History NightmareFuel / Thunderball

* When Bond falls in the pool with one of Largo's mooks, [[BadBoss instead of helping him]], Largo has the pool closed and releasing the sharks on them both. Bond escapes by stabbing the mook with a knife, leaving him for the sharks. That's also quite genuine fear from Sean Connery when the shark comes after him; he was extremely reluctant to get in the pool with them, and the director lied that the sharks would be safely within a glass corridor, when in fact they couldn't get enough glass and there was a hole easily big enough for them to get through.

* [[BoardToDeath In the SPECTRE]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z39yOZpcji0 meeting]], Blofeld [[HighVoltageDeath electrocutes]] [[BadBoss Number Nine in his chair]] for [[EvenEvilHasStandards embezzling from their drug-dealing operation in the United States]], [[BlofeldPloy but only after grilling his totally innocent accomplice, Number Eleven]]. [[UnusuallyUninterestingSight Largo only briefly looks up from his papers and shrugs]] at the sight of seeing one of his fellow SPECTRE boardmembers get killed, but the others can only look in sheer horror as Number Nine is [[ShockAndAwe brutally zapped]]. Presumably, Largo has been used to seeing such things, as he himself does it on a regular basis. The henchman getting zapped also sends a clear message to the rest of Blofeld's council: betray him and you face deadly consequences.

** It bears noting for emphasis, Bond is openly ''terrified'' and '''screaming''' in utter terror, no doubt from recognizing just how screwed he is. Something that ''rarely'' ever happens again throughout the rest of the film series for our normally icey composed agent...

* Then there is Palazzi's earlier murder of the real Major Derval, who finds himself face-to-face with his lookalike when he opens the door. He barely has any time to react in horror before Palazzi gases him to death.

Once he finds what he needs, Bond gets out of there ''instantly.''
