** Timothy Dalton deserves a nod in regards to that scene for not using a stunt double for when Bond is running from the explosion. In more than one interview around the time the movie came out, Dalton said he was practically running for his life.

* Bond sees a bunch of Sanchez's goons coming up to his yacht with the corpse of Bond's ally, Sharkey, one joking about having the guy hung up like a fish. Instead of a clean escape, Bond takes the time to grab a spear gun, tell the killer "Compliments of Sharkey" and nail the guy as payback. As the movie illustrates, ''never'' screw with Bond's friends.

* Bond's final battle against Sanchez, leading to [[spoiler:Bond using Felix's present - a lighter - to set a gasoline-soaked [[ManOnFire Sanchez on fire]].]] It's one of the few times - if any - that Bond kills his major villain with any satisfaction...
** YMMV on "satisfaction". It seemed like Bond was just exhausted and just wanted to ''end'' the "mission".
