No way! That's so cool.
And another thing most people probably HAVE noticed, coming right after this: Largo crosses the street literally in front of a car that nearly runs him over. It's great characterization, though I sometimes wonder if it was really a near Dustin-Hoffman-Midnight-Cowboy sort of moment.
They are all over the place!
It starts with the CR PTS (where we see Bond's reflection at the sink) and it just continues through every film. Some other examples:
CR: trying on the tux, after the stairwell fight, during the poisoning scene
QoS: Rearview mirror of car chase, after the fight with Slate, opera house bathroom, rearview mirror when stopped by the police
SF: Turkey hut, Turkey bar, digging out the shrapnel, reflective images in the Shanghai fight, shaving in the Macau hotel room, unveiling the mirror at Skyfall
SP: Scene with Lucia, secret door at White's lodge, glass walls at the clinic, looking out the window of his room in Blofeld's lair, looking at Blofeld through the glass at MI6
Also: a lot of odd geometric patterns can be seen in all four films. For example: interlocking squares and shapes in the La Paz hotel room and elevator (the elevator fight is shot through those shapes); same sorts of patterns in the Macau hotel and casino scenes; also, eight-starred interlocking shape is in the window of the L'Americain hotel room (shadow of which is on the wall when Bond finds the secret room).
Nice catch.
Speaking of title sequences.
If you look at the artwork in Bond's apartment in Spectre, one of the prints that got a lot of attention was the odd-looking silhouette, leaning against the wall, to Bond's right, as he sits in his chair. The print might not be a woman--at least, not in the conventional sense. It is likely a still from the QoS title sequence: an abstract-looking sand dune.
I haven't had time to completely investigate, but I think this might be the case, around the time that the names of Andrew Noakes and David Pope come into view.
That title sequence is so good, Bond needed a still from it on his wall.
I'm surprised he wasn't dubbed. The Bond films have always had good dubbing.
He is...I think he used to be in the soap 'Brookside' IIRC,or something similar..
Ken Sharrock was his name. Sadly only 54 when he passed away.
I didn't know he had died though.
Watching the film the other day I couldn't believe how little 'Russian accent' he actually uses!
I'll be ready next time TLD is lined up. "I never told you to gerrup like"
Was that a Russian accent he was doing?
I always just assumed he had graduated from the Sean Connery school of 'I can't be arsed doing the accent just get the writers to come up with some bullshit link to Scotland' as he's pretty blatantly scouse.
