I actually like Le Chiffre's demise in Casino Royale the most. It's a very powerful scene, as Le Chiffre is framed as the Big Bad villain throughout the movie -
- and then his fearful inquisitiveness when he hears the muffled thump of gunshots in the next room - BAM, the door opens - "the money isn't as important to our organization as knowing who to trust" - and a Bigger Badder villain plugs him in the head. I thought it was rather chilling, and hinted toward a future setup for a SPECTRE-like organization.
It didn't have the drama or spectacle of, say, being sucked out of an airplane window at high altitude, but I found it to be the most dramatically effective of the villain departures.
Red Grant's death by garotte on the Orient Express was the best send-off Bond took a hand in; loved the way Rosa Klebb gasped her end...and Goldfinger getting sucked out of the jet was and still is classic!
Not a villain, but I always like the way The Gas Works Supervisor in TLD was killed off..........by Rosika Miklos with her.................chest!
He certainly did go out in style! )
?:) But he didn't die--remember, Rosa pushes him away, zips up her jumpsuit, and says, "I'm not that kind of girl!" Admittedly, blue bezants can be painful, but they're not fatal!

I was always under the impression that he did die, of suffication, because the look on his face after she pushes him onto the chair certainly looks like he is dead! :v
Oh well, you've cleared a few things up there Hardy! {[]
I am putting together a Bond Villains death elimination game at the moment. I currently have 25 deaths of all major villains and some henchmen. Any henchmen/women suggestions. I feel like the list could get overpopulated pretty quick...let me know if you have any thoughts
My favourite deaths are Oddjob (he blew a fuse), Necros (he got the boot) and Mr. Wint and Mr. Kidd (he (Wint) certainly left with his tail between his legs).
Kidd going all ablaze was spectacular and Wint's demise after was great. He never even hit the water before the bomb tied to him exploded.
Dario being grinded up in the industrial grinder. I thought the head explosion scene was much but damn that was the goriest Bond movie death ive seen ever. I doubt it we will see a future Bond film with that level of violence again.

If i remember right, Benicio Del Toro was still in his teens in LTK. if he was as well known then as he is now then he wud have been the main villain instead of Robert Davi.

Come to think of it.. The Benicio Del Toro as we know him nowadays would make a great main Bond villian in the movies of today!

I disagree. I loved Scaramanga as a villain and he deserved a cooler or more stunning way to die. Moore just shot him..
Plus, it wasn't hard to anticipate that Bond was going to take the mannequin's place.
Pitty he could be toppled so easily.
definately my favorite death, Brosnan was great in delivering that line
He is dropped from the dish and falls onto solid concrete. Somehow survives the agonising pain only to be crushed by his own creation.

She changes her mind and comes back for more.
It rivals a Paris Hilton tape -- and the poor supervisor suffers a fatal heart attack

AVTAK - Zorin's plummet from the Golden Gate Bridge.
FRWL - Red Grant's tussle with Bond.
TND - The guard who ends up in the newspaper printer.
TLD - Nikros 'getting the boot'.
Good choices but you missed out Alec in GE
