I think the casino royale one was really amazing because it really sets the tone plus they mixed his first kill with the gun barrel sequence which is pretty cool. I think it's the best intro to a bond movie ever.
That gunbarrel was sh!t plain and simple, there are some things you just don't screw with and having the traditional gunbarrel at the beginning is one of them. I HATED the gunbarrel sequences for the first 3 Craig films, HATED them.
@eating sugar no papa Casino Royale's opening was HORRIBLE, there are some things you just don't mess with. It would be just like a Star Wars film not opening with a title crawl, some things you just don't do. It's odd: Casino Royale opened with one of the worst moments in the whole franchise yet ended with one of the best moments in the franchise. It was kind of an uneven mess.
Yeah, would somebody shut that broad up already!! She gets so many things wrong. Towards end, she talking about Odd Job, then she says "Blowfeld from plane". When earlier they showed Blowfeld fall from landing thing of Helicopter NOT a Plane.
I can't believe the Car kick from "For Your Eyes Only" didn't make it. Roger Moore runs up those stone steps, huffing and puffing and then just kicks that guy off the edge of the cliff killing him. Personally my favorite Moore movie.
Yeah, that was Moore at his most cold blooded. Personally, I like the one in The Spy Who Loved Me, where the guy is holding onto Bond's tie to keep from falling off a building. After getting the info he needs, Bond swats the tie out of his hand an lets him fall. Then he straightens the tie.
JCBro2014 Yeah, I think that was one of the points they were trying to make with his death. With all the complex and intricate kills in Skyfall, a straight up knife to the back was the best way for Silva to depart.
Remember seeing Casio Royal for the first time in the cinema, was blown away by how brutal that first fight was and how realistic it was. Daniel Craig is simply the best James Bond ever!
Grant Kidd I'd disagree with that... a BRUTAL FISTFIGHT with REALISTIC coreography and the way our (supposed) hero BUTCHERS someone is really awesome... in an action movie like the Bourne trilogy, or any Expendables... But we are talking about James Bond...The witty one-liners and ridiculous kills (like the catapult seat, or no 2-3 on this list) are the ones we are looking for, and not the "general action hero" bullshit we've seen a thousand times from J. Statham, S.Stallone, A. Schwarzenegger,T. Cruise... D. Craig is an awesome action star (with his bandit / outlaw character), but he isn't even coming close to James Bond...
Sir Pharsys well, i've read the books, so i know that Craige is the only Bond, who makes movies like the books. James Bond wasn't written for kids. James Bond is a MI6 Killer with a huge alcohol and drugproblem. He is a brutal Agent and onetimes, he was suspendet, because he had killed too many innocent people.
R P G a m e s As part of the 90s generation, i first met with the films, only later read some books, but gave up on them soon simply because it had nothing "new" in them. That being said the Bond series is one of the few i actually approve that they changed on the original concept, giving the movies a special gentleman-softaction feeling (some call it sillyness), that none of the other action films could capture. That feeling was dented by Brosnan and is totally lost since the new Casino Royale. Now they film the generic action bullshit under the flag of the franchise. I'm fine with the reboot idea, hell i would even accept Mr. Putin as a protagonist, but the way they lead the stories i don't see what makes Casino or Quantum "special" in the immense flood of action movies. With minor steering they brought back some charm into Skyfall, but i can only hope they follow it up with a decent Spectre movie...in case they don't the series will just blend in the general stream of action like the book does...
Sir Pharsys I really agree! Although I really loved skyfall (but mainly because of Silva). I think Daniel is just a bit too cold, makes his romances unbelievable!
The From Russia with Love Bond / Red Grant train fight and kill deserves more than an honorable mention IMHO. The way Terrence Young set up and choreographed that fight scene into a dirty vicious fight for survival is unforgettable. "You won't be needing this...OLD MAN!" >:-( Perfection. And on an unrelated fact to Bond kills; FRWL set something of a standard for movie train fight scenes as we know them.
Watched that movie for the first time a few weeks ago, and that fight scene was the highlight of the film for me. Just something about the way it was choreographed made it feel like a gritty, bare-knuckle fight to the death. No gimmicks, no gadgets (other than the garrote watch and the exploding suitcase, of course); just two men fighting to the death in a claustrophobic setting.
Favourite Kill..... Random Henchman at Elliot Carvers Printing Press in Hamburg... falls into a Printing Press.... Bond: They print anything these days.
I always kinda liked the Duel kill between Bond and Scaramanga. The silence occasionally broken by Nick Nack trying to mess with Bond was a little intense. And then Bond delivering the final shot pretending to be a statue was cool.
Agreed--Sean Connery & Robert Shaw were spectacular . Stunt men were barely used, adding chilling brutality that was shocking for the time & holds up against any contemporary action movie.
LordoftheJimmy can’t think of many more brutal realistic fights bond has had that beat that. 2 equally matched men both trying to kill each other with their bare hands
Nick McGill The cat and mouse part was definitely memorable though the climax is kind of stupid, with Bond posing as a statue of himself. Not out there enough to be amazing like the Kananga death either.
