20 Most Iconic Movie Deaths Of All Time

Roger Moore's first outing as cinema's most celebrated secret agent marked a dramatic shift in the tone of the franchise towards a more gadget-heavy, one-liner favoring and eyebrow-raising lightheartedness. While Live and Let Die is by no means near the top of the Bond pantheon, it does boast one of the most iconic theme songs in the series' history, not to mention one of its most memorable dispatches.

During the climactic showdown in Dr. Kanaga's underground lair, the villain captures 007 and his squeeze Solitaire, planning to kill them by lowering them into a shark tank to be eaten because why the hell not. However, after a terrible fistfight Bond and Kanaga plummet into the tank, where Bond forces a shark gun pellet into his enemy's mouth, causing him to inflate before he fires out of the tank and up to the ceiling where he explodes in a triumph of crap practical effects. If that wasn't enough, then Bond's sign-off line of 'he always did have an inflated opinion of himself' is the icing on the cake.
