Wheres the rest of them?

e.g.

The merits of each Bond girl
The Pros and Cons of The Aston Martin DB5
Lotus vs Goldsfingers Rolls Royce - discuss
Which Bond would win at poker?
Which Bond looks better in a polo shirt?

There are at least another 10,000 threads you could think of

I know.....

I don't know why you go through so much effort just to deride the posts I make, Higgins.

Anyway.

Best - Tania Romonova, then Pussy Galore
Worst - Tiffany Case
Underrated - Till Masterson
Overrated - Honey Ryder

(There really is some beef between these two forum members here huh? :P )

Anyway, best would probably be Honey Ryder, Pussy Galore or Tatiana Romanova.
But my favorite would be Domino Derval !! ;%

Kissy is probably the worst one...

I have nothing against him. I respect his tenacity (lol). I'm just puzzled why he would go through all this effort just to try to rattle me.

Do Bambi and Thumper count?

Absolutely_Cart

Yes but you have to rank them separately

Aki was the best, hence my severe dislike of her demise.

You mean to say the best in the Connery era? Or just in YOLT?

Colonel Shatner

I'd say, on hindsight, Aki was the the 3rd or 2nd best Bond lady in the Connery films and the most likable character in YOLT (her poisoning was creepy and so, so, so sad ).

She was one of the few Bond girls who died (other than Bond's wife) who actually served a good purpose in the film. She was also one of the few who Bond seemed to actually care about.

Yeah, Bond depicted a borderline psychopath, used to death and tragedy, expressing silent grief really well.

Don't forget about Vesper's suicide leaving a massive indent on Craig's Bond and a doomed Anders driving her film forward with her bid to escape, also thoroughly heartbreaking.

Penfold Heart

I think we may have missed Dink.

I rank Domino as No.1 though.

flybyknight

Easy.Tatiana Romanova.

DR NO-ah

Colin! I didn't realise you had signed up! Also you have a tonne of explaining to do when we get to Diamonds Are Forever....

Wadsy

Best would be Tanya in FRWL, worst is easily Tiffany Case

Agent Purple

For me, it's something like this:

Pussy (the queen of Connery Era BGs for me)
Fiona (Badass femme fatale)
Silvia (Bond introduction scene, anyone?)
Tiffany (could've been a better character, but I feel Jill did what she could with it)
Domino (good character, but I don't feel Claudine did that great of a job with her, but at least she's an interesting BG overall)
Aki (she's alright for my taste)
Honey (first main BG, but I'm just not a big fan of her)
Nurse in TB (had she more screen time, she might beat Honey and Aki for me)
Tatiana (for being the main BG in TB, I found her bland)
The "Japanese wife" (she's just "there")
Plenty O' Toole (bad character, badly acted)

chrisisall

For the bad girls, and I know EVERYONE likes Fiona the best, MY pick is Helga. So, YOLT has my favourite good AND bad Bond girls! -{

Interesting. What are your thoughts on the scene when they and 007 start to get it on and he says "Oh, the things I do for England."?
