In Robert Rodriguez’s unique blend of vampire horror and road movie, Salma Hayek delivers a captivating performance as the enigmatic snake dancer Satanico Pandemonium. Her seductive routine in a red bikini to Tito & Tarantula’s “After Dark” remains one of the most unforgettable moments in film history.

Hayek exudes an almost supernatural sensuality in this role. Director Quentin Tarantino (who plays the ruthless criminal Richard Gecko) perhaps gets the ultimate fan-service moment in film history – the notorious foot fetishist not only gets to worship Hayek’s feet, but even lick them. A scene that is both disturbing and erotic.

Even though the homage to Ursula Andress’ legendary appearance in “Dr. No” is unmistakable, Halle Berry makes this moment entirely her own. She brings modern strength and depth to the role, proving that a Bond girl can be both sensual and substantial. A contemporary reinterpretation that became instantly iconic itself.
