Goldeneye - 007 vs 006


One of the best fights of the "new" bond era. Bond goes Mano-a-Mano with M16's own 006, now a rogue agent with a hatred for 007. A couple things make this movie great. Sean Bean as 006 plays the ultimate is-he-good-or-bad-guy as his performance in this movie oozes a hatred for Bond. Pierce Brosnan in his first role as James Bond does a great job, but for those of you who owned a Nintendo 64 and played the game, the movie is just 10 times better. I don't know what it is, it's just better.


In this scene Bond and Trevelyan fight atop a tiny platform high above a satellite dish, as 006 is strangles 007, he gets distracted by the escape chopper. Bond headbutts and kicks him off, but grabs his leg before falling. Alechttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif asks Bond one last time, "for England James?" Bond replies, "no, for me" and lets go. Alec falls to bottom, miraculously still alive, but severely injured(probably paralyzed). Bond jumps onhttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifto the Helicopter before the platform collapses and falls on top of Trevelyan, crushing him. But, why would Bond let go of Alec when he was helplessly dangling by his feet? Because he's got a License to Kill, that's why.

Goldfinger - James Bond vs Oddjob


Oddjob. Auric Goldfinger's personal chauffeur, bodyguard, golf caddy, and deadly assassin. Armed with a razor-sharp bowler hat that he uses as a lethal flying disc, Oddjob has become one of the most iconic henchman in Bond history. Extremely strong and nearly invincible, Oddjob smiles as he pummels Bond in a locked vault at Fort Knox. Oddjob is fearless, he knows he's going to die in the vault when the nuclear device explodes, but he is loyal to Goldfinger and knows that he must stop Bond from disarming the bomb. There's only one thing Oddjob is afraid of, his own razor-sharp hat. Bond attempts to use his own hat against him. Bond misses Oddjob with the throw, causing his hat to get stuck between the metal bars. When Oddjob goes to retrieve his hat, Bond dives for a severed electric cable and connects it to the metal, causing a lethal current to run from the bars through the metal hat to Oddjob, killing him. In the novel, Oddjob gets sucked through an airplane window, much like Goldfinger's death in the film. The best difference in the novel though would have to be Oddjob's taste for cats, yum!

Live and Let Die - Mr. Big Goes Boom!

One of my personal favorite Bond movies of all time, Live and Let Die had it all. Voodoo, pimps, drugs, Paul McCartney, alligators, sharks, rednecks, speedboats, afros, new villians, human scarifice, and one of the best Bond kills ever. The only thing missing was Q. In the final showdown, Bond and Mr. Big go at it in a pool filled with man eating sharks. Bond manages to put a pellet of compressed air in Mr. Big's mouth, it detonates and inflates him to the ceiling before exploding into pieces. The following line ensues after being asked what happened to Kananga, "he always had an inflated opinion of himself."

Temple of Doom - Heart Rip Scene


One of the best all-time violent scenes from a PG rated movie. This clip from Temple of Doom is the main reason why we have a PG-13 rating. To this day, the scene is still censored in the UK. If it's one thing Spielberg and Lucus know how to do, it's how to off someone. Mola Ram chants to the Hindu goddess Kali for a human sacrifice. He then rips out our victims' heart and lowers him into a lava pit. As the victim descends into the hot magma, the still beating heart in Mola Rams' hand burst into flames. So let's recap: guy gets his heart ripped out, then is lowered into a vat of molten lava while still somehow alive. Now that's a movie death! Here's is the loose Hindu translation to Mola Rams chant:

bali chadhoge - (you) will be put up for sacrifice

bali mangti kali ma - mother kali asks for sacrifice

mukti degi kali ma - mother kali will give you freedom

kali ma (3 times) - mother kali

shakti de - give power/strength

bali chadhaoon tere aage - presenting sacrifice before you

sweekar karo - accept it (please)