Dave, Moore as a bad ass just never sold. He had some great scenes--Locke's death for example. But the director John Glen had to beg Moore to do the scene. It just wasn't Moore. BTW, I rank 'For Your Eyes Only' as one of the top ten Bond films, its that good.
The death of the henchman of Sanchez in "License to Kill" was a good one. Bond framed him and Sanchez killed him by method of air pressure and blowing up.
My personal favourite is Red Grant on the train in From Russia with Love. The fight scene that proceeded it was and still is one of the best and grittiest fight scenes ever, not only in the Bond franchise. It still looks as real today as it did then.
Vincent Coakley True, interestingly though in the novel Goldfinger had planned to steal the gold at Fort Knox but was changed for the film when the novel had received criticism for it being unrealistic that is why there is a scene in the film where Bond tells him the plan to steal the gold wouldn't work and why.
Vincent Coakley Not destroying it, but detonating a dirty bomb that would've irradiated all the gold in Fort Knox, making the entire facility and the gold inside inaccessbile.
Bond shoots Elektra b/c she's ordering for the dive over the radio, which is what he's trying to stop. He still shows remorse for her death by brushing her face afterwards. Do your research for once, WatchMojo. Xenia's death is way better, imo.
I was disappointed with how they spun Oddjobs death too. No mention of Bond having to outsmart the guy because he was getting his ass kicked, or that the "loose electrical wire" was actually caused by one of his attacks (although they did show that). It almost seems like they gave the premade video to some random person and said "narrate this" without them having any clue.
The other disappointment with Oddjob's death was the writer's use of "cooked like a steak" rather than the much more appropriate "cooked like Korean barbecue."
If they did their research you wouldn't get "helicopter skid" replaced with the hilarious "helicopter landing stick". LANDING STICK??? And you wouldn't get 006 falling to the floor of the "satellite".
I can think of ten better ones than most of those: Whit and Kidd (Diamonds Are Forever) That guy in that apartment where Bond stabs him in the back of the leg and holds him until he's dead (Quantum of Solace) Benicio Del Toro getting ground up in Licence to Kill Green being left in the desert to die (Quantum of Solace) The fan in the bath (Goldfinger) Largo's henchman getting harpooned (Thunderball) Blofeld's henchman getting churned up in the snowchipper (OHMSS) Peter Franks fight in the elevator (Diamonds Are Forever) The exploding keyring (The Living Daylights) Kicking the car off a cliff (For Your Eyes Only)
+Revelian1982 I agree, I thought Benicio's death was way more gruesome. He was literally shredded to pieces slowly and painfully because he was still gripping Bond's leg!
***** He is absolutely not the worst Bond. He's actually my favorite Bond, despite the lack of interesting kills. He's one of the best actors yet, because he shows Bond like he's supposed to be showed: a hardened assassin that slowly gets broken by his psychological villains.
Bonds has had many exciting and memorable kills, but the Elektra King kill in THE WORLD IS NOT ENOUGH was the most stark for me. It didn't have all the fancy moves, stunts and computerized frills of some of his other kills, but that is what helped make it so memorable. It was simple, stark, cold and all professional. He gave her dead lips a sorrowful kiss afterwards, but the killing was cold and all business. His heated shout at her before that, and her flirty little bit of denial that he'd shot her, all set up the kill perfectly. And props to Sophie overall for her portrayal of Elektra. If she wasn't the Best Bond Villain on all time, she was certainly in the Top 2 or 3.
Too many Brosnans on this list and not enough Moore, plus your Licence to Kill scene was not even the best kill in that movie... that one should have been Benicio del Toro getting grinded up in the gears of the machine.
+AngryDave113 I actually find the death of Whittaker a bit anti-climactic, much like the death of Stromberg in the Spy Who Loved Me. Despite only being a henchman and having little to say, Necros is probably the best baddie in the entire film. The Living Daylights is actually one of my favorite, if not my absolute favorite, Bond film, largely due to being a fan of Dalton and his interpretation of the Ian Fleming Bond character.
Salmoney it couldnt really choose but dalton is in the top three or four for sure. Alltough i find licence to kill the more solid movie, i prefer daylights of the two. Its not just daltons portrayal..its the whole atmosphere. I love the scenesbin bratislava where he went for kara.. Talking of necros he is probably the strongest henchman there is..
Even though it's lower on my rankings of films, For Your Eyes Only had that amazing car kick off the cliff. I was really hoping I'd see that here. Oh well.
Zach Litchman I was thought it would make it too but after thinking about it, the build up was nothing special. That Countess lady was run over and Bond just runs up a bunch of stairs and shoots Emile Locque and kicks his car. It was very cold tho.
you didnt mention the infamous "i am invincible" kill of boris in goldeneye, which bond was directly responsible for on a time delay since he damaged the nitrogen tanks if i remember right.
One of my favorite James Bond Kills, I call it Burnt and Blown. Mr. Wint and Mr. Kidd posing as cruise ship room service waiters. After recognizing them through one of them's aftershave. Kidd tried to impale bond with two flaming skewers only to be splashed with wine burning him alive. Then Bond strapped Mr. Wint with the bomb then knocking him overboard and blew up before he splashed in the water.
Die Another Day dropping the chandelier on the henchman and sending the bad guy into a jet engine, Tomorrow Never Dies feeding its bad guy to the Sea Drill, The Living Daylights "He got the boot", etcetera.
