Wow from what we've learned form this thread, Ian Fleming, Roald Dahl (script writer for You Only Live Twice), and the parade of Bond movie script writers for many decades now seem to really excel at killing off endearing characters so horribly (giving Josh Whedon and George R.R. Martin a run for their money). )

The young Navy officer from HMS Ranger in The Spy Who Loved Me is another sad death scene for me. He bravely attempts to take the control room on the Liparus with only a few fellow sailors and then goes down in a hail of gun fire. I really felt bad for him and his fellow sailors, also I was pretty upset with Quarrel's death watching Dr. No the first time, since burning to death is one of my personal fears.
Hapless KGB agent Klotkoff suffers a disturbing death, as noted in Firemass's list. He's executed in cold blood on Zorin's nod, dropped screaming down the pump and dismembered by churning blades. Although Klotkoff is little more than a caricature, a minor role, actor Bogdan Kominowski conveys the man's terror realistically in the moment he realises his fate. Insulting Zorin in an earlier scene was as good as sealing his own doom, but as Pola Ivanova's colleague he wasn't really one of the movie's bad guys, just inept.
Violent deaths in later Roger Moore films such as AVTAK, which oscillate uneasily between broad humour and serious drama, actually disturb me more than the deaths in the darker but tonally more consistent Craig movies.
Critics and material I don't need. I haven't changed my act in 53 years.
IMO , it wasn't gold paint that led to Jills death....most likely Oddjob violently choked her to death , he was certainly strong enough to kill a small woman. I guess he could've broken her neck as well........
Zorin and mr Kidds death , but they had it coming......esp Zorin who was tremendously cruel.
I got the impression she was really throttled or had her neck broken by Oddjob as well. The gold paint (like the oil for poor Ms. Fields) must've been applied in the bathroom suite and she got dumped onto the bed.

For those long Nights. Also, I believe that being Painted head to Toe wont actually kill you, but make you very stuffy.
