* The underwater fight. Many frogmen of both sides are killed either by having their breathing equipment destroyed, causing them to drown, or by being shot with harpoons and left writhe in pain as they die.

* Infuriated that a hostage they took in [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil was raped by one of his henchmen,]] Blofeld has the deviant mook electrocuted in his chair during the SPECTRE board meeting. Since SPECTRE had promised to return the rape victim "unharmed," Blofeld returns a portion of the ransom money to her family as compensation for the errant henchman's devious behavior, and stated to his other henchmen that while they may be criminals, [[EvenEvilHasStandards they still have to hold to a higher standard of conduct]]. This shows that despite being the ruthless madman that he is, even Blofeld has moral boundaries he would not want to sink towards.

Added DiffLines:

* Hell, the fact that the entire plot revolves around an EmptyQuiver (read: stolen nuke) scenario. If reality is truly FreakierThanFiction, then the world probably would sleep a lot easier not knowing of the existence of an nuclear weapon theft.

* [[BoardToDeath In the SPECTRE]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z39yOZpcji0 meeting]], Blofeld [[HighVoltageDeath electrocutes]] [[BadBoss Number Nine in his chair]] for [[EvenEvilHasStandards embezzling from their drug-dealing operation in the United States]], [[BlofeldPloy but only after grilling his totally innocent accomplice, Number Eleven]]. [[UnusuallyUninterestingSight Largo only briefly looks up from his papers and shrugs]] at the sight of seeing one of his fellow SPECTRE boardmembers get killed, but the others can only look in sheer horror as Number Nine is [[ShockAndAwe brutally zapped]]. Presumably, Largo has been used to seeing such things, as [[BadBoss he himself does it on a regular basis]]. The henchman getting zapped also [[MakeAnExampleOfThem sends a clear message]] to the rest of Blofeld's counci: betray him and you face deadly consequences.
