Director trademarks

There have been several directors of Bond films over the last 50 years. Each director has his own stamp that he places on films that he direct. Bond directors are no different. several have placed their "trademarks" on films they helm. The ones that come to mind are :
JOHN GLEN He did a total of five films and each film contain his classic "animal scare".
1. FYEO Birds fly out of the cracks while Bond is scaling St Cyril
2. OP remember the tiger jumping out at Bond during the tiger hunt
3. AVTAK While walking up the stairwell at Tracy's home the cat races past him with a scream
4. TLD Monkeys jump out and scream at Bond on Gibralta
5. LTK Recall the pigeons that fly past while Bond is hanging outside Sanchez's suite

LEWIS GILBERT He did three films and each one he has a female character die a brutal death
1.YOLT Helga is dropped into Blofeld's piranha pool
2. TSWLM Stromberg has his treacherous secretary dropped into a shark tank
3. MR Corinne is torn apart by Drax's vicious doblemans

PETER HUNT He only did one film and I'm sure that had he done more we would have been treated to a cameo, as he chooses to do the Hitchcock thing.
OHMSS Hunt's reflection is seen in the Universal Exports sign in the PTS

These are the only ones that come to mind. If you know of any other director trademarks in films by other men (Hamilton, Young, Campbell) then please share or any comments would be appreciated.
