1. Dr. Christmas Jones (Denise Richards) - The World Is Not Enough
The face that launched a thousand quips (I thought Christmas only came once a year!), Dr. Christmas Jones is notable only for appearing in the same film as Electra King (Sophie Marceau), whos smart, sexy and so badass she has Robert Carlyle for a henchman. Dr. Jones is none of these things, but because shes played by Denise Richards, she really knows how to wear shorts. Under normal circumstances, that might be enough, but the characters supposed to be a nuclear physicist, and watching someone who dresses like Britney Spears attempt to defuse a bomb qualifies the movie for so-bad-its-good status. Worse, the dreadful dialogue proves the filmmakers didnt know the difference between intentional silliness and laughable stupidity. The worlds greatest terrorist running around with six kilos of weapons grade plutonium cant be good, says the Doctor at one point. I gotta get it back, or someones gonna have my ass! Did we miss any terrible Bond girls? Shout out any more, puns and all, down in the comments.
