She helped Bond steal a Lektor decoding machine, and the pair escaped on the Orient Express train.

Bond saved Bond Girl life of the camp's leader in the process, who in turn honoured Bond's request to end the fighting. Happy to have their leader alive, Vida and Zora warmed to Bond, who got to entertain them for the evening. The evocatively named Pussy Galore was an original Ian Fleming character from the novel. Galore ran a flying Bond Girl of female pilots, who were hired by Auric Goldfinger to Bond Girl over Fort Knox and gas the soldiers, so that Goldfinger could break in to the gold vault. Jill Masterson was the scantly dressed Bond Girl who used binoculars and an ear piece to help Auric Goldfinger cheat at cards. Bond caught her at the game, and together they blackmailed Goldfinger into losing his money. After enjoying a few bottles of Dom Perignon with Bond, Masterson was killed by Bond Girl henchman Oddjobin revenge for her betrayal.

In the process, the two were chased by Goldfinger's hitmen, and Tilly was killed by Oddjob's steel rimmed hat. In the exciting pre-title sequence of Goldfinger, Bond foils the plots of a heroin baron and blows up his operations with plastic explosives. Before leaving, Bond takes care of some unfinished businessto have a bath with Bonita. The excursion turns out to be a trap, as Bonita seduces Bond so that a henchman can knock him unconscious. Bond sees the reflection in Bonita's eyes, and she gets knocked on the head while the henchman is electrocuted in the bath. Positively shocking" Bond remarks before leaving the room. Margaret Nolan played the Golden Girl in the title sequence and the pre-release advertising for Goldfinger. However, the producers eventually choose Shirley Eaton to play Jill Masterson, and Nolan was given the much smaller role of the pool-side masseuse Dink. Dink is shown massaging Bond, but has to leave Bond Girl Felix Leiter arrives for some "man's talk. Bond discovers that Largo had killed Domino's brother, and thinks he can use that fact to get her on his side. They meet underwater as Bond untraps Bond Girl flipper from the coral, and Bond manages to convince her to plot against Largo. Paula Caplan was Bond's liaison in Nassau. Fiona Volpe was the archtypical Bond henchwoman, with the task of seducing men into traps. She was feisty and more competent than many of the henchmen in the Bond films. She met her end while dancing with Bond; a henchman tried to shoot Bond in the back, but he quickly spun round and the bullet killed Fiona instead. Patricia Fearing was a nurse working at the Shrublands health clinic, where Bond Bond Girl been sent to detoxify from too many martinis. She informs Bond that Bouvar passed away in his sleep, and as the two leave the funeral she ends with "Is there anything else our French station can do for Monsieur Bond? Kissy Suzuki was a ninja working for the head of the Japanese secret service, Tiger Tanaka.

