    @Red-Snow-And the tarantula in DN would have given Bond nausea and diarrhea, not kill him. Interesting article, but popular movies, good or bad, are rigged with inaccuracies.

    James Bond Villain Placed Drill in Wrong Area, Neurosurgeon Says

    James Bond's villain in the latest 007 film, Spectre, could use a lesson in neuroanatomy, a Toronto neurosurgeon says.

    In a scene recorded in a Morroccan desert, Ernst Stavro Blofeld, played by Christoph Waltz, tortures Bond using restraints and a head clamp fused with a robotic drill. The goal is to inflict pain and erase 007's memory bank of faces.

    But Blofeld didn't have his brain anatomy down and could have likely killed Daniel Craig's character instead, Dr. Michael Cusimano of St. Michael's Hospital, says in a letter published in this week's issue of the journal Nature.

    Aiming to erase Bond's memory of faces, the villain correctly intends to drill into the lateral fusiform gyrus, an area of the brain responsible for recognizing faces, Cusimano said. But in practice, the drill was placed in the wrong area, aiming for the neck instead of the brain.

    "Whereas the drill should have been aimed just in front of 007's ear, it was directed below the mastoid process under and behind his left ear," Cusimano wrote.

    It likely would have triggered a stroke or massive hemorrhage, he said.

    In a draft of the letter, Cusimano said he was "spellbound" watching the film in a packed theatre, but his enjoyment was somewhat marred by the blunder.

    "I laughed," he recalled in an interview. "I think people around me kind of looked at me and were wondering why I was laughing because it's a pretty tense part of the movie."

    Cusimano,a professor of neurosurgery, education and public health, said he's seen all the Bond films and says he enjoys the music, locations and special effects.

    Cusimano added it's theoretically possible to impair facial recognition by targeting the lateral fusiform gyrus. He noted there are documented cases of injury, such as strokes, leading to brain conditions that cause "face blindness," or prosopagnosia.

    The neurosurgeon said he would happily offer his neurosurgery expertise to Hollywood filmmakers next time, and hopes people get a laugh out of the letter.

    No Bond didn't ..Blofeld did. AND THATS WHY IT DIDNT WORK ON BOND!!!! Doesn't really take a brain surgeon to figure that out.

    ...well maybe a decent brain surgeon.

    Exactly. Blofeld was just trying to scare Bond and playing with him. Making him forget Blofeld and Madeleine would have just been a way to ease the pain, whereas knowing that it would happen made it all very frightening.

    Our french friend of Commander JB France have recently realised a big dossier which regrouped (almost) every the infos about the shooting we can found in the net. So we can almost say, they have resumed the 860 pages of this topic in 7 pages. Unfortunatly, it is in french (need google translate). And they created a gallerie with 1300 photos of the movie a the end of their dossier. Lot of trivia :

    perhaps that boat can be used in Bond 25


    when was the last boat chase we had Quantum of Solace and that will be 9 years ago when Bond 25 is released

    I guess we can't really count Spectre as having a boat chase.

    Found an interesting article on the Aston DB10... Well, in this case, DB11... Looks very much like its predecessor.

    Since we've had a boat chase fairly recently, I'd rather us have something like a ski chase that hasn't been done in a while, or, even better, something completely unique and brand new.

    This is what I was expect for along time. That look very great With Daniel Craig with the white top Tuxedo with the new Aston Martin DB10. He did stand next to his Casino Royale Aston Martin DBS which you can see in my avatar. All I can say to both they are great.
