GoldenEye (1995)

She always did enjoy a good squeeze

Bond’s quip from GoldenEye is one of those classics that lands somewhere between perfectly timed and slightly cheeky for the moment. Coming after a brutal fight with Xenia Onatopp, it feels like Bond blows off adrenaline with this dark joke, even though it has some truth to it. Xenia herself remains one of the most distinctive villains/henchmen with a lethal embrace that is both effective and fetishized. She’s quite the psycho, but also very attractive. I’m sure Bond recognized this instantly and thought, “I can fix her” but failed miserably.
