She is only useful as an employee if she still has her talents, which she only keeps if she remains a virgin. In Live and Let Die Bond meets Solitaire, a tarot card reader in the employment of notorious gangster Mr Big. It’s a very cold and over the top death for this villain, especially considering Greene is not one of the villains who has hurt Bond by killing his wife, leading his second great love to her death in Venice, or by turning from best friend into betrayer – all of whom have had much quicker deaths or even have been let off the hook entirely! ‘I bet you make it twenty miles before you consider drinking that.’ he quips. It’s a cruel, and unnecessary death, made worse by how Bond uses it to taunt Elektra’s lover Renard shortly afterwards.īond drops Dominic Green in the middle of his own desert with nothing but a can of motor oil.

Now I think it’s fair to say that Bond had a reasonable amount of feelings for Elektra, but even putting that aside, he unnecessarily kills her in front of a family friend, M.

If you haven’t checked out James’s site, I would highly recommend it!īond is one of my all-time favourite characters, and is undeniably one of the silver screen’s biggest and best heroes he always saves the day, and is (often) undeniably cool whilst doing so. It was great fun, and I think that James put together a fantastic post, pointing out the difficult things that you see throughout the Bond films. I want to thank everyone who followed it and got involved with it and put their opinions out there.
