In reality I think it was just a sudden twist meant for us, the audience.
We all know that but let's keep that between us.
But seriously, does anyone have any ideas?
I know that much. My question was how did Bond pay for the dress. If memory serves me correctly it's price tag was well into the thousands. I know Bond wanted to bed Kara but not that much. Haha
Expensed to MI6. I assume that M begrudgingly accepts that Bond likely spends tons, if he feels he has to, to accomplish missions. Telling Kara that Georgi will pay for it solidifies the cover that he's there on behalf of him, as @Gerard said.
Expensive food, however, I feel he probably pays for himself while on missions.
No kidding! The way I see it, what Bond spends during his missions falls into two categories; money spent to complete the mission (expensed to MI6), and money spent to satisfy Bond's personal desires (personal funds, which he doesn't mind spending essentially all of, because he feels as though he could die any day). Things like the 5 star hotel, with regards to what I've mentioned here, could sort of go either way.
Of course I could be totally wrong, and anything/everything on firm time is expensed to MI6 and the aforementioned heavily-burdened taxpayer.
I'm assuming it's all MI6, as 5 star hotels and four figure bottles of champagne are a tough nut to crack on a civil servant's salary.
Bond certainly does make the best of it. And it's not like being portrayed as wealthy was at all essential to his cover in TLD. He could've just as easily checked into a Days Motel and Kara would've never been the wiser. Especially considering how she's dumb enough to not question Bond's car firing rockets from its headlights.
Is it true all Bond actors (potential or otherwise) go through the same screen test, meeting Tatiana Romanova? Does this mean there's footage of Daniel Craig performing this scene out there somewhere?
I just read that it was banned in the USSR and you could even go to jail if you smuggled Bond movies in... (Source: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sponsored/rbth/culture/9648840/skyfall-review-james-bond-russia.html)
I think it might've actually been TMWTGG. I'm just going off of memory from what I heard in the dvd special features and even that was a while ago.
@DoubleOhhSeven: I think I've heard something similar, but if I remember correctly it was only shown in the Kremlin...? (Someone said something like that) But I really don't know
some time ago I had a question: I just wanted to inform you (because we didn't find a real answer) that I found it after a lot of research! :) Cubby saw the movies as entertainment and didn't want them to be too political... He also said: Greetings, Miranda :)
Thank you!
