Xenia Zaragevna Onatopp (Russian: Ксения Сергеевна Онатопп) is a fictional character in the James Bond film GoldenEye, played by actress Famke Janssen.

[edit] Biography

Onatopp, born in the former Soviet republic of Georgia, was a fighter pilot in the Soviet Air Force. After the collapse of the USSR, she joined the crime syndicate Janus, led by renegade MI6 agent Alec Trevelyan. Early in the movie, Bond gets into a car chase with her, meets her at a casino, and places her under surveillance.

Her main characteristic is that she apparently can receive sexual satisfaction through killing. In a memorable scene, she lures a Canadian admiral Chuck Farrell (Billy J. Mitchell) onto his yacht moored off Monte Carlo. While the two are having sex, she suddenly wraps her legs around him and crushes his chest between her thighs, achieving orgasm while killing him. Afterward, a man (possibly Janus) steals the admiral's ID, enabling her and an unidentified Janus operative (more than likely Janus [Trevelyan] himself) to steal a prototype of the Eurocopter Tiger, which was scheduled for a high-profile test flight the following day.

Her sadistic sexual proclivities, coupled with her overall lack of conscience, would seem to qualify her as a psychopath.

Later, she and turncoat Russian General Arkady Ourumov use the hijacked Tiger in an attack on the Severnaya satellite control center in central Siberia, where they steal the controller for the GoldenEye electromagnetic pulse (EMP) satellite weapon. During the attack, she fires an AKSU-74 carbine/sub-machine gun around the control room, murdering all the military personnel and technicians present, again getting sexually aroused in the process.

She encounters Bond two more times during the film, attempting to crush him between her thighs on both occasions. The first time, she comes on to him in a turkish bath in a Russian hotel, attempting to lower his guard before catching him in the deathly grip of her bare thighs. Clad in only a bathrobe, she initially kisses him. Xenia pulls away, with Bond's lower lip clenched in her teeth. Bond pushes her to the wall. Bond goes for his gun but Xenia kicks him to the ground before he can get it. She jumps on top of him and they roll around the floor together. Bond gets on top of Xenia and grabs her throat. Xenia smiles and says: "You think you can hurt me?"

After James gets off of her, he goes for the gun. Xenia gets up too and pushes him onto the massage table, jumps on him and wraps her long legs around his waist, choking him with her thighs and hands, which are around his neck, eventually achieving orgasm. Bond gets up, with Xenia still hanging on with her legs, and slams her against the wall. Xenia kisses him passionately and squeezes harder breaking a bone or two. After this Bond begins slamming Xenia into walls harder. Bond survives her sexually aggressive assault by putting her on the steam grate and forces her with his gun to lead him to Janus. The second time is after he and Natalya Simonova, the only innocent survivor of the Severnaya attack, enter Cuba to stop Trevelyan.

Onatopp rappels from a helicopter onto Bond, who is just awakening, and quickly gains the upper hand in their battle. She gets Bond between her legs and says: "This time, Mr. Bond, the pleasure will be all mine." After this she licks his face and begins to squeeze his ribcage with her legs. Just as Bond is ready to pass out from the pressure, he connects the rope she rappelled down to her safety harness, grabs her AK-74 rifle that was slung across her back and kills the helicopter's pilot by shooting into the helicopter's cockpit from the ground. The chopper veers away, pulling Onatopp off Bond and trapping her in a fork of a tree, with her chest being crushed by her safety harness. She dies just before the chopper crashes. After Onatopp's death, Bond tells Natalya that "She always did enjoy a good squeeze." She is the second woman ever killed by Bond, the first being Naomi, Karl Stromberg's helicopter pilot, in The Spy Who Loved Me and later on Elektra King (played by Sophie Marceau) in The World Is Not Enough, bringing the total to only three. She is the first Bond girl to make love to someone other than Bond onscreen, and the first to express anything close to an orgasm.

[edit] Other appearances

Onatopp has appeared in a number of James Bond video games as a playable multiplayer character. Her first appearance was in the 1997 video game adaptation of GoldenEye, GoldenEye 007 for the Nintendo 64. Similar to the film, she is killed in the jungles of Cuba after battling with Bond.

In the James Bond game Nightfire, Xenia also appears as a multiplayer character. She can be unlocked by a cheat on the cheats menu and the code is JANUS, the organisation she worked for in the movie.

She later appeared in the spinoff Bond game, GoldenEye: Rogue Agent where she worked for Dr. Julius No and was GoldenEye's alluring opponent. She is killed in Rogue Agent after being blown off the Hoover Dam when attempting to crush GoldenEye between her legs. In the game she was voiced by actress Jenya Lano. However, in the Nintendo DS version of Goldeneye, the OMEN kills her because there is no Hoover Dam level.

[edit] Trivia

  • Xenia is the first character in the 'true' continuity (Which does not include the old Casino Royale and Never Say Never Again) to have sex on-screen, during her lovemaking with the admiral. She's also the first to have an orgasm.
  • Famke's character also caused the cancellation of the Goldeneye miniseries of comics, due to the sexually provocative cover to Issue #2, which featured her straddling Bond with a gun to her face. The opening pages also depicted her orgasmic killing at Severnaya, which contributed, but given that only Bond fans would buy the Topps' adaptation, many view this as a poor reason for cancellation. A few copies are available, however, due to the writer paying for a select number to be printed.

Gender Male
Role Henchman

Current status Deceased
Portrayed by Alan Cumming

Boris Ivanovich Grishenko (Russian: Борис Иванович Грищенко) is a fictional character in the James Bond film GoldenEye played by Scottish actor Alan Cumming.

