Agreed. Terrible character. Poorly written. Atrociously acted.
Oh believe me, it was a spoof of a worst kind than DAF, although unlike DAF it did not try to be a spoof, which makes it worse IMO. But Wai Lin would not have salvaged anything. I agree with Saunders that she is not that great of a Bond girl and belongs almost to another genre. But she is way superior to Jinx, I will gladly give you this. And maybe this is why we are lucky she didn't show up in DAD. if anything, she would have made it worse, as what was good about her character would have been turned into mince meat by the stupid plot and the bad direction. Imagine her in the last fight against Miranda Frost. Jinx was unbelievable as a superspy, she looked like a supermodel. But because of this, it kind of make sense that she had difficulties getting the upper hand against an Olympic champion. Wai Lin, as an expert martial artist, would have logically swiftly got the better of Frost, unless the plot required her to be evenly match, and this would have seriously hurted her character.
:))
It would not have, it would have hurt a previously good, or at least okay, character.
People may hate Jinx, but it's hard to argue how incredibly good looking she is when she comes out of the water.
The only other woman I've seen who can work her curves as effectively was Jessica Rabbit.
I have to say though I do find Brosnan's slimyness in that beach scene funny. He compensates for the atrocious Halle. I'll give her a mouthful - of my fist*
*I wouldn't normally encourage violence towards women but with her I'll make an exception.
I hate the PTS, I live fairly near Aldershot where it was filmed and I've never thought Hampshire resembles North Korea in the slightest, also dislike Bond's unlimited ammo machine pistol and the pre QOS clumsy editing, it always looks like it's Bond's hovercraft that crashes and explodes when the concrete barrier comes down at the start of the chase.
Vic Armstrong promised so much with this hovercraft chase comparing it to a classic western stagecoach scenario, but it's just a big let down which is a shame because for all his faults, Brosnan's other PTS have all been par excellence.
Not really. He just had one line. "I'm Mr. Kil." He looked unique and put up quite a fight with Brosnan, and also had a cool death. I'll take Mr. Kil over Elvis. A balding twig who Bond Brosnan or Craig could snap in half. Kil at least looked Threatening and cool. Can't say the same about Elvis.
Sorry but I call BS on Kil being the worst character ever. There have been way more characters in the Bond series who deserve to be called "Worst Character Ever."
Character who I see worse than Mr. Kil.
Mary Goodnight.
JW Pepper.
Lupe.
Dr. Metz.
Cai...Cai...Cairo guy.
Charles Grey's Blofeld.
Elvis
Varity
Gustav Graves
Those stock Gangsters from Goldfinger
and So on.
He's campy but he just irritates me with his negative behavior. He never saw Bond once and was just plain mean to him the whole time for no reason.
Hmm...I still think Kil is pretty atrocious. I mean common...Mr Kil? The writers just weren't even trying.
Fair enough. It is there just to give Bond a cheesy one liner. Mr. Killian would be much cooler.
Actually he didn't have one line. When prompted by Zao to kill Jinx and is offered a gun he scoffs "No, I use laser". Terrible delivery. Granted the scriptwriting was non-existent but his character only served the purpose of dying an amusing death.
True I forgot that line but it's better than a lot of other lines throughout the Bond films. :p
The bashing against Halle Berry continues on. There is nothing that will rile a James Bond fan more is the idea of a black woman as the leading Bond female character . . . especially since she gets to have sex with him.
By the way, I think "TOMORROW NEVER DIES" was Brosnan's worst Bond movie. Pure Bond generic crap.
It's not about her race @DRush76, but the words that come out of her mouth. I'm all for Bond having a relationship with a Black woman. Berry is a fine actress in the right role, but her character was badly written and it's an insult to her and what could have been a great character. But they basically made her the "Sassy sidekick with 2000's catchphrases. "Yo Mama" and So on. Lines like that don't need to be in a Bond film.

That's what we're talking about: an improvement. DAD wouldn't have skyrocketed from what some call "the worst piece of trash ever" to "Oscar-worthy material," but the film would've been improved by that.
Thank you sir!
