The only way it would work if Graves was already an established businessman and the Korean guy killed Graves and assumed his identity
It's all about water displacement to stay afloat so are there two main separated hulls running down each side of the main hull like a twin hull catamaran? Building such a thing would have been quite difficult to hide so how come key intelligence agencies had their heads up their backsides on this issue and never saw it coming - only to have an airfix model give Stromberg's game away to Bond and Agent XXX!?
Artistic licence, take with a big pinch of salt and suspend disbelief? Still love TSWLM and never tire of watching it - my first cinema Bond outing
Ballast tanks on each side. Water entering is also being pumped back through.
Yes, that is another matter that sticks out like a sore thumb in Die Another Day.
Question. Is the bullet in Die Another Day's gun barrel meant to be going inside the barrel? :P
Opinion is divided. My view is, yes it is. The best shot in the world couldn't manage such a precision shot by design and the notion of the bullet actually going down the barrel pays no lip service to the concept of the vignette. The bullet is supposed to hit the P.O.V. first person in the forehead with blood running from the wound with the first person falling to the floor.
The fact that this effect has not been done again speaks for itself.
The rescue dog was a member of Spectre. Distracted Bond with brandy so Blofeld could escape...
edit: Also another question, what's the deal with Bond typing his password in CR ? He obviously doesn't pick Vesper..was it that hard for them to reshoot someone pressing the numbers ?
lol, I wonder how they could have patched this up.
@Dragonsky re: vesper password. Yes a sloppy and rather strange error.
I have read from others that indeed, it does.
Where is Felix Leiter during a 6 film absence (after Live and Let Die)? Why is he in only one of Sir Roger Moore's 007 films?
When Bond rides the plane in Austria..
1- Where the hell did he found the plane from?!??
2- When the plane crashes....where the hell did Hinx went ? He is shown barely moving at the end of the scene to show us that he's alive...but how did he end in the snow ? And why didn't Bond just kill him if he was laying around unconsciously ? You saw the guy pop someone's eyes out and you let him lay ? come on..
1. The plane was the one Bond flew in on. It's seen in the establishing shot.
2. I suppose it's just "not cricket" for a hero to shoot someone dead while they're unconscious.
Silva is of Brazilian descent Born Tiago Rodriguez. he was brought up briefly by his Grandmother on a small island. We are to a assume by M's later comments "Orphans always did make the best agents" that after her death he like Bond was an Orphan who ended up being recruited, and why Silva likes to call her Mommy. Recruitment of foreign nationals is key as you need people who can fit in, in the country they are operating in.
We know M agreed to hand over Silva during the transfer of Hong Kong to China 1 July 1997 and had worked with M in Honk Kong since 1986. We are to assume that this is first station with MI6 as she recruited him and this is her only mention of working with him. So it is impossible to say what age he is but I would expect he was still quite young when he was recruited. I would guess he was in his early 50's
For example say he was 25 in 1986. Skyfall events I believe take place in 2011/2012 Around 26 years after he joined MI6. He was handed over to the Chinese in 1997 which means 15 years to be held in prison, it's not explain if he escaped or was freed.
ONLY READ IF YOU HAVE SEEN SPECTRE
From Butterwoth, Logan, Purvis or Wade my dear :))
But production would say the Blofeld was his Grandmother maiden name. And the Ernst taken from Ernst Mayr a world leading 19th century Biologist.
Long time since I watched it but wouldn't the weight of the chain be enough to prevent her?
The original question has been asked before. It might be difficult to climb back up the chain with it wrapped around you, but it's fairly nonsensical that she doesn't even try.
