    In FRWL, it is revealed that Spectre "recruited" Grant in Tangier. I never would have thought anything of this, until now, with SP. The secret room at L'Americain seemed to be used for both interrogation and recruitment.

    Very good catch.

    Now if only they'd had the foresight to call Mr White's character Morzeny!

    I know this has probably been posted before, but in the AVTAK PTS when the guy goes over the cliff, he shouts, in Russian, "Help, Roger Moore! Help!"

    He actually shouts 'bozha moi' which translates as 'my god'.

    So Roger Moore is his god. Freedom of religion.

    I heard Sean Connery has a house around here somewhere as well.

    A little thing I noticed in Spectre Max Denbigh when making his speech about 9 eyes,
    Says " Day-ta" instead of "Dah-Ta" , which if he'd been to school with the minister, I
    Think he would have, but it's a tiny little insignificant point.

    Not sure if this has been mentioned, but I'm currently watching TLD. There's a bit when Bond cuts the ice with the wheel rims of the Aston - going round in a circle. The Russians fall through the ice.

    I think this may have been deliberately homaged in SF when Bond shoots the ice with Silva's goon's gun to escape.

    It's a stretch I know, but it just came to mind.

    Does everything have to be a homage these days? Although actually if it's in the Mendes era it probably is.

    Just found another one in TLD similar to SF.

    When Kamran Shah is fighting off the Russians in Afghanistan, he uses a shovel loader to ram through some buildings etc. During one scene, he avoids being shot by raising the shovel at the front.

    This reminded me of the pretitles of SF where Bond does the same to avoid being killed by Patrice's fire on top of the train.

    There are so many scenes in SF that are small winks to a previous Bond film. I think it was intentional, being the 50th anniversary film and all.

    That is good.

    Very good indeed.
    And about the only reason to rewatch Skyfall.

    I never noticed before, and you guys probably have, but anyway:

    In MR and TSWLM the same 'extra' can be seen looking confused at his wine bottle when he sees Bond either driving from the water with his car or with his gondola.

    :-)

    Yes and he appeared two additional times.
    It was a running gag, I think it was one of the production crew. He was in FYEO as well in the restaurant in the Italian Alps

    Isn't Tom So (Fukutu from CR) also someone who crops up in all of Craig's films?

    great performances :)

    Tom So appears as Fukutu in CR. His brother Clem So appears as an extra at the Floating Dragon Casino in SF, and as a Spectre affiliate standing next to Bond overlooking the meeting in SP.

    I'm sure this has been mentioned before, but the stolen Modigliani painting (Lady with a Fan I think it's called) that appears in SF, reappears in SP in Madeleine's room at Blofeld's layer.

    Maybe that was a nod to the scene in Dr No where Bond spots the recently stolen portrait of the Duke of Wellington in Crab Key?

    Did you ever realise that the driver who picks up Bond at the airport in Dr No is the spitting image of Ben Whishaw? I like little touches like that.

    @Mendes4Lyfe, the one who kills himself with the cyanide cigarette? I don't think they look similar at all, and I wouldn't consider that a "touch" since it's obviously something that wasn't planned at all.

    okay, but you have to admit it's quite a coincidence.

    No, I don't. Because it isn't a coincidence. At all. Unless, of course, a random character in a 1960's Bond movie that doesn't really look like the Q of the 21st century at all is considered one, for some reason.
