Braun

Braun is a supporting villain in the James Bond film Licence to Kill. He is a henchmen of drug lord Franz Sanchez and played by Guy De Saint Cyr.

Braun is silent for the most of the film. His distinguishing feature is the scar going down the side of his face and carries a Heckler and Koch P9S as a weapon. Braun, along with Dario and Perez, murder the man with whom Lupe Lamora is having relations with in the pretitle sequence. He then escapes while Sanchez is captured. The three ambush Felix Leiter and his new wife Della in their home. Braun quiets Della down as the three rape and murder her and bring Felix to Sanchez.

When Bond goes after Sanchez personally, Braun is seen in most sequences around Sanchez and his friend Perez. Later, when Bond and CIA contract pilot Pam Bouvier place nearly five million dollars in cash in the Wavekrest’s decompression chamber, Braun and Perez are the first to find the money and Braun shows it to Sanchez personally, then shuts the chamber door closed after Sanchez throws Milton Krest into it and kills him. After Bond sets Sanchez’s cocaine factory on fire, Braun accompanies Sanchez to check on Colonel Heller and the Stinger Missiles.

After they kill him, Braun starts a pickup truck and heads after the tanker truck chase. He picks up Perez, who is stranded in the middle of the chase, and they start after Bond. They go to great lengths to kill him, even driving their truck through flames, causing the tyres to catch fire. As they catch up with Bond on the last tanker truck, Perez tries to shoot him. Bond turns a valve, causing the gas to flood out onto the road. The flaming tyres ignite the gas, turning the pickup into a fireball. Unable to control the vehicle, Braun drives off a cliff, nearly hitting Bouvier in her airplane, while he and Perez fall to their deaths.
