Cruel and Unusual Death | |
| Le Magnifique / int_1e584efa | comment |
Cruel and Unusual Death: An agent is trapped into a phone booth, then thrown into the ocean, then eaten by a shark. When Karpov catches Bob Saint-Clar, he plans to get him killed by the bites of rabid rats in his buttocks (or rats having cyanide on their teeth in another version devised by Merlin). | |

Shark Pool | |
| Le Magnifique / int_3a2c615c | comment |
Shark Pool: Not a shark pool, but a variation: an agent is trapped in a phone booth, which is thrown into the ocean. At the bottom of the ocean, a shark is waiting in a cage, not far from the phone booth. Then mooks in diving suits let the shark enter the phone booth and kill the agent. | |
