    In the 1999 compilation The Best of Bond ...James Bond, both the back cover and the booklet list GoldenEye as being 4:46 long, but it's actually 3:30. This is the version I own, released in Europe and South America:

    R-1079891-1382453834-2697.jpeg.jpg

    Does anyone else own this album and if so, how long is that GoldenEye track in your copy?

    There is also a US/Canada version with a different cover.

    R-3375044-1543338622-9055.jpeg.jpg

    I don't know if this other version actually includes the 4:46 version of GoldenEye, but I suppose it's posible. The back cover says so but it's no guarantee.

    @mattjoes , I also own that album (the European version ) and just checked. It is listed as 4.46, but is actually just 3.30 as you say.

    According to Wikipedia, Lea Seydoux’s full name is Léa Hélène Seydoux-Fornier de Clausonne.

    So, is there an actor in the Bond series who comes close to, or exceeds, her name in terms of length?

    Thanks for confirming, @Thunderfinger. For whatever reason I didn't notice this discrepancy until this week, despite owning the album for some twenty years. As far as I can tell it's not even mentioned on websites like Discogs. Perhaps they were planning on including the longer version of the song, but later decided upon the shorter version and the track list on the packaging was never changed.

    I guess it's not entirely just his name, but the Minister of Defence was played in Tomorrow Never Dies by Julian Alexander Kitchener-Fellowes, Baron Fellowes of West Stafford :) (Also known as The Right Honourable The Lord Fellowes of West Stafford)

    I've got a question, in 1971 they made a Bond film, Diamonds Are Forever, but there appears to have been a mistake where they forgot to make the film any good. Any explanation as to the discrepancy?

    Same here. Bought it when it came out, but never noticed that until you brought it up now. We should go back to the store and ask for a refund.

    Quite interesting that that cover uses both the 90s and 80s 007 logos.

    Hi all
    I've always wondered after watching CR, where did Bond learn to sail?
    Does anyone know?

    I'm tempted to say 'the sea' ;) but I guess he was in the Navy and I'm pretty sure that is part of the training: I've seen Naval cadets sailing down at Dartmouth.

    He probably learned during his time in the Navy.

    Watched Moonraker for the first time in a very long time yesterday. This may be more speculation than a normal question, but wouldn't Bond just have left Drax alone if he didn't instruct Chang to attack him?

    Heh! Possibly, although I guess he would have gone snooping for a safe regardless.

    I always think that if Carver hadn't had Bond beaten up in the recording studio in TND then Bond may not have been onto him quite so soon.
    It might be nice just for once for Bond to investigate a massive company and for it to turn out that it's not actually the CEO that's behind its evil-doing - after all just because Zorin Industries have done some bad things there's nothing to say that Mr Zorin himself actually knows about them: big companies work that way! :)

    My favourite example of this is Beverly Hills Cop, where Axel Foley doesn't suspect Victor Maitland at all until Maitland suddenly has his goons THROW FOLEY THROUGH A GODDAMNED WINDOW :)) :)) :))

    FYEO used that as a plot point, remember ?

    I don't think anyone who works for Columbo is involved, they just pretend to.

    Yeah, same.

    Probably because they kept shortchanging people on the lengths of the songs they sold.

    No Time to Die has a 45 day theatrical window, right? Is that 45 days for a regional release, so for the US October 8 or whatever, or 45 days from the world premiere?

    Are they still reproducing OST for old Bond movies in CD format?

    Is there still a chance for me to complete all James Bond movies OST?

    I already own OSTs from TWINE to Spectre (NTTD otw) ^_^

    Yes and yes. Look on Amazon.

    Just checked Amazon. Most Bond themes only have Used copies and some have New but so expensive copies.

    I should wait for the reproduced version to get the normal price of new copy, right?

    Is it made clear in YOLT that Kissy and Bond's marriage is fake?
