Samedi appears to work for Kananga, ostensibly to create concern among the many folks of San Monique by being a dwelling manifestation of the Baron Samedi spirit, but additionally operates on his personal as effectively. His true identification is rarely disclosed, and there appear to be a number of variations of him. Most importantly, after Bond seems to kill him by throwing him right into a coffin stuffed with toxic snakes, he’s seen sitting on the entrance of the practice carrying Bond and Solitaire on the finish of the film, laughing maniacally. Since continuity has by no means been an vital a part of the 007 collection, we by no means see him once more, however he stays one in all Bond’s eerier and extra enigmatic antagonists… and the one who acquired away.
7. Irma Bunt (On Her Majesty’s Secret Service)
Harsh, humorless, and devoted to Blofeld’s (Telly Savalas) plan to wage bacteriological struggle on the world by sending out stunning ladies carrying vials of loss of life, Irma Bunt (German actor Ilse Steppat, in her solely English-language function) is one den mom of doom you don’t wish to mess with. She is stern and controlling, ruthless and crafty, and gained’t hesitate to kill.

6. Fatima Blush (By no means Say By no means Once more)
This bombshell SPECTRE agent, performed with fireplace, fury, and unbridled sexiness by Barbara Carrera, makes the checklist regardless that her film, By no means Say By no means Once more, shouldn’t be a part of the official 007 collection overseen by Eon Productions. The story of how By no means Say By no means Once more got here into being is a protracted, sophisticated one, however in easiest phrases, it’s a remake of Thunderball for which Sean Connery was lured again to play Bond one final time—going head-to-head with Roger Moore’s Octopussy on the field workplace again in ’83.
As for Fatima, she’s a free remake herself of the subsequent character on this checklist, and Carrera vamps it up for all she’s value, taking excessive pleasure in inflicting chaos, committing homicide, or bedding Bond (their tryst on board a ship is among the hottest in any Bond movie, canon or not).

5. Fiona Volpe (Thunderball)
Though Thunderball is taken into account a 007 traditional, the soiled little secret of the movie is that it’s really a reasonably boring affair, particularly since predominant villain Emilio Largo is such a moist noodle of an antagonist. Thank the universe, then, for Fiona Volpe (Luciana Paluzzi). Not solely is she a red-headed stunner in a film stuffed with beautiful Bond ladies, however she is among the collection’ greatest femme fatales. Her company and authority inside SPECTRE itself make one want that she was the chief baddie and Largo a mere lackey.
