This weekend, the new James Bond film "Quantum of Solace" raked in a
huge take of $67 million in America alone. For Scene-Stealers
sitegoer Will Dawson, this is very exciting. He's got a lot of
favorite Bond movies, but has instead, for us he decided to create a
list of the top 10 worst James Bond films from the franchise's 46
years. Some of these movies, says Will, have their moments, but for
the most part these are the Bond movies that there are just no
excuses for. And he didn't even include Timothy Dalton! I smell some
controversy … If you have an idea for your own Top 10 list you'd like
to submit, email me at eric@...! Will's list starts
now:

10. On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1969)

The problem with this movie isn't that the storyline or the
supporting cast is bad, in fact, that is far from it. The story and
the action sequences are actually some of the better ones in the
entire series. Diana Rigg is a very intriguing Bond girl and Telly
Savalas had probably the best characterization of villain Blofeld in
the entire James Bond franchise. The film's only problem can be
surmised in two words: George Lazenby. The one-time only Bond's
acting is so wooden and unbelievable that you keep hoping Sean
Connery is going to come in and save the day, but he doesn't, leaving
us with the mess that is Lazenby. Surprisingly, Lazenby wasn't fired
by the producers. He quit the role, claiming that Bond would become
something of anti-authority figure for the Vietnam generation.

9. The World Is Not Enough (1999)


The third in the Pierce Brosnan Bond series suffers from not enough
memorable moments. Robert Carlyle (one of my favorite actors) is used
ineffectively as the villain, and although Sophie Marceau is pretty
seductive as the other villain, it is Denise Richards who provides
the film's only memorable moments. (And by memorable, I mean
extremely annoying!) She is Dr. Christmas Jones. Richards has not
only has the worst Bond-girl name in the history of the franchise,
but she is also one of the worst actresses to portray a Bond girl.
Instead of coming off as sexy and stylish, she comes off trashy and
bitchy. Unfortunately, this isn't the only time an actress'
performance as a Bond girl has had mixed results at best. Really bad
Bond pun:

Bond: "I've always wanted to have Christmas in Turkey."

8. Diamonds Are Forever (1971)

After Lazenby left the role, Sean Connery returned as 007 in this
over-the-top outing that has a ridiculous plot, annoying Bond girls,
and very bizarre villains. The plot of the film revolves around
Blofeld (played this time by Charles Gray of "Rocky Horror Picture
Show" fame) trying to put diamonds in his laser beam to destroy the
world. Jill St. John is Tiffany Case, who is not only Denise Richards-
annoying, but also has absolutely no chemistry with Sean Connery.
Connery also seems to be bored in the role that made him a star; it's
probably a good thing that he took the money and ran. Note the
strange homosexual underscores between the two Bond henchmen, Mr.
Kidd and Mr. Wint. Here is an example:

Mr. Kidd: Well, they're both aboard, and I must say Miss Case seems
quite attractive… [Mr. Wint glares at him]
Mr. Kidd: …For a lady. [pause]
Mr. Kidd: Heh heh heh heh!

7. Live and Let Die (1973)

The first Roger Moore movie on this list and certainly not the
last, "Live and Let Die" combines plot elements taken from
blaxpoitation phenomenon "Shaft" and southern-hick TV comedies
like "Hee Haw". The stunts are unrealistic even for a Bond flick (In
one scene, Bond escapes by jumping on top of crocodiles!), and there
are definite racial overtones and stereotypes (The villains are all
black and Bond has to save a white woman from the clutches of the
evil black men). Another horrible thing about this film was the
introduction of Sheriff J.W. Pepper, a character that was created
possibly to make the Bond series "less British," which means "less
snobby" in the eyes of American audiences. On the plus side, Jane
Seymour (Oh, Dr. Quinn!) is incredibly hot as Solitaire and Paul
McCartney's theme song is pretty sweet.

6. Octopussy (1983)

This is the worst titled Bond movie of all time. In the film, Bond
(Moore again) travels to India and encounters the title character on
a manmade island where she trains women in "business." I'm uncertain
what follows next because the only thing I can remember are the
numerous double entendres as Bond makes references to Octopussy's
name and wonders how she got it (According to her, it was because she
had a fondness for octopi). Anyway, Maud Adams, who portrays our
title heroine, is too stiff and lacks the vital chemistry with Moore
that is needed in a Bond Film. However, this is Homer Simpson's
favorite James Bond movie as evidenced in this line from "The
Simpsons":

"You know what I like from you Brits, Octopussy. I must have seen
that movie [pause]….twice."

