I'm sure that it has been picked up on somewhere, but Brosnan/Bond's cigar smoking while in Cuba clearly references Moore/Bond's cigar preference.
Though it makes sense when Brosnan puffs on a Havana while in Cuba whereas it always seemed an affectation when Rog did it.

When I first saw stills of long-haired Brosnan/Bond his hair colour seemed several shades lighter than his usual black (it's not so obvious in the actual movie), and I wondered if this was a tribute to Roger Moore's wildly fluctuating hair colour in his various Bond films.

...and is the reference to Bollinger '61 a reference to Dr No?
I haven't checked but if memory serves it was offered by Dr No to Bond on Crab Key (or was it the '59, and Bond prefered the '61?)

The '61 could well be a character trait. Interesting pick up

I am watching FRWL right now, and I noticed something of a homage that I haven't seen anyone talking about before. When Tatiana and James first meet each other, she says "My friends call me Tatiana." Bond then replies,"My friends call me James Bond." THis is the exact exchange that happens when Jinx and BOnd first meet in Cuba in DAD! Had anyone noticed this before?

Doesn't he say "Mine call me James Bond" in FRWL rather than "My friends call me James Bond"?

The traction control (spikes) were also used in Licence to Kill I think.

The line "You must be joking" was used in GF, when revieing the car.

When I get the DVD I will pause the scene where Bond and Q are in the underground because on the wall there are at least three small alcoves labelled 1,2,3 etc. The first one had a picture of a woman. I was wondering whether this may have been a drawing of Ursula Andress. Does anyone know?

"It's a Dom Perignon 55 Mr Bond, it would be a pity to break it."

"I prefer the 53 myself."

Thanks JBond007, I shouldn't trust to memory.
Not at my age.

But the 61 Bollinger was what Roger Moore's Bond preferred in TMWTGG I think.

Also, wouldnt you say there are some litereary homages too

Colonel Moon being reference to Colonel Sun

Or M having to shoot Bond a tip to TMWTGG?

Sorry to bring this back up, but I got here through the other (now-closed) topic, and there are 2 things I'd like to comment about

Well, it seems like not only gadgets were included, but most of the time it was always just props. Like the plane wing from Octopussy.
