Talk:Bond girl

Should the list of Bond girls be here, rather than in James Bond? What do people think? --Daniel C. Boyer 13:15, 14 Aug 2003 (UTC)

Sounds reasonable to me. Rmhermen 13:29, Aug 14, 2003 (UTC)

Shouldn't the names of the characters be listed with the actresses? --Ckape 01:19, 13 Dec 2003 (UTC)

Is there a page on Bond villains ? Jay 17:26, 4 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Jenny Flex and Naomi

This list basically features all the female character with whom Bond had some sort of romantic/sexual encounter. Should Jenny Flex from A View to a Kill and Naomi from Spy Who Loved Me be listed? I don't recall them being any more than eye candy (and minor villains), as opposed to romantic conquests. The same could be said for Peaceful Fountains of Desire in "Die Another Day" although Bond did, at least, have a couple of moments with her. Thoughts? 23skidoo 16:38, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

-If- they had screen time with Bond then I'd say they count. K1Bond007 17:31, Jun 10, 2005 (UTC)

OK, that covers Naomi sufficiently, but IIRC Jenny Flex only met Bond for about 2 seconds in AVTAK. But I haven't seen the movie for ages so I may be wrong. Wasn't there also an Oriental girl alongside Jenny? 23skidoo 00:57, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Truth be told, AVTAK is my least favorite Bond film. I've only seen it...maybe twice. :) K1Bond007 05:19, Jun 11, 2005 (UTC)

Criteria suggestion

Further to K1Bond007's comment during a recent edit, there does seem to be a popular misconception as to what a Bond girl is. I have seen women with walk-on roles given the title Bond girl and promoted as such, for example. K1Bond007 suggests scaling back. My suggestion is since the term "eye candy Bond girl" has already been established, maybe the key is to break the listing down into major Bond girls, minor Bond girls, and then eye candy. For example, in OHMSS Tracy would be the only major Bond girl, while the two Piz Gloria patients Bond sleeps with would be listed as minor Bond girls, and the remaining girls (including the one played by Joanna Lumley) would be listed as Eye-candy Bond girls. Similarly we could list female characters who don't really interact with Bond as eye-candy such as Jenny Flex from AVTAK, and maybe Madonna from DAD as well since except for flirting with Bond she just stands in the background and watches him swordfight. Thoughts? 23skidoo 02:22, 7 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I'd rather not do Major vs Minor. Perhaps just leave as is and create an "eye-candy" section. Otherwise you gotta define what makes one minor, while the term "eye-candy" is already loaded with a definition. My problem with the list was that I didn't see a reason to list "The Australian girl" and and so on in OHMSS when total they had about 3 minutes on screen. I wouldn't consider them Bond girls.K1Bond007 02:34, September 7, 2005 (UTC)

Agreed. I think they fit the eye candy criteria, however, so I agree that at least an Eye Candy section should be created. 23skidoo 05:08, 7 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Suggestive Names

Should there be mention of the suggestive names that some Bond girls have? Pussy Galore, Holly Goodhead, Xenia Onatopp, etc. It's a well known enough feature that Myers spoofed it after all... Bob the Pirate 16:36, 3 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

It's mentioned in the first paragraph. If you want to expand, please do so. K1Bond007 17:10, 3 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Either here or in the Goldfinger article it might be worth noting that studio heads at one point wanted Pussy Galore to be renamed Kitty Galore or some such for the movie version. 23skidoo 21:02, 3 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Doh, didn't notice that. Bob the Pirate 15:42, 4 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
