Am I the only one to notice the blatant mistake regarding the final hand and Bond's winning of $115 million?

Bond raised and went all in. LeChiffe called. Therefore Bond's straight flush should've been the FIRST hand revealed, not the last.

Yeah, looks like they cheated on the proper sequence for dramatic effect. Had everyone else called at that point? I don't remember.

I noticed that too. Drove me nuts for the first time i saw it for some reason but then all was ok when I kept thinking about the way Infante (the big black guy at the table) says his wager by just throwing a five in the air. Love that guy.

Yeah, whoever did the casting for the other players deserves a million dollars. Interesting and fantastic characters, yet still grounded and believable as real people. Unlike, say, every secondary character between 1995 and 2006.

I'm more than happy to let this slide. Poetic licence.

haha I remember in the scene leading up to Bond reveiling his final hand, each of the players on the table gets a final close-up just to build up a bit of tension, all the while Bond and Le Chiffre are staring each other down. A great momment, but undermined by Infante's classic face. That moment got the biggest laugh in the whole cinema when I saw the film, however unintentional it was.

You're thinking of Bond and Goodhead having sex in zero gravity but without the bondage apparel usually necessary? Probably some tantric survival course Q (or Qute?) put Bond through.

That's the one about there being no French-built space station orbiting the earth in 1979, isn't it?

Despite what this aggressive agitprop suggests - it never was there. Fact. I don't know how Eon have got away with it for all these years. It's a disgrace. It's staring people in the face and yet they don't accept it. Typical Hollywood Liberal Elite Liars.

Yes. I feel used, so used and betrayed.

Not to mention the fact that my uncle fell out of an airplane without a parachute, attempted to wrestle one free from another parachuter and was unsuccessful. I blame Moonraker for making him think it was possible :(
