The Spy Who Loved Me (1977)
Stromberg
Despite being an ersatz Blofeld, Stromberg seems to be at least partially based on Howard Hughes. His mannerisms, germ phobia, OCD and reclusiveness are very reminiscent of Hughes.

Licence to Kill (1989)
Sánchez
It seems clear that Sánchez was based on Pablo Escobar. Sánchez's Law, "Plomo o Plata" (Lead or Silver), is the same as Escobar's Law "Plata o plomo" - only the order of the words is different. Like Escobar, Sánchez is a combination of drug lord and terrorist - before narco-terrorists became common.

Carver
One of the most batshit crazy Bond villains, Carver appears to be based on Rupert Murdoch. However, it was pointed out that Carver was based on Robert Maxwell. M's press release about Carver's death is even a reference to Maxwell's death.
