History TearJerker / LicenceToKill

** On that, Lupe's tear-filled and horrified expression as Sanchez whips her while her lover is being murdered outside.

* Fallon isn't very warm and fuzzy, but at the end of the day, he was just an average agent doing his job and got killed as a result of it.

* Lupe's tear-filled and horrified expression as Sanchez whips her while her lover is being murdered outside.
* Later, after the Jeep she's in is stopped by Bond and the DEA, Lupe demonstrates how broken she is after Bond asks her if she wants help by telling him to go away and leave her alone.

* Loti starts crying by Kwang's side as he's dying. The two of them were shown in a more sympathetic way with that scene, they were just doing their job as HeroesOfAnotherStory and Bond got in the way, leading to their deaths.
* Fallon isn't very warm and fuzzy, but at the end of the day, he was just an average agent doing his job and god killed as a result of it.
* Lupe's life might be full of riches since she's very much a GoldDigger and the girlfriend of a drug lord, but it isn't the happiest there is, what with Sanchez's {{domestic abuse}} on her and him killing a man she cheated him with, who could have made her life happier.

** It's even worse when FridgeHorror sets in: Bond and Felix have both lost their brides on their wedding day. Leiter's wife died in an even worse way than Bond's, and Leiter will never physically recover from what was done to him, while Bond didn't even get a scratch when his own wife was killed.

* In a meta sense, Bond never shares a moment with the Moneypenny played by Creator/CarolineBliss in this film, and Bliss didn't return for ''Film/GoldenEye''.

** Felix's near-death experience itself is much more saddening and poignant in recent years following the passing of his actor David Hedison in July 2019, thirty years after playing the role in this film.
* Sharkey's death; not helped by the fact that he was such a NiceGuy. Bond doesn't take his demise that much better. It's much more saddening recently following Sharkey's actor Frank [=McRae=]'s passing in May 2021.

* The death (and strongly-implied rape) of Della and Felix Leiter's own mauling by a shark, all courtesy of Sanchez.

** Bond's sheer horror when he finds their bodies in their house. He is overcome with grief at Della's lifeless expression, and by the time he finds Felix the man has already resigned himself to what is in the body bag left in the man's office. And ''then'' Felix starts regaining consciousness. He immediately moves to stabilize his friend and calls for an ambulance.
** Worse still, even though he survives Felix is still without a good portion of his leg and nearly lost his arm as well. His CIA days are almost certainly over, and it'll be a long road to recovery for him without his wife by his side. Sharkey in particular reacts as well as anyone would when Bond tells him the severity of Felix's injuries.

-->"He was married once. But that was a long time ago."

* The death (and strongly-implied rape of) Della and Felix Leiter's own mauling by a shark courtesy of Sanchez.

* Bond discovering Della murdered and Felix near-fatally maimed.
** Sharkey's death; not helped by the fact that he was such a NiceGuy. Bond doesn't take his demise that much better.

* Sharkey's death.

* Lupe's life isn't the happiest there is, what with Sanchez' {{domestic abuse}} on her. Then again, she's a GoldDigger.
