Being the type of person that I am with QoS coming out I have spent the last 3 weeks watching all the previous Bond films one a night.

Anyway apart from Die Another being over the top and generally poor it also supposedly has hints/links to all the previous 19 films so when I was watching it last I decided to look for these rather than watch the film.

Hopefully someone/anyone can fill in the blanks because this is the sort of stuff that will bug me

Dr. No
The obvious one is Jinx coming out of the water in a bikini with a belt with a knife on.

From Russia With Love
Rosa Klebbs shoe with spike as well as Bonds briefcase are seen in tube station when hes with Q. Also when he meets Jinx apart from the names its exactly the same dialogue as when he meets Tanya

Goldfinger
Q's line 'I never joke about my work' the car having an ejector seat and Jinx being tied down to be killed by a laser

Thunderball
The Jet pack & breather

You Only Live Twice
Jinx breaks into Graves hideout and comes down through the roof like the Japanese do in the Volcano

On Her Majesty's Secret Service
Villian tires to kill Bond by starting an avalanche - tedious but best I could find

Diamonds Are Forever
Diamonds, lasers made of Diamonds, surgery to look like someone else

The Spy Who Loved Me
The Union Jack Parachute used by Graves

Moonraker
Fight scene (fencing) that involves loads of glass cases and their contents getting smashed - another tedious one!

Octopussy
The Plane with fold up wings and the Alligator submarine gadgets in Q's den

A View To A Kill
The spy robot thing again with the other gadgets

The Living Daylights
Fight scene on a plane, leaving a doomed plane out the back on another vehicle

GoldenEye
Zao death from the falling Ice chandelier is very much like the death of Trevelyan

So, that just leaves links in Die Another Day to the following films. Live And Let Die, The Man With The Golden Gun, For Your Eyes Only, Tomorrow Never Dies & The World Is Not Enough.

[Safari Suit]

The revolving mirrors from TMWTGG appear. And the Field office is once again on a ship in Hong Kong.

No idea about the other films though.

[broadshoulder]

Thats one of the myriad of problems with DAD they were so busy crying to cram in references to previous Bonds that they forgot to do a good film.

[Double-0-7]

How about the For Your Eyes Only relationship is to the all the scenes shot in the snow?

For The World is not Enough, Bond shot the leading lady through the head. He should have done that when he first met Jinx.

[Cruiserweight]

You forgot to mention the Stradivarius cello from TLD that was in Qs office.

[DamnCoffee]

Well that's stupid if true.

As if Kara would randomly go and donate her Cello to Q-Branch.

Yes it's true all right.

There's a Cello in the backround in the scene along with the other props from bonds past.

THE WORLD IS NOT ENOUGH

- Jinx trying to spark the control panel wires in Miranda's room to try to get the doors open - the very same way that Christmas Jones sparked the wires by connecting them to the generator to open the blast doors in the silo. The only difference is Christmas actually succeeded while Jinx Gangsta Bitch didn't.

- Miranda turning out to be a villainess quite abruptly.

Stupid film. Why the hell are Klebbs shoes there aswell? Did Bond steal them?

[Safari Suit]

Maybe these things were all contraband?

[HildebrandRarity]

And there's a glaring refernece to itself: His new watch being his 20th!

[MkB]

Well, he had one stuck in his shin, so maybe he fancied them as a souvenir when he got out of the hospital
(yeah, in the novel, not the movie, I know...)

[occhile007]

another one from TNDm the leather suit Jinx wore is identical to Wai Lins. Wai Lin was better though. oh, and when they were on the plane killing the two guards is identical to how Bond boards the stealth boat.

Just when I thought I'd seen DAD for the last time...here you come with this delightful thread. I really must see it again, on the watch for the kitchen sink, in the form of Rosa's shoes, thrown into the over-done tribute.

[Zorin Industries]

Eva Green can clearly be seen as a fencer in the Blades scenes. And it was Jeffrey Wright who emerged from the surf in DIE ANOTHER DAY, not HALLE BERRY. Her face was digitally added afterwards when she got the Oscar and her currency rose.

[Publius]

Stupid film. Why the hell are Klebbs shoes there aswell? Did Bond steal them?

Better question: Why the hell does Bond smell them?

Anyway, I always thought the Vanquish flipping over the missile was a nod to the gas tanker similarly dodging a missile in the LTK finale.

[dinovelvet]

On Her Majesty's Secret Service

Well, OHMSS features a scene where Bond looks at some old gadgets from previous films, just like DAD does.

[Ultraussie (Jordan.adams)]

I belive it refrences to Tomorrow Never Dies in the ice bulding, (Where jinx is something Swift) the background, and the way Bond sips his drink is like TND nightclub at the news premiere.

[Vauxhall]

Perhaps Pierce Brosnan always drinks in the same manner...

Pierce Brosnan also plays a character called James Bond in DAD. This is quite clearly a reference to Goldeneye, where he also played a character called James Bond. I'm surprised no-one else has picked up on this!

I meant the shots looked similar or whatever.
IN the ice building party and the TND news premiere they looked similar.

Eva Green can clearly be seen as a fencer in the Blades scenes. And it was Jeffrey Wright who emerged from the surf in DIE ANOTHER DAY, not HALLE BERRY. Her face was digitally added afterwards when she got the Oscar and her currency rose.

LOL your funny

[Ultraussie (Jordan.adams)]

THere is certain reference to TWINE in the titles: A flame girl.

[JimmyBond]

THere is certain reference to TWINE in the titles: A flame girl.

That has more to do with the motiff of torture than referencing a Bond film.

LOL! This thread is fantastic

[Aris Kristatos]

Thanks for that guys.

Some of those have put my mind at rest and others have made me chuckle. Good spot with the character James Bond being re-used. I totally missed that!

Nothing from Live and Let Die though?

[Cruiserweight]

Nothing from Live and Let Die though?

I don't think so.

[dinovelvet]

Nothing from Live and Let Die though?

Bond smokes a cigar. I think this is the only direct reference, though you could add that both films feature Bond sleeping with a black American agent/sleeping with a traitor, and a villain who changes his appearance and creates a new identity, fooling Bond.

Also to add another one for OHMSS, we see Bond in his office again in DAD...albeit in virtual reality

[Aris Kristatos]

The Villian creating a new identity, how on earth did I manage to miss that one.

Call myself a Bond fan, bloody rubbish!

Cheers!

Stupid film

Don't pretend you didn't love it, before you came here, MHarkin....

It was our fault on here that you changed your mind about it!
