    I guess the backgammon game is cool.
    And Octopussy and Magda are cool.

    Ah @mtm before I left we were brothers here, agreed on everything. I have your art hanging on my wall. Now I return and we're enemies. How times have changed! ;)

    In the film, that case of money would've been long gone. I doubt White would've taken it back to his house.

    In the QOS game, you search for the briefcase in White's estate, but it's not there. It is never found.

    Yeah I always assumed a decent chunk of time (maybe a day) had passed between Bond getting White's number in Venice and him catching up with him at his estate. The money was long gone.

    I don't know. I always thought he was trusted to keep it close to him until he leaves the country to get it somewhere safe. But then again I thought he was holding the suitcase when he got shot on the leg.

    If you look carefully Mr White does still seem to have some of the money- he appears to have hidden a couple of wads of cash by tying them to his knees ;)

    I have a hunch those are knee pads as he would soon be hitting the ground and crawling.

    Nah, it must be the money.

    I’ve always clearly assumed this to be the money strapped to Mr. White’s kneecaps from my very first viewing. What’s all this business about it just being the actor’s kneepads or something? They have stunt doubles for that, people! It’s the money strapped to his knees.

    Controversial opinion:

    I think Jesper did that fall himself. I don't believe that was a stunt double. Unless we can uncover a deleted scene where Mr White straps the money to his knees, I'm content with the belief those are poorly hidden knee pads to cushion Jesper's fall.
    To me those pads look as obvious as that back pad Bond's mulleted opponent wears during the Barrelhead Bar sequence.
    However for the sake of the character I like the idea of Mr. White hiding the money in his trousers.

    If you look closely during the opera and chess scenes in QOS and SP you can still see the money strapped to his knees. He doesn’t fall in either of those scenes, does he?

    The question is why that guy in the Barrelhead Bar had a load of cash tied to his back. Some kind of drug runner? There’s a whole story we’ve missed out on.

    I admire his preparation, all the same. You never know when you're going to take a tumble.

    LOL! You beat me to it. I was going to say something similar. That was Krest's back up stash of money the Mullet Man was wearing. The plan was to plant it on Bouvier at the Barrelhead Bar, make it seem as though she stole the money, then feel her to the sharks a'la Felix and come off as heroes when Sanchez later inquires about the money.
    Krest has people everywhere.

    It is both. It s money, but it also works as kneepads. Good thing it wasn t coins.

    I'm going back on my kneepad theory now. It's not holding up.

    Maybe Mr. White had his knees replaced by the same factory that manufactured Jaws' steel teeth?

    I think those are steel kneecaps.

    That makes absolutely no sense: orthopaedics and dentists are two very different kinds of professional.

    Could be an orthodontist rather than a dentist:

    Orthopaedics + Orthodontics

    Ortho = Octo

    Spectre is behind it all.

    At the very least a lost opportunity to make an interesting character like Mr. White even more so.

    For villainous folk in a Bond film, there's the glaring omission of a physical defect or oddity. The knees seem like a natural. Would also force resultant improvements on Casino Royale: Bond's shot ricochets off White's stainless steel knees. Wild hand to hand combat ensues. Bond is put doubly at risk by the knees turning into jaws that can bite through metal cables, bite through boards, deadly for necks. Does the Aston Martin DBS have an electromagnet installed?

    Unfortunately we'll never know.

    I have a hunch those are knee pads as he would soon be hitting the ground and crawling.

    Nah, it must be the money.

    I’ve always clearly assumed this to be the money strapped to Mr. White’s kneecaps from my very first viewing. What’s all this business about it just being the actor’s kneepads or something? They have stunt doubles for that, people! It’s the money strapped to his knees.

    It is both. It s money, but it also works as kneepads. Good thing it wasn t coins.

    I'm going back on my kneepad theory now. It's not holding up.

    Maybe Mr. White had his knees replaced by the same factory that manufactured Jaws' steel teeth?

    I think those are steel kneecaps.

    That makes absolutely no sense: orthopaedics and dentists are two very different kinds of professional.
    At the very least a lost opportunity to make an interesting character like Mr. White even more so.

    For villainous folk in a Bond film, there's the glaring omission of a physical defect or oddity. The knees seem like a natural. Would also force resultant improvements on Casino Royale: Bond's shot ricochets off White's stainless steel knees. Wild hand to hand combat ensues. Bond is put doubly at risk by the knees turning into jaws that can bite through metal cables, bite through boards, deadly for necks. Does the Aston Martin DBS have an electromagnet installed?

    Unfortunately we'll never know.

    I think you're onto something. It's good that we have so many of us on this now: it's a real joint effort.

    If only approached as on the Monty Python and the Holy Grail DVD special features.

    As "Unshot Footage".

    Perhaps not shot, but those swords did a GREAT deal of damage ! Despite the protestations to "come back and fight ! I'm only injured !" You know...those bunnies may have been worse, though. Even more deadly than cute...that's how they are, those wabbits.

    Controversial opinion: instead of inventing over the top gadgetry, they should reuse the ones of old, like the DB5 and the briefcase, but slightly modernised. And they should use them sparingly.

    Well, as long as you have the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch...

    They can't help themselves with gadgets, for marketing purposes. And as each Bond actor gets more expensive, the newfangled gadgets help defray the costs.

    I also think it's a case that Gadgets are very popular in some parts of the world. So
    I think the producers are always walking the line of trying to please as many people
    as possible.
