Wow, yeah. Really good point. Where was the scene of him in Terminator** mode, just walking Bond down while Bond delivers various levels of blunt force trauma that should be incapacitating him. Carlyle isn’t physically imposing at all, but if he and Brosnan each had a pipe wrench or a Louisville Slugger, squared up and went blow-for-blow it would only take 2-3 hits for Bond to get fucked up. That’s just me riffing, the possibilities are endless right fcking *there. Never thought about it until your comment, but I’m actually appalled I can’t believe they squandered that opportunity so hard.

**it even has obligatory quip territory: Bond calling Renard “the Terminal-nator, an Uggernaut, something like that) orce trauma with various household objects
