CRIMINAL MASTERMINDS Nothing lets Brosnan’s movies down as badly as the villains. When Sean Bean’s spy traitor Trevelyan from GoldenEye is the best of the lot, something’s wrong.
HENCHMEN Xenia Onotopp (Famke Janssen, GoldenEye) heads a decent list also boasting diamond-acne-ed killer Zao (Rick Yune, Die Another Day) and urbane master of murder. Dr Kaufman (Vincent Schiavelli, Tomorrow Never Dies).
IN ACTION A bungee jump from the world’s highest dam is the best, but Brosnan’s tux time also saw 007 diving into airplanes and ploughing a tank through the middle of a Russian city (all in GoldenEye).
00 ASSESSMENT: 74 CONFIRMED KILLS Favourites Crushing Xenia Onotopp (“She always did enjoy a good squeeze” – GoldenEye); mangling a bad guy in a printing press (“They’ll print anything these days” – Tomorrow Never Dies); blowing away former lover Elektra King (“You wouldn’t kill me, you’d miss me.” “I never miss” – The World Is Not Enough).
BEFORE BOND Was married to Cassandra Harris, from For Your Eyes Only.
AFTER BOND Has a sequel to The Thomas Crown Affair in development.
SURVEILLANCE TRANSCRIPT Bond “You were pretty good with that hook.” Wai Lin “Thanks. It comes from growing up in a rough neighborhood. You were pretty good on the bike.” Bond “Thank you. It comes from not growing up at all.” (Tomorrow Never Dies)
