Is CR the first and only Bond movie where all the Bond girls died?


I know OHMSS had its death scene at the end, but the other Bond girls survived right?

Yes, I believe Casino Royale was the first Bond film where both of the main girls died... unless I'm forgetting something.


Unless, of course, you count Judi Dench as a Bond girl. :tup:

Huh. Never thought about that. Yeah...it looks like another first in CR. Good spot, EL7.

I made the mistake of going to the IMDb trivia page before the movie came out and they mentioned it was a first for the series... and they spoiled Vesper's death for me.

Unless you count career death.

It is inferred that Valenka also died, in addition to Vesper and Solange.

You didn't know she was going to die? Fleming decided her fate over fifty years ago.

I hadn't read the book at that time. Back then I only knew Bond through the movies.

Is it? I can't remember offhand.

Does Mathis say something about it? How do you remember?

Remember Valenka and Le Chiffre's other thugs take Vesper into the next room, and then we hear a bunch of silenced gunshots, and then Mr. White emerges from the room with a silenced pistol, implying that he just iced Le Chiffre's entire posse.

Yep. Wasn't a lucky movie for Bond girls. Vesper, Solange, Valenka...
