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

2. Inspect Bond Thoroughly

Let's get hypothetical for a moment - imagine you've captured Bond (unlikely). Problem solved, right? No. Never underestimate James Bond €“ there hasn't been an evil lair yet that 007 hasn't escaped from and/or destroyed from the inside in the process. Know why? Because gadgets. If you let Bond into your evil lair, don't just assume that his pen is a pen, or he'll activate the pen and blow your lair up with it. And don't just think that watch is simply a watch, or he'll activate its secret buzzsaw and hack you all to death with it. And don't ever assume his Aston Martin is just an Aston Martin. Because it will kill you. James Bond is a vehicular menace. If you want proof of that, watch every Bond film ever made. His auto pretty much always gets destroyed, but Bond doesn't care as long as he kills as many people as possible while it's still running. Don't think about even inspecting the vehicle €“ just stay away from it. That said, the guy doesn't even need gadgets or souped-up super cars; he's got out of some stiff jams purely by improvising. If you do capture him, the best advice is to encase him in some sort of iron lung device and hope he doesn't find a way to pick the lock. He probably will, though.
