    Just a small correction @St_George.... Benicio del Toro is actually Puerto Rican, he is not Mexican.

    Well pointed out, @wildboonjive - correction now made... :)

    George, you're not kidding about tough.

    1. Harold Sakata (Oddjob)- the original "indestructible" mute assassin, not the later parody.
    2. Benicio DelToro (Dario)- a future Oscar winner deserves this much r-e-s-p-e-c-t
    3. Luciana Paluzzi (Fiona Volpe)- deliciously evil, only Onatopp rates with her.
    4. Ilse Steppat (Irma Bunt)- great in the role, plus helped George get through his role.
    5. Bruce Glover and Putter Smith (Mr Wint and Mr Kidd)- Classic hit men, one of the few bright spots in the film.
    6. Michael Gothard (Emile Locque)- Another solid portrayal for a character that never utters a word.
    7. Richard Kiel (Jaws)- Only because of TSWLM and because the character is considered a memorable classic, definitely not for MR.
    8. Andreas Wisniewski (Necros)- The correct spelling of his last name, a master of disguises and accents, very efficient.

    Yup, come one, @SaintMark, she's already won a bronze medal...! ;)

    I know this one's tough, guys, but what doesn't kill us makes us stronger. Or something like that. Tough decisions are what a tournament of this very nature should be all about, ne-c'est pas...? :)

    Bumpety-bump, peeps.

    Just a midweek reminder, chaps, that this 'un's likely to remain open until Friday/ Saturday - so you've certainly still time to get your votes in... :)

    What is it Luciana Paluzzi (aka Volpe the Voluptuous) says about her SPECTRE octopus ring? Ah yes, that's right, it's a ring she likes to wear. Well, there's now a new piece of jewelry she'll no doubt like to wear even more... yup, a gold medal that declares she's officially the Bond film series' greatest henchperson, man or woman. Hard to argue with that one - well, I'm certainly not going to argue with her about it, at least. And the series' second and third best are Harold Sakata (Odd Job) and Richard Kiel (Jaws) - two iconic characters without whom Bondom would most certainly be a far lesser place.

    Talking of places, the others in this contest are taken by Germany's answer to Hattie Jacques. Ilse Steppat (Irma Bunt), in fourth; Benjiman the Bull himself, Benicio del Toro (Dario), in fifth; the '80s boy band-alike that is Andreas Wisnieckji (Necros) in sixth; the series' worst counter Anthony Dawson (Prof Dent) in seventh and its best - or is it worst? - planner Vladek Sheybal (Kronsteen) in eighth.

    So, yup, on the night they dropped out of their own football tournament, plucky Poland has excelled in this tournament. The silver-eagled lining for them tonight is thanks to their sixth and eighth places registered here, which equates to an oh-so valuable four points for the board and bumps the Eastern Europeans up to an unquestionably enviable eleventh place. It's wódka all the way tonight then, peeps!

    Elsewhere, it's debut day for South Korea and Puerto Rico as both nations take their deserved place on the medal table, while even more deservedly Germany now makes it a troika of Central European powers sitting right behind England and the United States at the top thanks to their fourth place this week seeing them rise to fifth on the board.

    But, once again, the biggest news this week is about that Franco-Italian fight for third and... yup, it's the Azurri who are far from blue this time - Volpe the Voluptuous' gold gifts 'em a full 10 points, third place in the table once more and a three-point cushion over their Gaulish rivals. Sacrebleu!

    Event 21 coming up soon, chaps...! :)

    The United States is never going to win this :-<

    Six rounds to go and It's a catch up of Everest proportions. I wonder what the next round of question will be ?

    Well, no team other than England is going to win this.
    But never say die. (oh no that sounds like a Bond title ...) Onward, yanks! **==

    Agreed with Actonsteve, some locations are missing. Venice I surely would have voted for.

    Yep, reason why I didn't include Venice or Miami was because barely anything was actually filmed at either location - pretty much only establishing shots. And Hong Kong was only actually in YOLT for ten seconds, wasn't it? And I think Gibraltar doubled for some of Hong Kong anyway... ;)

    = 8 points

    What is it Luciana Paluzzi (aka Volpe the Voluptuous) says about her SPECTRE octopus ring? Ah yes, that's right, it's a ring she likes to wear. Well, there's now a new piece of jewelry she'll no doubt like to wear even more... yup, a gold medal that declares she's officially the Bond film series' greatest henchperson, man or woman. Hard to argue with that one - well, I'm certainly not going to argue with her about it, at least. And the series' second and third best are Harold Sakata (Odd Job) and Richard Kiel (Jaws) - two iconic characters without whom Bondom would most certainly be a far lesser place.

    An excellent top 3. And the right candidate certainly won. Viva Italia!
