!The Book

[[folder:The Robber]]
!!The Robber
The man who runs Ouroboros Bait and Tackle, Incorporated, a shell company for Mr. Big's operations based in Florida. He is responsible for the attempted murder of Felix Leiter.
----
* ColdSniper: Nonchalantly shoots pelicans, people, and presumably everything in between with his rifle.
* TheDragon: Fits this role better than Tee Hee does in the book.
* EatenAlive: Ends up being eaten alive by a shark.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Dies after falling in the very same shark tank he attempted to kill Leiter with.
* ISurrenderSuckers: A variation. While dangling over the SharkPool he attempts to reason with Bond by claiming that Leiter's maiming was an accident caused by his own stupidity. Bond, both seeing through his lies and not at all happy someone would talk trash about his best friend, presently fighting for dear life, punts the Robber into the tank.

[[folder:Mr. Big]]
!!Buonaparte Ignace Gallia, a.k.a. Mr. Big
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mr_big_literary.png]]
Harlem crimelord working for SMERSH, who uses the superstitions of locals for his gain.
----
* AchillesHeel: It is noted that he has chronic heart problems. But it is not what does him in.
* BaldOfEvil: Bald, polished as such, "except for some grey-brown fluff above the ears."
* TheDreaded: Because of his striking appearance and use of voodoo imagery, many are convinced that he is the zombie of the voodoo god Baron Samedi, and are terrified of crossing him.
* FreudianExcuse: It goes by in half a sentence, Bond has the impression of a "ghastly misfit" who was "feared" and therefore hated, and now sees fate and the world as to take revenge on.
* KarmicDeath: He is [[spoiler:eaten by sharks and barracudas]], the same fate that he had stored for Bond and Solitaire.
* LargeAndInCharge: Six-foot-six, ''twenty stone'' (''280 pounds'') heavy.
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Bond notes that only the files on him know his real name.
* RedRightHand: His ash-grey skin.
* SignificantMonogram: When he was young, other children called him "Big Boy" or "Big" after his initials, '''B'''uonaparte '''I'''gnace '''G'''allia. The nickname became "Big Man" or "Mr. Big" as he got older, and he decided to keep it. Very befitting for the leader of a Harlem mob.
* WickedCultured: In contrast to the poorly-educated {{Jive Turkey}}s that make up his mob, he speaks perfect English and shows a keen knowledge of history and classical art.
* WorthyOpponent: Considers Bond this, and Bond - privately, at least - holds the same opinion of him.

[[caption-width-right:300:''"I know who you are, what you are, and why you've come."'']]
!!!'''Played by:''' Creator/{{Jane Seymour|Actress}}

The BigBad's FortuneTeller whose genuine ability gave him an edge in the criminal underworld.
----
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: She's the only character ''in the whole series'' to beat Bond in a game of cards, '''one of his biggest talents''', fair and square. Even the usually cool Bond freezes in shock for a second. To add insult to injury, it was a game Bond was ''teaching her how to play''.
* FortuneTeller: She has the ability to see the future by reading tarot cards.
* GirlOfTheWeek: The main Bond Girl of this film.
* HumanSacrifice: She was going to be sacrificed in a ceremony presided by Baron Samedi in the climax for [[YouHaveFailedMe having failed Kananga]]. Bond rescues her.
* MeaningfulName: "Solitaire" is a card game, referring to her use of tarot cards. It is also the French word for "solitary," referring to her ([[MaybeMagicMaybeMundane alleged]]) VirginPower.
* MsFanservice: Wears a very loose-fitting nightie in one scene, through which her body and breasts are clearly visible when she moves around.
* MysteriousBacker: It's implied she sent Bond a tarot card warning him that Rosie Carver was leading him to his death.
* SexFaceTurn: Solitaire switches sides after Bond sleeps with her, but it was clear she held at least some grudge against Kananga already. When Bond tells her that he stacked the deck of cards predicting they would become lovers, she's neither upset nor surprised.
* TarotMotifs: About par for the course for a FortuneTeller. A modern deck, often marketed as the Tarot of the Witches, was actually designed for the film.
* TokenWhite: The only white person working for Kananga.
* UnlimitedWardrobe: She never seems to wear the same outfit for more than one scene. Then again, she works for a Caribbean Prime Minister/drug lord.
* VirginPower: Her precognition is dependent upon her virginity.
* YouHaveFailedMe: She was to be executed by Kananga before Bond rescues her.

