Franz Sanchez

"When it gets up to your ankles, you're going to beg to tell me everything. When it gets up to your knees, you'll kiss my ass to kill you!" Franz Sanchez about to send Bond down a conveyor to a cocaine grinder.

Franz Sanchez is a South American drug lord and the main antagonist of License to Kill. He was captured by the DEA with the help of James Bond and Felix Leiter at the beginning. While being decided his fate, Sanchez bribes Ed Killifer to his side and escapes custody. The drug lord then has Della Churchill murdered and Leiter maimed, but Bond retaliates by feeding Killifer to the shark that injured Leiter. Aboard the WaveKrest, Bond stole 5 million dollars in cash and ruined the latest drug shipment. In Ishtmus, Sanchez was holding a meeting with corrupt president Hector Lopez. Bond destroys the bulletproof window with explosives but is captured before he can kill Sanchez. After Bond was detained by British agents who are working against Sanchez, Sanchez takes a hold of the agent, but not before killing the team leader Kwang. At night, Bonb dupes Sanchez into thinking Milton Krest is selling out the drug lord and paying some hitmen. Bond sneaks again into Sanchez's turf and sleeps with Lupe Lamora, Sanchez's girlfriend. At the drug plant, Bond finds out the scientists can dissolve cocaine into gas. Sanchez would then sell the drug to the Asians. Now taking action, Bond starts a fire in the lab igniting an evacuaiton. In a high-speed chase battle, Bond blows up many cocaine gas trucks. Knowing of his failure, Sanchez executes Truman-Lodge. The battered Sanchez prepares to kill Bond but the agent asks him why he had destroyed the South American's empire. With Sanchez distracted, Bond opens his cigarette lighter and burns Sanchez who was soaked in gasoline alive. The resulting explosion destroyed the crashed tanker next to Bond.
