Was about to add popping the baboon and not policing the remains in TLD but I think we jumped the shark by taking this too seriously.

"Popping the baboon" sounds like it ought to be a euphemism for something. Not quite sure what, though.

Does this look like the face of a man who would use a euphemism?
Um, ok maybe it does .

Ah, you were making a funny by saying "baboon" instead of "balloon". I was genuinely struggling to remember when Bond killed a monkey in TLD. Gibraltar, perhaps?

the freaking app goes back to correct words, apple software will change whole sentences right before sending a text especially if you use the microphone.

You shouldn't have said anything. I thought it was a joke.

Yours right It's better as a joke but the app keeps pissing me off so I go back to correct a lot of things everywhere I post

Probably not Kris, but dropping Sandor could do I think, as he becomes an inanimate object. What a helpful chap! :)
I thought of this thread again more recently. If we're going to allow Sandor then by the same reasoning there are two more instances of littering in the PTS of FYEO where first the helicopter pilot and then Blofeld with his electric wheelchair are dropped by Bond. This assumes that Blofeld did become an inanimate object and also that dropping waste into a chimney qualifies as littering given that it is not entirely outdoors - I suppose it does! :)

Looks like FYEO is quickly becoming one of the most littery outings for Bond! We don't see him removing the climbing gear later in the movie that fell off the cliff face although I suppose in that instance it wasn't his fault.

I think dirtybenny's example of the homing beacon plastic bag in TB must be the winner though!

Actually that scene is just the opposite, as dropping Blofeld down that chimney is an example of placing trash in it's proper receptacle!

Since we've been allowing discarded weapons as litter, Octopussy is quite a littery movie as well it seems. We might count the giant ninja starry sort of weapon that Bond throws carelessly away from the Tuk Tuk as litter although it does become a rather nice exterior decoration for someone's door, so maybe not.

One could spend some time pondering the question of whether all the bank notes Bond scatters on the ground, also from the Tuk Tuk, constitute litter. If they'd been the UK's new plastic notes then they certainly wouldn't biodegrade, but the Rupees probably would, except for the fact it's highly doubtful any would have gone without being picked up by some local opportunist.

This wasn't done by Bond but there's another example of high value littering* when the fake Romanov Star is not only deliberately thrown on the ground but also ground into little bits by General Gogol's foot!

I can't easily think of any other good examples of Bond's allies or villains littering. Can you?

*I've called it "high value" but it was obviously identified as a fake. In a way it was valuable to Kamal Khan. At another point in the movie a real Faberge egg gets smashed. I didn't count that as litter as we don't see the bits being discarded from the work bench.
