4	* While it's a dark ride, it's also oddly endearing that Bond is willing to turn his back on [=MI-6=] and risk his life so much just to pay back Felix for all the aid he's given Bond over the years.
5	* Bond having fun with Felix, Della, and their guests at the wedding party. This is what makes it all the more gutwrenching when on the ''very next day'' he discovers what Sanchez has done to them.
6	* Q [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zKhgGUpMTEc showing]] his UndyingLoyalty to James, which is really nice considering how cranky he seems with Bond in the lab in other films (notably, the very next [[Film/{{Goldeneye}} Bond movie]] had Q actually laughing at one of Bond's jokes about his equipment, rather than being exasperated). Later, Bond telling him he would have been a great field agent. Of course, Q already proved that in ''Film/{{Octopussy}}'', but he basically only contributed a hot air balloon. In this film, he spends more time with Bond actively helping him on-site and bringing gadgets with him.
7	* "For James. Love Always, Della and Felix".
8	* One of the drivers actually stops to help his buddy out of a burning tanker in the climactic chase.
9	* Bond looks down upon Pam throughout much of the movie, but in the end, after finally killing Sanchez, Pam shows up in a truck to take Bond home, and it's the first time since the beginning that Bond is genuinely happy:
10	-->'''Pam:''' Well, what are you waiting for? Get in!
11	-->'''Bond:''' (''smiling'') Yes, sir!
12	* Lupe, finally free of Sanchez's wrath, turns up at his luxuriant manor hosting a grand party and thanking James for all his help, with him, Pam, and Q as her guests. As a nice bonus, she even takes the diamond bracelet he had given his iguana for herself. She also smiles for the first time in the film and [[WhenSheSmiles it is a positively wonderful sight.]]
13	* Felix recovering from his wounds to send James his thanks. After having lost everything, including his wife, Felix lives to receive the justice he and Della so profoundly deserved.
14	* At the end, Bond rejects Lupe's advances and instead joins Pam, who's been helping him throughout his escapades. [[RaceForYourLove By jumping in the pool as a short cut]].
15	* The closing MeaningfulEcho.
16	-->'''Pam:''' Why don't you wait til you're asked?
17	-->'''Bond:''' Why don't you ''ask'' me?
