It even passed my mind that he was actually the stunt double who had to grow a moustache because he looked too much like Connery, but nope: It's Connery all right, impersonating Kraftwerk on "The Robots" music video.
I think @Birdeson's assumption is correct: Looks completely delibarate.
Thanks for your reply. I have done some further research on the topic on some scientific sites, and it turns out that it is indeed possible to render gold radioactive, but due to the structure of the substance, the induced radioactivity will invariably be lost within a few weeks at most. So Maibaum/Dehn got it wrong. Fort Knox itself would be another matter, but that was not the purpose of the plan.

Surely stepping on Bonds fingers would have a deadly effect.

Because Daniel Craig's Bond tenure would be even shorter that Lazenby's !!
:))
As most (if not all) of us know, originally Skyfall was to be written by Wade and Purvis just as the previous four films had been. Sam Mendes then brought in frequent collaborator John Logan to help tighten the script. According to the Skyfall dvd commentary the original 3rd act to Skyfall was completely different before Logan stepped in. No Scotland, no family home, etc. Does anyone know anything about the Purvis and Wade 3rd act of Skyfall?
Similarly the original draft of License Revoked was set to have Bond battling a drug lord in Asia rather than Central America. Does anyone, by chance, have any more details not this? That's all I've ever gotten on the original plans for License Revoked.
Good question. I'd also like to know any more details on this, although I fear they are scarce. My memory is getting worse by the day, but what little is left recalls the original ending was particularly low-key. Hence the alternative fire-powered ending. Despite Logan adding the end, it's known that it was Wade who added the name 'Skyfall', whether they wrote end, I've no idea. I think it's quite obvious it's an afterthought when you watch movie, there being no reference other than in the tests.
Because we wouldn't get to see an intense crane to crane jump and ensuing chase of thrilling proportions, that's why! Don't ask stupid questions, @Benny. It's so unbecoming. ;)
Good point. I'll revise my original question:
TMWTGG. Why? ;-)
Because we wouldn't get to see their deadly face-off throughout Scaramanga's house of fun, that's why! Have you no sense of drama, Willy? ;)
For example :
Why can't Bond get access to Willard Whyte via Felix and the CIA? Felix comments the President I can get you to see, but not a billionaire who may or may not be bad.
Why do Wint and Kidd place Bond in the pipe, rather than just kill him? And why do the construction men not notice Bond in the pipe before they bury it?
Also how much pipeline do these men lay in a day? It's hard to imagine it being any longer than you could easily find an entry/exit hatch.
Knowing Blofeld is on an oil rig off the coast of Baja, why does Bond have to try and switch the tapes? They know where he is, why not just destroy the rig and Blofeld too?
Why does Tiffany not get captured and questioned sooner as she aids Bond in switching the tapes. The guards are stood next to Bond, hauling him away when they discuss putting the real one (tape) back. Surely they would alert Blofeld to this. After all, if in doubt. Ask.
There's to many questions regarding many of the sequences in DAF that really make it a poor entry for me.
How can you not love Mankiewicz (sarcasm alert)? The guy that made Bond THE SECRET AGENT a regular celebrity that everyone and their dog seemed to know as a 00 agent for the British government. God I hate that about some of those Moore films he scripted...
m confused because felix is meant to be the same person in every movie so if he died in licence to kill and casino royale is a reboot but quantum of solace isnt how is he alive . I totally disagree with the code name therory but im stuck on this one .please help me
