A look at all of James Bond's kills (up until SPECTRE). Though, honestly, there are plenty of cases where the actual kill status is not confirmed (bang-drop is not necessarily a kill, for example) or the numbers involved (e.g., on a space capsule swallowing space capsule) are not clear, or the actual culpability of 007 is not clearly established.
Still, it's an interesting survey of how killing(ish) has been handled across the multiple decades of the Bond franchise, both in body counts (some movies have shockingly few from the hands of the man with the License to Kill) and in style (brutal, efficient, showy, improbable).
At the very end there's a breakdown by cause of death, to a total count (with the caveats above) of 362.

Ok. Now I want to watch them all again.
A few thoughts:
Moore had the highest kill count because he was Bond for so long. The kill counts per movie seem to be higher for Dalton and Brosnan. (I was surprised that he killed only one person in The Man with the Golden Gun; I had never realized that before.)
The "killer puns" didn't really seem to work for anybody but Connery.
The Moonraker clips reminded me that it was quite a good movie – when it took itself seriously.
Their favorite kill was Zorin? Bleagh. I don't think I have a favorite, but if I did, it wouldn't be "falling from a blimp." Maybe elecrocuting Oddjob.
+Scott Randel I think Zorin was a favourite kill because of Walken's perfect "psycho" reaction to his impending death – he laughs.
I think the one where he catches a bullet using the woman he's dancing with more closely resembles the Bond of the books. A misogynistic psychopath himself with not a moment's hesitation to kill someone innocent to save himself.
Locque's death in For Your Eyes Only was pretty good too – because Locque was such a bastard.
