Just realised what new things everyone picked up on, after seeing Quantum of Solace for a second time.

I picked up on much more of the humour.

I also noticed that more Alfa Romeos (Same kind as the PTS) were parked outside of Greene's HQ in Hiati.

I noticed that Bond and Camille were looking up angrily at Greene, in the long shot of the audience after he delivers his speech at the Fundraiser.

Noticed Field's wink to Carlos (chief of the Bolivia Police)?

[DamnCoffee]

During the Interrogation Scene, when all hell breaks loose. Bond turns and looks to see if M is ok, you can see her running up the steps to safety.

Forgive me for hijacking this thread but does JAMES BOND WILL RETURN appear at the end? I've yet to see the film.

[chriso]

- Doesn't Bond wear a blue vest under his suit at the end of CR because in the PTS he isn't wearing one.
- Bond has a Walther PPK but no P99.
- Elvis loses his hairpiece as he falls down the stairs

Yeah it appears right at the end of the credits.

[Righty007]

Is there a scene where Bond switches to the PPK from the P99?

[DamnCoffee]

Nopesss. He used the PPK throughout.

He has a PPK during the fight with Mitchell and at the end of QOS.

In the gunbarrel sequence, Daniel Craig's wearing a suit instead of a tuxedo.

Does Bond wear a shoulder holster?

Does Bond wear a shoulder holster?

I don't believe so. Or if he does, we don't see it.

- Doesn't Bond wear a blue vest under his suit at the end of CR because in the PTS he isn't wearing one.

It's actually an entirely different suit than the one at the end of CASINO ROYALE. Similar in striped-pattern, but the cut is different, and as you noted, there's no vest. This is due, I'm sure, to the change in tailors.

You think Bond would have had time to have a change in Suit? How far is Lake Garda from Sienna?

I noticed Michael G Wilson's cameo. He was the guest sat downstairs in Slate's hotel when Bond picks up the suitcase.

I also noticed Elvis's hairpiece fll off as he went down the stairs.

Ahhh! I still haven't noticed that.

Where does he store his gun then?

It irritates me that Bond's gun magically appeared during the chase in Italy in Casino Royale.

[MI6 Lisbon Branch]

This second time i saw the Michael G Wilson cameo (i missed it the 1st time). He is sitting reading the newspaper when James bond is asking for any messages in the Haiti hotel! Did you guys noticed it?

You mean Quantum Of Solace, right? I saw it for a second time three hours ago, and I noticed this time that he takes it out from the inside of his jacket as Mitchell slams the grids in front of him in the aquaducts.

The action sequence's became more intense and detailed, especially the car chase.

To me, Quantum Of Solace was even more fantastic the second time. It actually exceeds Casino Royale in my opinion, and it is my favorite Bond film at the time.

[DamnCoffee]

Something I thought was brilliant, I bet not many people have picked up on this but...

When Camille is trapped in the fire, you can here faint screams coming from the building when she is sitting terrified, it sounds like the screams of a small girl, probably the ones coming from Camille when she was trapped in the burning house as a child.

No, I meant Casino Royale.

[Pierce - Daniel]

Bond stealing Camille's ID card, I missed that. Also Slate has a first name Edmund.

[NDP]

I noticed a continuity error...Specifically, the scene in haiti, where the
coffins had fallen down onto the street...About two scenes afterwards the coffins
were back on the truck.

RE: The shoulder holster.

I figured that through everything in Siena, Bond was indeed wearing one. We don't see one when he takes his jacket off upon the La Paz arrival, which is perfectly acceptable. No spy would be stupid enough to carry a Walther in a shoulder holster through airport security now, would they?

One thing I noticed was that Bond's shirt is stained with blood when he and Camille arrive at the DC3, yet when he dumps Mathis, no blood. Where did the blood come from in between? I know it's clearly meant to be Mathis' blood - just thought it was funny.

I noticed Bond's request of M to note in her report that "Fields has shown true bravery" while he is escaping the hotel.

While I know that Bond is being very nice to say such kind words towards a fallen comrade, I wonder what kind of bravery Fields has really demonstrated?

Trying to stand up to Bond?
Booking the run down motel instead of a good one?
Dare to be seduced by Bond?
Not telling people her first name?
Tripping Elvis down the stairs?
Or face the oil?

I only wish the writers gave Fields a meaningful role in the story so Bond's request actually makes sense.

To me the most likely report Fields will ever get was the one from Yahoo Movies (on Bond Girls):

"Fate: Top secret - M's eyes only"

Yep, I mentioned that in my review. I was surprised that not many people seemed to pick up on it in the movie.

[DamnCoffee]

Well, she told Quantum nothing for a start. Granted, she probably didn't know anything anyway but the fact that she refused to give information is very brave, especially at the hands of Greene.

Plus the fact that she didn't try to escape, she standed her ground and left Bond a warning.

I've always assumed he uses the style of holster that sits at the small of the back clipped in the waistband, didn't we see he wore one when he was chasing Molloka in CR?

Here is mine.

I loved this one.

When Bond is asking MI6 for a name check on Dominic Greene, he spells out the surname. The screen is obviously working on speech recognition technology, as when he begins to spell it he says GR, and GR pop up.

However, then he says Double E. The screen reacts by first typing W, thinking he was about to say W. But when he continues with his EENE, it reverts almost immediately to EENE.

Very clever stuff. Who else noticed small details the 2nd, 3rd or 4th time around?
