Makes me wonder how much of this stuff I have yet to discover. Very cool, thanks for sharing!
So cool to spot little easter eggs like this. In all the years I've been watching these movies I've never picked up on any of these.
Can't tell you all enough just how much I appreciate these message boards for bringing things like this to my attention!
Excellent find! Now how do we find out what the painting is?
Maybe they forgot about it.
Not enough room on the wall.
Is it safe to assume that Judi Dench stayed in that hotel and stole the painting?
I know you stole that painting in Portugal.
This is because the sequence had been changed in editing, the events in room 304 happen before the dinner at the casino.
That explains why Bond and Felix talk in the background at the end.
@CommanderRoss, I look at it like this: From the moment Bond came up the beach with Domino, he'd spotted Felix and knew he was there-or maybe he was even informed by MI6 that Felix would be his CIA contact on the ground, and he was chosen for the job because of their success together in the Jamaica and Kentucky operations. Bond and Felix, knowing of each other's presence in the Bahamas, are then just waiting for the right moment to "talk shop," which comes during the hotel scene. Up until that time Bond was too out in the open to speak to him, as he was fixed in the sight lines of Largo's men. If he and Felix began talking just after Domino had left during that day lunch or at the even more packed casino, the organization would know very early that the Americans and Brits were teaming up against them, and had found out their major players and scheme early. To avoid jeopardizing the state of the mission, Bond and Felix had to meet more privately.
This ends up not working entirely as planned, as Felix comes the same moment one of Largo's boys tries to get at Bond in the hotel, blowing the cover Felix may (or likely not) have had. The funny thing is that before his death by sharks, Quist never relates the information that Bond is in bed with the CIA and is getting their help. Maybe Largo already knew this fact, given his wide connections, and was simply focused on dealing with Bond in the appropriate moment to stop an counter-attacks from going against them.
If Felix was blown and SPECTRE already knew Bond well, you wonder why the two of them spend so much time dancing around each other in the field instead of talking. If people already know who they are, why hide it?
I never really connected this until I read that from you this week. I had never wondered why Sean was wearing the same clothes at lunch with Domino and at the hotel meeting with Felix, two scenes that are split up by the casino scene that makes them occur on two separate days instead of one after the other. Mind-bending.
Thanks! will look into it. Fascinating stuff.
I think you got the point about that picture and that makes me think that it could be a marvellous coincidence !?
So this is another instance which adds to the running continuity of the films (at least prior to Craig but that's debatable). Now we have a link between Dr.No and TMWTGG! Different actor, same Bond.
James Bond is in Hong Kong in the PTS of YOLT.
Oops. Death by pirana pool for me.
