Putting aside A View to a Kill (1985) being a bit of a lame James Bond film for a number of reasons (a leathery Roger Moore being well past it, being the obvious one), it does have one redeeming feature which makes it notable; its antagonist, Max Zorin — played by the gawd of long pauses Christopher (❚❚) Walken.
Zorin, a product of Nazi biological experimentation and an ex-KGB agent, might have been a murderous psychopath by design, but his heart was in the right place with his desire to destroy Silicon Valley. Granted, laying subterranean explosives to trigger an earthquake, which in turn would have probably killed millions, isn't a step in the right direction. But knowing what we do today, Silicon Valley would have served the world better as a picturesque beauty spot, than the notorious tech hub appropriately dubbed The Nerd Reich.
Multi-billionaire tech moguls are practically real-life Bond villains with their spacecrafts and desires to have microchips in our brains, therefore, Zorin really was the person the world needed. If only he eased off the genocide part to his plot, and also not massacred his loyal employees.
Regardless how cliched it is, villains falling to their doom is easily one of my favourite film tropes. The mighty fall from grace harkens back to Lucifer being cast out from Heaven; elevated egos chopped down, innit? Max Zorin is given a similar fate off the Golden Gate Bridge, but what makes his death an unforgettable standout is his laugh once he realises he's about to become a cropper.