!!!'''Played by:''' Creator/LonSatton

A CIA agent from Harlem who has been working on the Mister Big case for a while.
----
* FriendOnTheForce: A colleague of Felix Leiter, he's this by extension to Bond.
* KidnappedByAnAlly: In traditional Bond fashion, he points a gun at Bond the first time they meet in a backyard alley in Harlem.
* SacrificialLion: [[spoiler:He is killed by Kananga's henchmen with the funeral procession trick in New Orleans.]]
* TokenEnemyMinority: He and Quarrel Jr. are the only black men of note to help Bond against Kananga, who besides Solitaire, has an all-African-American gang.

[[caption-width-right:210:''"My regards to Baron Samedi, man: right between the eyes!"'']]
!!!'''Played by:''' Creator/RoyStewart

A Caribbean fisherman who helps Bond. He is the son of the Cayman islander, Quarrel, who appeared in ''Film/DrNo'', and he is acquainted with Bond and Felix Leiter, just like his father was.
----
* BadassBoast: To him, the invincible, laughing Baron Samedi is no match for a simple headshot.
* DeadGuyJunior: Named after his father Quarrel, who died in ''Film/DrNo''.
* HeroOfAnotherStory: Nothing is said about how he met Bond.
* LikeFatherLikeSon: A fisherman and ally of secret agents, just like his father.
* MistakenForAnImposter: Rosie Carver grows suspicious of him to the point of pointing at him with her revolver, only for Bond to introduce him as Quarrel Jr.
* OnlyOneName: He only goes by one name, just like his father.
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: In the original book, it was Quarrel who helped Bond, since it was released before his death in ''Dr. No.'' Since the film continuity had that come first, Jr. was created to take his place.
* TokenEnemyMinority: He and Strutter are the only black men of note to help Bond against Kananga, who besides Solitaire, has an all-African-American gang.

!!!'''Played by:''' Creator/YaphetKotto [[labelnote:Other Languages]] Creator/MedHondo (European French)[[/labelnote]]

