    At first I thought Robert Davi was going to be playing a generic drug kingpin character (pre-credits and Florida scenes), but the longer 'License To Kill' goes on the better the material he gets to work with and I agree that he is one of the very best and most believable Bond villains.

    I would say that my favorite Bond villain of all time is Blofeld portrayed by Telly Savalas in On Her Majesty’s Secret Service. I know that he may not be the most iconic version of Blofeld, but honestly Telly Savalas’s Blofeld is a Bond villain who I feel like has a combination of all the different types of Bond villains. He’s charming, intelligent, and he looks like someone who could beat Bond in a fight while not looking cartoonishly big. I know people criticize this version of Blofeld for having an American accent and for not having a cheek scar, but I don’t think the version needed those things to make him a threatening villain.

    I believe Dr. No was supposed to be both Chinese and German hence why he doesn't look fully Asian. I would've put him in the Top 5 at least because he really did set the template for future Bond villains.

    • @jacobkilby
      @jacobkilby 7 ปีที่แล้ว +25

      Agreed. The issue with Dr No as a film is that they don't know what to do with him, as he doesn't get much screen time for the length of the film and given he is the title character.

      "DutchBondFan" is evidently unaware of the fact that Dr. No is _half-Chinese_ (and half-German). The Quebecois actor in this role is arguably less obtuse than Connery clumsily disguised as a Japanese fisherman, or Toby Stephens as a North Korean (Colonel Moon character transformed as Gustav Graves character).

In that clip, I always liked how the henchman hands him the axe without Davi asking. As if this death scenario happens all the time!

    Robert Davi was amazing in that role and fitted the changes in Bond himself. With Timothy Dalton we got a grittier, more action oriented Bond and we needed a villain to match that. Robert Davi gave the Dalton era the perfect villain for Dalton’s style, with a more rounded and less overblown character. I love the big villains of the series with the grandiose plans, but Robert was the perfect villain for that time and is easily one of the best of the entire series.

He doesn’t see his full victory but still wins and that’s why o love him

    I’d say Rosa counts as a villain. Dr No was under the direction of Blofeld (although we don’t learn that till FRWL) and he was obviously a main villain.
    More importantly we see Largo get instructions from Blofeld in Thunderball and he’s considered a Bond villain.

    Watching this again after a few years and watching some of the films again, I really appreciate Kamal Khan more than I did. Louis Jourdan gave a great understated performance. He's so convincing when he explains that throwing two sixes is all in the wrist. Like if we were going to be cheated, we'd prefer he do it. I also appreciated Drax more than I did. I'd like to think he just barely missed this list. It's funny how some villains just don't make the list, especially the Blofelds. I think the Blofelds spend too much time behind the desk and not enough scenes where Bond outwits them and they fail to have that classic adversarial relationship with Bond.

I think if the next Craig bond film is going to go back to basics and try and make a clever espionage spy story, that it would benefit from a realistic gritty villain like Sanchez, or maybe even use a woman villain, I do wonder how Craig's bond would fare against her.

      After killing Bond at the end of "From Russia With Love", Fleming's next project was a screenplay for an unfilmed TV pilot about a different character. The main villain for the story, a tribute to Dr. Fu Manchu, was created specifically to give his cousin, Lee, a main villain role (at a time before his career really took off). The script was turned into his next novel, "DR. NO", and while Lee did not star in the eventual movie, he did wind up playing 2 different Asian villains, including Fu Manchu-- 5 times.

    I might be a little jaded as "Moonraker" was my first Bond film, but I always liked Hugo Drax(Michael Lonsdale) as a Bond villain. Always had a great dry one liner while plotting, executing or attempting to intimidate...he's eminently quotable.
    "Look after Mr. Bond. See that some harm comes to him."
    "At least I'll have the pleasure of putting you out of my misery."
    "Mr. Bond, you continue to defy my efforts to provide you with an amusing death."
    "And you, the treacherous Dr. Goodhead. Your dream of becoming the first woman in space is about to be granted."
    And even if he's almost a carbon copy of Carl Stromberg from "The Spy who loved Me," I admire the scope of his master plan better(then again, I'm a science fiction fan, so...yeah...).

Totally convincing and he came across as realistic too, as that is probably how a mega powerful media mogul would be, i.e. someone who despite all their wealth and power is ultimately a very weak man. He had some of the best one liners as well. "There's no news like bad news" was my favourite and the tone in which he expressed them was delicious and cutting in equal measure.

      Found him underwhelming. He isn’t even my favourite villain from LALD. Tee Hee is.

