3	[[caption-width-right:350:Blofeld accounted for everything except for those ''[[GratuitousNinja damn ninjas]]''!]]
4	* It has '''[[GratuitousNinja ninjas]]. led by Film/JamesBond. Attacking a giant VolcanoLair to save the freaking world.''' If that's not awesome, what is?
5	* Speaking of that Volcano Lair... It's probably Creator/KenAdam's greatest achievement, at least in TheSixties (the sets of ''Film/TheSpyWhoLovedMe'' were the only ones to rival that later on). It cost more than $1 million dollars (more than ''the whole of '' ''Film/DrNo'' cost, in fact), was 45m tall and had both an operational monorail and a working helipad, and the ability to raise and lower the ''Bird One'' model to simulate the rocket launch.
6	* Bond takes on [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-c7hzHwETyk twenty times his number of thugs]]. Would've been better if he had ''won'', though...
7	** There was one ninja who successfully kept a whole bunch of mooks at bay with a sword.
8	* Tanaka gets one by proxy, for calling in the [[GunshipRescue helicopter]] to take out the carful of {{Mooks}} chasing Bond. Electromagnets are involved. That is all.
9	* [[CoolPlane Little Nellie]]. I'd do just about anything to have one of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gJdi-rNcEVc those.]]
10	* The movie's best known moment isn't any of its elaborate action scenes, but simply the reveal of Blofeld's face, which had been teased in two previous films.
11	* Off-screen: Cameraman Johnny Jordan had a harrowing accident during the Little Nellie aerial stunt filming. Jordan, hanging from a helicopter, lost his foot when another helicopter below flew too close and sliced it off. Fortunately, his pilot[[note]](A former kamikaze pilot who had helped the crew scout locations during pre-production.)[[/note]] had a safe landing. After months of recovery back in England, [[TheDeterminator Jordan went back to shooting aerial stunts just like he used to]]. In fact, he shot the aerial skiing scenes from ''Film/OnHerMajestysSecretService''.
12	* Bond fought a huge mook played by Wrestling/DwayneJohnson's grandfather.
13	* Tiger saving Bond's life by throwing a Shuriken to Blofeld's gun arm.
14	* Who wrote all this awesomeness? Creator/RoaldDahl. That's right, '''Roald. Freaking. Dahl.'''

18	* Bond finally avenging Tracy and killing Blofeld by defeating him in a sword fight and throttling him to death.
