10 Most Ridiculous James Bond Villain Schemes

4. Starting A Master-Race Isn't All That Easy - Moonraker

The Plan: Destroy the entire human race from a space station before coming back down to create a super race once the virus has worn off. Hugo Drax hates the world and just about everyone in it. Instead of just moaning to anyone who will listen like the rest of us, he decides to take matters into his own hands and wipe out the human race to start afresh with a select race of genetically perfect specimens (himself included of course). Yep, one man has his own space programme and launches himself into orbit in what is quite possibly the most ridiculous of all James Bond films: Moonraker. Planning to poison all of the human life on earth after discovering a rare toxin, Drax would then make his way back to Earth after the dust has settled and enjoy some peace and quiet with his "master race". He doesn't seem bothered that human-eating predators will now have free reign when he goes back down nor would there be any people on the ground to help him land his spacecraft. And if you think that core 'start the world afresh' plan is outlandish (as well as a rip-off of previous Bond film The Spy Who Loved Me), just wait until you hear about the laser battle in space between James Bond and the American armed forces against Drax and his cronies. All well and good except there's no sound in space. But if you've been convinced up until that point, you'll believe anything.
