He was dressed as the tea lady at first. It's an easy mistake to make. ;)
I went back and watched and the door was shut the whole time. You can only see Jaws's leg during the fight
In hindsight I would have finished off Jaws in the PTS and moved on from the character.
But there's one thing you should really know about Mr. Jaws. This,
is not him.
Obviously, as Bond thwarts the ressurection of Stromberg's empire, Jaws ends up without an assignment (again), until Drax's HR department calls him to see if he's interested to take Chang's place. He's made a bit of a name for himself in the underworld, and isn't too hard to track.
Great shout
Lets stay in the 70's. Lets dive into DAF again.
Bond uses the voice changer to have a phone discussion with Blofeld and finds out where Whyte is being kept. Blofeld further instructs "Saxby" to kill Whyte and to make it clean. Bond does get to Whyte and manages to free him, but who should show up but Bert Saxby.
How did the real Saxby know to kill Whyte?
Did Blofeld call Saxby back to provide further details? Did Saxby get reamed out before heading out to the do the deed? Wouldn't Blofeld realize something wasn't right and send more than 1 man to do the deed?
As Fiona says in TB, questions questions questions!
What is your theory in how Saxby heads out to off Mr. Whyte?
To be honest, I suspect there'd have been a slightly better action scene in Saxby and perhaps some SPECTRE men ambushing bond rather than Bond battling Bambi and Thumper (charming as they are). As for why Saxby decides to show up on his own, perhaps he presumed that Bond would be alone and not expecting a counterattack?

What's your theory of the escape of Silva from Mi6?
As M would say this is the "big one". The infamous escape of Silva which happens to occur when M is testifying before a parliamentary committee. An escape that involves hacking into a secure government network. An escape that happens to know train schedules and when Bond will be holding him at gun point. An escape that...well you get the idea.
Any takers, on the theory or theories that will explain Silva's escape from Mi6?
Have fun, get creative and lets hear the theory of Silva's infamous escape from Mi6!
It didn't strictly depend on the exact we saw him take. At all. He just made it look easy falling in on what he had already made available. And Bond following him was likely an expected bonus to relish.
Yeah, that's how I saw it: he had a plan with a number of variants due to contingencies. Also he was good at improvising on the spot.
But yeah, Logan tends to use contrivance a lot. Things just suddenly turn up in some way because the plot needs to happen. Silva has quasi godly, diabolus ex machina strategic skills.
Maybe he had help within the London Transit system? Flimsy as it is.
I do like the theory that he had a few options ready for the escape. That might fit his character a bit.
Aye, it's the power of the omnipotent villain. All-seeing, all-knowing with a finger in every hot pie, the only way through is to break them psychologically.
However, once one applies any thought to such villains they become weaker and more ridiculous.
Skyfall's true fault is it tailors other, established characters to this fallacy. It inevitably leads to an increase of incoherence. Still not a terrible film but nothing major, either.
