** Similarly, Bond's sauna encounter with Xenia strikes a good balance between sex, action, humour and slight hints of NightmareFuel; for all that it is a pretty solid fight - with Xenia shrugging off Bond's attempts at escape - and that it is both sexy and slightly nightmarish because of Xenia's killing method, there is something funny about elements of it, including Bond's eventual method of escape... And the fact that Creator/PierceBrosnan's '[[NarmCharm pain]][[MemeticMutation face]]' is on full display when he's at Xenia's mercy.
*** And then there's the poor fool who ([[AmbiguousSituation apparently]]) misunderstands the situation and charges at Bond, only to get a face full of bucket.
*** Perhaps funniest is the commentary track; director Creator/MartinCampbell thoughtfully remarks on the set and the use of doubles, but as Xenia snatches Bond up to crush him on the bench jovially states he knows people who've paid money to have it done ''rather like that''; even more hilariously, this is TruthInTelevision as there are a number of reenactments and homages to Xenia starring fetish models and the like, paid for by fans from that community.
