Worst Villain Deaths

in The James Bond Films
One of my favourite parts of a Bond film is the villain death, but sometimes I've been left disappointed with them.

-Dr No - pretty bland really, he gets more of a henchmen death.
-Largo - pretty bland as well.
-Stromberg - I would much rather have him eaten by his sharks than simply shot.
-Le Chiffre - anti climatic. Could have been a great villain if he had a death to match.

    I thought the death of Dr. No and Le Chiffre were perfectly fine.

    Kristatos. I've always found his Death a bit anti-climatic. There was an Opportunity to have him fall off the Mountain after a Punch up with Bond -{

    I didn't have a problem with the weather during his death scene. :D As for being anticlimactic, there were already a number of falls: Locque, a henchman during the climb and Eric Kriegler. If Kristatos also fell off a cliff it would have been overdone. He deserved a more special death. Having someone other than Bond kill him made it unique enough.

    Carver getting turned into Dog food by the Drill, I quite enjoyed. :D

    And it's Poetic Justice that Bond repeats to him what Carver had been saying throughout the Film -{

    Kristatos and Silva have the same death. I've just realised this.

    But Kristatos doesn't make that bizarre Noise like Silva does :))

    Kristatos' death is exactly the same as Largo's death, just with a different tool. Silva dies by the same method as Kristatos, but the execution is different.

    Didn't like Carvers death. It seemed as crass as everything else in the film? Watching his blood splatter wasn't very Bondian. Didn't Stamper get a knife in him as well..

    He did, but shrugged it off.

    Agreed, though it's a shame that Dr No's death in the novel couldn't have been filmed (maybe someday...?). I was quite happy that Le Chiffre died very much as per novel.

    Dr Kananga's death was very strange and a rather disappointing end to a good character. :#

    True, his (Mr Big's) death in the novel is so much better.

    I liked No's death. His strength ended up being his weakness. Hoisted by his own petard.
    Have you ever heard of the Emancipation Proclamation?"

    How 'bout the death of Mr. Wint in Diamonds Are Forever--stuffing a bomb down his pants, which causes him to squeal in campy delight, and then sending him somersaulting over the railing of a ship?

    Agreed :(

    But it's a very memorable Death for me personally.

    What about Greene? Is it the only villains death that we do not actually see?

    We don't see Koskov's?

    Koskov's Fate is never made clear. He could have been imprisoned for all we know.
