Was there any existent thread about it? I haven't seen it, so I created this. If there's one, move it please mods.

What I've noticed today:

1) Camille's Surname: Montés Rivero (not Rivera)
2) The face of Yusef after being "bitten" by the fish (Really horrendous! It had a more deep impact than in the cinema)

the only thing i didnt notice in the theatre that i have noticed watching it at home so far is how bond continues to walk to the left after shooting in the gunbarrel at the end.

He does and all! Well spotted, I completely miised that first time. I must admit, I rather detest the Quantum Of Solace gunbarrel.

This maybe not the place for this. But I've watched QOS several times on DVD now and once at the cinema and still can't seem to place where Bond says to Camille "Take a deep breath, and make it count." the first time. When Camille repeats it I think every time "Did he?"

Maybe it's just me!

The line is first said by Bond when he and Camille are hiding behind the rocks watching Greene and his crew arrive at the eco hotel to meet Medrano. It's part of a larger speech about how she should take care of her business with Medrano.

Welcome to CBn.

Thank you, spotted it last night.

I like Craigs sunglasses in that scene.

You can see "Aston Martin" on the close ups of the wheels at the beginning. Did not notice that for a while.

[Blonde Bond]

I noticed / felt some scenes shorter than when I saw them in the cinema. But that might be just me.

*Siena Underground chase felt shorter
*Siena Rooftop chase felt shorter. I could swear there was a scene, when I saw the movie in the cinema , where Mitchell is seen running somewhere above where Bond is on his left and Bond's running just down where Mitchell's running and then Bond see him just left above him and continues the chase. I think this was just before he tried to take a shot at Mitchell.

I've seen the movie... hmmm, 4 times on dvd and these scenes feel shorter / missing something.


But the plus side is ; I've noticed that I like the movie more

Actually last night I was watching QoS on Blu Ray and noticed something strange... after Bond and Camille have ended up in the sink hole, Bond wanders off. When he returns, just as he says, "I think I've found a way out", he steps across some rocks, and one of them is clearly rubber as it squishes and springs back. After all, we wouldn't want DC to hurt his delicate feet, would we ;-)

Check James Bond's Universal Exports card he gives the guard. I believe it says his name is Roger Sterling.

[Automan]

It just says

R. Sterling

Bond has used the name Robert Sterling a number of times

[Bucky]

I like reading small things people have noticed that I have not noticed when watching the movie. I have tried watching the movie again several time to look for these things but every time I get so caught up in the movie that I forget to look and don't remember until after it is over.

I noticed Slate's agony was shorter too. Maybe some shots where cut.

Move it if you have to.

Only just noticed that after Bond escapes from the bar where Felix was, when he leaps to a balcony and ducks in a door, a bullet hole appears in the door RIGHT by his head. Like, perfect timing on Bond's part not to have gotten his crown blown off. Blink and you'll miss it.

Good eyes. I'll look out for this next time I view the film.

[007Bond007]

i noticed this the second time i saw the movie, when bond and mathis are on the plane mathis offers bond pills "some make you forget some make you grow taller" when mathis says some make you grow taller you can hear craig laughing. pretty funny.

Just noticed that the Hotel is called Dessalines, the name of the first Haitian Ruler (Jean-Jacques Dessalines)

Odd that - what with the car being an, er, Aston Martin.

[Pete]

I only noticed the other night that DC turns to his right & carries on walking after the shooting in the gun barrel scene.

Oh where to begin? I just watched the film for the second time over the weekend on DVD. Here are some things I never noticed before:

1. The fact that Bond allowed the Special Branch bodyguard to fall because he knew that the height of the building wasn't so high enough to kill him. I had originally thought that Bond was being callous and actually was allowing the guy to die.

2. Bond's craddling and comforting of Mathis before his death. I never noticed the general concern in his face.

3. The final scene with Yusef. When I had orignally saw the scene I wondered why Bond did not shoot him as a result of what he did to Vesper. However after I saw the film a second time. I could see the rage in Bond's face and the fact that he did want to shoot Yussef. But he restrained himself because he knew that there was much more at stake, and MI6 needed Yusef to get information on Quantum.

I think I noticed that the second time I saw it in the theatre, thought it was cute.

I tend to think of the torture scene in CR as Craig's signature moment in that film, it's just such a great scene. Feel the same about the final confrontation with Yusef in QOS, great moment for Craig, for exactly what you identify.

Got the Blu Ray yesterday, and I've noticed some cool things...

1. When Bond brings Camille to shore, before he announces she's 'sea sick', you can hear birds twittering in the crane shot. Thanks to the uncompressed audio.

2. After Mathis' death, when Bond can Camille are trying to the DC3, the reflection of the jeep can be seen in a puddle on the ground.

3. Its nice to see a topless man being escorted to a police station aswell, when Bond, Fields and Mathis are driving to the dingy hotel. -_-

What strikes me on Blu Ray - and I can't stop watching the bloody thing 'cos I love the film so much - is how beautifully lit and shot it is. The professional standards alone are at their peak in this one.

[DamnCoffee]

I noticed this in the cinema, but even more so on Blu, and it's bothering me..

Don't you just LOVE how M's mouth isn't moving when she revokes his licence to kill? "You'll give whatever weapons you have to these men and leave with them now."

I know it's meant to be artistic, but it looks bad. Nice shot though.

This is a common convention in movies. That scene where her mouth isnt moving contained no dialogue. The dialogue was from the previous scene where she was standing right next to Bond.

[DamnCoffee]

I know my friend, I know! But for some reason it seems out of place, it just looks odd.

[Bucky]

i actually very much enjoy the way that scene was edited.

other things i have noticed watching the movie at home? just how awesome it is. it really is like a bullet and i never get tired of going along for the ride.

[eddychaput]

Call me crazy but I hadn't noticed the scars on Camille's back when I saw the movie in theatre (twice no less!). I only noticed when I watched the film for the third time which was at home on DVD.
