* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: Out of the Taunt twins, Hedy Taunt is the serious and responsible one, and Heidi Taunt is the bubbly and foolish one.
* GloryHound: Already a famous figure, Espada still wants to be remembered in history books by orchestrating the Gibraltar takeover.

When he asks the establishment's owner about it, he learns that it's not part of their stock fortunes.

* MythologyGag: Bill Tanner tells M that while FBI was unable to stick any charges on the doctor who performed the plastic surgery on Peredur Glyn, they "[[Literature/OctopussyAndTheLivingDaylights managed to scare the living daylights out of him]]".
* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: Espada, whose name is Spanish for "sword".
* NotRightInTheBed: [[spoiler:Margareta Piel is able to see through the ruse of Bond replacing Glyn through the sex they had in the night before]].
* SexSlave: Espada has girls brought to his place from poverty stricken areas, and they are trained to become high-class call girls. Those who are deemed failures are killed and tossed in the sea.
* SlashedThroat: Piel puts on a show for Roberto Rojo by undressing and when he least expects it, slashes his throat open.
* SlaughterhouseFight: As Bond fights his mirror image in the bull ring, Heidi Taunt deals with the remaining mooks in a gunfight in a slaughterhouse next to it.
* TwinSwitch: The Taunt twins share the identity of the CIA agent Hillary Taunt, going out one at the time to keep their status as twins a secret.
* TwinThreesomeFantasy: The novel ends with bedridden Bond being greeted by the Taunt twins, who are suggestively talking about "sharing" him.