+Samniss Arandeen Seriously! Not even an honorable mention for two of the most gruesome deaths in the entire franchise! Die Another Day is seriously underrated imo. The kill from Tomorrow Never Dies as well.
+Haven Todd I gave it another chance recently. Although I thought initially that it was terrible, its gotten even worse with age. Excluding the overthetopness of the plot and action sequences, the dialogue was terrible, the acting was herendous and the story was not told all that well. As a video game, DOD would have been probably quite awesome (as was everything or nothing, bonds best game imo). But as a movie it just does not do the take on the bond universe. I really feel as if it deserves all the bashing it gets from everyone. But props to you if this kind of movie appeals to you...
I liked the list, but not the choice for number one. There were a lot more memorable Bond kills than that one (though the movie was great). For instance, certainly Auric Goldfinger's death was better than that one and should be included in this list. Or from The Spy Who Loved Me, with Naomi in the copter being blown up by the Lotus. Loque in For Your Eyes Only (Moore very cold-blooded and not comedic as he usually was). Gustav Graves in Die Another Day. On Her Majesty's Secret Service with that skiier falling to the snow blower and having his guts fly off. Many others.
@@gregseebregts2063 My thoughts too. I always thought this was the most serious I've ever seen Roger Moore as Bond as he uses his "licensed to kill" permit to point blank shoot and kill Stromberg.
You missed two of my favourites. The one when James Bond electrocutes the guy in the bath, and the one when the guy explodes because there is too much pressure.
Her Majesty Secret Service. The scene after bond escapes blofeld's headquarters, nighttime ski chase and Bond flips the henchman off the mountain with his ski. The "He's got guts" was gruesome too. However my personal favorite is Max Zorin off the Golden Gate bridge
Hmm, good list, but I reckon you missed one out. The kill at the start of Quantum of Solace probably deserves at least an honourable mention: with the whole chase beforehand, the falling scaffolding, the swinging ropes, then the final kill at the end of if all ... The film as a whole might gave flopped, but you can't deny that after this was a gripping fight scene. But then, that's just me.
***** I would have removed the Silva death and put that one in. The face Silva makes looks more like he stubbed his tow than he got a knife in the back. As far as the QoS film as a whole goes, it is a great film especially when you consider it (what it is) as a direct sequel to Casino Royale. QoS is fast paced but the plot is fully there and more complicated than most of the people that dislike it give it credit for. It also does not have any glaring holes like "what the hell happened to the list of agents?"
+Matt Luke Totally agree, I'm not a big bond guy, but I loved the recent ones. I actually clicked on this hoping that one from Quantum would be in here.
I thought the scene from For Your Eyes Only would make it in where he kicks the car off the cliff edge with that guy still in it. But the scene I would pick as my favourite is the fight with Stamper. That guy was just evil.
The killing of Professor Dent (Dr. No) and Dr. Kaufmann (Tomorrow Never Dies) are two of the darkest kills in the franchise along with some of the ones listed in this video. Those two scenes make both of those films for me.
This is terrible. How is it shocking or cold-blooded to kill someone when they leave him no choice? And a knife in the back is so pedestrian for Bond. Some of these might have been interesting but the awful commentary removes all the dramatic effect. Like talking over the important cues and some of the most egregious uses of the words "point blank." I'm going to block this channel so I don't accidentally watch more episodes.
Shane Wright Poetic justice, you mean. But, yeah, it had to really piss Silva off to get stabbed in the back twice. Then die just as his eloborate plan for revenge was complete.
Craig holding down the dying man on the balcony. Craig looks around while waiting for the guy to die. That was pure cold-blooded Bond right there. Cold man, damn cold.
Where is the Moore kill from For Your Eye's Only? Where he kicks the car off the ledge. Also, the knife throwing from Octopussy. Both better than World is Not Enough nuclear rod kill.
In Goldeneye, Boris being cryogenically frozen after exclaiming, "Yess! I am, Invincible!", his trademark catchphrase. Maybe not a direct kill by Bond himself, but a consequence of Bond destroying the facility for sure. And memorable in its comic timing, a fitting end for a comedic villain that we all love to hate :-)

#1 is actually one of my faves........the beginning of Daniel as 007, and......the first time that an opening kill uses the "gunbarrel"........Casino Royale was a FANTASTIC entry in the Bond franchise..........
![BOWKYLION - วิงวอน (ex-change) [Official MV]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/cLdnZWDaO-w/mqdefault.jpg)
You didn't show the best part of Elektra King's deth:
-ELEKTRA: You wouldn't kill me. You'd miss me.
[She yells/ He shots her]
-BOND: I Never miss.
Yeah that was good!! Biotch!!!
That's because electra was a real poop, ( It's just a movie) and Bond has a lisence to eliminate at his discretion. 🔫
The best thing about this is seeing a bit of vulnerability from Piers Brosnan’s Bond. A speck of his humanity.
Basically Bond gratifying himself on the size and strength of his manhood. His walther PPK is merely an extension of his colossal manhood.
25 sins as she didn't get nude x
Tomorrow Never Dies: Dr Kaufman: "Im just a professional doing a job."
