ScaramangaAppears in:

Actor:

  • Christopher Lee

Attempted methods of killing Bond:

  • Lures Bond to his private island for a duel.

How he is dispatched:
  • Bond shoots him in his Fun House after tricking him by changing places with a wax replica.


Evil scheme:

  • Gain power and wealth from the Solex Agitator stolen from the British scientist Gibson. Also, Scaramanga prided himself on being (he thought) the person capable of killing 007. He also considered himself Bond's equal, and/or, the "Dark side of [James] Bond" (and acted that way as well).

How plans were foiled:

  • He lures Bond to his island in hopes of defeating him in a duel, but of course, Bond wins and Francisco Scaramanga is turned to ashes when his private island explodes.

Henchmen:


Defining dialogue:

Bond: "Six bullets to your one?"

Scaramanga: "I only need one."



Distinguishing characteristic:
  • A 'superfluous' third nipple.
  • A Golden Gun with which he could kill someone with a single shot.
Trivia
  • Christopher Lee is semi-related to Bond author Ian Fleming: his mother married Fleming's uncle Harcourt Rose while he was a child, therefore the relation is not by blood. In the years before Fleming's death, Lee was commonly his golf partner.
  • Prior to Scarmanga, Lee was offered and accepted the role of Dr. Julius No in the very first Bond film, but the filmmakers instead went with Joseph Wiseman.
  • Initially a star of the Hammer horror films of the 50s and 60s (particularly in the role of Dracula), Lee relished his role as Scaramanga in breaking type from his repetitive roles in the horror genre. After Bond, Lee would have a prominent film career in several other notable film series, including Count Dooku in the Star Wars series and Sauruman the White in the Lord of the Rings trilogy, as well as appearing in several films by director Tim Burton.

I believe scaramanga is one of the best villains because he has a master plan, a cool secret lair, his own personalized weapon, and a distinctive third nipple, but most of all somebody worthy of 007(that isnt a henchmen)
