Whoa. I never realized that this was how they filmed that scene.
He has a pained expression on his face in diamonds are forever when moneypenny asks for a diamond in a ring from Amsterdam for a brief moment
In AVTAK James Bond's mission takes him to the USA, the UK, France and the USSR.
I never noticed that before.
Good catch and cool trivia.
I still find that a little far-fetched, and see no real reason why that should have been intended, sorry.
Thanks, Thundy :)
I never said there was a link between the two. It just struck me as an interesting little coincidence.
I always thought it was cruel of Moneypenny to ask such a thing after the man's wife died just 2 years before. I get the relationship between them was flirty. Just didn't ring true to me.
:)
I think Moneypenny was jumping up and down dancing about the office when she found out Tracy had been murdered.
I think she let Irma Bunt hide in her flat.
No wonder Irma Bunt got away with it!
hmm, @matt_u -- I never thought of that before, but, whatever we think of the writers, they are asked by EoN to take a deep dive into the Fleming novels. I would bet that the rat reference in SF was not by accident.
Don't go in there Bond!
Well, yes, quite likely. Reading YOLT I found out another possible one: in SP Bond makes a joke that becoming a priest would’ve been his only possible second option. In the book Tiger explains that the Japanese won’t call him “Bond-san” (as we know Tanaka went with Bondo-san) because the sound was too similar to the word “bonsan”, that in Japanese means... priest.
As TB is one of my favorites and I've watched the precredits countless times, for the first time I noticed as the limo is taking the widow to the villa there are small patches of snow on the ground. A real contrast to the sun and surf of the Bahamas and a foreshadowing of OHMSS, which was to come up. Okay, not so much the latter, just always fun to spot something different you hadn't before.
Never noticed the San Monique police in the background as Bond and Rosie arrive to board Quarrel juniors boat in LALD.
Good catch on the police. I really had to look to find them, distracted by that tourist's plaid shorts.
In fact, I think I've mentioned this before, but I actually read the acronyms as what they sound like: AVTAK to me is Av (like avenue) - tack. It's weird. I don't like it and want it to stop.
Gotta love brothers who show off their tech! LOL! Nice catch with the snow, I have never caught that. While I am not sure about the foreshadowing I do agree it provides a nice contrast to the film to come. In fact when I think about it the first half of the movie is somewhat devoid of colour. The Bahamas seems more colourful because of this!
I basically say out the full names of all the films, with the exception of, what I sometimes call, “OhMaj”. And “Casino” sometimes I think.
The thought had occurred to me. Have you also noticed that YOLT rhymes with colt or volt? And DAF is probably product placement for a former Dutch carmaker? And TWINE for strings or cords? (Don't take it personally. Just kidding.)