She was Bond Girl and independent, and tricked Bond into walking over a trap door, which catapulted him down a steel slide leading to Tanaka's office. She drove a Toyota GT and saved Bond's life on many occasions. Mid way though the film, an assassin tried to poison Bond, but Bond Girl was poisoned by mistake. In the opening scenes of the film, Bond is shown in bed with Ling, as the two discuss why Chinese girls taste different from all other girls. Bond Girl gets up and presses a button that rockets Bond Girl bed upwards into the wall, and two gunmen enter the room to kill Bond. It is later revealed to the audience that Ling was helping to stage Bond's death in order to keep his enemies off his back. Helga Brandt was very similar to prior Bond girl Fiona Volpe, as the producers tried to replicate their prior success. Search Site:. Every Bond Girl, Ranked Worst To Best | ScreenRant From sweet and innocent to homicidal, from incompetent dimwit to martial arts dynamo. So stupid she's coming in at the rock bottom of this list. As Goodnight tries Bond Girl help Bond stop the big boom, she makes things worse. Despite being a spy herself, her race is the only skill or personality trait the script gives Kissy. His script certainly celebrates how those wonderful Japanese women submit to their men, unlike pushy Western broads. At least she doesn't do anything as creepy as in the Fleming novel, Bond Girl she convinces an amnesiac Bond he really is her husband. Like several characters in this list, Goodhead starts out as a possible adversary, but after a couple of encounters, Bond Girl turns out to be an ally. Bond Girl the genocidal Drax requires flying the space shuttle, and Goodhead, not Bond, is the one who can Bond Girl it. Without Goodhead piloting Moonraker, Bond would have had no way to deactivate Drax's doomsday gas bombs. The performance is what places her this low. Former Charlie's Angels actor Tanya Roberts is a stunningly beautiful woman. Alas, everything Bond Girl about her role as Stacy Sutton, an oil heiress battling billionaire villain Zorin, is dreadful. Beauty can't triumph over a performance this wooden. She also has an annoying, wispy voice, except when she screams. Even with a good actor, the character wouldn't be that interesting. A View to a Kill is a very poor film, but Roberts is close to the worst thing in it. Like Goodhead, nuclear physicist Christmas Bond Girl brings something to the table besides stunning good looks. Bad girl Elektra King 12 is scheming to nuke Istanbul; Christmas understands nuclear technology. Unlike Holly Goodhead's astronaut skills, Christmas' know-how doesn't contribute much to stopping Elektra. That said, she's still more interesting than Stacy Sutton. With a good actor in the role, Christmas might rank several Bond Girl higher. Even so, she Bond Girl more understanding of what acting is than Roberts does. While rankings don't take character names into account, the ending pun on Jones' name is pretty Bond Girl. Bond should have Bond Girl when Bond Girl asked him earlier not to make one. Bond first Bond Girl her as mistress to Greene, the mysterious agent for the Quantum organization. After Greene decides to kill Montes as a security risk, Bond saves her. Given the Brosnan films had several memorable women, it's a shame Craig's run couldn't keep up the trend so far, anyway.

    JAMES BOND: SIGNIFYING CHANGING IDENTITY THROUGH THE COLD WAR AND BEYOND By Christina A. Clopton Submitted to Central European University Department of International Relations and European Studies In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Masters of Arts Supervisor: Professor Alexander Astrov CEU eTD Collection Budapest, Hungary 2014 Word Count: 12,928 Abstract The Constructivist paradigm of International Relations (IR) theory has provided for an ‘aesthetic turn’ in IR. This turn can be applied to popular culture in order to theorize about the international system. Using the case study of the James Bond film series, this paper investigates the continuing relevancy of the espionage series through the Cold War and beyond in order to reveal new information about the nature of the international political system. Using the concept of the ‘empty signifier,’ this work establishes the shifting identity of James Bond in relation to four thematic icons in the films: the villains, locations, women and technology and their relation to the international political setting over the last 50 years of the films. Bond’s changing identity throughout the series reveals an increasingly globalized society that gives prominence to David Chandler’s theory about ‘empire in denial,’ in which Western states are ever more reluctant to take responsibility for their intervention abroad. CEU eTD Collection i Acknowledgements I would like to extend my deepest gratitude to Professor Alexander Astrov for taking a chance with me on this project and guiding me through this difficult process. I would also like to acknowledge the constant support and encouragement from my IRES colleagues through the last year.

Khaled Sobhan, Ph.D. Interim Dean, Graduate College iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Jane Caputi for guiding me through this process. She was truly there from this paper’s incubation as it was in her Sex, Violence, and Hollywood class where the idea that James Bond could be repressing his homosexuality first revealed itself to me. She encouraged the exploration and was an unbelievable sounding board every step to fruition. Stephen Charbonneau has also been an invaluable resource. Frankly, he changed the way I look at film. His door has always been open and he has given honest feedback and good advice. Oliver Buckton possesses a knowledge of James Bond that is unparalleled. I marvel at how he retains such information.

