James Bond isn't quite as deadly on the screen as he was when we all played him on Nintendo 64's legendary Goldeneye 007 video game, but he still made short work of any number of psychotic evildoer in the name of Her Majesty the Queen. As a matter of fact, the world's most non-secret secret agent has killed so many people over the years it would take 38 minutes to see them all.

Luckily, someone compiled all those kills for us.


While they didn't include a count of clever puns, we can be reasonably sure the numbers mirror one another. But there is one other thing the video didn't break down: who was the deadliest Bond? Unless George Lazenby went on a murder rampage in On Her Majesty's Secret Service, my guess is it was probably one of the other five.

Here they are, the deadliest Bond by average kills per movie.

1. Timothy Dalton

Timothy Dalton takes a hard fall at number five here, with only two movies and 20 kills, giving him an average of 10. But Dalton does get two of the most interesting kills, one for killing someone by sealing them in a maggot-filled coffin and another kill where the murder weapon is a bust of the Duke of Wellington.

2. Sean Connery

Connery had two runs as the dashing secret agent hero, with a total of seven Bond films and an average kill count of 12.5. If Connery's Bond is in some way riding in a motor vehicle, look out: chances are good that someone is going to meet their maker very soon.

3. Daniel Craig

While Craig may not be the deadliest Bond, he is definitely the drunkest, averaging at least five drinks per movie.

Film and Television.

4. Roger Moore

Roger Moore's Bond is long-known to be both the quippiest and at times creepiest Bond, but he's also the second deadliest. The Bond films with the least number of kills, The Man With The Golden Gun, and the most number of kills, Octopussy, are both Roger Moore films. Still, it wasn't enough because even if you take out the one-kill outlier, it's not enough to catch up with...

5. Pierce Brosnan

Pierce Brosnan's Bond was Murder, Incorporated, far outpacing the kill rate of his nearest competitor (including one of Sean Bean's onscreen deaths). Keep this man away from any kind of explosives or firearms, almost every time he touches one, someone in the movie goes to walk with god.
