History Characters / DrNo

* AdaptationalNiceGuy: He ''far'' less sadistic and more [[AffablyEvil charming]], than his novel counterpart.

* WickedCultured: Many, ''many'' James Bond villains have taste and class, but Dr. No spent one million dollars on an underground fish tank, and Bond is amazed to see Creator/FranchisoDeGoya's ''Art/PortraitOfTheDukeOfWellington'' (see it [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portrait_of_the_Duke_of_Wellington_%28Goya%29 here]]).[[note]]This was an HistoricalInJoke referencing that the painting had been stolen from the National Gallery in London just before filming began. Production designer Ken Adam contacted the National Gallery in London to obtain a slide of the picture, painting a copy over the course of a weekend prior to filming.[[/note]] He's no slouch either in the book, with a vast knowledge of philosophy and stamp collecting.

* {{Mooks}}: He is the first henchman that Bond encounters in the entire film franchise. Bond gets the jump on him first, but Jones tricks Bond into giving him his cyanide-filled cigarette, which he promptly bites down on, saying, "To hell with you" as his last words.

* HoneyTrap: When the above [[BadLiar bad lies]] fail she resorts to this, with... ''better'' results. For a while, at least.

* ElaborateUndergroundBase: He has an elaborate nuclear facility but it's not clear that it was underground. Although fairly likely, given that it explicitly is in the book and in the film they dine in a glass-windowed room below the waterline and thus presumably underground as well.

!!! '''Played by:''' Creator/UrsulaAndress, Nikki Van der Zyl (voice), Diana Coupland (singing voice)

* ArtificialLimbs: Having lost his real hands to radiation damage, he's replaced them with metal prosthetics, which are very strong, but lack dexterity. [[spoiler: Their lack of grip costs him his life.]]

* DoesNotLikeShoes: She spends most of the film without shoes.

* ButNotTooBlack: In the book, Fleming takes great pains to point out that you can tell he has at least one white ancestor. This isn't mentioned in the movie.

* TheLoad: Oddly enough, she isn't widely hated among fans, partly because she was the first main Bond Girl, but she really is the single most superfluous Bond girl in the entire film series—yet is consistently ranked as the best, a position clearly earned solely because she's the first and still very attractive. The film makers were usually pretty good in making the Bond girls in the series of at least some nominal importance to the plot of each film (even if, in the case of [[Film/TheManWithTheGoldenGun Mary Goodnight]], their only importance is as TheMillstone), but Honey is of no importance whatsoever. She shows up late in the film, tags along, and does nothing of any consequence. The film takes the time to give her the same backstory from the novel (Dr. No killed her father, she received all her education by reading the whole encyclopedia, she murdered her rapist, etc.) but again, none of that has any impact on the rest of the film. She exists solely to be the DistressedDamsel (and even that comes across as an afterthought) and for {{Fanservice}}. The latter, Creator/UrsulaAndress does very, very well, which is the third reason she isn't widely hated.

* BareYourMidriff: From her introduction until being brough to Dr. No's lair, she's in a bikini.

* WickedCultured: Many, ''many'' James Bond villains have taste and class, but Dr. No spent one million dollars on an underground fish tank, and Bond is amazed to see Goya's ''[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portrait_of_the_Duke_of_Wellington_%28Goya%29 Portrait of the Duke of Wellington]]''.[[note]]This was an HistoricalInJoke referencing that the painting had been stolen from the National Gallery in London just before filming began. Production designer Ken Adam contacted the National Gallery in London to obtain a slide of the picture, painting a copy over the course of a weekend prior to filming.[[/note]] He's no slouch either in the book, with a vast knowledge of philosophy and stamp collecting.

!!! '''Played by:''' Reggie Carter

* NotMyDriver: Bond gets suspicious of Jones pretty quickly actually, calls the British governor of Jamaica and finds out nobody has been sent to pick him up at the airport.

* BetterToDieThanBeKilled: Once discovered by Bond, he commits suicide by a CyanidePill cigarette rather face interrogation.

* AdaptationalModesty: As generations of short-changed fans have pointed out, in the novel, she's wearing a diving mask and her knife belt when she emerges from the ocean. In the film, she wore a white bikini that has become associated with her character and the idea of the Bond girl as a symbol of glamuor, sophistication, sex appeal, and danger.

* FriendToAllLivingThings: She expressed great value for life, animals, and humans.

* HeKnowsTooMuch: He and his secretary are killed by the Three Blind Mice due to the informations they gathered about Dr. No's activities on the isle of Crab Key.
