Hey all. Desperate boredom calls for desperate measures. So I've decided that, when I can, I'll bestow on all you Innmates a top 10 list of everything bond. Movies, Theme songs, Villians, Gadgets, Girls, you name it. Now, these are just my personal opinions, and are in no way official past me saying they are. Plus, I'd like to get some opinions going here. So shoot back to me whatcha think.
Today I have for you my top 10 fist fights. As any of you who know me know, my favorite part of any bond movie is watching Bond and the bad guy beat eachother to a bloody pulp at the film's climax. So lets get this train wreck a-rollin'!

10: On Her Majesty's Secret Service- Beach Fight
- George Buttchin-Bond Lazenby scrapes in here at number 10 with the pre-credits knock-down from his only outing as 007. It gets points for being considerably more brutal than your average movie in 1969. Point and case? He takes one guy out with an anchor and then drowns the poor sucker. That's Daniel Craig's turf, right there. Plus, some of those haymakers look like they genuinely smart.

9: You Only Live Twice- Hans the Bodyguard
- While a lot of people debate the overall quality of this particular movie, it did have one particularly entertaining fight that pitted Sean Connery against Blofeld's German Bodyguard, Hans. It's notable for hinting a lot at the kind of stuff we'd be seeing later on in the series. Plus, when you step out of context and see it for what it really is (A Brit and a German beating the crap out of eachother in the middle of Japan) You can also appreciate it a bit more for its absurdity, really.

8: A View To A Kill- Max Zorin on the Goldengate Bridge
- The most critically slammed Bond slides into eighth with the most critically slammed Bond movie. However, it's climactic sequence where Bond and Max Zorin Duke it out atop the Goldengate bridge is admirably shot. Plus, anything involving an enraged Christopher Walken with a fire axe is totally effing sweet.

7: Thunderball- Bond vs Largo & Assorted Bad Guys
- Again with the Con Shawnerry. Thunderball ended with an excellent fight where Bond takes on a large assortment of bad guys aboard a speeding boat. It's one of the more impressive fights from the Connery era, with props a-plenty being tossed about. However, I'm gonna have to dock it some points here becasue the producers thought it would somehow be genius move to have Sean Connery do the whole scene without wearing pants.

6: Goldfinger- The Oddjob Fight
- As far as my knowledge extends, this one here is a fan favorite, particularly because of how unnerving it is to watch. The producers decided to leave the scene unscorred, so the only noise you hear for most of it is Oddjob's omonous footsteps as he clearly savors the whole cat-and-mouse approach he's taking. Also, Bond looks geniunely scared here. You didn't get a reaction like that in the 60s-70s movies. And finally, Oddjob's death is probably one of the most famous (and awesomest) in the series. Zap.

5: The Living Daylights- Cargo Plane Fisticuff
- So, some of you may know (or in Grugg's case, begrudge me) that Timothy Dalton actually ranks pretty high on my list of Bonds. But hey, few people will argue that he's what the series needed after Roger Moore's Beach Boys Snowboarding scene a movie prior. And this scene is probably the exact instant the the series returned to form. For most of TLD, We're seeing subpar villians running about (Joe Don Baker, anyone? Didn't think so.). Here, Bond faces off against another henchman from the school of "I would be German if I had any effing lines" in a brilliantly coreographed fight in the back of, and later, in the cargo net hanging out the back of, a military cargo plane. John Barry also puts forth some of his best work here to really up the tension here. Another one of these rare "will Bond actually make it?" moments ensues.

4: Tomorrow Never Dies- Mr. Stamper
- Pierce Brosnan's second outing as 007 concludes with an awesome, but all too short, faceoff with another classic German henchman. The result is the only real "will Bond actually make it?" moment of the Brosnan era. There's a particularly awesome moment where the badguy's reaction to getting knifed in the shoulder is just to punch bond again and inform him that he "owes him and unpleasant death". One of my favorite lines in the series. Points to the writers for bringing back the combination of near-invincbility and the love of the job that made henchmen like Oddjob and Red Grand so classic.

3: Goldeneye- Antenna Cradle Beatdown
- Getting into the good stuff here, folks. To tell you the truth, this and number two were a toss-up. The latter won out purely because of the music. The lack thereof here is my only complaint. So here, Pierce Brosnan and Sean Bean really go to town on eachother in probably the most violent fight in the Brosnan era. Really gets the adrenaline going.

2: Casino Royale- Stairwell Fight
- An amazingly staged battle royale (no pun intended) ensues in Casino Royale that blows away any remaining doubts as to Daniel Craig's purpose as Bond after the pre-credits sequence (Honorable mention to that doozy, too). Bond and a frothingly pissed off African freedom fighter go at it on a narrow hotel stairway throwing and hurling and flipping and beating and slicing eachother and themselves onto each and every level until Bond finally finishes him off with a tension filled throttling sequence at the bottom. Amazing work.

1: From Russia With Love- Train Fight
- Regarded by some as the best fight scene ever filmed, this forty six year old sequence is still extremely impressive and manages to surpass most of today's standards. There really isn't any one part that sticks out, but it seriously looks like the actors are trying to kill eachother here. Its really something to watch. Go check it out.

Well, that's my top ten fight scene list of the Bond movies. I'll get back to yall when I know what I'm doing next time. But until then, lets here some opinions.

Timothy Dalton was a horrible bond. THERE I SAID IT.

Although I agree with a lot of it, but must say, seeing Jaws say "Here's to us" and toasting with his tiny space girlfriend deserves a spot on the list for just how horrible it was.