    1. General Orlov. A looney character played with looney perfection. His face simultaneously radiates menace and charm like a 100-watt light bulb. The most profound death scene.
    2. Emilio Largo. He is the best anti-Bond, and he almost killed Bond on his own. A Number 2 executive who is also a competent platoon leader, works hard and plays hard, has the coolest boat with the coolest name and a gorgeous mistress.
    3. Sanchez.
    4. Le Chiffre.
    5. General Gogol. Not a true villain, but he is a very respectable opponent who deserves a tribute. Leaving politics aside, I think Bond would like Gogol better than M as a boss. I wish he could make a cameo appearance in Goldeneye as a retired and frail old man, and give a few words of wisdom to Bond. That would be a nice way to wrap up his career and add more depth and continuity to the film.
    6. Boris Grishenko. The only computer hacker in the series and so passionate about his work. I wish the new Q could look more like him. The funniest death scene.
    7. Dominic Greene. QoS has grown on me over time, and I’ve developed a soft spot for Greene. His personality is a little murky but that also makes him mysterious and interesting. And there’s the subtle chemistry between him and Elvis.... The epic ax fight is a nice surprise. The most pathetic ending.
    8. Aris Kristatos. Elegant and sophisticated, perfect fit for the most elegant and understated film in the series.
    9. Dr. Carl Mortner. This underdeveloped character has a lot of unused potential, because he is so evil. I think he would be a more suitable villain against the aging Roger Moore.
    10. Tov Kronsteen. A very memorable character despite so little screen time, gives off a similar vibe as Le Chiffre. His first appearance at the chess match is as impressive as Bond’s first appearance at the casino table in Dr. No. And they both know how to hold a cigarette.
    Honorable mention: Jacques Bouvar. He is smart enough to be Number 6 in Spectre, almost escapes Bond’s assasination by staging his own death, and then attends his own funeral disguised as his own widow. There are enough plots to make a prequel film.
    I prefer villains who are more down to earth and hands on. I’m not a fan of haughty supervillains with ostentatious settings (No, Gustav, Drax, Stromberg, Zorin, Kamal, and Blofeld). I enjoy watching those lairs and palaces from a tourist’s perspective, but my admiration goes to the architects, not the owners.
    I don’t like villains who are mega rich but still cheat on little guys in games simply because they need to win all the time (Goldfinger, Zorin, Kamal), or villains who let their personal grudge get in the way of their schemes or even become the main focus of their schemes (Alec, Electra, Scaramanga, Silva). That’s just petty and unprofessional.
    I also don’t like grown up villains who still have daddy/mommy issues (Electra, Gustav, Silva), or still have silly obsessions about superstition (Kananga, Scaramanga), porn (Elliot Carver), or selfie (Whitaker).

    - Was a hitman in Europe hunting natzs.
    Auric goldfingers actor actually was a natzi and when this leaked in news the movie was banned in many countries. When jew couple informed media that Gert Fröbe saved them in WW2 the movie was unbanned :D

    Good production and clip work as usual, though I miss your usual humor here. We have about half the same villians in our top ten but I don't have the disdain you do for Charles Grey or Blofeld - perhaps it's because the first two movies I saw were OHMSS and DAF, both with Blofeld, so that was my standard for Bond villains. My ten best villains list: 10-Elliot Carver (Jonathan Pryce); 9-Franz Sanchez (Robert Davi); 8-Aristotle Kristatos (Julian Glover); 7-Emilio Largo (Emilio Largo); 6-Elektra King (Sophie Marceau); 5-Ernst Stavro Blofeld - OHMSS (Telly Savalas); 4-Raoul Silva - Skyfall (Javier Bardem); 3-Ernst Stavro Blofeld - DAF (Charles Gray); 2-Maximilian Largo - NSNA (Klaus Maria Brandauer); 1-Auric Goldfinger (Gert Frobe)

    I was really surprised with the no.1 pick as he seems more like someone who would appear in Scarface than in a Bond movie, but I do certainly think he's underappreciated. I think he might be the only Bond villain from that era who was truly intimidating because he seemed like someone who could almost appear in real life.

