    6 i like a lot:

    Bond first introducing in Dr No.

    The shot of Bond let things behind him maintitle of QOS (Rainbow of light) who later be real scene in Skyfall (Rainbow of Fire). http://screenmusings.org/QuantumOfSolace/pages/QoS_0085.htm
    http://screenmusings.org/Skyfall/pages/skyfall-1668.htm

    Also in maintitle of CR you can see repeat of Alec/006 death. For me one of the first symbol of end Dench M. Before this there be a moment Cornell sings: Next in line after her name pop up. Her death be predict in QOS and Skyfall maintitle again. My favorite moment be emty chair in QOS when Bond returns.

    Skyfall/AVTAK/view of sea of Madagascar in CR and Bond jump with motor in QOS. In QOS on the back simalar bulding where in previous movie he stand on. http://screenmusings.org/CasinoRoyale/pages/Casino-Royale-0178.htm http://screenmusings.org/QuantumOfSolace/pages/QoS_0597.htm

    Opening of TMND and Boat chase in Twine


    2 other ones not to vergot:

    Fields, Bond and Mathis at the Airport in QOS. It remember me to Bond at the airport in FRWL.

    Opening of Baku in Twine, but that one is not realy filmed there..

    Whilst I detest both Jinx and Christmas, could you really describe them as dumb though? I can't really think of anything idiotic they do, unlike the others.