The main antagonist. A corrupt Caribbean Prime Minister who doubles as a drug lord in Harlem.
----
* AdaptationalAttractiveness: In the book he's a 6'6", twenty stone giant of a man, with an ash-grey complexion. Here he's (once he takes the mask off) the handsome Yaphet Kotto.
* AdaptationalDyeJob: He's BaldOfEvil in the novel. In the film, he has a full head of hair.
* AdaptationalJobChange: He's a SMERSH operative in the novel. In the film, he's prime minister of a fictional Caribbean island and working independently.
* AdaptationNameChange: In the book, his real name was Buonapart Ignace Gallia, and he made his pseudonym, Mr. Big, [[SignificantMonogram out of his initials]]. In the film, he's named Dr. Kananga after the real-life owner of the crocodile farm where part of the film was shot.
* BadBoss: Zigzagged; he's controlling and abusive to Solitaire, but the worst he does to Whisper is shoot the couch he's sitting on, causing it to inflate and explode. And we all know what happens when a human gets a shark gun pellet in them...
* BigBad: The main antagonist of the film.
* TheChessmaster: With Solitaire's help, he's two steps ahead of Bond throughout much of the movie.
* ComplexityAddiction: The methods by which he has interfering MI-6 agents killed are all highly elaborate, including trying to have Bond FedToTheBeast on three separate occasions. However, his methods are [[CrazyEnoughToWork so unexpected they're actually pretty successful]] at catching highly trained MI-6 agents unawares, with the obvious exception of Bond.
* CorruptPolitician: A corrupt Caribbean Prime Minister ''and'' a drug lord.
* DiabolicalMastermind: While Kananga is a departure from megalomaniac supervillains trying to TakeOverTheWorld, his EvilPlan still involves large criminal resources.
* DiesDifferentlyInAdaptation: In the novel, he survives a boat explosion only to be eaten by various sea creatures. In the film, he explodes after swallowing a compressed air bullet.
* FauxAffablyEvil: In the climax, he acts condescendingly affable after he gets the drop on Bond and Solitaire.
* FedToTheBeast: Instead of [[WhyDontYouJustShootHim just shooting Bond]], Kananga tries to feed him to a succession of hungry beasties; first snakes, then crocodiles, then finally sharks.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: [[spoiler:The compressed pellet gun was not his in the first place but he uses it for fun on the couch Whisper was sitting on and puts one of the pellets on the table, allowing Bond to take it with the magnet on his watch.]]
* JiveTurkey: Talks like this as Mr. Big.
* LargeAndInCharge: Similar to his literary counterpart, he's six-foot-four and has a heavy build.
* LatexPerfection: His mask when pretending to be Mr. Big. Also a rare case of the actor actually wearing a real-life version of the trope instead of having a second actor play the second character.
* LivingADoubleLife: It's revealed that Kananga doubles as Mr. Big, a ruthless Harlem drug lord.
* MakeItLookLikeAnAccident: His many bizarre methods of assassination and execution seem designed to create some degree of plausible deniability, as well as to sow fear among his enemies. Russia and North Korea are known to employ similar methods for the same reasons.
* MorallyAmbiguousDoctorate: He's named '''Dr.''' Kananga and is the BigBad of the film.
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: While "Mr Big" is a character from the book, the "Dr Kananga" side of him is based on notorious UsefulNotes/{{Haiti}}an dictator Francois "Papa Doc" Duvalier, both using and abusing Voodoo to maintain an iron grip on their subjects (Kananga also has Baron Samedi as an ally / underling, while Duvalier claimed to actually ''be'' Baron Samedi), both possessing doctorates, both being tyrannical rulers of Caribbean island nations etc. The Kananga name itself however comes from Ross Kananga, the real-life owner of the crocodile farm featured in the movie.
* OlderThanTheyLook: He apparently knew both Solitaire's mother and grandmother when they were virgins; assuming he's roughly the same age as the grandmother and that both women had their daughters in their twenties, Kananga would have to be at least in his mid-to-late sixties. Like many things in the film, it's [[MaybeMagicMaybeMundane deliberately left ambiguous]] whether he's just naturally young-looking or has been preserving his youth through mystical means.
* PopGoesTheHuman: [[spoiler:Dr. Kananga's demise is certainly the most ridiculously unrealistic of all Bond villains. Bond forces him to swallow a pellet of compressed air. The pellet unloads in Kananga's throat, and causes him to swell up like a balloon and rise up to the air until he explodes. [[BloodlessCarnage With no blood, bones or flesh left]].]] This leaves Bond to quip the following:
-->'''Bond''': He always did have an inflated opinion of himself.
* PresidentEvil: He's the prime minister of San Monique who moonlights as a drug kingpin.
* PsychoKnifeNut: At the end of the film he cuts a captive Bond's arm with a knife to draw blood for attracting sharks, then when Bond gets free Kananga comes at him with the knife and shows off both some elaborate knife fighting techniques as well as a gleeful joy at slicing people. Bond manages to disarm him pretty easily though.
* RaceLift: There's no indication he's half-white like his book counterpart was.
* ScaryBlackMan: Mr. Big knows how to be quite ruthless. He inspires this even as Kananga, if [[spoiler:Rosie Carver]]'s fear is anything to go by.
* SimpleYetAwesome: His plan. No complex schemes, doomsday devices or plans for world domination, just a straightforward plan to take over the drug market in the U.S. by flooding it with free product to put his competitors out of business and allow him to take over and it would've worked had Bond not interfered.
* SlasherSmile: Exhibits this when cutting a captive Bond's arm with a knife to draw blood for attracting sharks, as well as when he comes after Bond with the knife after the latter gets free. Both these scenes demonstrate that, underneath his sophisticated persona, Kananga is a vicious, sadistic psychopath.
* VillainWithGoodPublicity: He masquerades under the guise of only wanting the best for the inhabitants of San Monique.
* VillainousBreakdown: He gets a bit testy when Solitaire's powers seem to be faltering, and she shows disrespect, but largely keeps his temper in check. After a failed test with Bond's fingers at risk, he explodes in anger.
* VillainousCrush: It's implied he has one on Solitaire, as evidenced when he rants at her for sleeping with Bond; he says that she knew that ''he'' "would have given her love when the time was right." Sheesh, you really expect a girl to wait that long, Kananga?

