  • When you have some kind of a hero like James Bond, you need some kind of companion to help him out. Here's my ranking of all the principal Bond Women in all the films, including the unofficial ones. I won't be counting secondary characters like Paris Carver or Sylvia Trench, as they deserve their own list sometime down the line. Feel free to disagree with any of my choices, but please do so respectfully.

      I think he got it right. Don't get me wrong as Diana Rigg carried that movie where she was in it, but Eva Green just edged it out as number one. Maybe because she had a better Bond to act with.

      I would put her as an ally, rather than a secondary Bond girl. There really isn't any romantic/sexual energy beyond them at all, beyond the more comical moment where he asks her to turn around while he changes. For NTTD I would put both her and Nomi as allies. @@stephenjarvis534

    Odd coincidence in Diamonds Are Forever. Plenty O'Toole was played by Lana Wood, sister of Natalie Wood. Natalie Wood was married to Robert Wagner and drowned when she fell off their yacht. Plenty is drowned in place of Tiffany Case. Tiffany's actress, Jill St. John, would go on to marry Robert Wagner and they're still married today.
    Also, Christopher Walken (Max Zorin) was also on the yacht when Natalie Wood died. They'd recently done a movie together, Brainstorm.

      Bond's romance with Vesper just felt very toxic. He hated her at first, then "fell in love" for a few days and then ended up sort of hating her again after her death. Bond's love for Tracy felt more pure. Plus Diana Rigg just had an elegance that no Bond girl has ever matched.

    I've read the Aki and Kissy actresses switched roles because Akiko Wakabayashi spoke English (or at least better English) and since she had more scenes, decided she'd be stronger for Aki.

    • @mrspandel5737
      @mrspandel5737 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Afaik Aki and Kissy were initially meant to be the same character, played by Mie Hama. But she couldn't learn english fast enough so the producers brought in Wakabayashi to replace her (which seems suspicious when you remember that most early Bond girls were dubbed anyway) Regardless as legend has it Hama threatened to commit suicide over being fired so the character of Aki was created to farm good karma. Which would explain why Kissy gets introduced right after Aki gets killed for no reason.

Her biting the bullet was the best part of that movie.

    25) Stacy Sutton - Agree, she is awful
    24) Vesper Lynd (1967) Agree, but I wouldn't rank this movie
    23) Kissy Suzuki - Mostly agree, but I would rank some lower
    22) Mary Goodnight - She is supposed to be incompetent, that is her schtick. I wouldn't put her this low, but admittedly she wasn't great.
    21) Jinx - I would rank her even lower than you do. She really detracts from the movie.
    20) Domino (Never Say Never Again) Agree. This whole film is just bad. Not the actress's fault, but even Connery couldn't save it.
    19) Christmas Jones - Disagree, she should be much higher. She is unfairly derided because people know the actress and don't like her. If it had been an unknown foreign actress, I think the attitude would be different. There are a lot of smart Bond women that are too beautiful for their roles and the "dumb blonde" Mary Goodnight gets docked for not being smart enough.
    18) Madeleine Swann. Disagree, she should be even lower than you have her. She is awful. Much like Daniel Craig in these two movies, she looks like she doesn't want to be there. It is as if she is being held hostage at gunpoint. There is zero chemistry between her and Craig as well. Why they ever decided to bring her back is beyond me. It would be like getting a voluntary root canal when one isn't needed.
    17) Honey Rider - I agree that she is more iconic than anything. Had she come later in the series she would be nobody's favorite.
    16) Kara Milovy - I like the character, but I can't argue with your placement.
    15) Solitaire - I'm a big Solitaire fan, so I'll have to say that she should be higher.
    14) Holly Goodhead - She is just a bland character for me. I like the two previous women you rank below her better.
    13) Melina Havelock - pretty much the same as Holly Goodhead.
    12) Tiffany Case - A bit high for my taste, but she is better than many rate her. I also like Plenty O'Tool better though.
    11) Tatiana Romanova - I just feel like she belongs in the top 10
    10) Camille Montes - Agree, it's a shame that she was stuck in such a bad film. She is the only bright spot in Quantum of Solace.
    9) Domino - Agree, maybe she should be even a little higher. She is my favorite Connery Bond woman.
    8) Anya Amasova - I would put her in the top five.
    7) Wai Lin - Not quite top 10 for me, due to the lack of chemistry that you noted.
    6) Pam Bouvier - I agree that she is top 10.
    5) Octopussy - I agree she's top 10, but I always liked Magda better than Octopussy.
    4) Pussy Galore - Disagree. I think she is like Honey Rider in that she only ranks this high because of how iconic she is, this time as the first Bond woman with an innuendo name. I'm not saying she is bad, just not top 10 material.
    3) Natalya Simonova - I agree that she is a top 10 Bond woman.
    2) Tracy - Disagree. I really don't understand why she is rated so highly. Is it because she was Bond's only wife? Is it because of the actress? I don't buy into the love story. We are to believe that Tracy goes from being someone that can't even be bothered to be in Bond's presence to hopelessly in love with him after watching a three-minute montage.
    1) Vesper Lynd (2006) - Disagree. Another one that I don't get. Maybe she is ranked this high because she looms over the entire Daniel Craig era, but I see that as a negative. Seeing Bond mope around for four films over a woman that he knew for just a short time is not entertaining. Had they just let her die, she might rank higher, but she still wouldn't be this high.

      I understand most of the Fandom hates Craig but he was really the best actor that played bond. All the other bonds were handsome men that looked like they knew their way around the gym but have 2 left feet and wouldn't last a second in a fight. It's kind of hard for me to believe those actors...it's like Michael Keaton who is my favorite batman, but his character doesn't look like he could beat up a group of thugs with his bare hands like bale or affleck.

      Ultimately it was the decision of the producers to make him harder and tougher, which in the early days, particularly after Sean Connery, they were not interested in doing.
      A particular point was Lewis Collins who would have been a good bond. His audition was said to be too realistically tough/ physical for the producers to handle.

    On #18: I think the main reason why the love confession was so forgettable was because, at the same time as the scene, they were busy adapting Colonel Sun (the first non-Fleming novel) in the torture sequence verbatim, and so had Madeline basically do the bare minimum because they didn't want the homage to be ruined, but otherwise, I didn't mind the performance (though that's probably because I think that dull surprise is cool).
    On #27: I like that bit where Bond leaves Stacey hanging a few seconds to look elsewhere, and that gets a chuckle out of me. Otherwise, she's pretty bland because I don't really judge characters by how whiny their voices sounds or the like.

As for Pussy Galore, much as I love Honor Blackman from "The Avengers", I think she is overrated as a Bond "girl".
