“No it isn’t, is it?”
Elliot Carver (played by Jonathan Pryce) retypes a headline of his Tomorrow newspaper to make it more sensational in Tomorrow Never Dies (1997)
He had to type the headline himself? Didn’t have an editor? And an unnecessary, sensational change…crazy!

002, played by Glyn Baker, makes a disappointed face when he gets shot by a paintball in a training exercise at the beginning of The Living Daylights (1987)
When I think of James Bond at his happiest, I think of this (very brief) scene from GoldenEye (1995) where Bond (Pierce Brosnan) and Natalya Simonova (Izabella Scorupco) are in Cuba after escaping the cold Russian weather and treacherous train.
Seemingly without a care in the world, the couple travel in a BMW Z3 convertible in the beautiful Caribbean climate. The combination of the sweeping, delightful soundtrack, Natalya’s barely-there dress and blissful gaze to Bond as they drive through a luscious jungle-like setting would make anyone jealous. Bond conveys a similar joyous feeling to Natalya with a beaming smile. Heaven!
The feeling is short-lived, however, as the tricked-out Q Branch car picks up an airplane on radar that spoils the party – prompting Natalya to gripe about Bond’s track record while on the go.
Oh, well. It was good while it lasted!

James Bond: [To Valerie] Yes, you said you are on the sixth, I’ll see you to your room.
Valerie Mathis: I’d rather see you to yours.
James Bond: Why would I argue with that?
After Bond saves the Skyfleet S570 airliner from destruction in Casino Royale (2006), revenge is paid to the person that tipped him off to the terrorist plot.

Quantum Of Solace (2008) boasts one of the most brutal deaths at the hand of James Bond (Daniel Craig).
After tracking would-be assassin Edmund Slate (Neil Jackson) to Haiti, Bond visits Slate’s hotel room only to instantly jump into a fight to the death. Slate meets his end when Bond mercilessly stabs him in the neck (likely in the jugular vein) and his leg (likely in the femoral artery) only to let him bleed out on the floor.
