In a very similar vein, in the briefing scene in TB, is 006 Trevelyan, his predecessor or his successor?
As others have pointed out, and I did enjoy @Birdleson response in the other thread, the answer is whatever you want it to be.
Continuity in the Bond films has always been very hit and miss. It certainly shouldn't take up too much of your time, trying to fill in the blanks.
If there is one, can someone tell me where to find it? Thanks a lot.
Marine Yacht??
Close it's Motor Yacht .
Bond then says I thought I had a hat when I come in. I understand he says it to break the ice and have a joke but where has his hat gone? did I miss something and am I not really getting it?
Of course, but it was just a purely speculative question. Just like why does Blofeld love his cat so much or where did he get his scar? (The last question might be answered for the new continuity in SP, according to the pictures of Waltz shooting in London).
I hate to break it to you, but Tilly died in the novel (although a bit later than in the movie, but in the same way). But you can add Shady Tree to the list. He's the only named member of the Spangled Mob that didn't die in the novel.
"In the scene at Moneypenny's office, Bond's hat disappears."
"It does, but there's a meeting Bond attends in the meantime. He even addresses the fact that his hat disappears, moving towards the hat rack saying "I had a hat when I came in", then looking confused when it's not there. This is the culmination of a running gag concerning Bond's hat that was developed through all four of the first Bond movies: In Dr. No, he tosses the hat onto the rack as if he was playing a game of horseshoes. In From Russia With Love, he does the same thing-and then sees M is in the office with Moneypenny and is Not Amused. In Goldfinger, it's Moneypenny who tosses the hat, while trying to convince Bond to go out with her that evening. Finally, in Thunderball, James starts to toss the hat, then thinks better of it and just puts it on the rack-and then it's gone when he comes back. What's more, with just one or two possible exceptions, this marks the last time Bond wears a hat as a fashion statement in the entire Bond series. Effectively, the producers recognized that they couldn't keep figuring out new things to do with the hat, and intentionally took it out of the picture - literally, so they didn't have to keep trying."
@Birdleson I love that moment when Bond tosses the hat to Moneypenny, it would have been brilliant if Connery could've done that, taking nothing away from George because I like Lazenby and I think he done a wonderful job but I always think what would OHMSS be like if it was filmed after Goldfinger with Connery as intended, it probably would've been Terrance Young directing and Peter Hunt editing and might've ended up completely different and inferior but it could've been great too, we'll never know.
Well done. OP was the first Bond I saw in the theater. It's the perfect one for a 13-year-old.
Holy crap! That post was ages ago.
Definitely Roger Moore. He's always at the right place at the right time.
He survives being shot falling to his certain death, drowning.
He gets his nuts crashed and minutes later can shag his lady as nothing had happened.
He has the most ridiculous imbeciles as villains.
He fails repeatedly as an 00 agent and keeps his job.
He can go rogue, he can just vanish, he walks back into the office and doesn't get sacked or court martial.
I believe the unluckiest Bond is the iteration that lost Tracy - back in 1969 she was unbelievably beautiful. I'd go so far as to say, perfect! Losing her on the beginning of the honeymoon is going to top any bad luck list. (I don't feel Bond's connection with Vesper was actually in the same league.
Pretty sure it is.
No, as Bond and Domino are being rescued by the boat, the credits go through and then it fades to black very fast.
