10 Times James Bond Should Have Been Killed

Pierce Brosnan's second outing as 007 was a great 'leave your brain at the door' action flick which kept one upping itself with outstanding stunt work. It was far from perfect, but there was a lot of fun to be had with Jonathon Pryce's Rupert Murdoch impersonation and Michelle Yeoh's Colonel Wai Lin filling out a great cast.

The movie also contains henchmen with the worst aim ever. The scene where this is most noticeable is the scene within Tomorrow Newspapers HQ. The scene begins with Bond and Colonel Wai Lin both infiltrating the headquarters, before Wai Lin accidentally sets off the alarms. As Bond attempts to make his escape through the HQ atrium, no less than a dozen henchmen have clear shots to take out the British spy, but somehow they all miss.

The scene goes to farcical levels when Bond stops at the doorway for several seconds to give a bewildered glare at Wai Lin who is literally walking up the side of a wall. How the henchmen, all armed with machine guns, fail to hit their target in this instance is enough for them to be sent back to the printing room floor immediately.
