Self-referencing in the Bond Movies
Hi you guys,
I just registered here, because i'm interested in the Self-Quotations in Bond Movies.
I recognized a few, like the Aston Martin in Skyfall which was also used in Goldfinger, but maybe you can help me to get to know some more. :)
I'm really looking forward to hear from you guys.
Thanks a lot in advance. :)

Comments
Die Another Day and Skyfall were full of shout-outs to previous entries;
DN: The bar on the beach in SF and Halle Berry coming out from the water in DAD
FRWL: Klebb's shoe in Q's lab in DAD
GF: The Aston Martin, indeed
TB: Bond's jetpack in DAD and the deers in Skyfall's lodge
OHMSS: In DAD novelization, Colonel Sun-Moon says "we have all the time in the world"
DAF: DAD was a remake of this one
LALD: Bond walks on the Komodo dragon in SF just like he did on the crocodiles in LALD
TMWTGG: SF was heavily influenced by this one (the villain lives on an island and dares Bond in a shooting challenge, the woman who works for the villain asks Bond for help, but he fails to protect her)
FYEO: Bond says "for her eyes only"
LTK: Walther PPK in SF is coded to Bond's palm print
GE: Q mentions the explosive pen in SF
TWINE: SF's locations, M's close relationship with the villain and the attacks to MI6
CR: "Do not touch your ear" is said by Bond to Moneypenny in the casino in SF
Also;
in OHMSS there is a scene where Bond visits his office and you can see old gadgets he used in Dr. No, From Russia with Love and Thunderball (and the theme music from those movies are played in the background), and earlier in the movie you could hear a guy whistling Goldfinger's main theme
in TSWLM, Bond says "just as things were getting interesting", like Sylvia Trench had told him in Dr. No and From Russia with Love; also, in the movie novelization Anya once says "we have all the time in the world", whereas in the movie itself she mentions Bond's brief marriage
MR is a remake of TSWLM recycled in space
in FYEO's PTS, Bond is seen leaving some flowers on Tracy's grave; you can briefly hear Nobody Does it Better's melody as the code to Q's lab
in LTK Bond's marriage is also briefly mentioned
The TB scene was shot at the Chateau d'Anet. That deer is still there. But the SF deer is most definitely modeled after it.
"TB: Bond's jetpack in DAD and the deers in Skyfall's lodge..."
But one of my favorites are stil the CR Statue's vs Bond at the bar in Skyfall.
(The focus should not only be on Bond.)
