31 Day James Bond Challenge. Day 22

 

22


Hmmmm.  I think I'm gonna go with General Orlov from Octopussy. A barking mad Russian army man with plans to invade Europe, played with gleeful relish by Steven Berkoff. He's a bad bastard but he's so hilariously over the top you can't help but smile everytime he's on screen. Plus in an ironic twist he's gunned down by his own countrymen who mistakenly think he's defecting to the west he hates so much. And then he gives us his final gift, one of the hammiest death scenes of the 80's. Perfect.
