11 Things You Learn Rewatching From Russia With Love

1. The Slap Scene Is Super Uncomfortable To Watch

And finally, we have a classically sexist moment which reminds that no matter how these films paint Bond as a suave, sexy super-spy to be desired and admired, he still routinely treats women like garbage.

The scene in question sees Bond interrogating Tatiana on-board the Orient Express, and after getting nowhere fast, he slaps her hard across the face. Now admittedly, Bond just learned that Kerim had been murdered and wasn't exactly in the most agreeable frame of mind, but still, was this really necessary?

To contemporary audiences it seems especially excessive, and though back in 1963 it clearly flew without a qualm from audiences, in our more enlightened, less-misogynistic times, it's a regrettably cringe-worthy moment.
