Xenia Onatopp is a fictional character in the James Bond film GoldenEye, played by actress Famke Janssen.

Character bio

Onatopp, born in the Republic of Georgia when it was a part of the Soviet Union, 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 is involved in a car chase with her, meets her at a party, and then places her under surveillance.

Her main characteristic is that she apparently can receive sexual satisfaction only through killing. In a memorable scene, she lures a Canadian admiral onto her 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, becoming obviously aroused while killing him. After the killing, she steals the admiral's ID, enabling her and a male Janus operative to steal a prototype of the Eurocopter Tiger, which was scheduled for a high-profile test flight the following day.

Later, she and turncoat Russian General Arkady Ourumov use the hijacked Tiger in an attack on the Severnaya satellite control center, where they steal the controller for the GoldenEye EMP satellite weapon. During the attack, she empties a machine gun into the control room, again getting sexually aroused in the process.

She encounters Bond two more times during the film, attempting to thigh-crush him on both occasions. The first time, Bond gets away and forces her 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 rappells from a helicopter onto Bond, who is just awakening, and quickly gains the upper hand in their battle. She gets Bond into position to crush his chest; just as Bond is ready to pass out from the pressure of her thighs, he connects the rope she rappelled down to her safety harness, and then grabs a nearby submachine gun and kills the helicopter's pilot. The chopper veers away, pulling Onatopp off Bond. She is then trapped in the 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's quip to Natalya is "She always did enjoy a good squeeze."
