How Many People Has James Bond Killed Over The Years? Surprisingly Not That Many, As A New Supercut Shows

James Bond, the British secret agent with a license to kill, has done just that on more than a few occasions. Over the course of 24 films, he's shot, stabbed and blown to bits supervillains and henchmen a-plenty.

The fine folks at Auralnauts have done kill count videos for Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger and, most recently, Jean-Claude Van Damme. Now, they've tackled the monumental task of watching 24 films and compiling each kill into one massive supercut, and you can watch every one of them here.

It's 38 minutes of nonstop action, as Bond fights his way through each movie, delivering some killer puns along the way. Wondering what counts as a kill in the video? Auralnauts have laid out some ground rules for how they tallied up the score.

1. Guns, blades and projectiles always kill, unless otherwise depicted.
2. Close proximity explosions kill, unless otherwise depicted.
3. Indirect kills as a result of an explicit action by Bond count.
4. Kills must occur onscreen or be reasonably indicated through onscreen action.
5. Dream sequences, fantasies or movies within a movie count. If it's onscreen, it's a kill.
6. Actors that are killed more than once count each time.

At the end of the video, it's revealed Bond has killed 362 people. That sounds like a lot, but it's actually fewer than Van Damme, Stallone or Schwarzenegger. Even though Bond has been around much longer (the film franchise started 53 years ago), it turns out 007 isn't quite as ruthless as some of the other big action characters out there.

So, who is the deadliest Bond? That would be Roger Moore, dishing out 121 kills. As for Bond's killing method of choice, that would be an assortment of firearms, which shouldn't come as any surprise for those who have watched the films.

No doubt, the kill count will even higher when the latest Bond film, Spectre, releases in theaters this November.
