    Terrific find @=bg=, well done on locating this! So the top five Bond movies for total deaths are You Only Live Twice, The Spy Who Loved Me, Thunderball, Moonraker, and Goldfinger. It makes sense really, considering the fact that each of those all had a large-scale finale battle with numerous soldiers/thugs getting shot down or blown up.

    Also, it seems that the top five movies for Bond's killing sprees are GoldenEye (one reason why it is the best Bond movie, the facts don't lie!), The Spy Who Loved Me and Die Another Day in a tie, Tomorrow Never Dies, The World is not Enough, and You Only Live Twice.

    Let it be known that the deadliest 007 is PIERCE BROSNAN. Yes, that's right, PIERCE BROSNAN!!! 135 kills in only four movies, with an average of 33.8 per movie! BAM! Take that, Brosnan bashers!
  • Can't really read to much in to that, as they had bigger budgets for the 1990s than in previous years and Brosnan was allowed a little more scope to unleash some mayhem or participate in some extreme or lavish sets. What I mean is, Connery didn't have too many kills, but is that really a factor?, He didn't need fancy sets or big budget productions to be a success, was still just as good a Bond with his Walther and doing his job, rather than some later Bonds we saw with maching guns shooting at everything in sight, of course, racking up a higher killing ratio

    I don't remember too many deaths in Moonraker either. Bond didn't even use his Walther (or any gun) in that release of all things, but it must mean the body count on the Drax spacestation towards the end

    Apparently Bond's kill count for You Only Live Twice was 13, The Spy Who Loved Me 14, Thunderball 21, Moonraker 4, Goldfinger 2 and Goldeneye 12

    At least it makes for some interesting reading
