121. Daniel Craigs Bond runs like C3PO in Star Wars.
122. Vesper Lynd is actually rather annoying.Beyond looks its hard to beleive Bond falls in love with her.
123. Bond will not be grateful when you save him from getting his balls cut off.In fact he will shoot you in the leg for your trouble.
124. Bond will keep his gun and a few spare clips on him when he officialy retires and goes off on holiday to Venice with the love of his life.
125. When you bash Bond in the balls with a thick rope, he will think its absolutley hilarious.
128. Product placement within dialogue is agonising to watch Vesper Lynd: "Rolex? James Bond: "Omega". Vesper Lynd: "Beautiful".
132. And the Top Gear Team have just lost their world record.
133. Still, can't trust Bond with any vehicle. I'm sure he'll crash even a flight simulator, like Johnny Storm.
#127 was mentioned already almost exactly the same. So we're up to #133.
Again my apologies for the delay. QOS coming up tomorrow evening.
Nice one :))
Has always irritated me and it's such a movie trope how 'foreign' accents in films can belong to any nationality the story requires so long as the character doesn't sound English, American or Australian.
And Mads, though his English is exceedingly good, really does sound about as 'Albanian' as Kierkegaard...
135.) Kleinman saved his best effort for CR.
James Bond is back in record time in,
Things We've Learned from…..Quantum of Solace
1) In the hour between kidnapping Mr.White and the movie's opening Bond decided to stop at his hotel to change his suit.
2) Marc Forster decided that the most exciting way to craft an action scene is by not allowing the viewer to actually see the action.
3) The most effective way to save a high ranking member of your secret criminal organization is to rain machine gun fire upon the speeding car in which said high ranking member is currently in the trunk of.
4) Bond lost an alarming amount of muscle mass in the hour it took him to get to Sienna.
5) When arriving at his MI6 safe house Bond will ask Mr. White to get out his car with all the calm warmth of grandmother awakening her grandson.
6) The brains at MK12 decided that David Arnold's acclaimed technique of weaving the film's themes into the credit sequences was overrated and that naked women frollecking in the desert would suffice.
7) Bond embraces technicalities ("If they wanted his soul they should've made a deal with a priest")
8) The head of MI6 herself will jump on a plane at a moment's notice to personally be present at an interrogation.
9) In the day or so since the firefight in Venice Bond decided to ditch his uglier but far more useful Walther P99 for the better looking but far more impractical and dated Walther PPK.
10) You can drop from a roof and be abruptly stopped by a rope snagged on your leg and inexplicably not suffer severe injuries to said leg.
11) M buys her employees the worst Christmas presents.
12) M will pass her dead agent on the stairs and not have the wherewithal to realize that said agent is dead.
13) Apparently during Bond's stay in Italy MI6 headquarters was remodeled into a Mac store.
14) Bond will wear white pants to a situation where he is almost certain to have to fight and/or kill someone violently.
15) After nearly getting shot by Camille Bond will leave the car, stand there, and not assume that Camille will simply step out of the car and try again.
16) After surviving an attempted murder that your boyfriend arranged and paid for the best course of action is to go back to your boyfriend and nag him about it.
17) Bond henchmen were in short supply in 2008 so skinny dudes with bad toupees were forced to fill in the void.
18) During a boat chase Bond will dispatch of Greene's men with a maneuver I'm not sure that I or anyone who worked on this movie for that matter can understand.
19) When asked an extremely simple question Felix Leiter will pause for an uncomfortably long period of time, hand Elvis back his phone, and rather than give a Yes or No answer simply apologize.
20) Quantum is an organization so secret that their members will have their meeting in a sold out opera audience where their top secret plans are within earshot of dozens of people.
21) Fortunately the tuxedo Bond stole at the Opera house belonged to a man with Bond's exact build and measurements and subsequently fit him like a glove.
22) You can get an airline worker to risk her job and lie for you simply by flashing her a smile.
23) In the 6 months or so since Mathis' arrest Mathis was tried, exonerated, compensated with a Villa (didn't realize that's how things worked with Government employees), and moved in with his girlfriend. I guess the legal system works swiftly in England.
24) James Bond can consume enough alcohol to sedate a horse and yet still have enough wits about him to have a clear and concise conversation with Mathis.
25) It's a crime that the full version of the Bond/Mathis airplane scene has never been released.
26) MI6 with all it's resources decided to send one petite office worker to retrieve a highly skilled field agent who they believe might be on a mission of revenge and not care who he hurts or kills along the way.
