Things We've Learned from…..Spectre
Seeing as how my "You Know You're a Bond Fan when…" thread is surprisingly still going strong after two and a half years I thought I'd create a thread based on another popular IMDB trend. The "Things We've Learned From…" thread. Basically what we'll do is list accounts of our humorous perceptions, goofs, or just funny moments from each selected Bond film in a tongue and cheek way. Every 2 or 3 days I'll switch the movie. It should be fun. We'll start with Dr.No
1) James Bond is such a staunch believer in brand loyalty that he insists on using the very gun that jammed on him on his last assignment and resulted in him spending 6 months in a hospital.
2) Dr.No, an evil mastermind, fails to notice that Chan had inexplicably grown nearly half a foot when he put on his radiation suit.
3) While killing a tarantula, each strike is accompanied by a loud and intense orchestral beat.
4) Bond is such a man's man that he is able to assertively order around the very men who have kidnapped him.
5) "Underneath the Mango Tree" was apparently the equivalent of Ice Ice Baby in 1962 Jamaica. It was everywhere.

7) Location was key to a succesfull Bond film. The audience seeing this filmm for most was the first time seeing parts of the world in colour they had only heard of. And that is why Bond is so important.

6) There is seemingly no mandatory retirement age for golf caddies.

2) Golf scenes are cooler than watching the sport.
3) The Nazi dumped their gold at the bottom of lakes.

35. If the majority of the country's gangsters agree with you, kill them anyway.
36. What a laser is, as we now sit there using one ourselves to watch the DVD.
38) One instance of making whoopee with Bond was enough to convince Pussy Galore to throwaway her job, her trainee's jobs, and her future as a wealthy jungle woman.
42. Most people over thirty didn't like The Beatles.
1) It took Sean Connery 3 films before he finally decided to do the gunbarrel intro himself and even then it looked clumsy as hell.
2) A widow opening a door for herself is definitive proof that said widow is not only a man but the villainous Colonel thought to be dead who killed three of your fellow agents.
