    When watching CR, I usually skip much of the Miami Airport scene. It's tedious, drawn out beyond necessity. For the first time in a long long time, I watched the scene all the way and, for some reason, picked up on the woman who munches it in the sprinkler scene. I spit up, from laughing so hard. It occurred to me that this was not intentional and that the fall and scream are real and Campbell kept it in. LMAO

    How can you be sure?

    Yeah, I doubt it's an accident. Why was the camera down there?

    And besides, big budget films don't have a hundred extras running down surfaces that are actually slippery. That would be expensive.

    Yeah, it doesn't look like an accident to me.

    Three films and I believe three different coloured frames. Though the FRWL and TB might be the same colour hard to tell.

    I think the FRWL one might be a (very) dark brown.

    Perhaps not, which leads to an even worse conclusion: that Campbell actually staged that fall, which added NOTHING at all to the scene. :-O

    I respectfully disagree, I think it adds to the scene well.
    The commotion and panic of evacuating the airport.
    It also gives Carlos a better chance of not being caught or recognised.
    Just my two cents.

    I agree with @Benny on this one. To me it adds to the whole danger and unpredictability they were going for in CR. People fall, life is messy. We don't know if Bond will survive. Yes it's just a fall but showing this represents a bigger theme within the picture.

    Can't be sure, but I think the same lamp can be seen in both YOLT and TMWTGG:

    Similar lamps can also be seen in DN, DAF and LALD:

    Notice something else about that last screenshot, from LALD? If you look at the wall behind M, you see that the ship painting we usually see in M's office now hangs on the wall in Bond's apartment! See the second screenshot in the first spoiler tag for comparison.

    As if that's not enough, Bond must have helped himself to more prints from the headquarters, as not only has he taken ownership of M's ship painting, but also M's other ship prints – first seen all the way back in DN:

    How/where did you source the map, @QBranch?

    I was quite pleased when I noticed it, haha! Still trying to find out if more stuff from Bond's LALD apartment appears in other films.

    Something silly I noticed last night:

    "Time to face destiny."
    "Time to face gravity."
    - Graves and Bond, DAD

    "It was gravity which pulled us down
    And destiny which broke us apart"
    - Bob Dylan, 'Idiot Wind'

    Dylan and Bond: 2 '60s icons barely mentioned in the same sentence. Now that could be a challenge for us here.

    And now for something completely different. I don't know if this is a "correct" thread for what I'm going to write, but unless there is already a thread about ships in Bond movies, it is probably as good as any other.

    For years I have heard the theory that the white passenger ship shown moored in the harbour of Port Royal, Jamaica, when Bond seeks out Quarrel for the first time, is SS "Yarmouth Castle", which sank after a disastrous fire in 1965, killing 90 people. There is even a Gordon Lightfoot song about this incident.



    I now decided to try to confirm this. I dropped my Dr. No Blu-ray into my computer and made a couple of snippings of the ship, which conveniently is only seen from its stern. Even snipped from Full-HD, the image was surprisingly small. I blew it up as well as I could using Photo Zoom 5 and my old Photoshop version. I still haven't managed to get a clear picture of the ship's name. However, one can see that it is a single word and not two words.

    Now this shouldn't be surprising since the "Yarmouth Castle" that sank was only rechristened from "Evangeline", its original name since 1927, in 1964. It gets a bit more complicated in that "Evangeline" had a more or less identical sister ship named "Yarmouth" (without the Castle) from the beginning, which was renamed several times in the fifties and was even called "Yarmouth Castle" as well for some time..

    As I understand it, both ships were owned by the shipping company F.L. Fraser (that's the "F" on the funnel of the vessel in Dr. No) but were sold in 1961. So the ship in the movie was possibly already laid up during the filming or at least had its final days in the livery shown.

    As for the name, I've come to the conclusion that the writing on the stern looks considerably more like eight letters (YARMOUTH) than ten (EVANGELINE), and the first and last letters give me the impression of being Y and ...TH. Perhaps someone with a 4K disc and/or system can improve on this.

    Anyway, I'm rather confident that the ship seen in Dr. No is actually NOT the ill-fated future "Yarmouth Castle" ("Evangeline" before 1964), but its sister ship "Yarmouth"...whose further fate seems to have been so much less exciting that I didn't really find anything about it.

    Update to the final sentence: She was simply scrapped in 1979. Nothing...sinister.

    A thought came to my mind. In CR Bond's first official mission with the 00 status - coincidentally the first mission Bond goes on in Fleming's books - basically began on a train journey with Vesper, where she sarcastically questions his motivations for joining and his abilities. Bond's exit from the 00 life starts on another train journey, with Madeline this time, where she heartfeltly questions his motivations for carrying on with such a life. The set of all this? Trains, running straight in one direction: the epitome of the lack of choice. Beautiful. Such small things that make me love the Craig era even more.

    Nice thought. But wasn't his first mission to find out what Mollaka was up to?

    Yes, I thought about that. Confronting face to face LeChiffre in CR is not actually his first mission, but let's say it's the main mission of the movie. Like confronting Blofeld in the desert, for the first time, again face to face.

    Well damn: this one escaped me all these years and repeated viewings of TMWTGG: the visible crew in the mirror that gets tilted, during the dressing room fight scene. How'd I miss that?

    Once you know it’s there you can never not notice it again! Can’t remember on which disc it is, maybe Dr No, but there’s a documentary on the restoration process and they talk about that scene there, and the debate they had over whether they should correct such mistakes as part of the restoration.

    Possibly been mentioned before but in YOLT after the carefully planned fake death of Bond, his obituary in the paper features his photo...
