    /10 - out of 10
    1. Actor – 9
    2. Sadism – 9 his torture of Domino (this for heat, this for cold, applied scientifically...) his easy solution for failing insubordinates, or those who still fight his opponent..
    3. Villain’s Scheme - 8 Perhaps not that impressive nowedays, but the perfect plot for the sixties, and executed to perfection.
    4. Physically Menacing – 8 He looks impressive, and the way he vibrates his anger but still holds his 'gentleman' demeanour is impressive.
    5. Dialogue – 8 'your spectre against my spectre'.

    let down by his henchman. 'Vargas does not drink, does not smoke, does not make love. What do you do Vargas?'

    He doesn't help the scoring either.

    Ta chaps.

    We've already featured the oh so voluptuous Fiona in the Girls game, so it's Vargas' turn to be in the spotlight. And anyway, I've always thought the Fiona was equal to Largo. Kind of partners in crime. Fiona even warns Largo not to kill Bond, yet. Plus Fiona is head of SPECTRE's execution branch.

    Although as SPECTRE's No. 2, Largo is only subservient to ol' Blowers.

    Donald Pleasence as Ernst Stavro Blofeld...

    /10 - out of 10
    1. Actor – 7 (Good actor but maybe Blofeld wasn’t the best fit for him)

    3. Villain’s Scheme – 5
    4. Physically Menacing – 3 (Peter Hunt had to edit around his effeminate mincing!)
    5. Dialogue – 7 (Bit meh at best. Bonus points for “You only live twice Mr. Bond” exchange)
