    Sorry if this has been mentioned before, but I never realized previously that the back of Solitaire's famous Tarot card deck in LALD has '007' written all over it.

    When the Plane and Bonds motorcycle fly off the cliff in Goldeneye, digital snow kicks up into the air. It's those fake looking mid 90's effects, looks like something from snowboard kids.

    Oops...I'm not trying to show off, really, but that was one thing I noticed the first time I saw that movie in early 1974 (when I was 17), and it was one of the things that bothered me about it right away, along with the other supernatural/voodoo stuff which I think does not belong in a Bond movie as a rule. I still went on to see it three times at a theatre, the only James Bond film to be able to claim that, uhm, honour. And I still think it's a fun film and one of the better Roger Moore movies.

    Thankfully it took me many watches to see that connection,otherwise i would have thought LALD would descend into another DAF,which thankfully it didnt .

    Someone brought up in a separate thread that the sword kick of Brosnan's in DAD was improvised - very cool, never knew that. On top of that, I looked up a clip of the fight to see it again, and never noticed Graves shouting "Excuse me, sir" (or something to that effect) at one of the older guests that gets in his way, just before Graves violently shoves him out of the way. That's rich.

    The problem is that DAD for me is the least likely to get a "next viewing" soon...

    I can see that...with the right amount of alcohol, but only then. Other than that, it's restricted for a completist approach to revisiting the series.

    Aside form Madonna and some of the corny dialogue, I find it pretty great until we get to the invisible car, the CGI laser and the parasailing.

    I'm usually pissed by that stage thank God.

    HAHAH! Surely it has to be possible to make a drinking game from watching DAD. A shot for every joke made, or something.

    "So, what sharp little eyes you've got!".

    I'm humiliated to confess that I've honestly never noticed that before. It's especially embarrassing given the number of times I've seen this film.

    Was this really so obvious to others as well?

    UK, November 2 - The British government has just released the statistics for Die Another Day-related accidents in the UK in 2016. Last year there were a total of 197 such incidents, a dramatic increase from 116 in 2015. Safety experts believe the rise is related to a greater amount of showings of the film on television, due to the extremely low price of its TV broadcasting licence. This newspaper talked to Helen Robinson, 53, of West Drayton, London. On October the 22nd, she was preparing dinner in the kitchen while Die Another Day came on TV. "It was pretty good for a while, except for Madonna," she stated, "but then came that surfing scene. It was so stupid I was utterly gobsmacked for a while, and I nearly cut my finger off with the knife." A total of 89 Die Another Day-related kitchen injuries have been reported, along with 43 electrocutions, 59 trips and falls and 6 suicide attempts. Safety experts are clamoring for the film to be banned, and for an international search warrant to be issued for one Lee Tamahori, 67, from Wellington, New Zealand, who directed the film. "What he did with Die Another Day was criminal," they declared in a joint statement released today. More on this story as it develops.

    You're probably right, haha! In comparison - watching the last two films, you would probably only get tipsy, at best!

    Speaking of DAD, when Jinx connects her phone to the stick of dynamite, you can see the stick is labelled 'RDX'. As she picks it up and places it in Dr. Alvarez' filing cabinet drawer, it changes to the 'C4' labelled stick which Bond uses to blow up the briefcase of diamonds in the PTS.

    Something I noticed the very first time I saw Casino Royale in theaters, but I wonder how many others have...

    What's the last floor number we see as Bond rides the elevator up to Dryden's?

    That's right: 6.

    For the debut of the 6th James Bond.

    I think it says C4 on one side and RDX on the other.

    Also Greene is unhinged at the end of QoS.

    I thought about that too, it's possible. Seems a different length though. Either way, it's still a continuity error.

    True facts. I myself had a DAD-related kitchen injury earlier this year when I was watching it for the community Bondathon. I burned my hand and had to sit holding an ice cube for the entire movie.

    It's little nods like this that really 'elevate' the film.

    GF: When Felix points out the Miami chief of police ('Mr. Simmons') to Bond, we see him sitting at the gin rummy table shuffling a blue deck of cards. He switches seats with Goldfinger so the latter can get his 'suntan', and upon sitting down, continues to shuffle the deck, which has changed from blue to red. One could argue that he changes decks when the shot briefly cuts to Bond and Felix, but all the decks on the table are red.
