    In the DAF PTS, Bond steals medical scrubs from one of Blofeld's henchman. We see the henchman, dead, in some bushes...WITHOUT HIS PANTS! He is just in boxers. But Bond isn't wearing the man's pants, just his top, which is like a long gown.

    Did Bond take off the man's pants? (If so, wth????????)
    or
    Was the man only wearing his boxers under that gown? (if so, wth?????????)

    :))

    This may actually be for the Questions thread, but watching DAF a couple of days ago Tiffany approaches Q in the casino and says something like 'Hi Mr Q. Having any luck?'

    When did Tiffany and Q meet previously? Have a missed something here?

    Well she seemed to know who James Bond was even though he's supposed to be a spy 'You just killed James Bond'

    I'm no fan of jill St John's Tiffany Case, but by God she looks good in a bikini.

    My brother just came across something quite interesting. Listen to the Licence to Kill gunbarrel music here:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J3iMlp7CEEQ&ab_channel=ChrisGallen

    Then compare it with the first 15 seconds of this video:

    <iframe width="420" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/xb-pX7sIjFY"; frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

    Uncanny! If anyone has the time to create some sort of video mash-up then we might be in business.

    @JawsIsAlive, I must be missing something, I'm not hearing an uncanny similarity.

    They both have a rising crescendo as an Intro, but nothing stands out, to
    Me at least.

    "You KNOW this happened to the other fella."
    Notice how Madeleine is looking at the camera, or appears to be. Thus, she - in my eyes at least - and George Lazenby have the honor of breaking the fourth wall, which happens to be favorite comedy gag.

    The image doesn't appear to be working @KaijuDirectorOO7
    But I can't think of an instance in SP when anyone is looking directly at camera. Certainly not with the intention of breaking the fourth wall.

    Okay, @Benny. I tried doing the photo again. Apologies if it's still broken. (This one works fine for me)

    Anyways, breaking the fourth wall or not, I still found finding this tidbit entertaining.

    I thought she was looking at Bond there, probably thinking about what she'd be
    doing to him later ! :D

    Yeah she's looking at Bond.

    Irritating scene, but yes she's looking at Bond.
    Agreed on both counts. Very Avengers-like (the Steed/Peel version) though.

    Shortly after the raid on Piz Gloria begins (seconds after one of Draco's men throws a grenade from the helicopter and blinds the bad guy who immediately grabs his face), we see a shot of two of the helicopters hovering over Piz Gloria, with one approaching from the far left of the screen. I just noticed that the helicopter that appears from the left literally appears out of thin air (must've been the way the shot was edited), and the helicopter on the far right teleports a few feet ahead just a second after. Don't think I've ever caught that before.

    That should have told Lazenby Bond that his reality was just an illusion.

    That has just reminded me of something I noticed, more a question really. In the Piz Gloria raid Bond is fireing his gun while on his stomach. A line pulling him along is clearly visible. Is this a goof or is the line deliberate? i.e something Bond is using to whizz along the ground. I've always wondered.

    In Dr. No, Major Boothroyd has a plaster on his finger. Never noticed that before, but there you go...

    Another little tidbit I've picked up on lately: Q loathes that Bond constantly destroys his equipment in the field, and then one of the only times we see him undercover in the field (during the beginning of the finale for LTK), he uses a broom gadget...just to toss it into the bushes when he's done.

    That's what I love about it, it just never stood out in my mind until a few weeks ago.

    Also doesn't Q bump the car in a wall in TND when demonstrating the remote control function, and Bond just aces it a few seconds later?

    I can't remember the reason why they had to do it but this was some trick in editing which is explained in the Inside OHMSS doc on the DVD.

    I noticed for the first time the other day that in the establishing shot of the casino in TWINE Bond's Z8 is parked outside with the roof folded up.

    Not that interesting but you always spot something new however insignificant.

    @TheWizardOfIce, I'll be sure to check out that documentary the next time I watch the movie. This year, I've been focusing on background characters and miscellaneous happenings going on in the background of the Bond movies, just to see what new things I manage to catch after hundreds of viewings and a couple decades. It's amazing what you can manage to catch for the very first time.

    How can Bond say, "Beluga...North of the Caspian" so clearly (he's walking away from the camera) if he just shoved a slice of toast with a large swath of caviar on it into his mouth? Unless he swallowed it whole.

    Maybe his phonological loop is leaking out, so we can hear his inner monologue?

    During the airbase finale of TLD I've never noticed that the planes undercarriage alternates from being up to down at several times.
    When the plane takes off causing the other plane and Koskov to collide the undercarriage is obviously down. And it remains down until Bond and Necros begin the cargo net fight. This is when the undercarriage is now up. When Bond has disposed of Necros and the plane almost flies into the side of the cliff face the undercarriage is down again, but a moment later when the plane approaches the bridge the undercarriage is up again. It remains up until Bond and Kara use the jeep to exit the plane using the parachutes, when the undercarriage is down again, and then finally explodes.
    Nothing to get too excited about granted, but I've never really picked up on it before. And TLD is one of my all time favourites.

    That s because Kara is handling the plane.

    It's nowhere near as bad as the loading ramp being suddenly changed to a totally different design in the shot when Kara drives into the plane.

    That could be because they had to use a removal truck with a fake plane tail to complete the shot. It's referenced in the making of doc on the DVD and BluRay
    Something to do with Hercules not being able to taxi with the ramp down.
