    But the list in SF isn't the main plot point, it's just a Macguffin to set the main plot which is Silva getting his revenge on M - it's one part of the whole plot - not the driving force of the plot. Whereas in M:I it's central to Hunt finding out who Job is as he makes his better offer to Max.
    .

    Good point but the list was part of Silva's revenge to M and damage her reputation.

    Anyway Skyfall is also a great film and has a bitt more depth than MI and latter was more action than plot.
    Like i said both are very strong franchises just with the difference i used to think MI i was poor man's James Bond but I don't think so anymore.

    It is still very much a loose end. It was Bond's objective in the film. Bond didn't recover the list. Therefore he flat out failed.

    Yes Bond failed - which was great - a bit different.

    Lasco Atkins. He is seen in two James Bond movies (Casino Royale Spectre), Mission Impossible Rogue Nation, Batman Begins, Harry Potter 4, Sherlock Holmes 2, X-men First Class, Avatar, 24 Season 9 and Luther Season 3, Red 2, Man From Uncle and in Bourne movie (Jason Bourne) and Now You See Me 2.

    It look funy if wil be in Triple X 3, Kingsman 2 and Furious 8 too.

    Neve Gachev: Skyfall & Spectre, Kingsman, Jack Ryan Shadow Recruit, Red 2, Night at the Museum 3, Jason Bourne.

    Some simalar you also can see about Robert Elwis who working on Bond, two Mission Impossible movies, Bourne, Salt and Duplicity.

    Same location in Instandbul, Turkey in The International (2009), Taken 2 (2012) and Skyfall (2012). Shangai in Mission Impossible 3 (2006) and Skyfall (2012).

    There are some tracks from The Adjustment Bureau that newman re-use for Skyfall (and mabey also Spectre)

    Two things, however:

    1. Silva never needed to "steal" the hard drive. It was a ploy to get MI6 to fight back at their own level and not his. Remember: Silva can hack into ANYTHING from a single laptop on an isolated island. He doesn't need someone to physically steal it.

    2. And Bond has realized this. Silva had access to that hard drive all along. There is no point in retrieving lost data. That's like Paris Hilton trying to retrieve the original copy of her sex tape. It's pointless.

    Silva wasn't just trying to humiliate M, publicly. He was trying to show her that wars could now be fought on his terms and not hers. "Just point and click."

    What a brilliant film.

    So what is the actual record for most Bond canon actors appearing in the same film together?

    Didn't Bond technically get the list back when he MI6 retrived Silva's laptop?

    From what I can see to date, for films, I'm counting 4 each in Force 10 From Navarone & Triple Cross respectively. For tv series, I think Penny Dreadful wins it hands down, especially if you count Logan & Mendes' involvement in addition to Dalton, Green, Kinnear & McCrory.

    If we're including TV series then Game of Thrones has a HUGE number of Bond alumni.

    Young Indiana Jones contains at least these seven. But that series was episodic, with frequent guest stars, so it can easily be categorized differently:

    Jeffrey Wright
    Christopher Lee
    Daniel Craig
    Jeroen Krabbe
    Max Von Sydow
    Isaach deBankole
    Michael Kitchen

    But the thing is, we aren't told clearly enough. Therefore it is a loose end.

    The Longest Day certainly contains a lot of Bond alumni : Sean Connery, of course, but also Curt Jurgens and Gert Fröbe.

    Then we get Operation Kid Brother : Lois Maxwell, Bernard Lee, Daniela Bianchi, Adolfo Celli, and Anthony Dawson.

    "Bons Baisers de Hong Kong" features also Bernard Lee and Lois Maxwell, but also Clifton James.

    Oh I can't think of the director or the film but it had an extended car chase somewhere in Europe and featured several ex Bond bad guys. Robert Deniro was the main lead good guy.

    Help me!!! Can't remember!!~

    @mcdonbb, that was Ronin. It's been mentioned here already.

    Yes, Ronin has Sean Bean, Jonathan Pryce and Michael Lonsdale in it. And Natascha McElone who I think would have made a good Bond girl. Julia Stiles would too I think (Nicky in the Bourne films).
