    Don't both GF and LTK feature fictitious South American countries?

    I know only LALD and LTK have fictional locations as the villains home base. San Monique and Ithmus.

    LTK & TB feature underwater 'harpoon' scenes. In fact, Domino on Largo's boat (post-torture) reminds me very much of Lupe on Krest's boat. Both 'kept women' who have suffered at the hands of their jealous boyfriends.

    I believe the motorized yellow submersibles used by the baddies in the underwater scenes in LTK are the same as the ones chasing Bond's lotus underwater in TSWLM

    AVTAK and TLD, title songs by 80's music bands.

    Highlights in Bond music.

    .

    No, the GF pts doesn t state where it is, but anyone who read the book knows it s Mexico. So GF-SP is more accurate, but we don t really know if we just go by the film.

    I'm pretty sure the "Wedding Party" song in LTK was intended to remind fans of "Jamaica Jump Up" in DN, so that should be included on the connection list.

    What about Burt Kwouk's appearances in the series?

    Well these are film similarities anyway. I don't get the GF SP connect though..

    Signed,
    Easily confused.

    TMWTGG was recently on TV. In it, Bond jumps in the car at a dealership to chase Scaramanga...Sheriff J.W. Pepper's already in the car, tells Bond, "How's about my demonstration, boy?" And Bond says, "Certainly sir!" Sounded familiar... Bond says the same thing in Casino Royale at the Ocean Club when the German tourist goes, "Hallo--are you going to take zis or make me wait?" and flings him his keys.

    In both LALD and AVTAK, Roger Moore's first and last Bond films. Bond is found in an underground location lowered on a small platform.

    LALD

    AVTAK

    Hope that one hasn't been mentioned before. Just came to me earlier. :D

    TMWTGG and SF are the only films where Bond actually says '007' (Bond to Hai Fat and Bond to M)

    Goldfinger...and Thunderball off the top of my head are included as well.

    GF - "Discipline OO7...discipline."
    TB - "Sorry Felix, but you were about to say OO7."

    Does anyone else get chills whenever Bond refers to himself by his number?

    Both Koskov and Columbo said the line "once we were like brothers".

    I don't know if that counts as a connection but there you have it.

    'Careful what you wish for' appears in both QoS and Skyfall.

    Blofeld in DAF says "Science was never my strong suit."

    Scaramanga says "Science was never my strong point."

    Slightly different, but close enough.

    I'm sure there must be a million connections between Spectre and other Bond films :P

    "I'm not much of a sporting man."

    Bond's line (or very similar) in both OHMSS and MR.

    Martin Campbell also has a cameo in CR as the deceased fuel tanker driver.

    I've never been 100% sure about which cyclist Campbell played in GE, and if that was actually him playing the truck driver who gets his neck snapped in CR. Googled the former and noticed he's front and center when we get our first look at them during the car chase.

    In both Tim films the Bond girls say: "but what about us?"
