Renard was, as I recall, grossly under-written and under-used, and quite what the bullet in his brain did to him wasn't very well defined at all.

I mean, FFS, you have a relentless Bond villain with a bullet embedded in his brain giving him some kind of low sensitivity while it slowly kills him, and a final confrontation location with a lot of stuff lying around that could easily include a large magnet, and then he gets killed in a totally ordinary fight? The writers weren't even trying.