!!Tee-Hee Johnson
[[quoteright:310:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/teehee_6558.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:310:''"Oh, the other's twice as simple. You just put your hand in his mouth... and pull his teeth out! Heh heh!"'']]
!!!'''Played by:''' Creator/JuliusHarris

Kananga's primary henchman and bodyguard, who has a mechanical pincer for a hand (he lost his arm to a crocodile in the crocodile farm he runs).
----
* AchillesHeel: He manages to get Bond on the ropes in a fair fight, but Bond gets the upper hand by cutting the artificial tendons of his mechanical arm.
* AdaptationalAttractiveness: His book counterpart is described as being quite overweight. In the film, he has a fairly normal build.
* AdaptationalBadass: In the book he's a perfectly ordinary {{mook|s}} whose only quirk is giggling while torturing people and who dies very early on. The film ups him to second-in-command, gave him a mechanical arm with a pincer so vicious that it can make Film/DrNo himself blush, and has him pull a DragonTheirFeet scene after the climax.
* AffablyEvil: He's pretty likable and talks to Bond as if he were an old friend rather than an enemy and even says it's good to see him again before their last fight.
* AnArmAndALeg: He had his arm bitten off years ago by a crocodile he claims he got careless with. He doesn't seem resentful about it though and still speaks affectionately about the crocodile in question.
* ArtificialLimbs: His dual pincer-tipped mechanical arm. The edge is apparently an AbsurdlySharpBlade and he can punch through walls and solid wood with it.
* AscendedExtra: He was a minor henchman in the novel. In the film, he's one the main henchman.
* BadassInANiceSuit: While Mr. Big's men are generally well dressed, Tee-Hee has many suits and isn't afraid of fighting in them.
* BaldOfEvil: Not a hair on his head and is a persistent [[TheDragon right-hand man]] for a nefarious drug lord.
* CoolShades: Always wears huge sunglasses outside.
* DeadpanSnarker: Natch for a guy named Tee-Hee.
* DeathByFallingOver: In the book, his neck snaps when Bond kicks him down a staircase.
* DiesDifferentlyInAdaptation: In the novel, Bond kills him by throwing him off a balcony. In the film, he throws him off a train.
* DisneyVillainDeath: In the film, Bond [[DestinationDefenestration throws him out the window]] of a speeding train.
* TheDragon: In the film, he's the second-in-command to Mr. Big.
* DragonTheirFeet: [[spoiler: He isn't present during the skirmish in Mr. Big's HQ but instead fights Bond on the train in the epilogue where he's tossed out of the window, similar to Jaws in ''Film/TheSpyWhoLovedMe''.]]
* FatBastard: In the book. Not so much in the films.
* FourEyesZeroSoul: He wears huge '70s sunglasses and is TheDragon for a drug lord.
* GigglingVillain: Well, with a name like "Tee-Hee," what did you expect?
* HiddenDepths: Proves to be very knowledgeable about crocodilians. The way Harris plays the scene, it comes off as a genuine interest rather than just villainous gloating.
* TheHyena: He tends to laugh over almost everything.
-->'''Bond:''' [[LampshadeHanging Funny how even the least of things amuses him]].
* MeaningfulName: He sure is cheerful. Think FluffyTheTerrible.
* PermaStubble: He has a five o'clock shadow, albeit it's quite hard to notice.
* PerpetualSmiler: Always a grin on his face.
* RedRightHand: His mechanical arm.
* ScaryBlackMan: You don't want him after you.
* ShoutOut: A primary villain who wears red and has a prosthetic hook to replace a hand that got eaten by a crocodile definitely brings [[Literature/PeterPan Captain Hook]] to mind.
* SinisterShades: Always wears huge sunglasses outside.

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/677_4_2530.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:350:''"Good morning Boss, it's sure going to be a beautiful day."'']]
!!!'''Played by:''' Creator/GeoffreyHolder

