been a just right Bond flick: it was the primary one who came out after Sean Connery departed from the franchise. The film's lead, George Lazenby solid his performing resume to land the gig. He used to be an Australian style with zero film credits however someway hoodwinked himself to play the lead. I guess everyone was once scared sufficient to do an amazing process as a result of it is extensively regarded as the most productive Bond movie of all time, and a large number of that has to do with Diana Rigg's performance.

She's one of the crucial first Bond Girls with precise depth (a feat for a 1969 movie) and her and James in the end get married in the film. Tragically, she's killed by way of certainly one of James' enemies, and the scene when he holds her after she dies is more than likely probably the most only in point of fact emotional moments in all of the series' historical past. This and Casino Royale are the best Bond motion pictures of all time, thanks to sturdy leading girl performances.

4. Not — Mary Goodnight, 'The Man With The Golden Gun'

A daft script doesn't help Britt Ekland's performance in this flick, and it does not assist that it looks like she was solid because of her washboard abs, or the fact that she's rocking a reputation that may be a thinly-veiled sex shaggy dog story. The handiest just right factor to come out of the flick is the uber-weapon within the N64 vintage, Goldeneye.

5. Hot — Anya Amasova, 'The Spy who Loved Me'

Source: United Artists

It's at all times refreshing when James Bond has an equivalent, and Anya Amasova is most certainly that. A KGB agent who does not shy away from the most dastardly of villains (Jaws), she's a quick-thinking, badass secret agent in her own regard. 

Actress Barbara Bach also does a perfect process of raising Anya from the script's supply material, too.

6. Not — Solitaire, 'Live and Let Die'

Source: United Artists

There's a reason why one of the most most effective things that persist from this film is the Guns N' Roses cover of its iconic theme track — this is because the movie is completely ridiculous. Jane Seymour performs a psychic who handiest helps to keep her powers as long as she's a virgin...yeah, I know, The Scorpion King did the similar precise factor. 

7. Hot — May Day, 'A View to a Kill'

Source: MGM

There's a long-running idea that the most productive Bond theme songs continuously come from their worst movies, but A View to a Kill throws a wrench in that. Grace Jones is technically a nasty guy in this flick, however she ruled the '80s as an motion megastar, and used to be completely perfect on digital camera, especially when paired with Christopher Walken. 

Just look at them in combination, holding guns, being all villainous. Oh, and she also jumps off the Eiffel Tower. WHAT?! Who cares if the film's just mediocre.

8. Not — Octopussy, 'Octopussy'

Source: MGM

A paint-by-numbers Bond film that manages to toss in a few great motion sequences, the movie is overall, sadly, about as dumb as its identify. Maud Adams performs the owner of a circus (trace: she's a foul man) however used to be additionally a Bond girl in The Man with the Golden Gun and was once an extra in A View to a Kill. She will have to in reality love Bond flicks.

9. Hot — Ling, 'You Only Live Twice'

Source: United Artists

It's tricky to stand out as a woman within the Sean Connery Bond flicks, but actress Tsai Chin did just that as Ling, being featured within the pre-credits sequence of You Only Live Twice. She came again just about Forty years later for a brief cameo in Casino Royale, as Madame Wu, playing poker with everybody's favorite MI6 operative.

10. Not — Solange Dimitrios, 'Casino Royale'

Source: Sony Pictures

Great flick, however Solange sadly just ends up as unhealthy guy fodder in the film. She does glance nice using a horse in a daft bikini right prior to she meets her premature finish just for serving to James out. To her credit score, actress Caterina Murino does a good a job as she will be able to together with her persona as written.

11. Hot — Pussy Galore, 'Goldfinger'

Source: United Artists

Let's simply put out of your mind about her ridiculous name for a second, OK? Because Honor Blackman (whose title sounds adore it belongs in a Bond film anyway) is admittedly superb in this film. The story the screenplay's based on outright states that Galore is lesbian, one thing that the film best intimates at. She's not in reality subject to James' charms (which immediately makes her extra attention-grabbing than different Bond girls) and has the audacity to flip against Goldfinger, who is one of the scariest Bond villains within the series. She simply may've had her personal spin-off movies.

12. Not — Jinx, 'Die Another Day'

The handiest thing any person recollects from this flick is that lovely image of Halley Berry, looking absolutely unbelievable rising from the water in an orange bikini. Yes, she's stunning. Yes, she's rocking a peculiar belt that was solely designed to holster a unmarried form of knife to assist her dig for oysters or no matter. Yes, Halle Berry is a smart actress. But this position wasn't nice and he or she wasn't all that groovy in it either.

13. Hot — M, 'Goldeneye', 'Tomorrow Never Dies', 'The World is Not Enough', 'Die Another Day', 'Casino Royale', 'Quantum of Solace', 'Skyfall'

Source: Sony Pictures

Dame Judi Dench played the iconic position of M for several films and used to be nearly a mom determine for 2 Bonds. While not every 007 movie she seemed in were excellent, she was all the time superb in them. Not a "Bond Girl" as a romantic love interest per se, however you may have to mention her because she's simply essentially the most influential particular person in James' lifestyles, and Judi is a hell of an actress.

14. Not — Plenty O'Toole, 'Diamonds are Forever'

Source: United Artists

The saving grace for this film is its over-the-top stunts, however it about ends there. An overly-complicated, spinoff plot with 0 to little personality development for its leading man spells dangerous information for the movie's ancillary characters, which includes the ludicrously named Plenty O'Toole. She is the archetype for vapid Bond Girls.

15. Hot — Wai Lin, 'Tomorrow Never Dies'

Source: MGM

Michelle Yeoh is absolutely amazing. She will get a large number of credit for being an ideal motion megastar who without problems pulls off fight choreography like no one's industry, however she's additionally a lovely darn just right actress too, and was once the spotlight of a slightly bland Bond affair. Such a disgrace after how excellent Goldeneye used to be, but the only different just right section in Tomorrow Never Dies aside from Wai Lin is that awesome BMW bike chase scene.