    @aypun4239 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    A great list! I agree with what you say about Sanchez. With your review on License To Kill, I can tell that Franz Sanchez is way up there for you haha😂.
    Mine will be.....
    1) Alec Trevelyan (Goldeneye)
    - Great character, great backstory and great personality. The 'Dark Side of Bond' villains are my favourite type of Bond villains and Trevelyan is no exception. His plot is good and his fight with Bond in the end is one of the best in the series.
    2) Le 'Chiffre (Casino Royale '06)
    - Another great performance by Mads Mikkelsen. This guy is so creepy and cold and the poker game that sees him and Bond face off mentally and psychologically is so good.
    3) Auric Goldfinger (Goldfinger)
    - A classic Bond villain. He is such an iconic villain with scenes so memorable like the lazer scene and the golf scene. His Operation Grand Slam is great as well.
    4) Franz Sanchez (License To Kill)
    - OH BOY. Sanchez is someone you wouldn't want to mess with. He's charming, knowledgeable and if you piss him off or double cross him, down right brutal.
    5) Raoul Silva (Skyfall)
    - After Quantum Of Solace had a cardboard cutout of a villain like Dominic Greene. Silva was such a breath of fresh air. He's so menacing and terrifying and utterly insane. Think The Joker, Jaws and Alec Trevelyan wrapped in one with a backstory about revenge and hatred of MI6.
    6) Franscisco Scaramanga (The Man With The Golden Gun)
    - I mean it's Christopher Lee, the guy known for Count Dooku, Dracula, Sarumon. He is incredibly charming, skillful and his golden gun is so cool
    7) Ernst Stavro Blofeld
    - The arch-nemesis of Bond and leader of SPECTRE. He is THE Bond villain that everyone knows. He's threatening, vile and cunning but his character is varies from time to time. So if I were to rank all the Blofelds.....
    1. Anthony Dawson/Eric Pohlmann
    2. Donald Pleaseance
    3. Telly Savalas
    4. Christoph Waltz
    5. Charles Gray
    6. John Hollis/Robert Rietty
    8) Hugo Drax (Moonraker)
    - No matter what many people says, I enjoyed Moonraker and Hugo Drax was one of those reasons why. He is quiet and collected and very evil. His plan is also pretty good
    9) Elektra King (The World is Not Enough)
    - The first ever female Bond villain. She is such a delight to watch. Her plot was great and how she manipulate everyone to achieve her goal. She is cunning, cruel and evil that Sophie Marceau played well
    10) Dr Kananga/Mr Big (Live And Let Die)
    - He is a great villain. He is cold, menacing and is a joy to watch. His plot is also good too.
    HMs: Kamal Khan, Max Zorin, Emillio Largo, Doctor Julius No.
    DMs: Gustave Graves/Colonel Moon, Karl Stromberg, Brad Whittaker
    Worst: Dominic Greene

  • @kevinhabener1279
    @kevinhabener1279 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    I also happen to agree with the #1 choice here. I was 17 years old when I watched License to Kill at the movie theater in summer 1989. That movie, I even knew then would probably never be one of the most popular Bond movies, but I knew they did NOT run out of ideas for it. Yeah to me, Sanchez was definitely one of the most memorable and most brutal of all the Bond villains that I could remember well. And boy did he get it in the end when Bond set him on fire. And License to Kill is one of he Bond movies, I've chosen to have in my collection.

  • @HYDRAdude
    @HYDRAdude 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Alec is definitely my favorite bond villain by far. His motivation is the most personal and grounded being rooted in an actual historical tragedy that makes you feel really sympathetic for him. The fact that he knows all of (or at least most) of Bond's tricks really makes come off as extremely competent and threatening. Plus Sean Bean is just a great actor in general.
    The reason he wants to steal the gold isn't so much that he wants to become super rich, but rather it is to bankrupt the UK financially destroying the country that betrayed his people. He wants the British people to experience the same hardships that his people did. I feel it's a lot more believable than nuking the place as so many other villains wanted to do.

This videos show all the things in the movies you would probably would haved missed and rewatching them over again. I think I must agree: Sanchez is one of the best Bond villains or perhaps the best.

    At first, I found some of your fav villains too low-key, not unique enough for Bond, but I must admit the brilliance of the actors that played them. It made me see that, in retrospect, Dalton's films were already doing what the Craig films were aiming for and, IMHO, did it better. Also, kudos for recognizing Scaramanga; it was one of Lee's quirkiest performances, making Scaramanga a truly 3 dimensional villain in spite of the script's limitations.

    Great video as always, keep up the amazing work!!! My personal favorite Bond villain is Dominic Greene why well he is very intimidating despite his size and lack of security he has one of the most epic fights with bond ever which was very unexpected considering he’s just a businessman as well as his plan being simple yet very effective I mean taking Bolivia’s water supply may seem odd or stupid but water is essential and people would pay top dollar for it I don’t understand why people dislike him he’s the only Bond villain (excluding Stamper) that genuinely freaked me out and when a villain does that u know u have a good villain