Bond: "Me too."
The best line of the movie
That’s my dads favorite along with the 2nd in The World is Not Enough where the gangster says that to his henchman
@@trmullins2 What does the gangster say to the henchman? I don't remember that movie so well.
Great film but the worst Bond actor. x
@@casper5379 Pierce Brosnan was a good Bond, but I can kinda see why you'd think that.
I think the casino royale one was really amazing because it really sets the tone plus they mixed his first kill with the gun barrel sequence which is pretty cool. I think it's the best intro to a bond movie ever.
That gunbarrel was sh!t plain and simple, there are some things you just don't screw with and having the traditional gunbarrel at the beginning is one of them. I HATED the gunbarrel sequences for the first 3 Craig films, HATED them.
@eating sugar no papa Casino Royale's opening was HORRIBLE, there are some things you just don't mess with. It would be just like a Star Wars film not opening with a title crawl, some things you just don't do. It's odd: Casino Royale opened with one of the worst moments in the whole franchise yet ended with one of the best moments in the franchise. It was kind of an uneven mess.
for me the classics carry so much old character that they cant be topped
Agreed.
Space Ace Quantum Of Solace: hello
what about the bomb maker kill at miami airport in casino royale?
ikr
Paddlez-is-king: Another creative one, it was shown offscreen though.
Paddlez-is-king Honestly that's my favorite kill of all time
Paddlez-is-king Yeh ikr
IKR
Roger Moore's "Car Kick" scene in For Your Eyes Only should have been on the list somewhere.
ikr "You left this with Ferrara, I believe."
Yes, but technically it didn’t kill the villain as he returned later in the same film
Nope he died
+P. Herrmann That's what I thought. After all, he had no head for heights.
“He had no head for heights.”
but you make Elektra's death less memorable when you talk over the dialog.
Yeah, would somebody shut that broad up already!! She gets so many things wrong. Towards end, she talking about Odd Job, then she says "Blowfeld from plane". When earlier they showed Blowfeld fall from landing thing of Helicopter NOT a Plane.
I can't believe the Car kick from "For Your Eyes Only" didn't make it. Roger Moore runs up those stone steps, huffing and puffing and then just kicks that guy off the edge of the cliff killing him. Personally my favorite Moore movie.
Right! Thats my favorite 2
I agree. That particular kill should have at least made it into the "honourable mention" section.
Yeah, that was Moore at his most cold blooded.
Personally, I like the one in The Spy Who Loved Me, where the guy is holding onto Bond's tie to keep from falling off a building. After getting the info he needs, Bond swats the tie out of his hand an lets him fall. Then he straightens the tie.
Ikr
Instead they put the Blofeld Death scene from the opening of FYEO lmao
I love how annoyed Silva looks when he gets stabbed
MikeMJPMUNCH Yeah, he has that "Seriously?" look on his face. It was definitely a highlight of SkyFall.
H. Dalby Well, sometimes the old ways are best. Why use a gun, when you can kill someone just as easily with a literal stab to the back?
JCBro2014 Yeah, I think that was one of the points they were trying to make with his death. With all the complex and intricate kills in Skyfall, a straight up knife to the back was the best way for Silva to depart.
MikeMJPMUNCH His face was like "No, not right now dude"....i love his reaction !!!!!
MikeMJPMUNCH
One of the most enjoyable Bond movie deaths for me was: "Yes! I am invincible!"
It's even funnier in German, as the voices of Boris and SpongeBob are the same in German. I never laughed this hard before.
kutzbill I know why
And two seconds later, he was IMMOVABLE!
From 'GoldenEye'...Nice choice!
Until he wasn’t 😂
The one in "The Spy Who Loved Me," where a henchman is holding onto his tie and Bond just nonchalantly sends him to his death.
Bond: "what a helpful chap."
it was Sandor
Milton Reid disappeared in '87 , man mustve been killed :(
It was one of Feckish's henchmen
Agreed, that was probably my favorite! Cold and funny at the same time.
Remember seeing Casio Royal for the first time in the cinema, was blown away by how brutal that first fight was and how realistic it was. Daniel Craig is simply the best James Bond ever!
Grant Kidd I'd disagree with that... a BRUTAL FISTFIGHT with REALISTIC coreography and the way our (supposed) hero BUTCHERS someone is really awesome... in an action movie like the Bourne trilogy, or any Expendables... But we are talking about James Bond...The witty one-liners and ridiculous kills (like the catapult seat, or no 2-3 on this list) are the ones we are looking for, and not the "general action hero" bullshit we've seen a thousand times from J.

Sir Pharsys
I really agree!
Although I really loved skyfall (but mainly because of Silva). I think Daniel is just a bit too cold, makes his romances unbelievable!
The From Russia with Love Bond / Red Grant train fight and kill deserves more than an honorable mention IMHO.
The way Terrence Young set up and choreographed that fight scene into a dirty vicious fight for survival is unforgettable.
"You won't be needing this...OLD MAN!" >:-(
Perfection.

