History Film / OnHerMajestysSecretService

* GanglandDriveBy: [[spoiler:Tracy]] is killed by Blofeld and Fraulein Bunt in a drive-by shooting.

* IronicEcho: Bond calls back to the theme from the FallingInLoveMontage after [[spoiler: Tracy is killed by Bunt and Blofeld at the end.]]

** The bobsled scene and the raid on Piz Gloria occur simultaneously in the book, so Bond doesn't participate in the former raid. In the film, Bond storms Piz Gloria with the Union Course in order to rescue Tracy, then pursues Blofeld down the bobsled track as well.

* CasualDangerDialogue: Bond demonstrates his NervesOfSteel by chatting casually with the Union Corse members who are having him "taken for a ride" (or so he thinks). Not that they do much talking back.

* MafiaPrincess: Tracy's father, Marc-Ange Draco, is the leader of Union Corse, an organized crime syndicate, though Tracy herself is not evil by any means.

* MenOfSherwood: The Union Corse.

* OrganizationWithUnlimitedFunding: Draco brags that the Union Corse is the biggest crime syndicate in Europe. Bond replies that SPECTRE is larger, given that it operates worldwide.

** Draco knows who Bond is (and vice versa) but the Union Corse has well-known connections with the French intelligence service, whom Bond has worked with.

%% * GettingCrapPastThe Radar: Due to overwhelming and persistent misuse, GCPTR is on-page examples only until 01 June 2021. If you are reading this in the future, please check the trope page to make sure your example fits the current definition.

* DrugsAreBad: Marc-Ange Draco, head of the Unione Corse, the biggest European crime syndicate, commits murder, extortion, theft, sexual slavery, and many, many other crimes. But he's a good guy because he doesn't sell drugs.

* BarefootSuicide: Tracy removes her shoes before attempting to drown herself by walking into the sea. After she drives off, Bond is left holding her slippers like Prince Charming (the "other fellow" he's [[MythologyGag ostensibly referring to]]).

* BreakingTheFourthWall: The teaser ends with Tracy running away from Bond after he saves her, to which he turns to the camera and says "This never happened to [[Creator/SeanConnery the other fellow]]." The [[WatsonianVersusDoylist in-universe justification]] for the comment is that he's describing [[Literature/SnowWhite Prince Charming]].

* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: "This never happened to [[Creator/SeanConnery the other fellow]]." In-universe, he could be referring to Prince Charming, what with both shoes instead of just one.

* BarefootSuicide: Tracy removes her shoes before attempting to drown herself by walking into the sea. Averted as James Bond saves her.

*** Later, one of Blofeld's patients used a emery board (non-metallic nail file) to sneak into ''his'' room.

* OrganizationWithUnlimitedFunding: It's mentioned that Draco has ties to the most powerful crime organization on Earth. Bond replies that SPECTRE is larger, given that it operates worldwide.

* OvertOperative: Averted by Bond adopting the secret identity of "Sir Hilary Bray" rather well, complete with hobbies, personal foibles, insecurities and professional experience.

* TakeThisJobAndShoveIt: When M takes Bond off Operation Bedlam, Bond dictates a letter of resignation to Moneypenny and is genuinely hurt when M accepts it without question. It turns out that Moneypenny altered it to a request for two weeks' leave.

* DoubleEntendre: Not just from Bond this time either.
-->'''Tracy:''' ''(whilst fleeing the bad guys in the middle of a stock car race with James in tow)'' I hope my big end will stand up to this!

* MaleGaze: When Tracy first appears in Switzerland, the camera pans up her legs.

* ManInAKilt: Bond wears a kilt to dinner at Piz Gloria. Ironic, given that this is Lazenby rather than Connery.

* DarkReprise: Of "We Have All The Time in the World" and "Bond Arrives in Piz Gloria"

* NotSoOmniscientCouncilOfBickering: The United Nations seems to spend an inordinate amount of time debating whether to grant Blofeld's demand for amnesty from all past crimes and for his dubious claim to the title of count to be recognized which for a supervillain is fairly reasonable, to say nothing of the fact that he plans to unleash biological warfare if his demands are not met.

* NoOneCouldHaveSurvivedThat: Blofeld gets caught in a branch by the neck at 45 mph while trying to escape Bond via bobsled, complete with a shot of his lifeless legs dangling in mid-air (bringing an execution to mind). He later reappears in a neck brace. Oops.

