* [[TheDragon Necros]], full stop. [[ParanoiaFuel He can perfectly imitate people's voices (including accents, uncannily)]] and effortlessly snatches his target from a heavily guarded security compound. His execution methods are also quite brutal too. Being strangled, or being crushed/slashed to ribbons by a booby-trapped sliding glass door, with poor Saunders on the receiving end.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wlZyeel-n9w Bond interrogating Pushkin]]. Creator/JohnRhysDavies did a great job in portraying the dread Pushkin had to feel, knowing that one wrong word to Bond will be his last.

** The look of ''[[DeathGlare pure rage]]'' on Bond's face as he pops the "Smiert Spionam" balloon that Necros left as a calling card near Saunders' body. Just from that one moment, you know that Necros isn't making it out of the movie alive.