Favourite Kill..... Random Henchman at Elliot Carvers Printing Press in Hamburg... falls into a Printing Press.... Bond: They print anything these days.
my favourite is Xenia in GoldenEye... She always did enjoy a good squeeze xD
Nilendra Perera how about the carver kill where he’s literally drilled
I always kinda liked the Duel kill between Bond and Scaramanga. The silence occasionally broken by Nick Nack trying to mess with Bond was a little intense. And then Bond delivering the final shot pretending to be a statue was cool.
The fight between Sean Connery and Robert Shaw in From Russia with Love is one of the all time movie fights.
I like to imagine them calling each other "Old Man" when they filmed Robin and Marian together.
The Train scene from RUSSIA WITH LOVE should be number 1. That one's just bad-ass!
Agreed--Sean Connery & Robert Shaw were spectacular . Stunt men were barely used, adding chilling brutality that was shocking for the time & holds up against any contemporary action movie.
LordoftheJimmy can’t think of many more brutal realistic fights bond has had that beat that. 2 equally matched men both trying to kill each other with their bare hands
Half expected Francisco Scaramanga to be on the list especially with the intense cat and mouse game
Nick McGill The cat and mouse part was definitely memorable though the climax is kind of stupid, with Bond posing as a statue of himself. Not out there enough to be amazing like the Kananga death either.
That should have been on here as well as Goldfinger's death.
RIP Christopher Lee
+Nick McGill (Mcgillotine) Trashy but a great movie.. Nostalgic
Thunderball....Bond shot Vargas with a speargun. Then he said, "I think he got the point."
Point taken.
“She always did like a good squeeze”
Still one of Bond’s best one-liners
I like the one in Live and let Die when Bond fights Tee Hee on the train and all that's left is Tee Hee's metal arm
You didn't include the camera guy? That one is basically the staple of the franchise!
***** The guy Bond shoots during the opening of every movie?
+Private First Class Lance Bean its both ... somehow :)
+Clara Going Bye Bye you dont know..its a spy' s game..i am just joking..however the gunbarrel thing is amazing..
+martijn van weele hahaha! classic comment here.
il est super cool
You are slagging Moore but you missed out him shooting Stromberg 6 times point blank or kicking Lockes car over the side of the cliff in FYEO?
Dave, Moore as a bad ass just never sold. He had some great scenes--Locke's death for example. But the director John Glen had to beg Moore to do the scene. It just wasn't Moore. BTW, I rank 'For Your Eyes Only' as one of the top ten Bond films, its that good.
R.I.P Roger Moore
R.I.P. Admiral Ackbar
He was my idol...
The old haggard was gone for good 😉😁😁
True
RIP Tracy and Drax
The death of the henchman of Sanchez in "License to Kill" was a good one. Bond framed him and Sanchez killed him by method of air pressure and blowing up.
I was just about to comment "Wondering where this death is..."

It dosen't count cause he wasn't killed by Bond himself
What about Dario's? That one was rough too
the final fight on the golden gate bridge between roger moore and
christopher walken + the perfect soundtrack = best bond scene of all
times
My personal favourite is Red Grant on the train in From Russia with Love. The fight scene that proceeded it was and still is one of the best and grittiest fight scenes ever, not only in the Bond franchise. It still looks as real today as it did then.
Oh dear they called gold finger a thief. He wasn't stealing the gold he was destroying it to boost the value in his own gold.
Vincent Coakley well he had to get it first didn't he? That kind of a technicality
Vincent Coakley Ty, a bond fan that know hes stuff (Y)
Vincent Coakley True, interestingly though in the novel Goldfinger had planned to steal the gold at Fort Knox but was changed for the film when the novel had received criticism for it being unrealistic that is why there is a scene in the film where Bond tells him the plan to steal the gold wouldn't work and why.
Vincent Coakley Not destroying it, but detonating a dirty bomb that would've irradiated all the gold in Fort Knox, making the entire facility and the gold inside inaccessbile.
Even if your not a fan you should still know, why else would he plant a nuclearbomb and then leave.
Dryden's death is most awesome. It's the sheer cold-bloodedness of Bond's reaction that makes it so great.
Bond shoots Elektra b/c she's ordering for the dive over the radio, which is what he's trying to stop. He still shows remorse for her death by brushing her face afterwards. Do your research for once, WatchMojo. Xenia's death is way better, imo.
I was disappointed with how they spun Oddjobs death too. No mention of Bond having to outsmart the guy because he was getting his ass kicked, or that the "loose electrical wire" was actually caused by one of his attacks (although they did show that).
It almost seems like they gave the premade video to some random person and said "narrate this" without them having any clue.
ah fu-
The other disappointment with Oddjob's death was the writer's use of "cooked like a steak" rather than the much more appropriate "cooked like Korean barbecue."
If they did their research you wouldn't get "helicopter skid" replaced with the hilarious "helicopter landing stick". LANDING STICK??? And you wouldn't get 006 falling to the floor of the "satellite".
I was ready to give you a thumbs-up before your last sentence.
I love how resolved the images are on those older movies made on the highest grade film. No pixels, just stunning!
