In Korean: 아 아
In Octopussy, the license plate of Kamal Khan's Rolls Royce reads KAM-1.
Yep, that's one of the strange things. It's probably to get a beloved character back in a movie. He finds it highly irregular himself too (YOLT IIRC). Strange though how M degraded from head of MI6 (and 7, for a very short time ;-) ) to head of a double-oh 'programme'. That's one of the things I really didn't like about Spectre. A full programme for what, three agents withe a 00 status?
I would guess it's a priority for Q to provide his services where there is the most priority such as assisting a OO in identifying a killer such as Locque. The guy has enough assistants after all. I mean isn't that his job?
I also noticed that when Magda passes Bond near the train tracks in Karl-Marx-Stadt (when he's carrying the box to hide his face) she gets a clear point blank look at him. Surprised she didn't recognize him.
Hm, that's cool. Likely a happy accident, but you bet your arse a meeting with Yusef and White in Morocco following Vesper's death is in my head canon now, where the pair discussed how Yusef would have to fake his death to throw Bond off Quantum's scent.
A fine riposte to those cynics who say they just made it all up on the hoof. The Bloberhauser story arc was put in place from day one of pre production of CR.
Superlative screenwriting worthy of the master:
Hope you're not insinuating The Phantom Menace was anything other than a resounding success?
You haven't met a Star Wars fan? Although SW fans usually embrace small cameos from characters who simply are on screen to look like SW character. Many Bond fans want them to speak, to do things relevant to the plot, etc. When they are henchmen at least.
I try to keep my distance from the Star Wars crowd, as it's a bit like a Christian and an atheist trying to chat.
Oddjob isn't a cameo character though, he's a full on villain, so I was mystified why people were getting so up in arms about a trivial part of his character. I never see Oddjob get any criticism anyway; my feeling is he's untouchable outside of the brave who do speak up about his flaws.
No he's not a cameo true but I many in this thread are.
It did win Best Picture six years in a row because of how incredible it was, so definitely not!
I remember the Academy making that one exception. Not many people know that bit of trivia, but you can still find a picture in the deep web of George Lucas balancing all 6 Oscar trophies for Best Picture in his arms over at Skywalker ranch.
And remarkably the only person he thanked in all six of his speeches was Jar-Jar, despite being repeatedly reminding that Jar-Jar is not a real person.
Yeah, that was awkward, especially since he made it the final line of all his big acceptance speeches. He also thanked the Academy for both nominating and awarding Jar-Jar's actor with a Best Supporting Actor Oscar, when neither of those things actually happened. But people were so taken by the man's genius that they blew it off and let George do and say as he pleased.
WOW
It's confirmation bias but in my "head canon" as you said this is indeed what happened.
And Brosnan's first three (the 90s films).
And Lazenby's.
Narrows it down.
Can't be Shatterhand though.
