Destroy his car, steal his gadgetry -- James Bond could give a hoot. But do not, do NOT, grab the man's tie. To a British secret service agent, that's the equivalent of kicking a man in the groin. A balding thug learns the heard way when he keeps from falling off a building by holding tightly to Bond's necktie. As both a spy and fashion icon, Bond's kill is elegant as it is ruthless: a simple slap to the tie sends the bad guy falling flat on his face.