I love it how zorin laughed before he died
I can think of ten better ones than most of those:
Whit and Kidd (Diamonds Are Forever)
That guy in that apartment where Bond stabs him in the back of the leg and holds him until he's dead (Quantum of Solace)
Benicio Del Toro getting ground up in Licence to Kill
Green being left in the desert to die (Quantum of Solace)
The fan in the bath (Goldfinger)
Largo's henchman getting harpooned (Thunderball)
Blofeld's henchman getting churned up in the snowchipper (OHMSS)
Peter Franks fight in the elevator (Diamonds Are Forever)
The exploding keyring (The Living Daylights)
Kicking the car off a cliff (For Your Eyes Only)
+Revelian1982 I agree, I thought Benicio's death was way more gruesome. He was literally shredded to pieces slowly and painfully because he was still gripping Bond's leg!
+Revelian1982 Never forget that the Blofeld peon had lots of guts.
well theoretically, Greene died because someone shot him ( they said they found him dead with 2 bullet holes) but it was a nice scene, I agree
Nano Yeah, you're right.

Night Club scene in Thunderball, "You mind if my friend sits this one out? She's just dead"!!!!! Classic!!!!
Bond didn't shoot her. This is a list of deaths he is responsible for.
But Bond did NOT shoot her. One of her own people shot her trying to shoot Bond. So Bond can't get credit for that kill.
It's possible (and debatable) that Bond positioned her to be shot by her henchman, so he did actually kill her.
Harry Lime That’s my favorite just for line. And even if he didn’t do it directly he was responsible.
It was still hilarious!
Too many Brosnans on this list and not enough Moore, plus your Licence to Kill scene was not even the best kill in that movie... that one should have been Benicio del Toro getting grinded up in the gears of the machine.
Fair enough
I would have gone with "you earned it, you keep it old buddy"
It's actually "ground", not "grinded."
Connery was the best Bond x
I was really hoping the toaster/bathtub kill would make the list. Oh well :-/
LostMercenary99 i know. shocking that it isn't on here
XD
I wondered why something smelled like burned toast ( don't judge that took me 7 mins to think!)
***** Fat people
***** Thought it was a heater
Absolutely agree with number 1, I love how he doesn't even let him finish his sentence.
"That's a Smith and Wesson and you've had your six" is the most iconic to me
The black and white open the killing of the contact when it goes into the song ,chills every time
I can't believe that the death of Necros in The Living Daylights isn't on here. That stunt is one of the best in the entire series.
+Salmoney true words
+Salmoney That one and killing Joe Don Baker via statue headbutt. The Living Daylights wasn't that bad of a Bond film. I think it gets a bum rap.
+AngryDave113 I actually find the death of Whittaker a bit anti-climactic, much like the death of Stromberg in the Spy Who Loved Me. Despite only being a henchman and having little to say, Necros is probably the best baddie in the entire film. The Living Daylights is actually one of my favorite, if not my absolute favorite, Bond film, largely due to being a fan of Dalton and his interpretation of the Ian Fleming Bond character.
Salmoney it couldnt really choose but dalton is in the top three or four for sure. Alltough i find licence to kill the more solid movie, i prefer daylights of the two. Its not just daltons portrayal..its the whole atmosphere. I love the scenesbin bratislava where he went for kara.. Talking of necros he is probably the strongest henchman there is..
+chopperbubba word :)
I remember seeing Kanangas death for the first time lol, it still makes me laugh!
Rens Kersbergen I wonder if there's a giant parade balloon of him?
Daenerys Targaryen Daenerys!
UnkeptMoss328 hi! :)
Daenerys Targaryen You changed your profile picture! :)
UnkeptMoss328 yep ;) pretty swish? :)
Even though it's lower on my rankings of films, For Your Eyes Only had that amazing car kick off the cliff. I was really hoping I'd see that here. Oh well.
Yeah pretty much the coldest of the Moore kills
Yeah it was so cold it almost didn't make it in to final cut... :/
That's a badass kill! !
Zach Litchman It was so cold that Moore himself disliked it. "He had no head for heights."
Zach Litchman I was thought it would make it too but after thinking about it, the build up was nothing special. That Countess lady was run over and Bond just runs up a bunch of stairs and shoots Emile Locque and kicks his car. It was very cold tho.
The Moore Bond flicks were "infamous?" WatchMojo is full of it and the list is too back-loaded.
you didnt mention the infamous "i am invincible" kill of boris in goldeneye, which bond was directly responsible for on a time delay since he damaged the nitrogen tanks if i remember right.
I had a good laugh after the nitrogen exploded towards the guy XD
One of my favorite James Bond Kills, I call it Burnt and Blown. Mr. Wint and Mr. Kidd posing as cruise ship room service waiters. After recognizing them through one of them's aftershave. Kidd tried to impale bond with two flaming skewers only to be splashed with wine burning him alive. Then Bond strapped Mr. Wint with the bomb then knocking him overboard and blew up before he splashed in the water.
Got to agree with #1 pick:
-How did he die?
-Your contact? ... Not well...
These kills are badass!
007:Shocking
Positively shocking
Dr Kauffman in "Tomorrow Never Dies"
"Wait, I'm just doing my job!"
"Me too"
BANG!
+Grzegorz Jońca :]
the man with the golden gun not in the honorable mentions? that was build up big
From the beginning of the movie it was building up to the end scene! It deserved to be here!
The only kill in that movie.. Then definitely!
