    Coolest: Tiger - Looks like a tough guy. Powerful and loaded with good looking servant girls. ;-)

    Prettiest: Kissy - Face like a pig? Bollocks!

    Dumbest: The USA representative - For nearly starting a war... on little or no evidence that Russia is involved.

    Funniest: Q - His Little Nellie moments were simply cute.

    Most tragic: Aki - The poison was bad but Bond getting over her death so quickly was worse. Tragic.

    Thanks, Willy. So you could say the actual scene, with the Japanese women trying to make Sean's eyes Asian ... and also include the folks who okayed this in the script. (yeah, I know it's in the novel, but still...!)

    Coolest: Tiger Tanaka
    Prettiest: Helga Brandt (however, the women in YOLT aren't exactly the cream of the crop)
    Dumbest: (there's quite a vast number to choose from here!) Mr. Osato- in all honesty, who would utter the words "Kill him!" to their associate when the target is in direct earshot of hearing you? Words can't describe that level of stupidity.
    Funniest: the crater control guard- he loves his job way too much! "Closing crater!!"
    Most Tragic: Aki

    Coolest: Tiger Tanaka. Coolest ally of the entire series also IMHO.
    Prettiest: Helga Brandt a/k/a SPECTRE no. 11
    Dumbest: Alas, also Helga(who I do like). For trying to kill "Mr. Fisher" by sabotaging Osato's plane and parachuting out rather than shooting him earlier.
    Funniest: Blofeld's white cat during the final battle
    Most Tragic: Aki of course although Helga's death is certainly the most horrific.

    Coolest: Tiger Tanaka is as cool as Bond
    Prettiest: Aki is sweet and Helga is darn sexy, but I think Kissy is probably the prettiest
    Dumbest: The ninja imposter. Trying to kill Bond is stupid enough, let alone while you're surrounded by an entire ninja training school. Derp dee derp.
    Funniest: Ling or Q
    Most Tragic: Aki

    Coolest: Evelyn Tremble - Let's face it: he wins every game of baccarat and gets in on, well sorta, with women names Vesper and Miss Goodthighs. ;-)

    Prettiest: Mata - That spy dress... Oh my!

    Dumbest: Jimmy - You're not getting anywhere with that plan, Dr. Noah!

    Funniest: Q - I love the smile on his face when Tremble gets sized up by his tailor.

    Most tragic: M

    Prettiest: Miss Goodthighs

    Funniest: The little German man at the Mata Hari spy school in Berlin
    Most tragic: Evelyn Tremble(I wonder if Peter Seller's hadn't walked on the film before it was complete. It might've turned out better or worse).

    Coolest: Draco
    Prettiest: Tracy
    Dumbest: Grunther - He calls one of his cohorts an idiot and seconds later he skis into a tree!
    Funniest: Q - "007 never had any respect for government property!"
    Most Tragic: Tracy. Naturally.

    Coolest: Draco - The lovely 'secretary': check. Major crime organisation: check. Donates a million pounds to marry his daughter: check.

    Prettiest: Olympe - She looks cute. And she also plays a good game of chess.

    Dumbest: Ruby - Look, when she start ranting about the chickens, I'm put off.

    Funniest: Fraulein Bunt - Don't ask me why. She just puts a smile on my face. ;-)

    Most tragic: Tracy - It's an obvious choice I suppose but her death remains a painful event.
  • Coolest: Oh, so many. Blofeld, since Draco and Tracy will get love elsewhere
    Prettiest: Tracy
    Dumbest: Grunther
    Funniest: Draco
    Most tragic: Tracy, of course.
  • Coolest: Blofeld. Savalas's rendition is my favorite villain of the whole series. Blofeld's voice in the hypnosis scenes is superb
    Prettiest: Joanna Lumley as one of the Angels of Death
    Dumbest: the bullfighters, because they are bullfighters
    Funniest: the guy in the polar bear suit who scared Bond in the village chase
    Most tragic: Tracy, obviously

    Coolest - Draco. I think Blofeld loses points for trying to be something that he's not.

    Prettiest - Nancy. If I was Bond I would have started with her, not Ruby.

    Dumbest - Grunther, probably. If I could I would vote for Bond for blowing his cover.

    Funniest - Ruby. She can be a little annoying but she has a good sense of humor.

    Most Tragic - Tracy.
