10 Times James Bond Was A Complete And Utter B*stard

7. The Tank Chase Through St. Petersberg - GoldenEye

In Pierce Brosnan€™s first and finest outing (not a hard achievement given his follow-up adventures) Bond is after a former friend turned traitor in Russia, and after breaking out of a military compound the only vehicle he can find to pursue a target is a tank. He takes the tank on a joyride worthy of GTA through the streets of St. Petersberg, smashing through walls, buildings, national monuments and running over cars with gleeful abandon. He even takes a moment to stop and adjust his tie after a particularly intense bout of property destruction. M won€™t be pleased when Russia hands them the bill. Bond is ultimately an escapist fantasy and the tank chase is a fun action scene. Nonetheless you can€™t help but feel that James is having at little too much fun as he crushes everything in his path, all done with a wry little smirk and little care about how much damage he does. And that whole tie fixing is a dick move of the highest order given that he just destroyed half a city.

Handsome. Charismatic. Intelligent. Noble. Witty. I'm none of these things, but I'm a half decent writer, I guess.
