    It's common for props to change position from one shot to the next, or disappear and reappear. Sometimes, they even switch from one design into another, like in TND's PTS. The sticky grenade planted on the missile carrier, and a handgun in the jet that Bond steals.

    In NSNA, when Bond and Lippe are fighting. Just before Bond throws his urine specimen, Lippe throws Bond into a large rack. As Bond goes to get up there is a plastic tube over his shoulder and arm, that disappears between shots.

    Casino Royale -

    When Bond has just had the fight in the stairwell with Obbano, when he returns to the poker game, his knuckles and bloodied and bruised. Its the small details that make the difference.

    Watching Temple of Doom recently, I can't help but think that Eon must have gotten hold of an advance script, even though Temple of Doom came out later. The India locations and especially the dining scene are just too spot on...

    How do you know Spielberg and Lucas didn't get a script of OP first?

    Bond wasn't creating trends in the '80s.

    I think it has more to do to the fact that when Hollywood goes to India, they end up in exactly the same places. (as, btw, does a lot of Bollywood). The amount of films shot in Udaipur is bewildering, as is the fact that nobody seems to think it's worth finding different locations in such a big country.

    Bear in mind the Fourth Protocol actually seems to lift Octopussy's plot! :)

    Does the Moonraker ground mission control team realize that successful completion of their job means their death? The poor crew left at the Aztec ruins now has nothing to do until wait for their necklace of death.

    Good point. They certainly didn't know about it, otherwise they wouldn't have cooperated. Or perhaps Drax had an antidote, for their use only; but that's some wild speculation.

    In that case he wouldn't hve to send all those young couples up to his station.....

    That's true, of course. But I guess a plot like that would be way too drab for someone like Drax.

    Something I notice every time I watch TSWLM:

    Naomi: "Oh, by the way, Mr Stromberg prefers not to shake hands. It's the third button."

    Bond: "Ah, yes - a hidden source of bacteria, those elevator buttons. I shall use my elbow."

    Very topical.

    I'm currently watching Diamonds Are Forever.

    In the pretitles, there is an unnamed doctor/plastic surgeon who speaks about Blofeld's transformation. I immediately recognized his voice as that of Draco from OHMSS. However, I was quite certain that Gabrielle Ferzetti did not appear in DAF.

    After some research, I realized that David De Keyser provided the voice of both Draco in OHMSS (dubbing Ferzetti) and the doctor in DAF. So it is indeed the same voice. I can't believe I didn't notice that before.

    Just had the exact same experience myself.

    I've got some vague memory of that @Birdleson . A distant, hazy memory of these two lovelies appearing together in a Godzilla movie.

    I need to see it again sometime.

    I can't believe it has taken me 27 years to notice this, and I also can't believe there isn't anyone else who would have had the same thought in the past 56 years, but when watching Thunderball a few days ago something hit me like a...well, I wanted to say brick, but perhaps thunderball is more appropriate in this case.

    Largo's henchman Janni, who speaks maybe two and a half times in the whole film is played by Michael Brennan, but his voice is dubbed by Michael Collins, yes, the voice of Goldfinger himself. It's really obvious when he says "Look! We must have hit him with the propeller!" after Bond's nightly snooping at the Disco Volante, and once you've heard it, it cannot be unheard, so to say.

    Maybe it's just me, but that line always sounded like he was Cockney, ".Must've 'it 'im wif the propeller."

    In Skyfall, Bond ends his evaluation abruptly when the psychologist mentions the word "Skyfall". In Spectre, Madeleine abruptly ends her meeting when Bond mentions the word "L'Americain". A callback I'd missed until yesterday.

    The straightening of the tie I thought was a Brosnan gimmick, but it's actually Fleming. In goldfinger, bond does so after killing the Mexican and putting his body in the shadows. "bond picked up the body and laid it against the wall in deeper shadow. He brushed his hands down his clothes, felt to see if his tie was straight and went on to his hotel".

    In the films, I think we first see it in FRWL, after the train fight? I seem to remember that Connery does it in TB as well. Moore does it, too. I doubt Brosnan has it from Fleming, but I could be wrong.

    I often get the impression, that Pierce took a little more from Fleming's work than we give him credit. I could be wrong, but...I rarely am. ;)
    Either way, it's a nice piece of trivia, with the tie straightening.

    I think we remember Brosnan's more because it happens after such big action sequence.

    It was Brosnan's idea to straighten his tie underwater.

    You might be right, haven't seen the films in years due to a lack of DVD player. The Brosnan one sprung to mind immediately when I read it.

    After the tank-one hit with the public. But indeed @Thunderfinger's probably right that he wasn't the first one on screen to do it.

    I believe to add to the list, Connery sort of straightens his tie when Quarrel and Puss-Feller confront him in DN or maybe just touches it as he plots his move. Close enough. He may also straighten it and his cuffs after the dive into the boxes escaping from Osato's men before being captured on the Kobe docks in YOLT.
