- sgt 7y agoBond was more of an assassin AND spy. A spassassin.
- sizzzzlerz 7y agoActually, in all the Bond movies, I don't recall him ever having a mission to spy per your definition. Spies are typically used in situations between countries and many of Bonds foes clearly weren't countries, e.g., Goldfinger, Dr. No, Drax. They were just super criminals without allegiance to any country. The closest classic spy movie I recall was From Russia With Love but even that involved SPECTRE more than Russian.
