There are a few crucial ingredients for a 007 flick: a gadget-laden car, a perfectly tailored tuxedo, a ridiculously evil villain with a similarly ridiculous plan for world domination. But most important are the Bond girls. Whether an ally or enemy, Bond girls almost always look amazing, show their tough and their sensitive sides, and more often than not wind up making out with 007 in a boat. With Quantum of Solace hitting the theaters up next week, we're opening the MI6 files on all the women who left Mr. Bond both shaken and stirred.
