10. Auric Goldfinger (Goldfinger)
MGMAs Bond villains go Goldfinger is actually pretty smart - his reasons for not killing Bond with his famous laser actually make sense as he wants Bond kept alive to stop MI6 sending another agent after him. His plan is also suitably dastardly and doesn't require complex satellites when none will do - just nerve agents, a full-scale invasion of Fort Knox and the use of a dirty bomb to rig the gold market. Let down by others, including Pussy Galore rather than generally stupid.
Why He's So Stupid Goldfinger gets on this list because of an inexplicable piece of stupidity - the maverick gold dealer gets funding for his plan 'Operation Grand Slam' by appealing to the greed of gangsters. Of course, after they invest in his scheme he isn't too keen on sharing the loot with them, as there won't be any. One gangster decides he'll leave early with the gold he has brought and is murdered by Goldfinger's henchman Oddjob. The car is then put in a car crusher necessitating the costly removal of the gold. Goldfinger then proceeds to gas all the remaining gangsters to death anyway.
Dumbest Moment To repeat, it's that decision to allow the gangster to leave and then go to all the trouble of having him killed and retrieving his gold. The reason it's so dumb is that he could've just excused himself for a minute before the gangster left and saved himself an awful lot of trouble. It's particularly daft behaviour as this is one occasion when it was not necessitated by Bond's need to survive the film.
