Leafing through DEVIL MAY CARE this afternoon, I was startled by a curious coincidence:

The city of Kazan is one of the locations. And it's also a location in QUANTUM OF SOLACE.

I mean, what are the chances?

Probably not worth starting a thread for, really, but now that I've done so does anyone else have any DMC/QOS similarities to point out? (Barring "They're both rubbish", of course.)

They both have a character called James Bond in them.

That is a very odd coincidence, given that neither of them particularly resemble James Bond films or books as I know them. B)

Both feature Rene Mathis.
Both feature Felix Leiter.
Both feature desert bases.

Getting desperate, but both have titles which are never actually mentioned.

Three word titles where the first word is the longest the second word is the shortest. (I’ll show you desperate.)

You saw through my sarcasm. B)

Well, one must acknowledge that "Kazan" is a very good-sounding name, isn't it? :tdown: Plus, people generally know that it's in Russia, but few are able to place it on a map, so it gives the place an aura of mystery. Very good choice of location! (or of location name, at least) B)
