• Complete Monster: Red Grant.
  • Minor villains Mozenry and Krylenko count as well. Krylenko especially, who is an agent mainly because he enjoys killing people rather than serving his country.
• Even Better Sequel: To Dr. No and might have gotten its own in Goldfinger.
• Fridge Logic: Couldn't the Gypsy Prince decide FOR HIMSELF which girl to marry?
  • No, because the other girl / family would not accept that or see it as a snub. He might not even want to marry either one of them.
• Hilarious in Hindsight: Bond saying on being issued his Q gadgets, "I shouldn't think I'll need it on this assignment."
  • Sean Connery would later go on to appear in the 1974 film adaptation of Murder on the Orient Express.
• Ho Yay / Even the Guys Want Him:
  Kerim Bey: "James, life in Istanbul will never be the same without you."
• Memetic Mutation: From Russia/China/Belgium/London/Chiddingfold/Mars/Ankh-Morpork/TV Tropes With Love.
• Narm / Mundane Made Awesome: Bond checks into his hotel room and casually walks around checking for bugs...with the entire Bond theme playing in the background the whole time. It's like the Bond canon version of Mike and the bots blurting out "BA-DA-BA-DAAAAAAAAAAA!" during the boring bits of Agent For H.A.R.M..
• Special Effect Failure: The actor playing Kerim Bey dabs his arm with a red sponge to simulate being shot during the gypsy camp fight.
