9 Movie Villains So Stupid They Caused Their Own Deaths

3. Blofeld Plays With Bond For No Reason - For Your Eyes Only

Or in this case a bald guy in a wheelchair that looks like Blofeld, but can't be named as such for legal reasons, even though everyone knows it's him. The opening to For Your Eyes Only sees Blofeld take remote control of a helicopter Bond is flying in, giving James the ride from hell. Of course it would be too easy to simply crash it and secure victory, so his playing around gives Bond enough time to wrestle back control. Blofeld picked a really bad day to mess with Bond as he'd just been to his wife's grave, who Blofeld had killed years before, so it's with extra satisfaction that James picks up Blofeld's wheelchair with a skid and casually drops him down a chimney. Bond villains aren't renowned for their smartness, famously choosing to give smug monologues or stall pointlessly when they could just kill Bond there and then. Blofeld is no exception and given his past experiences with Bond he should have known better. In his defense Bond did cripple him, which explains why he wanted to make him suffer first, but rigging the helicopter with a bomb just in case would have been a good backup plan.
