** Perhaps the worst part is the very end when we hear Bond quietly sobbing right before the credits roll.
** Even [[ItWasHisSled knowing it's going to happen]] doesn't lessen the impact when it does. Every time the two share a nice or awesome moment, you perk up... and then realise that the film can't change itself on subsequent viewings and she's still going to die at the end of the film. Seeing James Bond, the secret agent and Royal Navy officer who will never give up, go into flat out denial about her death... '''that''' really hits you. No other Bond movie has that kind of expression, so it's surprising.

** In the revised 5.1 sound mix, you can hear exactly which bullet killed her, as it can be heard piercing the windscreen. This little detail makes the scene even worse, as it was the penultimate shot. She was so close to surviving the attack.

* While the building was being used to bring about the end of all life on earth and the raid on it [[StormingTheCastle is awesome]], it really says a lot about the natural beauty of Piz Gloria and the design of the building that it ''still'' feels like a shame when it gets blown up at the end.



* The last few shots of Switzerland can be this, if the viewer is fond of the country. The last panning shot of the [[SceneryPorn iconic mountain range, chalets and the village in the distance]] combined with the more upbeat version of We Have All The Time In The World is rather bittersweet, since this is the last appearance of this particular area of Switzerland in popular media for a very long time, and it feels like preparing to return home from a beloved holiday destination.

* Somehow, Bond's wedding manages to be this regarding Miss Moneypenny and Q. Moneypenny ''crying'' at Bond's wedding is one of the saddest things of all time, and it follows the ''only'' time that Q calls Bond by his name instead of the usual "007" ever in the series.

* "We Have All The Time in The World" was reportedly Satchmo's last recording. He died in 1971.[[note]] The reports were inaccurate. He recorded it in 1969, and went on to record three albums and make numerous TV appearances between then and his death.[[/note]]
