* [[Villain with Good Publicity]]: Drax is revered by the British public as a great patriot, who is using his enormous wealth to gift Britain her own nuclear defence system. In fact, he is a Nazi in the guise of a British citizen who plans to use the missile to destroy London.
* [[Wacky Wayside Tribe]]: The Blades sequence has no impact on the main rocket missile plot, although it does serve as an extended intro for Sir Hugo Drax, as well as giving M some much-needed characterisation.
** ItThe alsoBlades providessequence actually does effect the main plot by providing Bond with several of the clues that later on will help him deduce the plot; first, that Drax is not entirely mentally stable, second, that despite his favorable public image he is actually a liar and a cheat, and finally, that Drax is anticipating some major event in the near future that will render all of his losses to date irrelevant.
* [[Weaponized Exhaust]]: One of the few scenes from the novel to make it into the movie.
* [[World War II]]: The background for many of the novel's events.
