The most average (place the element)

edited November 2013 in Bond Movies Posts: 15,132
There is a thread about the most average Bond film, there is also a thread about best Bond film by the element. So I thought about finding what or who is the most average Bond girl, Bond villain, gadget, plot, henchman, ally, etc. The ones that are neither good nor bad.

  • I think the most average film is FYEO. It's not a bad film but it's not a great one either imo, average is the word I think best describes it.
  • My nominations:

    Bond Girl: Tiffany Case (DAF)
    Villain: Dominic Greene (QOS)
    PTS: OHMSS
    Title Track: FYEO

    North east Derbyshire. Falling quite heavily. About 3cm. Won't last, starting to turn to sleet. But yeah, it was a surprise.

    Perhaps Kara as the most average Bond girl? I rather like @MayDay's suggestion of Stromberg for most average villain. How about the fake fingerprints from DAF for most average gadget? I think I'd have to go with Vijay for ally.

    Plot- Octopussy
    Henchman- Kamal Khan
    Ally- Wai Lin
    Song- GoldenEye
    Opening titles- NSNA

    Elektra is the villain not the Bond girl.
    Goldfinger is one of the best villains.
    Gold sovereigns aren't a gadget - they are just inert pieces of gold stored inside a gadget.
    Octopussy's plot once the action moves to Germany is inspired.
    Gobinda is the henchman not Kamal.
    Wai Lin is the Bond girl. The ally in this film would be Jack Wade.
    I'll give you GE as an average song.
    NSNA titles are far from average - they're bloody awful in fact.

    I make that 1/9 correct - better luck next time.

    Bond Girl - Hmm, tricky this - Domino. Not great, not bad, just meh.
    Bond Villain - Aristotle Kristatos
    Bond Gadget - Explosive alarm clock - I'm having trouble coming up with one, the gadgets in Q's lab are superfluous or rather neat, thus falls outside of this thread question. I'm just going to have to nick @Baltimore_007 idea
    Plot - QoS
    Henchman - Vargas
    Ally - Felix Leiter - Goldfinger

    Well, Elektra is a villain and a Bond girl. And she is pretty average as both.

    Certainly it's good, but not near as good as everyone try to make it out to be. It's just...average.

    It's one of the best songs of all time imo. Definitely one of the best rock songs, and my favourite Bond theme. What exactly is it that you find average about it?

    It is not my favourite, but it is certainly among the best ones. Maybe not as good as people think it is, but that would make it overrated, not average per se.