A tall and mysterious henchman working for Kananga. He has strange ties to the Voodoo cult on San Monique and plays the role of [[UsefulNotes/{{Voudoun}} Baron Samedi]], the Voodoo loa of cemeteries, in a show for tourists as well as during the {{Human Sacrifice}}s on San Monique. [[spoiler:The final shot of the film suggests [[RealAfterAll he was a lot more than just a tourist attraction.]]]]
----
* AffablyEvil: He's quite the treat when he's not using his talents for his boss.
* AmbiguouslyHuman: [[spoiler:In a rare case for the James Bond franchise, it's never made clear whether he's the real Loa or just a charismatic human. The ending heavily implies the former.]]
* BaldOfEvil: He has a shiny dome.
* BorrowinSamedi: He acts the part of Baron Samedi, and there is an [[MaybeMagicMaybeMundane implication]] that he may be the Baron himself.
* CanonForeigner: No such character appears in the novel, although many people in Harlem and elsewhere believe Mr. Big to be a manifestation of Samedi himself or perhaps his zombie. Mr. Big encourages this beneficial belief by keeping a Baron Samedi totem near his desk.
* TheDragon: He's this (in the supernatural department) to Kananga. But given that he's the one who leads the voodoo cult on San Monique, it's implied that Samedi works ''with'' Kananga rather than ''for'' him.
* TheDreaded: He's widely feared by the people of San Monique who believe him to be a powerful Voodoo figure which Kananga uses to keep them away from his poppy fields.
* EnigmaticMinion: And how. See MaybeMagicMaybeMundane.
* EveryoneHatesHades: If he ''is'' the real Baron Samedi, it's unclear why he's working for a criminal mastermind like Dr. Kananga; according to Vodoun myth, while Baron Samedi is the Lord of the Dead, [[DontFearTheReaper he's actually a benevolent and easygoing spirit]].
* EvilIsBigger: Stands out a very imposing 6'6, towering over Bond and even having a couple of inches on Kananga.
* EvilIsHammy: Easily one of the most theatrical Bond villains ever.
* EvilLaugh: Geoffrey Holder's trademark laugh. A particularly strange and memorable one. [[spoiler:He even ends the film with it.]]
* EvilSorcerer: If he's not just a very good performer, then he's the only Bond villain in the film series to have magic powers.
* EvilSoundsDeep: Geoffrey Holder's trademark voice. His one line in the movie makes it really clear.
* GreaterScopeVillain: [[spoiler:If we are led to believe that he was the real, genuine Baron Samedi, then it can be inferred that he was either merely pretending to be a minion of Kananga, or was never really a minion at all.]]
* TheHyena: He goes into battle whooping with laughter.
* {{Immortality}}: Maybe, maybe not. There's a reason he is called "the man who cannot die," after all...
* KarmaHoudini: Bond beats him up and throws him into a coffin filled with poisonous snakes, seemingly killing him. [[spoiler:He appears on the engine of Bond's train, alive and well, laughing and tipping his hat before the end credits roll.]]
* LargeHam: Geoffrey Holder is quite enjoying himself.
* MagicalFlutist: He plays a sinister melody when Bond and Solitaire meet him during their exploration of San Monique (without his Baron Samedi attire). The flute conceals a microphone.
* MaybeMagicMaybeMundane: Is he the real thing, or just a really good performer? To date he's the ''only'' villain in the entire franchise whose nature is cast into doubt by the narrative in this way.
* PaperTiger: Bond dispatches him with ease. [[spoiler:For a certain value of "dispatch."]]
* PerpetualSmiler: He's always smiling. That being said, given that he's almost always disguised as (or maybe he straight up ''is'') a Voodoo loa, it comes off as really terrifying.
* ScaryBlackMan: It's safe to say that the previous entries cement him as this.
* SignatureHeadgear: Top hats. And the one he wears when he enters in Kananga's hideout under the ''Fillet of Soul'' restaurant.
* SlasherSmile: He almost always has a big grin on his face and it's quite unnerving.
* SkullForAHead: His face painting when he confronts Bond in the climax.
* WalkingShirtlessScene: He spends most of his screentime in a loincloth and with NoShirtLongJacket.
* WhamShot: [[spoiler:The final scene where he is alive, well, and laughing at the front of a speeding train implies that he really ''was'' the ''actual'' Baron Samedi all along.]]

A CIA agent who secretly works for Kananga.
----
* BadLiar: Bond tells Rose to lead him to wear Baines was killed, but it's in a different place from where she first said he died. This confirms Bond's suspicions.
* CrazyPrepared: Is wise enough to at least have a gun handy when trying to dispose of Bond, or when she suspects something's afoot with Quarrel.
* DoubleAgent: She's a CIA agent that secretly works for Kananga.
* {{Expy}}: For ''Film/{{Coffy}}'', or almost any woman in a {{Blaxploitation}} movie.
* TheLoad: She's a rookie agent who's useless to Bond's investigation; however much of this is likely ObfuscatingStupidity.
* MsFanservice: She has a WalkingSwimsuitScene on Quarrel Jr.'s boat and ''very'' short white dress [[VaporWear with nothing underneath]] while on the island.

* TheDragon: Runs Kananga's drug facility on San Monique.
* FatBastard: A quite portly mook.
* MeaningfulName: Cannot speak any louder than his name suggests. In the novel, this is because he lost all of one lung and part of the other to tuberculosis when he was young.
* OnlyKnownByHisNickname: He's only called Whisper for the whole film.
* RoomDisservice: Poses as a room service waiter to distract Bond while the snake is set up in position.
