That wouldn't have necessarily broke the continuity for me. I'd take it that Dench is the new M, and the events of YOLT took place in her predecessor's time, and she's kind of saying 'that doesn't happen anymore' rather than 'that never happened'. It's a similar spin to the Goldeneye "sexist misogynist dinosaur" speech, where the scriptwriters seem to be saying same Bond in a different world. They did it in the Craig Era with the exploding pen line. "We really don't go in for that kind of thing anymore" I think M said.
But yes, it's just a bit of fan-service, in the same was Rog's "from Russia, with love" line was in AVTAK. Best not to dwell too heavily on them.
Brozza was great, wasn't he? I enjoyed the PB years.
When Masterson called Bond, Mr. Bond, Bond said that she should just "Call me James".
That's quite familiar to me, until I remember in No Time To Die, which Craig spoke that line to Nomi "James, call me James".
And just now, also realized that Moore's Bond also said that line in A View To A Kill in the PTS.
Quite interesting that these three Bond Actors carried this line.
When Nomi picks him up on her scooter on the ride back to his house after she (allegedly) sabotages his Land Rover :D
It's not even bad to peek a little into Bond's mind, but for me, it's seasoning. And now I feel they have been over-seasoning.
So, what this does...
It no longer makes Patricia Fearing an innocent victim of sexual harassment by Bond. He didn't start making a move on her until he realized she was "with" Lippe. And this only intensified after Bond was left on the rack. It all makes sense, now.
All of his appearances in the past were all in a Fleming titled Bond films (FRWL, TB, YOLT, OHMSS, and FYEO).
So, No Time To Die might be the first non fleming title or a title didn't came from Fleming to feature Blofeld.
Every actor in the CR main credits had his or her character die over the course of Craig's era... except for one. Who was it?
I did read a take on this section of the film as Lippe and Bond are basically getting into a pissing match with each trying to one up the other. Patricia becomes a pawn or trophy that they vie for. The thrust of the article is that it was a juvenile game between two grown men.
Mr. Mendel?
But it also foreshadows Bond's similar tug of war with Largo over Domino. He did the same with Goldfinger. I like that aspect of Connery Bond, something we don't get anymore.
After Bond is captured and awakes on the plane, he asks if any of his luggage survived the crash, and Mei Lei mentions that his attache case was damaged when examined. In my mind, I see some of Goldfinger’s personnel triggering the tear-gas cartridge on themselves by opening the case wrong. It’s really a throwaway moment but I’ve always liked it.
I always liked that mention too. There's another earlier in the film when Bond notices Tilly's case and asks if she's there for the hunting season and mentions he had one like that once, which I took to mean the attache case.
Ha! That’s a great fact.
Daniel Craig's predecessor was in this movie!
And.....
An Octopussy having sex with this guy's face.....AKA Octopussy Onatopp! Orgasm, Octopussy? :))
(Well, use your imagination for this 😂).
In GF when Oddjob gets in the Lincoln Continental to take Mr. Solo to the airport he's wearing a dark waistcoat. But shortly after when he gets in the pickup with the crushed Lincoln Continental (and Mr. Solo) he's wearing a grey waistcoat. (And is clearly a Caucasian man too.)
If Bond married Tracy, then when Draco died, all of his properties would go to Tracy, one of them is the Draco Construction company, then if Tracy couldn't handle the company due to the lack of knowledge and experience, then it would be Bond (because he's the husband, in case that Tracy couldn't handle her father's business). He could be the new owner of the Construction company!
And of course, if there's a conjugal property that's going to be signed, then Bond had some shares at all of Draco's fortune in case that he dies, of course all of that would go to Teresa, but Bond also had some shares, if the Conjugal Property or the Prenuptial agreement was signed.
A shame, Bond could have been a rich man.
In my mind, Bond had always just kept the proceeds from beating Drax at Blades in Moonraker (despite M's pressure to donate it), setting him up for life.
What happens to Draco after OHMSS is something that keeps me up at night. I so wish we got a follow up to OHMSS with Lazenby, Savalas, and Ferzetti. He was a great actor and a great character, and I would love to have seen some unbridled rage from him towards Blofeld. I have in my mind a nice way to have incorporated him into a more faithful adaption of YOLT.
Dr. No doesn't have hands.
Thanks for coming to my TED Talk.
