Pussy Galore with a gun

Pussy Galore (played by Honor Blackman) holds a very large gun on James Bond (offscreen, played by Sean Connery) in the 1964 film Goldfinger. Pussy Galore ran a local stunt-flying team made up entirely of women pilots; she resists James Bond's charms, at least at first. (Oop! Spoiler alert!)