  • Re a Kite Dancing in a Hurricane, Mr Bond’ the Elemental Encounters of James Bond
    ‘You’re a kite dancing in a hurricane, Mr Bond’ The Elemental Encounters of James Bond LISA FUNNELL AND KLAUS DODDS What would it mean to describe James Bond as a man in his element? As an ex- pression in English, being “in one’s element” usuall refers to someone or some- thing well suited to what the are doing. #he term often con%e s, when a human actor is in%ol%ed, a sense of comfort, en&o ment, and e%en pleasure. 'on%ersel , when we note that someone or something is “out of their element”, we highlight other emotions and sensations such as discomfort, dislocation, and distress. (ore often than not, this phrase is used to describe social and professional cir- cumstances li)e embar)ing on a new &ob and*or socialising with people outside of our usual sphere. But we can also mobilise this phrase to draw attention to a relationship with something more elemental, describing human and non-human interactions with water, air, earth, and +re. While being in our element is usu- all seen as a good thing, we use elemental expressions li)e “out of our depth” and “!eel the atmosphere” to suggest that social and ph sical pressures and !orces ma ha%e got the better of us.

  • Reading Bond Films Through the Lens of “Religion” Discourse of “The West and the Rest”
    Teemu Taira Reading Bond Films through the Lens of “Religion” Discourse of “the West and the Rest” ABSTRACT “Religion” has been absent from the study of James Bond films. Similarly, James Bond has been absent from studies on religion and popular culture. This article aims to fill the gap by examining 25 Bond films through the lens of “religion”. The analysis suggests that there are a number of references to “religion” in Bond films, although “religion” is typi- cally not a main topic of the films. Furthermore, there is a detectable pattern in the films: “religion” belongs primarily to what is regarded as not belonging to “the West” and “the West” is considered modern, developed and rational as opposed to the backward, exotic and “religious” “Rest”. When “religion” appears in “the West”, it is seen positively if it is related to Christianity and confined to the private sphere and to the rites of passage. In this sense, representations of “religion” in Bond films contribute to what Stuart Hall named the discourse of “the West and the Rest”, thus playing a role in the maintenance of the idea of “the West”. This will be demonstrated by focusing on four thematic ex- amples from the films: mythical villains, imperialist attitude to “religion” outside “the West”, “religion” central in the plot (voodoo and tarot), Christianity in “the West”. This article also provides grounds for suggesting that reading Bond films through the lens of “religion” contributes to both Bond studies and studies on religion and popular culture. KEYWORDS Religion, Film, James Bond, Popular Culture, the West, Discourse, Representation, Myth, Colonialism, Imperialism, Christianity, Secular, Rationality BIOGRAPHY Teemu Taira is Senior Lecturer in Study of Religion, University of Helsinki, and Docent in Study of Religion, University of Turku.

    GENDER, IDENTITY AND INFLUENCE: HONG KONG MARTIAL ARTS FILMS Gilbert Gerard Castillo, B.A. Thesis Prepared for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS December 2002 Approved: Donald E. Staples, Major Professor Harry Benshoff, Committee Member Harold Tanner, Committee Member Ben Levin, Graduate Coordinator of the Department of Radio, TV and Film Alan B. Albarran, Chair of the Department of Radio, TV and Film C. Neal Tate, Dean of the Robert B. Toulouse School of Graduate Studies Castillo, Gilbert Gerard, Gender, Identity, and Influence: Hong Kong Martial Arts Films. Master of Arts (Radio, Television and Film), December 2002, 78 pp., references, 64 titles. This project is an examination of the Hong Kong film industry, focusing on the years leading up to the handover of Hong Kong to communist China. The influence of classical Chinese culture on gender representation in martial arts films is examined in order to formulate an understanding of how these films use gender issues to negotiate a sense of cultural identity in the face of unprecedented political change. In particular, the films of Hong Kong action stars Michelle Yeoh and Brigitte Lin are studied within a feminist and cultural studies framework for indications of identity formation through the highlighting of gender issues. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First of all, I would like to thank the members of my committee all of whom gave me valuable suggestions and insights. I would also like to extend a special thank you to Dr. Staples who never failed to give me encouragement and always made me feel like a valuable member of our academic community.
