Why is Bibi Dahl (Lynn-Holly Johnson) even a character that exists in a James Bond movie? The teenage ice-skating prodigy is said to be "innocent in the ways of the world", but shortly after being introduced, she aggressively attempts to seduce Bond, undressing herself for him and mocking "Uncle Ari" (Julian Glover) for thinking she's still a virgin.

She's young enough that even 007 turns her down, marking perhaps the only instance in the entire franchise where Bond is out-creeped by one of his female co-stars.

It doesn't end there, though: she even ends up in the middle of the third-act action for no real reason, and practically every second she's on screen is to the movie's detriment.

Seriously, who thought this was a good idea? She's an embarrassment to the movie and a wholly unnecessary one at that, especially as her presence only further draws attention to Moore's age.
