When Moneypenny shot Bond at the start she had time to still shoot the bad guy as well but didn't.
In fairness, she was probably in shock and panic and thinking "what have I done??", and not yet an experienced enough field operative to take that shot and *then* think about Bond. Clockwork Cupcake said:
Skyfall (aka "Bond and M do 'Home Alone'") really irritates me. At one level it is the most stupid Bond film as Bond literally takes M away from all her security and backup in the name of protecting her and then fails to protect her.
Agreed. Hello very old Albert Finney who I haven't seen in years, in your exposed cottage, I've brought loads of armed blokes. Let's fight them off. That and the remarkably timed tube train falling through the just created hole - garbage. The film gets worse the longer it goes on.

To henchman re. Bond: 'See that some harm comes to him'.
Although we also have the most toe-curlingly sexist line ever when Bond first meets Dr. Goodhead* (fnarr) and Roger Moore creaks up an eyebrow and incredulously remarks "A woman!"
I mean even back then it was cringeworthy. But I like to believe it was done deliberately and ironically.

Email the scriptwriters & ask for their thoughts . . . His parents, Andrew Bond and Monique Delacroix, were killed in a climbing accident in the French Alps, leaving him an orphan at age 11. He then went to live with an aunt in Pett Bottom near Canterbury in Kent.

He really is a brilliant Bond Villain with some great lines.

It is an atrocious film, by far the worst of all the Bond franchise IMO and yet so many people seem to really like it.
Mind you, Octopussy is f

Does anybody on here who has flown a space shuttle know if you do it via a joystick ?
No, as it’s the late 70’s, they used the keyboard. So it’s z x for left and right and l m for up and down. Probably space bar for shoot. Edited by Steve vRS on Monday 3rd May 20:24
