6. Mayday - Grace Jones - A View To A Kill
Mayday was the incredibly strong henchwoman of Max Zorin in A View To A Kill, at one point showing off her seemingly superhuman strength by liftinga man above her head with no real effort at all, who is also the head of Zorin's guards, all of whom are female. On top of this, Mayday is more than a match for Bond, first killing his French contact with a poisoned stage prop and then escaping by climbing the Eiffel Tower and parachuting away, before evading Bond again in a car chase. Later in the film, Mayday manages to seduce Bond, before proving her deadly assets once again by killing Sir Godfrey Tibbet in a car wash and attempting to kill Bond, although when Zorin floods a mine near the Silicon Valley in his attempts to corner the market in microchips, Bond and Mayday fall into the floodwater and find the bodies of Mayday's colleagues, at which point she realises Zorin's evil ways and switches sides, deciding to help Bond stop Zorin's plan. After helping Bond extract a bomb from a fault that would flood the valley in an explosion, Mayday realises that the only way to get the bomb to a safe distance is to stay on the handcar and hold the malfunctioning brakes open herself, thus sacrificing herself to save the day. Despite her change of heart, Mayday's extreme strength and ruthless killing ability have more than earned her the 5th spot on this list.
