James Bond Gets 16 Kills Per Film

In his 50 years since Dr. No premiered on the big screen, James Bond has actually killed more people than any of his villains ever have. The British press have learned that on average you get 16 kills per each 007 film, and Daniel Craig’s Skyfall promises to up that average.

Currently, Daniel Craig’s 007 is low man on the totem pole with only 27 kills, but Skyfall promises to get this James Bond up to speed, possibly rivaling Pierce Brosnan’s GoldenEye where he took out 47 villains. Brosnan is at the top of the kill heap with 135 kills under his belt in four films while Roger Moore has 90 and Sean Connery third with 72 in his six films.

The British Guardian tallied up a total of 352 people that Bond has killed for the Queen which averages 16 per film rivaling many Friday the 13th, Nightmare On Elm Street and Halloween movies. Daniel Craig, having signed on for two more 007 stints will easily bring that number higher as the villains in his world keep increasing.
