10 Best Scenes When Evil Movie Characters Turned Good

10. Jaws - Moonraker

Jaws (Richard Kiel) is one of the most iconic villains in the history of the James Bond franchise, a seemingly indestructible assassin-for-hire who won't think twice about using his steel teeth to make short work of his target.

Jaws first appeared in The Spy Who Loved Me as a more serious and imposing character, but after children wrote letters to director Lewis Gilbert asking why Jaws had to be bad, Gilbert decided to plot a face turn for the follow-up, Moonraker.

Though Jaws spends most of the movie working for megalomaniacal villain Hugo Drax (Michael Lonsdale), a number of comic relief scenes were written to soften his character, namely the introduction of a love interest by way of the adorably pint-sized Dolly (Blanche Ravalec).

But Jaws still remains in Drax's employ until the very end of the movie, when he realises that Drax's plan to exterminate "imperfect" beings would result in both his and Dolly's deaths.

At that moment, a mixture of conscience and self-preservation instinct kicks in, as Jaws incapacitates Drax's lackeys and teams up with Bond (Roger Moore) and Holly Goodhead (Lois Chiles) to help topple the supervillain.

Though many of Jaws' scenes in Moonraker are a little too goofy for their own good, his third act face turn absolutely isn't one of them, and helped cement him as a fan favourite for many 007 fans.
