2. Super-Villain Fails To Learn How To Cultivate Own Drugs Properly - Live And Let Die
The Plot: Flood the American market with free heroin in order to get everybody hooked and drive out competitors who charge for the drug. Back before market-savvy developers leaked costly apps for free to generate a buzz, voodoo loving Dr. Kananga (Yaphet Kotto) practically invented the 'freemium' business model with his dastardly plot to distribute free heroin across America in the ultimate 'try before you buy' scheme. Kananga is confident that this will force his main competitor (the Mafia) out of business and give him a stranglehold on the market at which point he'll bring the price back up and take home all the gold. It all sounds as fine as the rocking title track by Wings (only the band the Beatles could've been) but as Live And Let Die progresses, Kananga's plan turns to junk heroin can't just be grown anywhere and, as Kananga discovers, it's also quite easy to burn all of the stock down while it's still growing. As if he didn't have a bad enough day, Bond (Roger Moore in his debut) forces him to swallow a compressed gas capsule causing him to inflate and explode. Yes, that's right: inflate and then explode.
