She receives a backhand in return, [[ATapOnTheHead immediately knocking her unconscious]] meaning she is unable to help Bond anyway.

* ArtisticLicenceBiology: During the torture scenes, the descriptions of what drilling into specific parts of the brain will do are suspect at best. Higher brain functions like facial recognition are spread out over an area, so whether damaging such a tiny area would give the described result is already questionable. Furthermore, even the general area of the brain is all wrong. In the film this is said to be the result when the drill goes into something at the base of the neck. That area in the human brain controls basic functions like motor functions and autonomous muscles. Facial recognition has been mapped around the temple, which was ironically the ''previous'' location the drill went. Of course, all that talk might just have been to heighten the victim's horror, as the film itself seems to lampshade this as Bond has no problem recognizing people after his torture. However, this also brings the question of Bond somehow not being incapacitated by the procedure itself. Most people wouldn't be able to function for a while after having something drilled into their head, much less go into action.

When Bond is fleeing [[Creator/DaveBautista Mr. Hinx]], the roads are justifiably empty because it's nighttime. After a bit, Bond finds himself stuck on a narrow 1-lane road behind a slow driver, nearly allowing Mr. Hinx to catch up.

* DarkerAndEdgier: Spectre to Quantum. Depending on the interpretation (the film supports both), it's either the warped version of Quantum or its bosses. Either way, Quantum was into PragmaticVillainy, manipulating leaders and natural resources to secure profit and influence for its network. Spectre is explicitly involved with [[UpToEleven bombing cities, human trafficking and other more overt methods]]. Profit's still in mind, but in a messier, darker way.
