6. Necros (The Living Daylights, 1987)

Perhaps not a name to make the faces of casual 007 fans light up with recognition - and that's a crying shame. Necros puts himself on Bond's radar after murdering his Intelligence Service colleague Saunders.

The chameleonic hitman prefers to murder his foes while listening to “Where Has Everybody Gone” on his personal stereo. Par the course for the 1980s, in other words.

An expert mimic, Necros is also skilled at infiltration and impersonation, echoing accents with ease to get past unsuspecting guards. After crashing MI6's countryside safe house disguised as a milkman, Necros ends up in a surprisingly awesome kitchen fight with an interloping operative.

Using everything in their reach from pots and pans to rollers and stovetops, the two pull off all the stops in their fight for survival. If Necros can have such an incredible fight with a nameless agent, just think what he can do when squaring off against Bond?

As it turns out, what he can do is engage Bond in a white-knuckle struggle as the two desperately hang onto a rope net, thousands of feet in the air. Flying over Afghanistan, 007 and Necros have it out in a thrilling sequence.

With his beloved stereo nowhere to be found, however, Necros ends up plummeting to his doom.
