During Bond and Dryden's meeting in the office, Dryden slides open his drawer to reveal his pistol. Underneath said pistol lies a folder, which clearly boasts the Universal Exports logo. What a great touch that is, barely noticeable but there nonetheless. Ah well, thought I'd share.

Probably didn't need its own thread but I just noticed this and thought it was really cool.

I spotted it too. What a pity - for him - that when he picked up the pistol Dryden didn't notice it was a little bit lighter than it would be if loaded!
It is attention to detail such as this that I like in films in general and Bond in particular. Particularly in a reboot such as CR, it was important to remind the audience that the film really was a Bond film. Little touches like that help.
Presumably you noticed the Universal Exports business card flashed by Bond in QoS, and the alias on it - Robert Sterling? Related to a certain marine biologist, perhaps?

Never noticed this in either film. Looks like someone needs to watch them again.
What a good excuse.
Might join you.

The logistics of this would be mind boggling. I mean you live in Oz and I am in the UK, but if your game I am. Ill put the kettle on.

Yep indeed. I did like this nice touch.

Oh yes, that one was a bit more blatant but very cool nonetheless.
