James Bond

James Bond


Quantum of Solace has hit DVD shelves this week which sees Daniel Craig reprise his role as 007 after the success of 2006's Casino Royale.

The film is a direct sequel to Casino Royale as Bond fights to uncover who pushed Vesper to betray him. despite mixed reviews when it was released last year Quantum of Solace went on to become the second highest grossing Bond movie of all time.

However you may have noticed over the years that James Bond has bedded an awful lot of women, fifty one to be precise, and a fairly sizeable number have ended up dead.

Yes of the fifty one women the super smooth spy has bedded over twenty two film and forty seven years sixteen of them have met their maker, usually in rather an unpleasant and violent way.

And to say that Daniel Craig has only been in the role for two movies his sex=death body count is already beginning to mount up. In Casino Royale Solange and Vesper Lynd both died after jumping in the sack with 007 and it was Strawberry Fields, who drowned in crude oil, that died in Quantum of Solace.

It seems that Camille, played by Olga Kurylenko, had the right idea by staying well clear of the bedroom.

1964 brought the first death as Jill Masterson died from skin suffocation after being covered in gold paint after getting in it on with Sean Connery's Bond in Goldfinger in 1964.

However it seems that Roger Moore had the kiss of death as over a quarter of the women he bedded ending up dead, Countess Lisl, Ursula Anders are just a couple of his conquests who met a grisly end.

But the most famous of these deaths has to be Tracy Draco in On Her Majesty's Secret Service, in which George Lazenby played 007.

Played by Diana Rigg the character of Tracy is the only woman that Bond married in the franchise of movies. However the marriage didn't last long as she was gunned down just minutes after the ceremony by a sidekick of Ernst Blofeld.

With Bond 23 in the pipeline, which sees Craig returning, only time will tell how many poor and unsuspecting women will end up dead after a night with one of cinema's most dangerous lovers.

Quantum of Solace is out on DVD now
