8 Lessons The Bond 24 Villain Must Learn So He Doesn't Fail Miserably

6. Trust No One

The general staff of the Bond villain often make up one big leaky ship, full of jobs-bodies willing to spill secrets to Bond as soon as the heat gets dialled up a notch, and, more worryingly, female employees prepared tell all in exchange for just one steamy night with the super spy. Because if there's one thing Bond loves, other than feeding his Martini habit, it's killing people. And after that, he simply loves seducing women. It's practically a sideline of his job - in From Russia With Love, Soviet government employee Tatiana Romanova is used by SPECTRE to seduce Bond and gain his trust. Instead, she ends up falling in love with him and shooting her boss. There isn't a femme in this world that's fatale enough to resist Bond's charms. Worse still is the number of occasions on which Bond villains have in the past outright told all their evil plans to Bond, assuming the fact that they've captured him means he'll also soon be dead (unlikely). They give up everything, because hey, he'll be gone in a minute, so why not lay out all the secrets of your master plan to the man most likely to use the information and beat you to death with it? Message to the Bond 24 villain: keep the evil plan secret. If possible, keep it to yourself and your most trusted colleagues alone, and keep everybody else in the dark in case they're tempted to spill.
