Honey Ryder
Was there even a point behind this character?
Or did the writers go, "dude, we're in the last third of the movie and still don't have a Bond girl for him to bang. We to insert one right now"?
She's one of the main characters from the book.
shareYeah, but hardly anybody reads those. So for most people, she just comes out of nowhere because the filmmakers realised they needed a Bond girl.
shareNo the filmmakers put her in the film because she is in the book.
shareI understand that but in narrative terms, it makes it sound like she just came out of no where to fulfil the Bond girl quota.
shareThe Bond girl quota wasn't a thing when they made Dr.No.
shareI know but it just feels she just came outta nowhere in the last third because they needed a woman in the film.
shareShe didn't come out of nowhere, she was in the book.
shareThe film follows the plot of the book fairly closely, honey appears at the same stage in the film as she does in the book. Why does this trouble you so much? Her appearance rising from the sea like Venus is one of the most striking entrances ever made by a Bond girl.
shareI know, Honey Ryder is without a doubt the most iconic Bond Girl, just because of her entrance. The white bikini itself has become iconic.

Well, I'm not certain what exactly you're asking, but the best I can provide is
She was orphaned and looked after by a kind old Jamaican woman, who taught her how to read, write, cook, about animals like spiders, etc...
She began collecting shells and selling them for money, but when a white man she knew (I can't remember specifically who) tried to have his way with her, she resisted, and he broke her nose, and it's implied he raped her too while she was unconscious.
As a result, in the book, they explain she has a hideously broken twisted nose, and that she was on Crab Key to collect shells, swimming in the nude. When Bond sees her, she covers her lower-half and her face to hide her broken nose.
So that's her story and why she's on the island, that's also what she was carrying in a bag when we first see her, it's sea-shells she collected.
Your trolling attempt wouldn't look so pathetic if it wasn't for the fact you used the term 'bond girl' four times when clearly there would be no such thing for the first movie in a franchise.
