8. Jaws Is A Goofy Delight

How can you not like a guy who kills a shark with his razor-sharp steel teeth? Though Jaws is undeniably one of the goofiest characters in the entire Bond franchise, he's also one of the most memorable and amusing, justifying his existence with the almost unrivalled physical threat he poses to 007.

With far too many of the Bond henchmen being bested after just a single fight, Jaws stands out because the guy just don't go down for the count. He takes an incredible amount of punishment - being electrocuted, kicked out of a train and surviving a car crash to name just a few - but keeps coming back, and what's more, actually survives the movie to return in Moonraker.

Sure, he looks incredibly silly when he runs, but would you ever point that out to the guy? In one of the most blandly-scripted Bond films there is, he's an easy standout.
