History Characters / LicenceToKill

* AlliterativeName: '''L'''upe '''L'''amora.

* MsFanservice: Through the film there's a lot of shots focused on her [[LegFocus thighs]], helped by the fact that she has a thigh holster for her gun. She also strips down to a one-piece bathing suit as she and Bond load Sanchez's money on to the ''Wavekrest'' to frame Krest (and Bond [[DistractedByTheSexy even stops briefly to enjoy the view]]), and it doesn't take much of a close look to see that Pam [[VaporWear isn't wearing anything under the dress she has on]] during the climax.

* EvilSoundsDeep: He's a vicious drug lord with Robert Davi's smooth voice.

* AllforNothing: With him and Loti dead, Bond was able to kill Sanchez and destroy Sanchez's cartel and his operation.

* AllforNothing: With Kwang and Loti dead, Bond was able to kill Sanchez and destroy Sanchez's cartel and his operation.

The most powerful and ruthless drug lord in Latin America, having been wanted by the DEA for years. He is captured in the beginning of the movie, only to escape shortly afterwards and wreak havoc on Felix Leiter's life, which throws James Bond on a vendetta against him.

* IGaveMyWord: He keeps his honour with ensuring Killifer gets paid, although Krest would prefer to have Killifer killed.
* IOwnThisTown: In his discussions with Kwang, Bond and Lopez, Sanchez effectively states that he is the true ruler of Isthmus.

* ManOfWealthAndTaste: Not really for the "taste" part, if the kitsch style of his [[BigFancyHouse villa]] is any indication. Franz has very much the taste of a thug off the streets even with his immense wealth.
* ManOnFire: [[spoiler:Bond uses the gift cigarette lighter at the end of the climax to ignite Sanchez's gasoline soaked clothes and turn him into a Roman Candle.]]

* OlderHeroVsYoungerVillain: Him vs. Bond and Leiter. Creator/TimothyDalton was 45 when he starred in the movie, David Hedison was 62 and Robert Davi was 36.

* PreMortemOneLiner: When Truman-Lodge bemoans that the crashed truck is an $80 million write-off, Sanchez says, "Then I guess it's time to start cutting overhead," before [[spoiler:blasting Truman-Lodge with a Micro-Uzi]].
* PresidentForLife: Sanchez is the real ruler of the BananaRepublic that is Isthmus. He even has a meeting with "el Presidenté", where he informs the man that he is "replaceable".

* TermsOfEndangerment: Does this right after finding his missing millions of dollars stashed in Krest's decompression chamber, when Krest claims that it isn't his money. "That's right, ''amigo''. It is '''''mine!'''''" What follows is [[spoiler: one of the most [[ExplosiveDecompression gruesome]] and [[YourHeadAsplode disturbing]] death scenes in the whole series]].

* AintTooProudToBeg: [[spoiler: Bond pulls him into the cocaine grinder where the blades shred him to pieces, as Dario screams in pure agony and screams for Sanchez to come for him, but it didn't happened. He falls in the grinder and dies.]]

* TheDragon: He's Sanchez's right-hand man. His friends Perez and Braun seem to hold a similar level of authority as him, with him just slightly above them in the organization's hierarchy. Although in the tie-in novel, Perez is the senior member of the trio and Dario is on the same level of Braun in the cartel hierarchy.

* FatalFlaw: His sadism. He could've left Bond to die and escaped but he couldn't resist the urge to personally push him in and watch it happen. [[spoiler:Bond uses the chance to pull him in instead.]]

* GenreRefugee: In another life, he could have been a member of [[Theatre/WestSideStory the Sharks]].

* HoistByHisOwnPetard: [[spoiler:He stays behind to force Bond into the cocaine grinder. Bond ends up pulling him in instead.]]
* KarmicDeath: [[spoiler:He tries to have Bond shredded in the cocaine grinder but falls in himself thanks to Pam's intervention. He quite deserved it after what he did to the Leiters.]]

* LudicrousGibs: [[spoiler:He's killed by being fed, feet first, into a cocaine grinder which shreds him to pieces. It's every bit as horrifying as it sounds.]]

* OnlyOneName: Only called "Dario" through the film.

* SpannerInTheWorks: His sudden return to Sanchez at the worst possible moment ends up royally screwing Bond over, since he's the only one of Sanchez's crew who knows who Bond really is and is able to expose him as TheMole.

* UndyingLoyalty: To Sanchez. He stays behind in Sanchez's drug refining facility, even through it's exploding, to finish off Bond, [[spoiler:and that's where he dies, but through a cocaine shredder rather than flames, which was reserved for his boss.]]

