If we dig deep enough, perhaps we'll find that CR is every bit as much of an in-joke fest as DAD.

So, then, a couple of references to earlier Bond flicks. Any I've missed?

- Tsai Chin (Ling in YOLT ["Darling, I give you very best duck"]) has a minor role as Mrs Wu.

- Bond refers to the Aston Martin as a 1964 model. That was the year of GOLDFINGER, when audiences first saw 007 with that car.

- (A bit tenuous, this one, and it's hard to believe it's a "DAD tribute", as such, but, anyway....) M's failure to do a proper background check on Vesper recalls her failure to do one on Miranda Frost.

ETA:

Oops, posted this topic twice by mistake (and it obviously doesn't belong in the BOND 22 forum). Please close/delete.

There was an invisible car in every scene.

Dear oh dear, "invisible car". I really can't believe I've written that, after seeing Casino Royale.
