Evil deeds: Franz Sanchez (Robert Davi) is a dangerous drug dealer who plans to shoot down DEA helicopters interfering with his drug operation. The main plot, however, focuses on his attempted murder of Bond's CIA correspondent ad best friend Felix Leiter. Sanchez fed Leiter to a shark on Leiter's wedding day, but Leiter survived. His new wife, however, is murdered by Dario, the head henchman for Sanchez. Sanchez is extremely powerful and essentially runs his own country, the republic of Isthmus. Sanchez also kills people in more brutal ways than any other Bond villain. He throws one of his goons Milton Krest into a pressure chamber and raises the pressure until Krest's head explodes. He also shoots several of his other lackeys. Sanchez whips his unfaithful girlfriend, Lupe, and mercilessly kills any of her lovers. While his scheme may not be the most impressive, Sanchez's brutal murdering style, lack of remorse, control of a country, and attempted murder on Felix earn Franz a top 10 spot in the countdown.
Signs of Weakness: Sanchez actually seems like a very nice guy to those who are loyal to him. When he believes Bond is his friend. He treats him like royalty and throws some extra cash Bond's way. He also has too much love for his pet iguana.