He is a brilliantly talented computer programmer and cracker who has hacked the United States Department of Justice. He is also backstabbing and arrogant, often shouting "I am invincible!" whenever he succeeds. Boris frequently spins pens with his hands while working.

Boris works at the Severnaya observatory in Siberia which watches over the two weapons satellites, Petya and Mischa. Boris left the observatory for a cigarette only minutes before its destruction by the Petya satellite. He had actually slipped away and flew off with General Arkady Ouromov and Xenia Onatopp, having allied himself with Alec Trevelyan to steal the GoldenEye satellite. His main purpose with Janus is to operate the GoldenEye satellite in exchange for a share of the profits.

Boris helps his comrades kidnap Natalya Simonova, the only other survivor of the attack on Severnaya.

While attempting to crack the access codes for the GoldenEye, he obtains a grenade disguised as a pen from Bond's wide arsenal of gadgets. The explosive properties of the pen are unknown to him. The pen needs to be clicked three times to arm the grenade, and an additional three times to disarm it, which Boris does out of a nervous habit. Bond knocks the pen out of his hand leading to an explosion that destroys much of the control center, giving Bond and Natalya a perfect opportunity to escape.

After the satellite control room is destroyed, Boris is amazed to see he managed to survive the incident, prompting him to jump up and shout his trademark exclamation ("I am invincible!") — at which point a vat of liquid nitrogen explodes, freezing him instantly, but apparently not killing him. He shows up in the videogame chronologically earlier than the incident at Severnaya.

[edit] Boris in GoldenEye 007 video game

Boris appears twice in GoldenEye 007, a video game for the Nintendo 64 based on the movie. The first time the player meets him is in the Severnaya observatory, where he is simply known as "Programmer". The player coerces him into disabling the security on a mainframe. This event does not occur in the movie, as Bond never goes to the observatory in Severnaya in the movie.

The next time the player sees him is in the satellite control center. When they meet, Boris fumbles with a PP7, then begs for his life claiming "Trevelyan made me do it!" If the player waits a moment, Boris will run away shouting his trademark line from the movie, "I am invincible!" The player can follow him until he ducks into a vent and mysteriously vanishes in a secret room with a Body Armor powerup. This, like the player's previous encounter with him, is exclusive to the game. If Boris is killed in this scene, Natalya gets angry with Bond and refuses to operate the computer. As a result, the mission is failed. However if Boris is killed in the secret room Natalya will not be aware of his death.

Boris is also playable as a multiplayer character.

  • "Better luck next time, slugheads!"
  • "They're right in front of you, and they open very large doors."
  • [shaking a malfunctioning computer monitor vigorously] "Speak to me!"

[edit] Ourumov

Current status Deceased
Portrayed by Gottfried John

Arkady Grigorovich Ourumov (Russian: Аркадий Григорович Урумов) is a fictional character in the James Bond film GoldenEye, played by Gottfried John.

[edit] Biography

By the time the main story from GoldenEye takes place, Ourumov is a General and the Russian head of the space division. Previously, he was a former Soviet Colonel in charge of a Russian chemical weapons factory in the pre-title sequence. It is there that he interrupts Bond and Alec Trevelyan in the middle of a mission, shoots Trevelyan in the head and nearly captures Bond, who nurtures a grudge against the Colonel for years afterward, believing that he killed his partner and friend.

The shooting was staged though; Trevelyan lives and becomes an international terrorist and thief called "Janus." He employs the now-General Ourumov, who is in charge of the Severnaya Space Facility in Siberia, to help him steal the GoldenEye satellite. Ourumov accompanies Xenia Onatopp to Severnaya, where she murders all the staff she can find. Ourumov later reports to Dmitri Mishkin, who informs him that the Severnaya incident was the work of Siberian separatists and that only one computer technician, Boris Grishenko, was missing. Mishkin criticises Ourumov for coming to such a fast conclusion when unbeknownst to Ourumov, Natalya Simonova also lived and escaped the incident.

Later, upon hearing that Mishkin has Bond and Natalya in custody, Ourumov storms into the cell wherein Mishkin is interrogating the pair. Ourumov shoots Mishkin using Bond's gun to make it look like 007 shot Mishkin, and then attempts to kill him and Natalya to make it seem they were killed while trying to escape. Although they both escape the cell, Natalya is eventually captured by Ouromov's men. In the following sequence Bond drives a Russian tank through the streets of St. Petersburg following Ouromov's car, leaving behind a path of destruction. Ourumov boards Trevelyan's armoured train, taking Natalya with him. Bond parks his tank in the path of the train and brings the train to a halt. Bond boards the train, and after holding Trevelyan and Onatopp at gunpoint, he demands Natalya's release. Ourumov is killed when Trevelyan and Onatopp make the General into a sacrificial lamb, throwing him in the path of Bond's AKS-74U so they can escape.

[edit] Ourumov in GoldenEye 007 video game

In GoldenEye 007, a video game for Nintendo 64 based on the movie, Ourumov appears in a number of the game's missions, initially when the then-Colonel murders 006, another in which Bond infiltrates a Russian facility in Kyrgyzstan to investigate an unscheduled test firing of a missile, believed to be a cover for the launch of a GoldenEye satellite, and lastly in a mission aboard Janus' armoured train, where the General is holding Natalya Simonova at gunpoint. As in the movie, Bond shoots the General while in the train, thus saving Natalya's life.
