best bad bond girl

I was watching Thunderball the other night and was really impressed by bond bad girl Fiona Volpe played brilliantly by Luciana Paluzzi.Other than Bond she is the best character in the movie. A bad Bond girl needs to be both sexy and also a brutal killer and Fiona does both great.These are a few of her best assets.
sexy bond girl
1. Her scene in the bathtub where bond gives her
only slippers to put on is one of the best in
the series.
2. Her and Bond in bed when Bond tells her she
should be put in in a cage. WOW!!!!
and then bad bond girl
1. Her scene when she seduces Major Derval and
then kills him. wicked
2. She bosses around count Lippe and then when he
messes up she chases him around in a
motorcycle and then shoots him with a
machine gun that is mounted on it. nice!
3. While smoking a cigarette and shooting
skeet she tells Largo that she will kill
Bond when the time is right, and Largo
does not argue with her. love it!!
4. When she picks up Bond in the mustang and
blazes down the winding road it is one of
the few times that Bond auctually looks a
little scared,and should be!!

Anyway Luciana just jumps off the screen and I would nominate her as the best bad Bond girl in the series. What does everyone else think and which bad bond girl do you think is the best.

    bacaret, I could not have said it better myself.

    All hail Luciana!

    IMO the undefeated champion of Bond bad girls.("Strange as it may seem, I've grown accustomed to your face.")

    Runners-up? Rosa Klebb. Irma Bunt. Xenia Onnatop. Three ladies best left undisturbed.

    Special Mention: Naomi from TSWLM. Could you imagine Munro in the lead instead of Bach?

    Once again. Fiona Volpe rules. ("Careful, Mr. Bond, careful.")

    Rosa Kleb- Lotte Lenya was perfect.

    I think Xenia Onatop was a great bond girl baddie. :D

    I wouldn't call Grace Jones one, either. But yet, for some reason, she always gets downed as the worst. I guess because Bond bedded her. To me, she was just one in a long line of freakish villains ala Jaws/NickNack/Oddjob. Who just happened to be female.

    I agree FIona was the best of the bad girls

    I loved Rosa Klebb also but I would not consider her a true Bond girl because she does not have any sex appeal, which Fiona has in spades!!!!

    She actually was pretty hot in her youth. Had sort of a Pat Benatar bad girl look about her. Guess that's why they mentioned her in "Mack the Knife".

    the best - Bond Bad girl is without a doubt

    Famke Jansen as Xenia Onatop ... shes cool. sexy , beutiful, aluring , classy , dangerous and lethal ...

    Add me to the list who think Luciana Paluzzi was the best of the Bad Bond Girls. In addition to being drop dead gorgeous her accent was playfully devilish and, even better yet, that was her real voice. Nice to see Fiona Volpe getting some well deserved props.

    That's my pick. Just fabulous :x

    Rosa Klebb was, IMO, a great villain. Period.

    Fiona Volpe was certainly tops, of course I always enjoyed Naomi from TSWLM...and would we consider Agent XXX as a Bond bad girl??? I suppose not.

    So for me Fiona and Naomi are my top bond bad girls followed closely be Xenia Onatopp.

    On the other hand, Vesper is kind of a bad girl...doing the whole traitor thing (although she was a pawn) :v

    Gorgeous Luciana Paluzzi's Fiona Volpe always gets my vote.She's beautiful and sexy and completely without remorse--and 007 doesn't impress her at all:"The great James Bond..." she sneers prettily.Fiona's the template for all of the other similar sexy bad girls like Xenia--but in my book Miss Volpe's still the best of them all.

    Luciana Paluzzi is also my pick for the best bad Bond girl. She is special in so many ways, but her red hair is probably her best feature. I always loved the line where Bond says to her "You don't think that gave me any pleasure, do you?" One wonders if Bond was telling the truth there.

    Not only did Luciana inspire other great bad girls like Xenia, but also Naomi from TSWLM. I know she was not as "hands on" and confrontational as the others, but she was deadly. The scene where Bond, posing as Anya's husband, first meets Naomi is classic. It is obvious that Bond is enjoying Naomi's company even though he is supposed to be married. Naomi probably knows they are a fake couple but she plays along anyways in her interactions with Bond.

    Also, Jenny Flex from AVTAK is another stunning bad girl, but she is unfortunately barely in the film.

    I never really considered Vesper is she a bad Bond girl or just a pawn. I will say that her character had as much depth as any other Bond girl bad or not...B-)

    Hands down Lucianna Paluzzi as Fiona Volpe. Gorgeous, tough, sexy, and smart.
  • cishicishi Posts: 2MI6 Agent
    For me it would the first Bond girl ever, Ursula Andress [Dr. No]

    The scene wherein she's singing in the beach is the most remarkable for me...;%

    Granted, she is remarkable, but she isn't a "bad" Bond girl. This thread is looking for the best "bad" Bond girl.

    Regardless, welcome to AJB.

    Fiona Volpe, best bar none.
    Lucianna Paluzzi(forgive me if the spelling is wrong) is absolute dynamite. She was twenty-five years old when she made Thunderball and she just knocked my socks off.
    She was bold, tough, smart, independent and every bit as lethal as Bond himself. Her best scene forme is when she turns Bond over to Vargas and Yanni, throwing his egotism right back in his face.
    "You didn't think I enjoyed myself, did you?" He asks her.
    Yes, Mr. Bond, I think you did.
    Fiona Volpe, best of the bad
