28 October 2009 595 views No Comment

What is it that makes us want to be James Bonds? Is it his looks? His wit? The expensive cars? The cool gadgets? The traveling? The fact that he’s a killing machine and has a license to kill??? No… It’s the women. We can’t even imagine what a James Bond movie would be without a Bond Girl, but let us tell you, it would suck ass.

This brings us to our next question: Who was the best, sexiest, coolest Bond Girl of all time? Well, we decided to watch every single Bond movie ever made and rank the top 25, here are the results…

#24 Holly Goodhead
Lois-Chiles

#22 Christmas Jones
denise-richards

Actress: Denise Richards

Bond: [in bed with Jones] I was wrong about you.
Christmas: Yeah, how so?

Camille: You’re late!

#17 Pam Bouvier
carey-lowell

Actress: Carey Lowell

Which movie: Licence to Kill

Why we like her: No doubt she’s hot and she did pull off the short haircut thing (most girls can’t), but she didn’t shut up through the whole movie. Nagging lands her at spot 17.

[after Bond has introduced Pam as his executive secretary Miss Kennedy]
Pam: It’s Ms. Kennedy. And why can’t you be my executive secretary?
Bond: We’re south of the border. It’s a man’s world.

Actress: Claudine Auger

Which movie: Thunderball

Why we like her: She gets extra points for bad-girl-turned-good allure.

Bond Dialogue:
Bond: My dear, uncooperative Domino.
Domino: How do you know that? How do you know my friends call me Domino?

Bond girl fact: Luciana Paluzzi, who played Fiona Volpe, was also considered for the role of Domino.

#15 Wai-Lin
Michelle-Yeoh

Actress: Michelle Yeoh

Which movie: Tomorrow Never Dies

Why we like her: She is probably the only Bond Girl that could actually kick Bond’s ass.

Bond Dialogue:
Wai-Lin: They’re looking for us, James.
Bond: Let’s stay under cover.

Bond girl fact: Michelle Yeoh, who did most of her own stunts, asked her fellow motorbike stuntman to drive faster in the helicopter chase scene as it would make her hair fly out behind her, adding to the effect of speed.

Bond Dialogue:
Melina: [as Bond begins to open up her light blue robe] For your eyes only, darling…

#11 Solitaire
jane-seymour

Actress: Jane Seymour

Which movie: Live and Let Die

Why we like her: She plays a mysterious and beautiful tarot card reader who loses her innocense to Bond’s charm… that’s pretty hot. (Can you believe Jane Seymour used to look like that???? We either!!!)

Bond Dialogue:
[Bond has just explained the first two Lover's Lessons to Solitaire]
Solitaire: Is there time before we leave, for Lesson number 3?
Bond: [undressing] Of course. There’s no sense going out half-cocked.

#8 Aki
Akiko-Wakabayashi

Actress: Akiko Wakabayashi

Which movie: You Only Live Twice

Why we like her: Hot Japanese agent, she kicks ass and look damn fine doing it. Besides, she dies to save James Bond, you have to give her some extra credit for that.

Bond Dialogue:
Aki (to James Bond): I think I will enjoy very much serving under you.

Bond girl fact: Akiko could not drive a motor-vehicle so six stuntmen created the illusion of her driving the white Toyota 2000GT convertible by attaching a cable and pulling it from outside frame.

#7 Miranda Frost
Rosamund-Pike

Actress: Rosamund Pike

Which movie: Die Another Day

Why we like her: Is she good? Is she bad? … Turns out she was a bad baaaad girl.

#4 Octopussy
maud-adams

Actress: Maud Adams

Which movie: Octopussy

Bond Dialogue:
[Bond is in traction]
Octopussy: I wish…
Bond: What?

[Bond releases himself from traction]
Octopussy: Oh, James.

#2 Elektra King
sophie-marceau

Which movie: The World is Not Enough

Why we like her: The hottest of the evil Bond Girls, thanks to her we hardly even noticed Denise Richards was in this movie also. (Sophie also made our sexiest women over 40 list!)

Bond Dialogue:
Elektra: “You can’t kill me. You’ll miss me.”
Bond: (shoots her) “I never miss…”

Bond girl fact: Sophie’s breast can be seen in her bed scene between Elektra King and James Bond. This happens just after Bond says “Enough ice for one night”. Apparently, the glimpse has been airbrushed out so it cannot be seen in the trailer and remains only in the film itself.

#1 Honey Ryder
Ursula-Andress

Actress: Ursula Andress

Which movie: Dr. No

Why we like her: In the film’s most unforgettable sequence, Bond awakened to the sound of a girl’s voice singing “Underneath the Mango Tree.” On the Crab Key beach rising Venus-like from the water with giant seashells that she was poaching, Bond had his first view of Honey Ryder, an innocent, voluptuous native island girl/diver wearing a sexy, white bikini and hunting knife… It was better than porn.

Bond Dialogue:
Honey: “What are you doing here? Looking for shells?”
Bond: “No, I’m just looking.”

Bond girl fact: Her voice was dubbed due to her heavy Swiss accent.

So, did we leave anyone out? (Please don’t send any “Where’s Teri Hatcher?” emails, we thought she was lame and boring as a Bond Girl.