5. A View To A Kill (1985)

Moore's last outing as Bond is just as difficult to watch today as it
probably was back then (It came out two years before I was born.)
From the out-of-place Duran Duran title song, to the final scene atop
San Franciso's Golden Gate Bridge, this movie is one giant mess. It
certainly doesn't help matters that Moore was pushing 60 around the
time he was making this movie and looks out of shape and out of place
as our hero. Christopher Walken is miscast as Max Zornin, a supposed
Nazi superchild-turned-trained KGB agent. The convoluted plot
revolves around trying to destroy Silicon Valley. And then there's
Grace Jones. Moore, not surprisingly, later regretted to having taken
part in the production at all.

4. The Man With The Golden Gun (1974)

Britt Ekland as the most obnoxious Bond Girl? Check. A villian with
three nipples? Check. Hervé Villechaize (who you may know better as
Tattoo from TV's "Fantasy Island")? Check. The reappearance of the
obnoxious J.W. Pepper from "Live and Let Die"? Checkmate. This is a
desperate and bad Bond movie. Moore's second outing as Bond is so
strange that I really don't know what to think of it. On the one
hand, it is unintentionally hilarious. On the other hand, it's so
damned weird. Just thinking about Christopher Lee taking off his
shirt and revealing his third nipple makes me cringe. And
seriously, "the Plane!! the Plane!" guy from "Fantasy Island" as a
Bond henchman? What the hell?

3. Moonraker (1979)

Alright, I know it seems that I'm knocking Roger Moore unfairly, but
I'm not. It just so happens that the majority of Bond Films that
Moore were in were extremely corny and unbelievable, and this
definitely is the most unbelievable of them all. Trying to cash in on
the "Star Wars" phenomenon, the producers decided to put Bond in
space, with horrible results. From meeting Lois Chiles, who portrays
Dr. Holly Goodhead as though she's merely reading her lines, to a
battle between U.S. Space Marines and Hugo Drax's henchmen, this
movie is another great travesty in the history of Bond movies. Not
even the reappearance of Jaws (Richard Kiel) from 1977's "The Spy Who
Loved Me" could save this movie from the cheesiness that
characterized Moore's absolute worst outing as Bond.

2. You Only Live Twice (1967)

This is my least favorite of the Connery Bond films mostly because
this Bond film is the first bad movie in the series. There is too
much gadgetry that serves no point, the Bond girls are completely
unmemorable, and the plot involving Blofeld (this time played by
Donald Pleasance of "The Great Escape" and "Halloween" fame) trying
to use his laser to bring about world destruction is ridiculous.
However, not any of these moments can compare to the one where Bond
has to undergo plastic surgery to look like a Japanese local. Not
only does Connery not even remotely resemble a Japanese person, but
he also comes across as a dumb stereotypical Caucasian male trying to
impersonate a person of Asian descent. Offensive? Oh, yeah. However,
this was only the worst Bond movie until…

1. Die Another Day (2002)

From Madonna's horrible title song, to Halle Berry's messy
performance as Jinx (Berry supposedly was to get her own franchise
after "Die Another Day" was completed!), this movie is one giant
stinking pile of shit. If you want to talk about all the things that
are wrong about James Bond movies—well here they all are. Awful
villains (including a man who has a diamond-incrusted forehead), an
over-reliance on CGI (a car chase in a melting ice hotel), blatant
product placement (including one close-up of a Norelco electric
razor), and badly misused actors (examples include Pierce Brosnan as
Bond, Michael Madsen as a Felix Leiter knockoff, and Madonna's
horrible two-minute cameo as—get this—a fencing instructor) make this
the dismally worst one in the series. The good thing that came out of
this crapfest was the complete reboot of the franchise— a new version
of "Casino Royale" with Daniel Craig. This is also the last
appearance of M's secretary Miss Moneypenney, whose constant
flirtatious tension with Bond was a regular feature of most Bond
films. In "Die Another Day," she is seduced by Bond … by way of
virtual-reality glasses. How horrible. Truly a new low.