27) Despite already knowing of Bond's powers of persuasion over the opposite sex, M will send the prettiest secretary she can find to bring Bond back. Because it's not like Bond used his charms to get a woman to do what he wanted and subsequently got her killed only one movie ago.
28) The reveal of Strawberry Fields' name was a missed opportunity.
29) Death is preferable over staying at a lousy hotel in Bond's eyes.
30) There is no easier way to get into a girl's pants than the steamy act of searching for a stationary together.
31) Felix's idea of cool is undoing his top 3 buttons like he's Fabio and sitting stretched out on a coach, not talking to anyone at the party.
32) Mathis' death hit me harder than the death of any other Bond ally in the series. Awesome character played by a great actor.
33) Bond's idea of a dignified burial is gently laying his fallen comrade in a dumpster and taking his money.
34) Despite Bond knowing full well that the pilot he rented his plane from would sell him out it never once crossed Bond's mind to use his 00 skills to knock him out or neutralize him in any way.
35) Bond is incapable of engaging in small talk with anyone without the subject of sex coming up.
36) Bond finds parachutes to be superfluous and annoying. In fact parachutes require Bond for safe landings.
37) Bond can tell if sink holes had been dynamited simply picking up a rock and looking at it for two seconds.
38) The head of MI6 herself will personally fly out at a moment's notice for something as simple as confronting an unruly employee. It's a wonder how administrative work ever gets done at MI6.
39) Three of M's bodyguards can't so much as last 10 seconds against a handcuffed man in a elevator. Those MI6 field exams just aren't what they used to be.
40) Bond can fool his MI6 perusers as easily as hopping over a hotel ledge, skipping a few feet, and hopping back. See above for further MI6 incompetence.
41) Eating peppers will counteract dirty water.
42) There's something about Bond hanging out in a dirty South American dive bar that just seems so wrong.
42) Ritzy Hotels are commonly opened up in the middle of the desert in Bolivia.
43) The gratuitous crotch shot in this movie would spur an alarming level of debate and discuss in late 2008.
44) Bond evidently became an expert on the emotional ramifications of killing despite the fact that he only started 6 months ago.
45) Hotels run on fuel cells are just fancy death traps.
46) Michael G. Wilson and Daniel Craig clearly couldn't think of a satisfying exchange of dialogue between Bond and Yosef despite the fact that the whole film had been building up to their confrontation.
47) 106 minutes is entirely too short for a Bond film of this magnitude.
Car chases are still very exiting!
52) Nobody asks any questions when you moore a boat, and hand a unconcious woman over to the local staff.
53) Bolivian fighter pilots flying jet trainers are incapable of shooting down a 70 y/o freight plane, even though it flys very slow en lumbersome.
54) Bolivian army/air force helicopters don't go and check if those two people falling out of that dakota are indeed dead.
56) When he fell down those stairs, Elvis sure did " Shake,Rattle and Roll". Especially Roll.
57) Tosca is not for everyone.
60. "I can't find the stationary. Could you help me find it" is a great code-word line to get a girl into bed
62. That empty chair can mean more then a empty chair.
63. That Daniel Craig Bond has some self spot
65) An opera will accelerate during a shoot-out.
66) Bad editing will make Bond looks as indestructible as Superman (the parachute jump).
68. M likes to travel a lot
69. in spit of the fact the door is WIDE OPEN henchmen still have worse aim then storm troopers
70. Old women carry cheeries up flights of stairs in wooden crates using pullies
71. 7 years later the use of Quantum of Solace as a title is still the boldest move the producers have made since Octopussy in 1983
72. I still can't believe I saw two Fleming titles in a row
73. Mr. White is still the best villain
74. Dominic Greene is not that bad a villian
75. Fields is hot an a complete waste.
:D
77. Bond will smirk when he impersonates an assassin and leaves his dead body in a hotel room for the staff to discover in horror and have to explain to the police.
78. Bond has no problem dumping an attractive womans unconscious body into the arms of a random stranger without knowing whether said stranger is a weird pervert or not.
79. Marc Forster has watched the Bourne movies too many times.
80. M really didnt like that attractive secretary with no field experience given that the chances of her completing her mission and coming back alive were about zero.
82. La Paz, the highest Capital in the world at almost 4 thousand meters in altitude, surrounded by mountains, looks more like a coastal town in Haiti. How could that be...?
85) Evidently Bond borrowed Gustav Graves' sleeping machine as evidenced by the fact that film takes two occasions to tell us Bond apparently doesn't sleep anymore.
