Exactly. I mean James is good, but he's not THAT good, haha. Bond definitely made the right choice in picking Pam when all was said and done in LTK.

Nobody really hates any Bond characters Murdock, there may be a certain level of distaste, but hate for anything Bond, may seem a bit far fetched. Furthermore the Ekland character wasn't too bad, I saw it recently, and I fail to see what all the criticism is about sometimes, I didn't have a problem with it. Add to that Anya Amasova as above, not a bad character and Bach certainly was pleasing on the eyes that year. One of the better Bond girls
Speaking of Goodnight....
I-)
Yeah I see your point. I don't actually "hate" her It's just a matter of opinion. She just comes off as a incompetent agent who comes off as clumsy and foolish. And her constant arguing with Bond is also really takes me out of the film. the thing this film needed was much better writing.
"Save me, James!" ~X(
Saw her in: Un bonheur n'arrive jamais seul and tried to watch Équipe médicale d'urgence and you're right she was in poor form.
Judging before you know anything? Poor form.
Careful, you will unleash the anger of BAIN123...
Hmm. Well I came on this thread figuring I'd see about 44 votes for Jinx.
Surprise, there are plenty of other nominees for this dubious distinction.
Least favorite means to pick just one: so I'm going with Stacy Sutton.
She's just a raven haired so called hottie who can't act. Skin and bone for me She might surprise us all especially with the look of the skyfall. It might distract us all from her 'I'm a bad girl' routine. She hasn't starred in anything. Bit roles - her credits include: hostess, barmaid, extra. That says it all.
There are only two women in the world who should be Bond girls:
Monica Bellucci
Amber 'be thy name' Heard.
Both can raise the titanic and both can act. Love 'em.
I'm not a fan of her acting at all, but the looks make up for a lot.
Well, back then they did, anyway.
Also, someone mentioned Anya? Personally one of my favourites, and one of the first bongirls who could handle herself. Oh, and this:
:x
I like my Bond girls to be three dimensiion ie Tracy, Tatiana, Vesper, Solitaire, Melina or Domino. Though I do have a soft spot for Tiffany Case.
I struggled with alot of the Brosnan girls mainly because of the stunt casting. The best of these would be Sophie Marceau. And I am going to commit sacrilege and say Natalya is abit of a nag. Snappiness is "equality" is it?
But she doesn't make my worst Bond girl list but Wai Lin, Christmas Jones and Jinx Johnson do. From the classic series it is Mary Goodnight.
She is the reason apart from where PB butchered the scenes where Bond kills Elektra but mostly her that TWINE is at my bottom 5. If TWINE had a better actress in her place or took out her character completly it might have been in my top 10.
And Jinx.
I agree with this. She's one of my favourites.
I normally don't care about Bond girls acting ability but if it's a villian girl (like Berenice is meant to be), I think they should be able to act, like Elektra.
Amber Heard is Mandy Lane isn't she? Yeah she could be a Bond girl.
1. Christmas Jones/Denise Richards- As stated, not even delivering competent lines in her field of expertise could change the fact that she delivered every line exactly the same way. Even her reality show flopped miserably now that all the mileage she got from being "Mrs. Charlie Sheen" has faded. Appallingly awful actress of the highest quality. All show, and no go. Other than in the sack, I wouldn't have any use for her.
2. Lynn-Holly Johnson/Bibi Dahl- Goddess help us all. Do I even need to elaborate?
3. Halle Berry/Jacinta Johnson- I don't think Halle is as bad an actress as others do, the dialogue is so cringingly awful that it makes her seem worse than she actually is. In the action scenes, she's plenty competent and physically tough, sort of the Wai Lin of the 2000's. Until she opens her mouth, anyway. She's basically the George Lazenby of Bond girls.
4. Britt Eklund/Mary Goodnight- Britt is HOT, no question. Not that bad an actress or she would not have been able to convey Goodnight's ditzy nature fairly well. In comparison to the Mary Goodnight of the book though, this is an awful Bond girl. No MI6 agent could possibly be this embarrassingly incompetent.
5. Gloria Hendry/Rosie Carver- Like Goodnight, a complete mess as a field agent. And Hendry is just an awful actress and awful looking besides. Yeccch. Where's Vonetta McGee when you need her?
6. Corinne Clery/Corinne Dufour- "Hairy Clery" is easily among the worst Bond girls in the looks department. And the character is thoroughly stupid as well. I know, she's a citizen and a pilot. But she's stupid enough to risk her life and show Bond the safe, and shows she's even more stupid by not jumping in her golf cart to begin with, let alone climb a tree, when her character finally goes where it should just like the rest of the movie- to the dogs!
7. Lois Chiles/Holly Goodhead- They say that those who can't do, teach. Chiles is a drama professor nowadays. Go figure. Not bad looking, short of Emily Bolton the best looking woman in this borefest. Most of her lines are delivered in monotone fashion as well.
8. Grace Jones/May Day- I agree with those who feel May Day is a good henchwoman. She is scary looking and scary strong and a competent, intimidating killer. Her lines are not monotone either. It's just all the growling and teeth knashing that go along with her scary enough face. How Sir Roger and Chris Walken didn't suffer temporary blindness after their closeups with her remains a mystery to me!
9. Tanya Roberts/Stacey Sutton- Tanya tries, but she's a lousy actress. Good looks, good body, willing to mix it up with the bad guys, character knows her subject. But I'm with those who are also put off by her screaming and generally annoying mannerisms.
10. Drax's Spacewomen- You know what, I feel generous. I've said it before, I've seen way better physical specimens in real life. A poor man's version of Blofeld's "Angels Of Death".
P.S- For women I've have liked as Bond girls, it would be Catherine Zeta-Jones and Tia Carrere. IMHO, MEGAHOT!

3. Rosie Carver
Now that I think about, and sorry Baltimore, but Rosie Carver is pretty pathetic. I was never convinced of her good girl act, and I could not even see her being any sort of competent as one of Kananga's stooges.
So many of the things I find objectionable are due to what I consider laziness or carelessness on the part of the producers. For a series that prides itself on a being a cut above, they made some really bad decisions in casting. Had they cast one of the aforementioned actresses in the role of Tracey, what a disaster that could have been. One of the reason that film is so strong--good story, good cast.