Die Another Day dropping the chandelier on the henchman and sending the bad guy into a jet engine, Tomorrow Never Dies feeding its bad guy to the Sea Drill, The Living Daylights "He got the boot", etcetera.
+Samniss Arandeen Seriously! Not even an honorable mention for two of the most gruesome deaths in the entire franchise! Die Another Day is seriously underrated imo.
The kill from Tomorrow Never Dies as well.
*****
Another of my favorite kills, from Tomorrow Never Dies. Bond throws a mook into a printing press. "They'll print anything these days"
+Samniss Arandeen
Col. Moon: Time to face Destiny.
Bond: *pulls Moons para shoot* Time to face Gravity
+Haven Todd I gave it another chance recently. Although I thought initially that it was terrible, its gotten even worse with age. Excluding the overthetopness of the plot and action sequences, the dialogue was terrible, the acting was herendous and the story was not told all that well. As a video game, DOD would have been probably quite awesome (as was everything or nothing, bonds best game imo). But as a movie it just does not do the take on the bond universe. I really feel as if it deserves all the bashing it gets from everyone. But props to you if this kind of movie appeals to you...
Dragon1813
Syndrome's death with a horrible grinding noise.
I liked the list, but not the choice for number one. There were a lot more memorable Bond kills than that one (though the movie was great). For instance, certainly Auric Goldfinger's death was better than that one and should be included in this list. Or from The Spy Who Loved Me, with Naomi in the copter being blown up by the Lotus. Loque in For Your Eyes Only (Moore very cold-blooded and not comedic as he usually was). Gustav Graves in Die Another Day. On Her Majesty's Secret Service with that skiier falling to the snow blower and having his guts fly off. Many others.
I AM INVINCIBLE!!
Not a bond kill but still spectacular
Kicking the car off the cliff...
ya where is it
"Infamous Moore era" oh sod off.
Whoa - never realized that is Benicio del Toro in "License to kill". Great actor!
gapjunction11 he was so young!
NHMO OYTIS He was 21-year-old at time.
BORRIIIIIIIIIIIIISSSSSSSS!!! But seriously, a death by liquid nitrogen WASN'T on this list. Why?
Kim Jong Long Dong bond wasn't directly responsible for it.
8th wonder of the world No I think he was. you know with the whole exploding pen thing.
Kim Jong Long Dong that was indirectly.
8th wonder of the world Now that you say i it actually was. They now need to do a list of top ten indirect Bond kills.
maybe just top 10 bond villain deaths
Rope kill in Quantum of Solace was sick
Which one was that? I liked Quantum of Solace, but I really can't remember that one.
@@oldspice051 needed a moment to remember, its the betraying MI6 Agent in Sienna. Cool shot
@@maddinpictures3102 Ohhhh, yeah, that was cool!
The train fight on Spectre
yes!! with the rope at the end
This was posted in April, Spectre wasn't out
+Padfoot There is no train fight in Spectre, i think they're just f**king around
Axel Hasslow You must've seen a different film
+Axel Hasslow there was one it was his final fight with baustia
No Thunderball harpoon kill where Sean Connery goes "Well he got the the point"..Classic!!!
The killing of Locque in For Your Eyes Only. As bad ass as Roger Moore ever got in the role.
For Your Eyes Only is my favorite Moore film. And that death is probably the best moment in the whole movie.
I'd say it was actually Stromberg's death in Spy who Loved Me - the guy got shot in the groin TWICE and then twice in the chest.
@@gregseebregts2063 My thoughts too. I always thought this was the most serious I've ever seen Roger Moore as Bond as he uses his "licensed to kill" permit to point blank shoot and kill Stromberg.
Have you ever noticed how many cars go over those cliff roads in Europe, in movies? There have been alot in alot of movies over the years.
it should have been on the list at least if not n1
for England james
no for me
Christian Martin ?
Goldeneye.
Christian Martin Ridiculous how he survived... shouldve splattered all over the place
Zorin needed More Cowbell !! =))
You missed two of my favourites. The one when James Bond electrocutes the guy in the bath, and the one when the guy explodes because there is too much pressure.
but bond didnt directly kill him
Boris's Invincibility Nitrogen kill, which Bond is directly responsible for the malfunction.
Her Majesty Secret Service. The scene after bond escapes blofeld's headquarters, nighttime ski chase and Bond flips the henchman off the mountain with his ski. The "He's got guts" was gruesome too. However my personal favorite is Max Zorin off the Golden Gate bridge
The James Bond theme is the f**king awesome
I only need 1 round......GOLDEN GUN!!
xXThatGamerBoyXx // GamerBoy_529 you look more blonde in your movie baby. That's alright. Lets just keep it groovy baby.
I got the reference
Hmm, good list, but I reckon you missed one out. The kill at the start of Quantum of Solace probably deserves at least an honourable mention: with the whole chase beforehand, the falling scaffolding, the swinging ropes, then the final kill at the end of if all ... The film as a whole might gave flopped, but you can't deny that after this was a gripping fight scene. But then, that's just me.
Fair, always forget that I actually really enjoyed the opening of that film
Shame about the rest of it though.
***** I would have removed the Silva death and put that one in. The face Silva makes looks more like he stubbed his tow than he got a knife in the back.
