History Characters / Moonraker

* BrokenPedestal: Bond saw him as a famed British war hero and admired him until finding out about his Nazi past and scheme to destroy England.

* VillainWithGoodPublicity: His rags-to-riches story and generous philanthropy has earned him the acclaim of the British populace. Even Bond admires him before learning that he's a Nazi saboteur seeking revenge against England for the destruction of his people.

** For a chance to entirely discredit the idea of Western nukes based out of Europe at that time, they'd trust a ''monkey'' with a nuke, though it is noticeable that the Russians provided his head scientist was (although German) to him, and Dr. Walter was the person in charge of designing and setting the Moonraker's guidance system. Given he worked for a country that despised both the Soviets and the British, and is said to hold anti-Russia feelings deep in his heart, [[DidntThinkThisThrough what's to stop Drax from aiming it at Moscow instead?]]

* ChainPain: Uses a chain in the second half of his fight with Bond in the clock tower.

* ImprobableWeaponUser: He uses a wooden kendo saber against Bond. Not the best way to kill him honestly. Would have been better off with a [[KatanasAreJustBetter katana]].

* WouldHitAGirl: Kills Corrine Dufour by setting Drax’s dogs on her.

* {{Jerkass}}: Bond describes him as a "bullying, boorish, and loud-mouthed vulgarian" who makes an ostentatious display of wealth and is lacking in refinement.

* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: JustifiedTrope. [[ThoseWackyNazis Being that he's a Nazi]], he's naturally going to be anti-Semitic, as seen in how he fondly remembers beating a Jewish banker to death after the war and bullying his partner, Meyer, during the poker game with Bond. He also goes on a huge tirade against England to Bond and Gala when they've been captured.

* TwoFaced: Left side of his face burned during the war. Plastic surgery managed to fix it somewhat, but it still has some noticeable puckering. Also a metaphorical reference to his [[VillainWithGoodPublicity true status]] as a Nazi who sought revenge against Britain for the destruction of his country by masquerading himself as an English gentleman.

* ShownTheirWork: Unlike Stromberg, who had a detailed plan for destroying the world but no real details as to how he expected to rebuild it, Drax's evil plan goes into great detail as to how he expects to rebuild the human race after TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt (for starters, his weapon doesn't affect plant or animal life, and he has a population of "perfect" humans from every ethnic group to repopulate the world with).

* * {{Sadist}}: Krebs is implied to be a sexual sadist. As he approaches Gala intending to torture her with a blowtorch, the narrative notes that his mouth is hanging open and he's breathing funny.

* ANaziByAnyOtherName: He plans to kill the Earth's population with nerve gas and re-populate it with his own race of "perfect" people (mostly attractive blondes).

* PunnyName: In some Latin American countries, "doing a Manuela" is an euphemism for ADateWithRosiePalms. It might be just a coincidence, but in a movie where another woman is named Holly Goodhead, it being intentional doesn't sound too far-fetched.

* OutOfFocus: There are many of them (as Drax's plan to repopulate the world would require), but the only ones the film (and even promotional materials for the film) focuses one are the ones to make appearances through the film before the reveal of their purpose (the two who appear at Drax's château, the two who appear during Drax's pheasant hunt, and the two who appear as a museum guide and a receptionist at Venini Glass). There's also the fact that it is revealed that each one of them has a male partner with which to reproduce, but [[MaleGaze for obvious reasons]], the film focuses on the females.

* BuxomIsBetter: Despite HollywoodHomely being invoked for the rest of the film, her introductory scene shows that she has a rather ample cleavage.

* HotScientist: An attractive scientist. The good doctor even manages to use her good looks to distract a {{mook|s}} while she and Bond are kidnapped in Brazil.

* ShesGotLegs: Her bottom open dress when first meeting Bond showcases her lovely legs.

* KnifeNut: As part of being a TortureTechnician.

* ShesGotLegs: Her bottom open dress when first meeting Bond lovely showcases her legs.

* AbsoluteCleavage: Their dresses are cut down to the top half of their stomachs.

* ButWhatAboutTheAstronauts: Enforced. Drax and them go to his space station to survive while humanity on Earth is wiped out with a nerve gas.

* {{Expy}}: Minus the lack of a NiceHat, he has quite a few qualities in common with [[Film/{{Goldfinger}} Oddjob]].

No, she does ''not'' wear braces despite that being a perfect complement to her HollywoodNerd looks. [[MandelaEffect You're misremembering]] the movie [[CommonKnowledge if you think she does]].
