GoldenEye (film)/Characters: Difference between revisions

** On the masochist side, she loves Bond hitting her in the sauna scene.

* [[Dark Action Girl]]: In spades.

* [[Depraved Bisexual]]: It's all but spelled out explicitly that Xenia swings both ways when Natalya tries to attack her.

* [[The Dragon]]: For Ourumov and later Trevelyan.

* [[Erotic Asphyxiation]]: Part of Xenia's MO. She wraps her thighs around the ribcages of her lovers and victims and squeezes, depriving them of air and thoroughly enjoying the situation herself. Most prominently employed in the [[Interplay of Sex and Violence]] scene that is the sauna.

** Xenia also has her own expy in the form of the buff SIE of [[Alpha Protocol]] fame, who shares Onatopp's tendencies toward rough sex and violence.

* [[Murderous Thighs]]: A notorious example. This results in {{spoiler|a [[Karmic Death]] for her}}.

* [[Big Bad]]

* [[Big Bad Friend]]

* [[Evil Counterpart]]

* [[Evil Former Friend]]

** Additionally, Sean Bean was one of the people initially considered to replace Roger Moore before Timothy Dalton took the role.

* [[Faking the Dead]]

* [[Foe Yay]]: Appearently, he and James used to share ''everything''.

* [[Genre Savvy]]: Justified as he's a former [[MI 6]] agent. He [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshades]] this throughout the film, such as when Bond asks him where Natalya is, and he replies, "Ah, yes. Your fatal weakness."

*** However, he isn't savvy enough to take away {{spoiler|Bond's pen grenade}}.

* [[Hannibal Lecture]]: Has a tendency to give these to Bond.

* [[Made of Iron]]: Somehow, some way, he was not killed by {{spoiler|being inside a chemical weapons plant when it exploded while he was right next to the gas tanks with the explosives on them}}, then he survives {{spoiler|a very, very, very long fall onto concrete. He wasn't in great shape, might have been dying, but was still alive. Of course, then the antenna fell on top of him, so we'll never know.}}

* [[Meaningful Name]]: "Janus" was a two-faced Roman deity.

* [[Revenge]]: He is seeking revenge for the betrayal of his family, who were part of the Lienz Cossacks who worked with the Nazis against the Russians during WWII. The Cossacks, who believed that they were under British protection near the end of the war, were sent back to Stalin, who promptly had them all shot. Janus, needless to say, is pissed about this, and seeks to make the British government pay.

* [[Rogue Agent]]

* [[You Killed My Father]]: Trevelyan's anger at the Crown for allowing his parents to be killed.

----

* [[Evil Genius]]

* [[Hollywood Hacking]]: Boris' "spike" is pretty classic [[Hollywood Hacking]], including an [[Extreme Graphical Representation]]. It ultimately gets used against him when Natalya spikes him in order to locate the Janus base just three minutes before the train she and Bond are on is set to blow.

* [[Playful Hacker]]: A particularly villainous one. Natalya calls him on treating people's lives like a game during their confrontation.

----

An ex-KGB agent turned Russian mafioso. Bond has to go to him for info about Janus, which is complicated by the history he has with Valentin -- the reason he has the limp in his right leg is because Bond shot him in the knee, and Bond also stole his car and his girl, giving Valentin plenty of reason to be pissed off. Valentin makes a return appearance in ''The World Is Not Enough'', where {{spoiler|he sacrifices himself to save Bond from Elektra King}}.

 

'''Valentin:''' I think not. }}

* [[The Mafiya]]: Valentin's current line of work.

* [[Moscow Centre]]: Valentin was once a KGB agent.
