Encyclopedia > Bond Villains

A series of memorably despicable villains is a signature of the James Bond film series. From the beginning with Dr. No's attempted destruction of an American rocket, to Colonel Moon/Gustav Graves' recent assault on the Korean Demilitarized Zone, James Bond's foes have been one of the most important reasons for the film series' continued popularity.
