10 Evil Bond Girls Who Wanted to Kill 007

James Bond dated dozens of Bond girls in the 25s James Bond films, but some Bond Girls were villainous henchmen who wanted to kill 007. Evil Bond Girls are a staple of the 007 franchise such as vodka martinis, Bond's Aston Martin DB5 and the many women who were James Bond's lovers in his various films. In some cases, evil Bond girls tried to execute James after sleeping with him.

Interestingly, two versions of James Bond didn't face totally homicidal Bond Girls. Timothy Dalton's two Bond films, The living lights of the day (1987) and License to kill (1989), there was a lack of Bond Girls who dedicated themselves to the assassination of 007. Daniel Craig's James Bond films featured several Bond Girls, including the iconic Vesper Lynd (Eva Green) in Royal Casino (2006) and the underrated Dr. Madeleine Swann (Lea Seydoux) in Spectrum (2015) and There's no time to die (2021), but Craig's 007 also didn't fight the evil Bond girls to end his life.

Sean Connery, George Lazenby, Roger Moore and Pierce Brosnan's James Bonds, however, weren't so lucky. Here are 10 Deadly Bond Girls Who Tried (and Failed) to Kill 007.

Volpe was also sent to personally assassinate James Bond in the Bahamas.

Of course, Fiona Volpe slept with James Bond before mocking him that his legendary charms don't work on her. Volpe and his SPECTER henchmen hunted Bond via a Junkanoo, with 007 wounded by a gunshot.

Irma Bunt (Ilse Steppat)

However, no evil Bond Girl hurt James Bond (George Lazenby) like Irma Bunt did.

After Bond believed he had killed Blofeld in the Swiss Alps, 007 married his true love, Tracy Di Vincenzo (Diana Rigg).

Miranda Frost (Rosamund Pike)

I tried to kill James Bond in Die Another Day

Jinx killed Miranda Frost in a pitched battle, stabbing her with a dagger impaled with a copy of "The Art of War." When James Bond When the films return, there will almost certainly be more evil Bond girls trying to kill 007.
