Fiona Volpe

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

James Bond character
Fiona Volpe
Gender Female
Affiliation Emilio Largo, SPECTRE
Portrayed by Luciana Paluzzi

Fiona Volpe, played by Luciana Paluzzi, is a secondary villainess in the 1965 James Bond film Thunderball. A deadly assassin in SPECTRE's execution branch, she becomes NATO pilot Major Francois Derval’s mistress in the operation to steal the Vulcan and its precious cargo of two atomic bombs, which SPECTRE plans to use for a blackmail operation.

She organises Derval’s murder and kills Count Lippe by destroying his car with the missile launcher on her BSA motorcycle, after his numerous attempts to kill Bond fail. Volpe is later seen pushing the motorcycle into a pond, presumably to hide evidence.

Bond meets Volpe while hitchhiking, and she startles Bond with her fast driving. They soon arrive at their hotel in Nassau. Fiona holds Paula Caplan captive, but Caplan commits suicide by taking cyanide before revealing anything. Meanwhile she waits for Bond in his bathtub, she seduces him and they have erotic sex. Bond later describes her love making as pleasureless. But Fiona loved it. While dressing for the Junkanoo, Volpe lets in Vargas and another one of Emilio Largo's henchmen to hold Bond captive. Bond manages to flee Volpe and hide in the Junkanoo, but they soon catch up at the Kiss Kiss Club. Volpe approaches Bond as he is dancing with another woman. Assuming Volpe is his wife, the woman leaves, and the pair begin slow-dancing, while one of the other henchmen hides behind a curtain and aims a gun at Bond. Bond notices in time and spins Volpe into the bullet, piercing her spine and killing her. Leaving Volpe's corpse in a chair and the other henchmen in shock, Bond exits.

The death of Fiona has been a source of debate by Bond film fans for years, due to the ambiguous nature in which her killing is filmed. To some, Bond intentionally uses Fiona as a human shield to protect himself against a bullet, which would make Fiona the first woman in the Bond film series to be killed by 007. This is pariodied in Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me, in a scene in which Powers uses a female assassin to take an enormous amount of bullets for him.

Fiona Volpe: "Do you like wild things Mr. Bond, James Bond?"
[Fiona bites James on the shoulder]
James Bond: "Wild? You should be locked up in a cage."
[He starts kissing her on the lips and neck]
Fiona Volpe:[putting fingers on bed] "Mmm... this bed feels like a cage, all these bars. 
Do you think I'll be... [moans] SAFE!"

In the remake Never Say Never Again, also starring Sean Connery, this character is slightly modified as Fatima Blush.