As far as the QoS film as a whole goes, it is a great film especially when you consider it (what it is) as a direct sequel to Casino Royale. QoS is fast paced but the plot is fully there and more complicated than most of the people that dislike it give it credit for. It also does not have any glaring holes like "what the hell happened to the list of agents?"
***** I think Quantum of Solace would have been 100x better if the theme music came in after Bond shot Mitchell. Such a wasted opportunity.
+Matt Luke Totally agree, I'm not a big bond guy, but I loved the recent ones. I actually clicked on this hoping that one from Quantum would be in here.
Daniel Craig is probably one of my favorite bonds behind Connery of course
My Favorite is Pierce Brosnan.
all of them are awesome
I really REALLY hated Craig when he got selected as the new Bond.. but when i saw his first Bond Performance.. damn son, he really was a good Choice.
I liked the understanding and respect there was between Bond and Renard at the end.
I thought the scene from For Your Eyes Only would make it in where he kicks the car off the cliff edge with that guy still in it. But the scene I would pick as my favourite is the fight with Stamper. That guy was just evil.
how does shock kill odjob, but a 100% golden Ingot to the skull feels as light as a feather to him?
Why was Grants kill an honorable mention? That kill was amazing
Because Robert Shaw
Scaramanga's Death
The killing of Professor Dent (Dr. No) and Dr. Kaufmann (Tomorrow Never Dies) are two of the darkest kills in the franchise along with some of the ones listed in this video. Those two scenes make both of those films for me.
The transition from the contact's death to the theme in casino royale is so satisfying
"Helicopter landing stick" is called a skid.
9:57 When James Bond meets Final Destination
This is terrible. How is it shocking or cold-blooded to kill someone when they leave him no choice? And a knife in the back is so pedestrian for Bond. Some of these might have been interesting but the awful commentary removes all the dramatic effect. Like talking over the important cues and some of the most egregious uses of the words "point blank." I'm going to block this channel so I don't accidentally watch more episodes.
I️ sadly have to agree
The knife in the back for Silva was ironic justice because he sought to kill M for betraying him, or knifing him in the back, as it were
So it's mean backstab?
Shane Wright Poetic justice, you mean. But, yeah, it had to really piss Silva off to get stabbed in the back twice. Then die just as his eloborate plan for revenge was complete.
Pedestrian? Perhaps, but in trying to save M, there simply wasn't time for anything more creative.
Sandor's death in The Spy Who Loved Me is most memorable for me in its mercilessly casual manner. Just a flick of the wrist.
Number 3 on this list is my personal number 1. Some of these I didn't even know about and they're all fantastic
tomorrow never dies is certainly one of the more memorable.
Uh-uh, Roger Moore kicking the henchman off the cliff in 'For Your Eyes Only', even he had qualms about the ruthlessness of it.
oh come on watchmojo..!! Sean Bean deserved to be no1.. he is Sean Bean for god sake..!! he rules from LoTR to GoT..!!
Moon Rider that has to be the best fight scene in the franchise
He is Alec/006 right? Who was he in LoTR?
"Well he always did have an inflated opinion of himself." One of the funniest bond lines to this day.
Craig holding down the dying man on the balcony. Craig looks around while waiting for the guy to die. That was pure cold-blooded Bond right there. Cold man, damn cold.
Where is the Moore kill from For Your Eye's Only? Where he kicks the car off the ledge. Also, the knife throwing from Octopussy. Both better than World is Not Enough nuclear rod kill.
If Roger Moore had had a little more of the Timothy Dalton humourlessness and vice-versa I think both eras would have benefited.
Epic movies =james bond :-)
Aww come on! Tomorrow Never Dies with the drill?! That was epic!! It definitely was better than the Casino Royale one
10:02 You should have included the "YES! I'M INVINCIBLE!" part so that its complete
In Goldeneye, Boris being cryogenically frozen after exclaiming, "Yess! I am, Invincible!", his trademark catchphrase. Maybe not a direct kill by Bond himself, but a consequence of Bond destroying the facility for sure. And memorable in its comic timing, a fitting end for a comedic villain that we all love to hate :-)
Dario's death in license to kill
In my opinion, that's still the most gruesome Bond kill in any film
@@finnb2884 and his partner, pop his head in the chaimber 😂😂
@@iuripacheco3699 that one's second, Dario's hits more for me
R.I.P Sean Connery
Not even an honourable mention for Goldeneye's toilet kill? For shame WM
+The Black Watcher It has to be a KILL. Pistol whipping someone knocks them unconcious.
0:36 "That was a Smith & Wesson. And you've had your six." Understated, but very, very cool.
Great list! Many of these are less agent related and more personal, ie Silva, Dryden, and Alex trevelyan

Dylan Aylett yea he's the best James bond

roger moore was the best imo
He's the best actor playing James Bond. He's the worst James Bond.
#TeamMoore
I grew up with casino Royale when I was a kid. Awesome movie. And I love the song in the entrance.
#1 is actually one of my faves........the beginning of Daniel as 007, and......the first time that an opening kill uses the "gunbarrel"........Casino Royale was a FANTASTIC entry in the Bond franchise..........
