The Most Badass James Bond Moments

James Bond has us believing he may be a long lost Kryptonian when he steals the motorcycle from the man previously seen hunting him down. With a flick of the wrist, Bond flips the bike in loop, causing the rider to fall into prime ass-whooping position. Plus, it's a great way to steal said bike.

Originally, Roger Moore was simply going to throw a dinky pin into the passenger seat to cause Locque's cliff-hanging Mercedes to teeter off the edge. But that's corny, not badass. What seals the deal (and puts this closer to the number one spot) is Bond's finishing move: a swift kick to the side that sends the car spinning to its doom. Maybe if Locque had worn his seatbelt, he would have survived.

Now you know what to get a Bond fan for a wedding present.

Bond crawls out of the second tanker's wreckage to discover Sanchez waiting to slice him up courtesy of a dingy machete. But before the mob boss has a moment to act, Bond works wonders with a lighter given to him by his dear friend Felix. You could light about 19 cigarettes with the flame that shoots out of this puppy, making it perfect to light up Sanchez's gas-soaked suit.

The second kill is always easier, but the first makes for a hell of a story.

Bond recounts to fallen MI6 officer Dryden his run-in with his second-in-command and the rough time he had finishing him off. The stark black and white depiction makes the act all the more horrifying and grimy, but it's Bond's second kill that's even more badass. Before Dryden can make his slimy quip, Bond puts one in his head, agreeing with his sentiment that practice makes perfect when taking out bad guys.

The introduction that put Bond (James Bond) on the map.

Sean Connery lets every syllable drip out of his mouth while still clinging to his lengthy cigarette as he turns his own name into an iconic phrase. Thank God he decided not to include his middle name, Herbert. Wouldn't have the same ring.

Elektra thinks she's so beautiful, no man in the world would dare kill her. Wrong.

Bond asks nicely for Elektra to call off her plan to destroy Russia's oil pipeline. She gives him those pouty, little lips and proceeds with her plan. Bond doesn't wait -- he plants one directly in her chest. Haven't people learned that this guy doesn't crack jokes that aren't puns?

The coolest thing Roger Moore's Bond will ever do. No competition.

The opening to Moonraker features Bond, an nasty pilot and the iconic Jaws leaping from a plane and fighting for the coveted parachute. They punch, kick and spend a solid two minutes flying through air -- a stunt that would make Christopher Nolan pee his pants even today.

After Licence to Kill, the producers of the Bond franchise felt that the series had gone too dark, too realistic. Where was the bombastic, corniness of the Roger Moore days!?! Someone actually wondered that.

You can see why the thought crossed their minds: Dalton's Bond doesn't pull punches and lets the blood fly when necessary. In this case, the backstabbing agent Killifer reaches out to Bond to save him from the hungry shark waiting for him in the tank below. Considering he just ruined his best friend's life, Bond replies with a punch that sends Killifer directly into the shark's razor sharp jaws. It's kind of like helping -- think of it as assisted suicide.

Easily in the top ten fist fights of all time, Bond's showdown with Grant in the car of a train is intense and compact in all the right ways. Just enough breathing room to throw solid punches while giving both men no wiggle room for escape. Someone's going to die, and while you probably can guess who wins, neither is going down without a bloody fight.
