Bondian tropes

edited October 2012 in Bond Movies Posts: 246
I'm wondering which recurring elements in Bond films could still be considered de riguer.

Gunbarell logo thing?
"The name's Bond, James Bond."?
Running around in black tie?
Ladies in silhouette during the credits?
The ordering of a certain alcoholic concoction with specific directions as to its preparation?

others?

Some that have already fallen by the wayside.., (but could return?)

Bi-play with Miss Moneypenny
Shopping in Q branch
The closing double-entendre

And one that hasn't seen the light of day since the late 70's (I could be wrong - let me know);

Casual and inconsequential sex initiated by Bond.

Thoughts?

    Fun idea! Okey lets see:

    - Villains often have elaborate weapons of mass destruction
    - Villains often have a right hand man who does the more physical intimidation job.
    - Bad guys never has ordinary names.

    - Plot centered around M ;)

    - Gunbarrel
    - PTS
    - Title sequence featuring girls/silhouettes and elements of general theme of the movie ie. TWINE=oil; CR=cards etc.
    - Train (fight) sequence
    - Bond orders a Martini
    - The line "The Name's Bond, James Bond" usually said to next girl to be bedded by Bond (although sometimes said to villain)
    - Bond gets it on with the villain's girl
    - Villain often has a private/secluded 'lair'
    - Q briefing scene
    - DB5
    - Near impossible stunts
    - Villains have physical traits ie. Le Chiffre's weeping tear duct.
