Appears in: Licence To Kill

Actor: Benicio Del Toro

Attempted methods of killing Bond:

• bar-fight
• puts Bond on conveyor to cocaine packet-crusher

How he is dispatched: Pam Bouvier shoots him, and he falls into the crusher himself.

Evil scheme: Dario is Franz Sanchez's personal guard and knife-man. Sanchez is the chief drug-runner and financier to the puppet-government of Isthmus. His plans are to set up a drug pipeline from Isthmus City to the U.S. using a fleet of tanker trucks for transportation.

During the course of the film, Dario:

• Kills the lover of Lupe Lamora by cutting out his heart
• kills (and presumably rapes) Della Leiter
• watches the torture and maiming of Felix Leiter
• Oversees the "contact" with Pam Bouvier at the bar, and gets into fight with Bond and Pam, shooting Pam in the back as she and Bond make their escape.
• gives away Bond's identity to Sanchez, and attempts to kill him in crusher.

How plans were foiled: Bond infiltrates Sanchez's organization and destroys all the trucks and manufacturing facilities.


Defining dialogue: "Don't worry. We gave her a nice honeymoooon."
