Never noticed this until the DVD.

The terrorist blowing up himself is actually taken straight from the novel, where there is a scene, where two killers are killed by their own bomb and their own stupidity.

The context is different, but the idea is taken verbatim, and put at around the same time in the chronology of events.

This movie is really closer to the novel in more ways than the obvious

Yes indeed. Good point stamper.

You could not have asked more from an adaptation of a novel writen over half a century ago.

Thankfully Eon made a movie that was infinitely better than the book upon which it was based.

Good point, Stamper.

It's worked into the film much differently than in the novel, but the basic concept of the bad guy getting blown up by his own bomb is intact.
