Fenech: The Forgotten Basterd
An Inglourious Basterds spin-off by Quentin Tarantino
Then the thought is gone.
Now I realise everyone else has been wondering the same thing, and finally we are discussing it.
For what it's worth Baron Samedi fell into a coffin full of deadly snakes, and it did him no harm! Maybe Carter is a disciple of the great man and has a bit of voodoo knoo hoo (I mean 'know how')
On wikipedia, I was reading about Geoffrey Jenkins' Per Fine Ounce novel rejected by Glidrose, and I came across the paragraph where it says Harry Saltzman forbid any studios to adapt Colonel Sun into a movie just because Glidrose refused to publish Jenkins'novel. But, it didn't say why.
So, the question is why?
Was Saltzman a close friend of Jenkins' or something?
That's correct. I talk about it a bit in my article here:

I do find it a bit odd though as by September 1976 and the time of the filming of TSWLM (and Amis' visit to the set) the relationship and partnership between Harry Saltzman and Cubby Broccoli was very much at an end so why would Saltzman's word have any sway on what was Broccoli's call whether to film Colonel Sun or not. Plus there is fact that the person Amis spoke to the requisite Eon on TSWLM set was merely a PR man (and therefore not an Eon authority or decision-making person) on his visit in September 1976, as recounted in his Collected Letters (2000), edited by Zachary Leader.
Is he rich? Does he earn a great lot as agent?
In OHMSS he just plays the cards privately at the beginning, helping Tracy out with 20.000 Francs just so. He obviously can afford living in expensive places even when he is not on the job.
Maybe I'm confusing something and don't think straight at the moment, so if anybody can bring light into that it would be great.

Not one from the films but in William Bond's Solo (2013) James Bond celebrates his 45th Birthday, which I thought was an original enough idea for the literary Bond as it had never been done before.
He is as lucky as Gladstone Gander. Or is he cheating?
I don't think bond was much of a cheater - seeing as he wasn't too impressed with Auric cheating at cards (or golf) in GF. Q was the cheater in DAF with his device - that would see him getting his legs broke by mobsters if the pit boss caught him in the casino in Las Vegas!
