History Characters / DrNo

* StrawNihilist: Particularly in the book, as he thinks it's fine for him to just do anything he wants (including [[CruelAndUnusualDeath horribly torturing people to death.]] When James Bond [[YoureInsane tells him he's nuts,]] his response is essentially [[InsultBackfire "you say that like it's a bad thing."]]

* DistressedDamsel: By the movie's end. And since Bond goes by AlwaysSaveTheGirl, why would a CollapsingLair stop him?

* AdaptationalModesty: In the book, she's [[NakedFirstImpression completely naked when Bond meets her]]. This would never have met with the censor's approval in 1962, so she wears a white bikini when [[SexySurfacingShot coming out of the water]] in the film.
* AdaptationalWimp: Honey in the films isn't as competent or street-savvy as her literary counterpart, instead having to rely on Bond to save her.

* InnocentFanserviceGirl: Played with in the book. She casually mentions her ambition to work in New York as an escort girl, and is unaware that society would find this idea objectionable.
* TheLoad: For such an unforgettable and fan-loved Bond Girl, it is shocking to realize how Honey does nothing important to the plot of the movie. She seems to be there only to be saved by Bond in the third act and to have sex with him in the end. Averted in the book, where she warns Bond of incoming threats as they drive the Dragon to safety, is a skilled sailor, worked out how to sell her seashells for profit very quickly and escapes on her own without Bond's help.

* NakedFirstImpression: How Bond meets her in the book.
* RapeAsBackstory: She was raped by the man who oversaw the property where she is currently living. She retaliated by putting a venomous spider in his bed.

* DiesDifferentlyInAdaptation: In the novel, he is buried under a pile of guano. In the film, he is knocked into the boiling water of his reactor pool, and his metal hands make it impossible for him to get a grip on the wet metal of the gantry and he slides beneath the water.

** In the book, he torched an entire bird sanctuary and its staff brutally murdered ''[[KickTheDog simply]] [[DisproportionateRetribution because]]'' it was a bit too close to his base.

* NotThatKindOfDoctor: He's a scientist, not a medical doctor.

* FountainOfExpies: Because the first story adapted was the one in which he dies, later films introduce: Quarrel Jr in ''Film/LiveAndLetDie'', which was adapted out of order, and Sharkey in ''Film/LicenceToKill''. which used plot elements cut from the film adaptation of ''Live And Let Die''.

* MixedAncestry: His father was German and his mother was Chinese.

'''Dr. No:''' The Americans are fools. I offered my services; they refused. So did the East. Now they can both pay... for their mistake.\\

* CutLexLutherACheck: Bond argues he could have used his genius for good in the West. He thinks otherwise.

'''Bond:''' [[TakeOverTheWorld World domination]]. Same old dream... Our asylums are full of people who think they're Napoleon, or God.

-->World domination. The same old dream. Our asylums are full of people who think they are Napoleon. [[AGodAmI Or God.]]

* PlotTriggeringDeath: His murder kicks the plot (not to mention the series) into motion.

* RapeAsBackstory: [[TheDogBitesBack And she replied by putting a female black widow spider in the guy's bed.]]
* SameLanguageDub: Given the actress had a thick accent, she was dubbed over. It's a NonSingingVoice as well, as the composer's wife sung for her.

* AdaptationalJobChange: In the novel, he works for SMERSH. In the film, he works for SPECTRE. He has just as much disdain for the East and the West, as they both rejected his services.

* BondVillainStupidity: Mostly averted. Bond is completely in Doctor No's power for most of the movie. Still, he's the first example in the film series of "WhyDontYouJustShootHim"

* UndignifiedDeath: Shot once by Bond in the agent's own hotel room, but then he goes [[DoubleTap the extra step]] to make sure Dent gets his just desserts, leaving the dying man reeling in sharp agony from two lethal bullet wounds. He then gets left on the floor without another word to focus on Dr. No. Notably some broadcasts [[{{Bowdlerise}} cut the second shot]] because it was considered too cruel and violent for the time.

* MsFanservice: Her intro is even wearing a bikini.

* FamousLastWords: "Shut it down, you fools, it's running wild! Shut down!"

[[caption-width-right:300:''"That's it. Hundred honors and ninety below."'']]

* AssholeVictim: [[spoiler: His novel counterpart completely deserve his CruelAndUnusualDeath, due of his concentration camp-like control on base, his torturous experiments, his DeathCourse to Bond and many other crimes.]]
