With the new Spectre trailer causing a host of excited murmurings, the legendary Bond franchise's fan base is now once again enlivened by the stunning possibilities a 007 movie can produce. It's undoubtedly an exciting time for fans of the series; under the hardened, gritty lead of Daniel Craig, the Bond series looks set to continue along its impressive recent path. Casino Royale and Skyfall have injected the James Bond franchise with a maturity not seen since the Timothy Dalton days, now blended with the weight of cutting-edge direction and cinematography behind it. But things haven't always been this way. For all of James Bond's good points, when it gets it wrong, it gets it spectacularly wrong. For every good film in the series, there's at least one rotten egg to drag it down. From terrible acting performances to outrageous storylines, one-dimensional villains to overblown action sequences, the Bond franchise flirts as heavily with disaster as its hero does with pretty much every woman he comes across. Here are ten of the most catastrophic efforts ever produced by the iconic series, reminders that even though under Sam Mendes things can be great, we're only ever one invisible car away from another reboot.
