and he didn't have a laser or a superweapon or anything. But Sanchez - he's already achieved global domination in the drug lord business. The scariest thing about him is that there really were people like him at the time ( Pablo Escobar, anyone?) Most Bond villains want global domination.But when he undergoes his Villainous Breakdown near the end of the film, it really peaks. Sanchez himself is pretty terrifying, if it's when he's being Faux Affably Evil, or when he goes into a rage (which he does very often).And when Bond sees her scars later, it's clear from Lupe's response that Sanchez manipulates her into thinking it's her fault that he whipped her.By the way, Dario was the one who did that.

Dario's run in with a cocaine grinder.When they find the money, Perez goes to Sanchez and whispers the news into his ear, and while Sanchez keeps his cool demeanor, his eyes go wide with murderous rage. When Sanchez arrives at the WaveKrest, he questions Krest himself while sending Perez and Braun to look around the ship. A subtle moment occurs shortly before this.It ended up this way due to producers wanting to avoid censorship. Also of note: as gruesome as the scene is, it was actually toned down from the original concept where the figure of Krest in the window had an even more strong resemblance to Anthony Zerbe.What makes it worse is Sanchez's expression: it's completely blank during the entire death scene, and he actually takes the time to let Krest know he's screwed by showing him the axe he uses to destroy the pipe for a few seconds.The lead-up to said death, which has no Background Music but does have the sound of the depth gauge machine reaching a crescendo and then releasing air as it is punctured.Milton Krest's death by Explosive Decompression.In fact, when it was originally submitted to the MPAA, it was given a Restricted Rating and had to be toned down to get a PG-13 note All home video releases since 2006 are of the original unedited version.
