I think it was a simply a script error. Roald Dahl perhaps needed to have watched the earlier films more than he apparently had.
Or maybe Bond didn't want Tanaka to know he was been previously in Japan. At least that's how I see it.
But it wasn't Tanaka who asked Bond that question, it was Henderson.
I'd go with the Dahl theory. Plus it was Henderson, not Tanaka.
I'd always assumed he was just being polite about the martini. That would seem like an odd thing to indicate distrust, wouldn't it?
He did learn to trust no-one, at least in the events of CR.
@Wint, please avoid such pointless posts.
I mean, who really returned? Judi Dench as M, that's it. Robinson didn't come back, MP, Q, none of them did.
He was badly miscast as Q. One of the many things wrong with DAD.
Does anyone know the answer?
If i recall correctly, he had a contract to continue play Q in Bond 21 and Bond 22. But as we all know, the reboot came along and everyone made a concious decision to scrap all of the recurring characthers except M.
Does anyone know the answer?

I don't think I'm understanding the question well enough, @MrBond. Do you mean to ask "Why are the actors/actresses playing M always the only people credited in trailers, the title sequence and the posters?" If so, the actor playing Bond is also always credited. To answer the question though, M often has an important role in the films, and when you have people like Dame Judi cast in the film they have more than earned a credit on anything promoting the films.
Yeah, in the documentary Pierce said after Goldeneye everything was a blur. Not to say that's a bad thing, I think he was just commenting on how wild the ride can be when you are James Bond for years on end and are shouldering a franchise with a decades long legacy. That said, I'd wager that Goldeneye is his favorite, as it was no doubt nerve-inducing yet exciting at the same time, with such a stellar cast and crew on board for the ride.
In the past Brosnan has said he knew Tomorrow Never Dies "wasn't up to speed, it wasn't as good as GoldenEye."
I too think he sees GoldenEye as his best.
SF had the huge advantage of the 50's anniversary and the Olympic segment with Craig which created a lot of buzz.
But the main factor was the quality of the film, with the script, the acting, the music etc which created a great word of mouth. Something that may not have happened back in 2010.
I've never quite understood why Bond was worth more to him alive.
Is it because if Bond failed to report Mi6 would have known that he was likely killed by Goldfinger and therefore further spark their curiosity in him?
Seems pretty contrived to me.
I was in the midst of typing this up. But yes, it's because Bond knew about 'Operation: Glandslam,' and whether he was bluffing or not, he was worth more to Goldfinger alive.
It still doesn't make much sense to me.
Goldfinger doesn't make Bond fake a report to Mi6 saying that Goldfinger is clean. Instead he keeps Bond prisoner making it impossible for him to report, he may have well just killed him when he had the chance.
I still think the reason Goldfinger didn't kill Bond with the laser is yet to be explained. Either that or I'm being mega thick.