* ParallelPornTitles: ''Series/{{Life on Mars|2006}}'' had an illicit porn operation with a tape called "On Her Majesty's Secret Cervix".

** After turning in his resignation Bond goes into his office and pulls out of his desk [[Film/DrNo Honey Ryder's belt and knife]], [[Film/FromRussiaWithLove Red Grant's garrote wire wrist watch]] and [[Film/{{Thunderball}} his own underwater breathing device]]. A bit of music from each film plays along with the props' appearances.

* MistakenForGay: Bond, when impersonating Sir Hilary Bray, emphasises that he's not very good around "young ladies", saying he's never had much to do with them. This results in the women in question thinking that he is gay.

* ShowSomeLeg: When Tracy recognises her father's voice on the radio from the approaching "[[UsefulNotes/TheRedCross Red Cross]]" helicopters, she immediately starts being nice to Blofeld, [[DistractedByTheSexy who gets annoyed when one of his men tries to draw his attention to them]]. "For thee the poet of beguilement sings" indeed.

* SpyCam: Bond uses a small camera to take snap shots of a map that shows where the "Angels Of Death" are to release a biological agent.

* AristocratsAreEvil: Blofeld poses as a FakeAristocrat and renames himself "Comte Balthazar de Bleuchamp" by having his earlobes surgically removed to back-up his phony claim to the title. Once 007 is in Piz Gloria, he learns that Blofeld secretly plans to contaminate and ultimately sterilize the world's food supply using biological warfare, carried by his brainwashed Angels of Death. Blofeld claimed he would not carry out his plan if all his past crimes were pardoned and he is recognized as the current Count de Bleauchamp.

* BondVillainStupidity: [[WhyDontYaJustShootHim Despite knowing how resourceful and dangerous Bond is]], Blofeld decides to keep him alive as he may "prove useful during the negotiations". Of course Bond soon escapes. This is in stark contrast to Blofeld's attitude in the [[Film/YouOnlyLiveTwice previous film]] where he killed a beautiful mook [[YouHaveFailedMe for her failure at eliminating Bond.]] Admitedly, killing Bond would just make things more tense in Blofeld's quest for a pardon so he can become a KarmaHoudini. He also specifically mentions that Bond would be an external witness to his activities to verify his claims that he can actually release a "Virus Omega" and is not merely bluffing. From a [[WatsonianVersusDoylist Doylist]] perspective, the movies were filmed out of order with the books; ''OHMSS'' is the first time Bond and Blofeld meet in the books. That's why they don't know each other as well as they do in ''YOLT''.

* {{Brainwashed}}: Blofeld's latest scheme involves turning young women into unwitting bioterrorists.

* MenOfSherwood: Marc-Ange Draco's commandoes.

* WidowedAtTheWedding: Bond is briefly married and immediately widowed when Blofeld sends Irma Bunt to try killing him in retribution for him foiling his plans earlier but she kills his wife Tracy instead. Bond is still reeling from the trauma as late as ''Film/ForYourEyesOnly''. Currently provides the trope's page image.

* YouCalledMeXItMustBeSerious: This marks the only time that Q adresses Bond by his first name. Fittingly enough, it's at his wedding.

* NoOSHACompliance: A wall decoration near the elevator at Piz Gloria has ridiculously sharp spikes by the stairwell. Sure enough, Tracy manages to kill Grunther by throwing him into it.

* JustBetweenYouAndMe: {{Justified}}. Just for once Blofeld actually has a sensible reason for keeping the captured Bond alive and explaining the plot to him: Bond's credibility will lend weight to Blofeld's threat to the United Nations.

* BlindIdiotTranslation: Some foreign subtitles translate [[BondOneLiner Bond's One-Liner]] of "He had lots of guts!" during the second ski chase as "He was very brave". The context to this is that the mook he's referring to had just been shredded to pieces by a patrolling snowblower, resulting in his ''actual'' guts being sprayed all over the place.

* AdaptationalBadass: Also counting as an inversion of AdaptationalCurves, Blofeld is portrayed by Telly Savalas, a fairly buff dude. In the books, Blofeld is described as someone whose "muscle has all turned to fat."
