1. Dr. Julius No - Dr. No
Something that really makes for good, memorable villainy is when bad guys are brought down by their best trait. Search your feelings, you've seen it a million times and know it to be true. It's that moment in a story when the thing they placed most confidence in betrays them and their eyes get the carpet be pulled from underneath them look that is most satisfying to the audience. Sure, you could also just shoot your villains and be done with it, but that wouldn't mean anything. It wouldn't have any emotional resonance. Just take Dr. Julius No in his namesake Bond film Dr. No for example. He is movie Bond's first experience with SPECTRE and is scary because of his metal hands. However, in the end, as the island around him goes nuclear he gets lowered into a reactor filled with boiling coolant and cannot get out because his clawing hands of steel cannot grab the edge properly. An instant classic. Did we miss any classic Bond villain deaths that should have made the cut? Share your own picks below.
