Line 8:
* [[Nightmare Fuel]]: The cremation scene. Getting cremated alive has got to be the most horrific way to die imaginable.
* [[Sequelitis]]: It's widely considered Connery's weakest and among the low points of the series for its campy tone and incoherent plot.
* [[They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot]]: Bond going on a [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge]] to destroy Blofeld and SPECTRE once and for all would have made a hell of a movie and a [[Grand Finale]] to the [[Sean Connery]] era, or a great comeback for Lazenby. Too bad the revenge angle all but disappears after the [[Cold Open]], Lazenby was long gone and Connery [[Money, Dear Boy|looks bored as hell]], the movie's a giant cheese factory on wheels and nothing with Blofeld really gets resolved.
* [[Values Dissonance]]: James plays with Tiffany's genuine fear of being locked up for pure kicks at times.
* [[What an Idiot!]]: Willard Whyte has installations all over the place; Alaska, Florida, Maine, Oregon, Texas, Baja -- wait, he doesn't have anything in Baja? The villains could've set up ''anywhere'' along any coastline, ''and they choose the one place Whyte knows he doesn't have any property''? And then they ''mark'' their secret base on Whyte's map?
** To be fair, Blofeld didn't think that he would be kicked out of that hotel room, so the map was more or less safe. And Whyte ''does'' have property in Baja- Blofeld bought it when impersonating him, so it (semi-)legally belongs to his company.
