JOHN ADAM BRYCE

16 DECEMBER 1968

Remember his dossier in the Casino website? DOB was 13 April, CR's publication date.

Wonder where they got 16 Dec from?
Apart from my niece's birthday lol

Not sure where they got the date from at all!

Nice homage to the novel Live and Let Die by using the pseudonym John Bryce though.

In which scene did we see his passport details? That's slipped my mind.

Same birthdate as Fleming's friend and neighbor Noel Coward. Or is that just coincidence?

I don't recall seeing his passport in 'Skyfall' either! Must be blind! Nice observations.

Me neither, it slipped my mind.

However, regarding he DOB, since it's an alias they could pick any DOB they wanted, it does not conflict with Bond's personal DOB in the CR dossier anyway.

Interesting. Even James Bond looks like a mess in his passport photo.

Actually whilst on the topic of "not seen in the film" and passports/airports - I can't recall seeing the shots of Severine at Shanghai airport coming down the escalator either. Clearly these scenes were filmed as I've seen production stills and I think they were also on a behind the scene production video.

Clearly this didn't make it into the film, but, as all can imagine around here, it's given me a good laugh.

For the record, my Bryce's middle name is Stewart, but it's not his full given birth name.

I'm guessing this is Bond's travel passport he uses to go to Shanghai.


Still, made my day. B)

Yup, I was wondering about those shots, as well.

Also in the trailer but not the film is M's line "What can you say about a man like that?" But I digress.

Another line not in the film from one of the trailers:
M: When you've with Bond as long as I have, you know that somewhere in the South China Sea is precise intelligence.

I also noticed that the dialogue exchange between Silva and Bond on Silva's island from the trailer is not exactly the same as in the film.
