* InNameOnly: The movie has extremely little in common with the novel by Ian Fleming, as the producers considered the novel (which was about Bond taking a contract on Blofeld and shutting down his garden full of ways for visitors to commit suicide, in exchange for the take from one of Tanaka's intelligence sources) completely unfilmable. The producers allowed Creator/RoaldDahl (who hated the book, considering it more of a travelogue than a novel) to create a new plot, given he [[StrictlyFormula followed the formula]] by not derailing Bond's character and having him romance three women, so the writer added a space program story similar to ''Film/DrNo''. 50 years later, elements of the You Only Live Twice novel would be incorporated into the plot of ''Film/No Time To Die''.

* MegaMawManeuver: [[BigBad Blofeld]] has a rocket with a nose cone that splits open, which he uses in {{False Flag Operation}}s to capture US and Soviet space capsules to start WorldWarIII between them for [[NebulousEvilOrganization SPECTRE]]'s own [[WarForFunAndProfitprofit]].

* AssholeVictim: Helga Brandt. Trying to make an excuse for failing to kill Bond is the worst thing any henchman can do in front of Blofeld, so it's unlikely anyone will feel sad for her when she's plunged into the piranha pool.
* AwesomenessByAnalysis: A villainess one for Blofeld. Despite having no reason to think his base has been infiltrated or compromised, he alone notices the tiny mistake Bond makes putting his air conditioner inside the capsule before getting in; correctly identifying Bond as an imposter.

** Note that sending out their four attack helicopters to try and shoot down Bond was a pretty huge one. The whole point of the secret volcano base is that it is ''covert'' and hidden. Bond had made his sweep and found nothing and was about to head home ... when they tried to jump him. Which [[NiceJobFixingItVillain only confirmed that the base HAD to be somewhere here]], leading to the Ninjas moving onto the island for the assault.

Corrected English mistake.


* TelevisionGeography: As Helga flies Bond, we see the ground in the background is typical English farming countryside not Japanese.

* SkyHeist: In the scene that is the TropeCodifier (and inspiration for many other examples) Bond and Aki are being pursued by a carload of gun wielding thugs. Aki calls Tiger Tanaka for help. Straight after the call for help a large helicopter hovers over the gunmen's car and picked it up with a very large electromagnet, lifts the car into the sky and dumps it into the waters of Tokyo bay.
