"Best & Worst James Bond Baddies."

Having watched a few 007 films on dvd over the festive period got me thinking....

The best baddie: Has to be Francisco Scaramanga from 'The Man With The Golden Gun'.
He has it all; a nice line in blue safari suits and tight fitting track-suits, a beautiful and exotic island lair run by solar power, a flying AMC Matador, a nice boat, a golden gun and Nick Nack, his very own mini-manservant.
Runner up: Mr.Big/Dr.Kananga from 'Live & Let Die'.("Names is for tombstones baby")

The worst baddie: Aris Kristatos from 'For Your Eyes Only'.
Boring looking old bloke who looks like someones uncle with a cliched Nordic-beefcake-assassin side-kick, chasing after the ATAC, a very boring looking missile control device (looks more like an old shop money till or speak & spell).

Yep, it will be as if you had pulled my beard most mightily...

"That Voodoo guy" is Baron Samedi.
From the film with Mr Big "Take this honky out back and waste him" and Tee-Hee (the bald dude with the claw-hand)

Live and Let Die is the best.

Worst Bond villain: Jonathan Price.
Best: That voodoo guy.

Jaws was good until he fell in love and became a goodie, at which point he lost all credibility as a bad guy. If he had put his foot down and said "no way I am the best bad guy bond has ever faced. You can't inflict this plot-line on me!" then I would have given him top position. But he didn't.

Oddjob rocks. He is the best and he has a razor sharp hat. And Cuba Gooding Jr looks worryingly like him, from a distance. If you get a chance to see "Instinct" (I think that's what it was called) switch it on 20 minutes from the end and look out for a long shot of CGJ sitting next to Anthony Hopkins in a prison cell. If there's ever a request for a new oddjob in a bond film then just make sure he's only involved in long-range shots and use Cuba Gooding Jr.

Jaws was a good baddie, not only was he about 7 foot tall, he had gold teeth and he was quite funny in moonraker. The witch Dr person in Live and Let Die was good as well.

Don't say anything bad about anything to do with Lord Of The Rings or Pixie here will get red-faced and angry.

Sean Bean is the best! Don't dare criticise him, or I'll...um...er...

Trevelyn was good, had an aannoying way of talking though. Damn Sean Bean :-D

I thought Alec Trevalyan and Auric Goldfinger were classic.

Because Scaramanga was spoilt for choice when it comes to distinguishing baddie features - hence he is the best.