* AssholeVictim: While he was a JerkassHasAPoint in regards to Bond's recklessness, his unforgivingness and the [[AmbiguousSituation possibility of having Bond executed via lethal injection by the British arresting officer Fallon if the syringe wasn't a sedative]] ensures that he wouldn't be missed.

* AssholeVictim: Sure Bond's recklessness interferes with their mission to stop Sanchez, but her unforgivingness and the [[AmbiguousSituation possibility of having Bond executed via lethal injection by British arresting officer Fallon if the syringe wasn't a sedative]] ensures that she wouldn't be missed.

* DisneyVillainDeath: Along with Perez, goes flying off a cliff in a [[ManOnFire flaming truck]].

* AssholeVictim: [[spoiler:Even though he died a horrific death, Krest is hardly what you call a sympathetic villain. He is shown to be rather incompetent in his job and is a repulsive pervert towards Lupe, which gives Sanchez a pretty justifiable reason to question his loyalty]].

* DarkIsEvil: Always dressed in dark clothes.

* MsFanservice: She's introduced wearing [[ModestyBedsheet only a bedsheet]]. Also, her scenes aboard the ''Wavekrest'' have her only in a red robe (although it becomes FanDisservice when the scars from her whipping are shown), and her red dress at the casino had some considerable cleavage.

* SpicyLatina: Averted. She's the first Latina Bond girl but is noticeably withdrawn, no doubt a result of Sanchez's abuse.

* SympatheticAdulterer: Given who Sanchez is, can you honestly blame Lupe for cheating on him?

%%* DiesWideOpen: When Bond finds her.

* TheMole: She and Kwang had been working for years to bring down Sanchez, and were one step closer to accomplishing this before Bond came in to the picture.

* EvenEvilHasStandards: As with Kilifer, he's clearly nauseated watching Leiter being fed to the shark.

* SpicyLatina: Averted. She's the first Latina Bond girl but is noticeably more withdrawn, no doubt a result of Sanchez's abuse.

* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Her unfaithfulness to Sanchez sets off a chain reaction where he unwisely attracts the attention of not just the DEA, but of James Bond himself, which ultimately spells doom for him and his criminal empire. This is lampshaded by Krest when he's drunkenly chiding her aboard the ''Wavekrest'' over the fact that he had to waste resources of his own to get Sanchez out of custody.

* TheAggressiveDrugDealer: Sanchez is a perfect example of [[TheEighties his time]], a Pablo Escobar copycat who [[EvilPlan has decided]] to become more aggressive in his trafficking to the United States - as in "to the DEA: you will allow my shipments to get through [[TerroristsWithoutACause or I will kill as many people as it takes for you to get the point]]".

* PsychoKnifeNut: A creepy, sadistic rapist. His WeaponOfChoice, pulled out in [[https://image.ibb.co/jGbtc7/darioattack.png a distinctive]] fashion [[https://image.ibb.co/g6Fmx7/badboydario11.jpg every time]], is a distinctive knife.

* WeaponOfChoice: A Browning Hi-Power pistol.

* MsFanservice: Through the film there's a lot of shots focused on her [[ShesGotLegs thighs]], helped by the fact that she has a thigh holster for her gun. She also strips down to a one-piece bathing suit as she and Bond load Sanchez's money on to the ''Wavekrest'' to frame Krest (and Bond [[DistractedByTheSexy even stops briefly to enjoy the view]]), and it doesn't take much of a close look to see that Pam [[VaporWear isn't wearing anything under the dress she has on]] during the climax.

* ShesGotLegs: As shown whenever she draws her .25 from her thigh holster.

* Ain'tTooProudtoBeg: [[spoiler: Bond pulls him into the cocaine grinder where the blades shred him to pieces, as Dario screams in pure agony and screams for Sanchez to come for him, but it didn't happened. He falls in the grinder and dies.]]

* KnifeNut: His WeaponOfChoice, pulled out in [[https://image.ibb.co/jGbtc7/darioattack.png a distinctive]] fashion [[https://image.ibb.co/g6Fmx7/badboydario11.jpg every time]].

* AllforNothing: With him and Loti dead, Bond was able to kill Sanchez and destroy Sanchez's cartel and his operation.

* TheGeneralissimo: Is basically a pastiche of every Latin American caudillo over the last fifty years[[note]]May be slightly-subverted in that he doesn't seem to be that bad of a guy and he and Lupe even become an "item" in the end[[/note]].

* KarmaHoudini: [[spoiler:Despite his villainous nature, he doesn't suffer a grisly fate unlike Sanchez's other associates]] [[note]]In fact, apart from being TheGeneralissimo, he doesn't seem to be a villain at all[[/note]].
