Bond villain - 1 reference result
The James Bond novels and films are notable for their memorably despicable villains and henchmen. From Le Chiffre's encounter with Bond in the original Casino Royale novel in 1953 to his appearance in the 2006 film adaptation alongside the sinister Mr. White, Bond's foes have been one of the most important reasons for the book and film series' continued popularity.
