James Bond films are as famous for their host of beautiful women in various states of peril (or being perilous) as they are for their titular hero. These beauties are referred to as Bond girls. They have been subject to numerous feminist critique both negative and (sometimes) positive. The Bond Girls themselves (or rather, the actresses who play them) consider it being part of a club, almost as exclusive as being Bond himself.
Played by [[Diana Rigg]] (AKA "Emma Peel"

Bond Villains are amongst the most recognizable bad guys in movie history. While they tend not to be as famous as the Bond girls, some of the most recognizable characters in movies have been Bond Villains.
James Bond's recurring archnemesis in both the books and movies. Blofeld has been parodied almost as many times as James Bond himself and remains the archetypal Bond villain. He appeared, played by different actors, in five official movies (''[[From Russia with Love]]'', ''[[Thunderball]]'', ''[[You Only Live Twice]]'', and ''[[On Her Majesty's Secret Service]]'', ''[[Diamonds Are Forever]]''). He also appeared in ''[[Never Say Never Again]]'' and made an uncredited appearance in ''[[For Your Eyes Only (film)|For Your Eyes Only]]''. His unusual name derives from his being half Polish and half Greek.
Line 218 ⟶ 216:
* [[Diabolical Mastermind]]: Blofeld controls the massive criminal empire of SPECTRE.
* [[Dropped a Bridge on Him]]: More like Dropped Him Down A Chimney.
* [[Expy]]: Hugo Drax in the movie ''[[Moonraker (film)|Moonraker]]'' and Karl Stromberg are both Blofeld-lite, without being direct Blofeld replacements.
