** Krosteen goes out of his way for his plan to involve embarrasing James Bond (in that he plans for James and Tatiana to be murdered and then make it look like they killed each other in a crime of passion). His actor, Creator/VladekSheybal, would later have a featured role on the infamous James Bond spoof ''Film/CasinoRoyale1967'', whose generally-negative critical reception is considered to have been an embarrassment for the James Bond franchise (even though it wasn't made by Eon Productions).



* LoveToHate: [[PsychoLesbian Rosa Klebb]] is exceedingly cruel and off-putting, and is therefore generally considered a very good villainess.

** On that note, the representation of the {{UsefulNotes/Romani}} is... very dated. The use of the common slur term for the people rather than the more appropriate Roma, the representation of them as simultaneously filthy and backwards and the women as sexual objects of desire ([[BigLippedAlligatorMoment not to mention the weird-as-hell catfight to the death]]) definitely shows how attitudes towards the Romani have changed in the last 60 years.

** [[TheDragon Donald "Red" Grant]] is a brutal PsychoForHire, but is so effectively chilling and memorable that he became the archetype for the "hulking blonde henchman" in Bond films.

Stockholm Syndrome is a disambiguation


* DesignatedHero: Kerim is intended to be a [[LovableRogue lovable]], [[LargeHam larger-than-life]] UnscrupulousHero, but it's hard to see him as anything other than a villain due to his backstory, in which he describes how as a drunken teenager he won a woman in a bet and when she refused to go with him, he beat her unconscious, stripped her naked, chained her up, fed her on table scraps and [[StockholmSyndrome raped her until her mind broke and she said she liked it]]. [[NotIfTheyEnjoyedItRationalization But BECAUSE she said she liked it, Kerim himself, Bond, and the narrator all treat it as okay]]. The only reason he isn't the most loathsome person in the book is that TheHeavy is a serial killer-turned-KGB legbreaker with a triple-digit bodycount to his name. None of this is present in [[Film/FromRussiaWithLove the film adaptation]], whose version of Kerim ''is'' genuinely lovable and is one of the most popular one-film characters.

** Red Grant is very popular as a Bond villain and [[FountainOfExpies inspired many blonde, quiet, muscular henchmen in later Bond films]], such as Hans in ''Film/YouOnlyLiveTwice'', Kriegler in ''Film/ForYourEyesOnly'', Necros in ''Film/TheLivingDaylights'', and Stamper in ''Film/TomorrowNeverDies''. This also was why many fans initially reacted negatively to Creator/DanielCraig's casting as Bond in ''Film/{{Casino Royale|2006}}'', as he looked more like Grant and his expies than Bond himself (though that died down when they saw that HeReallyCanAct).
