The film series contains examples of:

The novel series contains examples of:

  • Complete Monster: Almost all the Bond villains are pure evil. Most are sadists and psychopaths.
  • Nightmare Fuel: The Garden of Death in You Only Live Twice.
  • Only the Creator Does It Right: The novels written after Fleming's death aren't particularly famous or well-regarded.
  • Trapped by Mountain Lions: As a part of Ian Fleming's apparent obsession with food and high-class living, many of the books take detours from Bond investigating a world-spanning conspiracy to describe him having lunch. In great detail.
  • Values Dissonance:
    • In The Man with the Golden Gun, M reads a psych report speculating that Scaramanga is gay because he uses a large calibre gun.
    • Communists are never up to any good. Bond likes but patronizes Blacks, hates Koreans but loves the Japanese, and thinks "sex equality" has fostered bisexual misfits. Homosexuals cannot whistle.
    • In Goldfinger, Pussy Galore's a lesbian, and Bond bangs her into righteousness.
