The Single Greatest Thing In Each James Bond Movie

8. Tomorrow Never Dies - Wai Lin

No Time to Die Daniel Craig
MGM/UA

Tomorrow Never Dies is a very thrilling and enjoyable installment of the series and easily one of its most criminally under-appreciated offerings, but having said that, it's hard to deny that most of the movie's elements are overshadowed by one thing. Or rather, one person: Wai Lin (Michelle Yeoh), who is simply one of the greatest Bond Girls ever.

A lovable, gloriously badass secret agent played to perfection by action legend Michelle Yeoh, Lin is absolutely magnetic every moment she's on screen and she effortlessly steals the movie from Bond himself (despite typically excellent work from Pierce Brosnan).

She could've returned; a spin-off film was considered, as was a role in Die Another Day but sadly, the plans fell through in both cases. Still, the screen-time she did get more than cemented her as one of the series' finest female leads.
