10 Movie Badasses Who Should Definitely Be Dead By Now

7. James Bond

Skyfall Arguably the most vital entry onto this list purely because James Bond has had 23 official outings to date, even if each transition into a new actor might be seen as a rebirth of sorts for the character (especially the recent reboot with Daniel Craig). Still, through his vast array of adventures, he's had a litany of slippery incidents which nearly saw him killed, if not for a stupid villain or his sympathetic female sidekick who James has previously charmed into bed, of course. Even if the villains have never been competent enough to finish him off, it's quite likely that Bond would have been crippled by his sexual promiscuity. We never see Bond stopping to protect himself prior to coitus, and beautiful though these ladies are, the speed with which they slip into the sack with the man suggests they might not have the cleanest sheets, so to speak. There is no doubt an epilogue waiting to be filmed of a syphilitic, bed-ridden Bond being smothered to death by a henchman. No?
