| Casino Royale (2006) | comment |
The one where it all began — again.Casino Royale is the twenty-first film in Eon Productions' James Bond film franchise, the third adaptation of the very first James Bond novel, Ian Fleming's Casino Royale, and the second film to be directed by Martin Campbell in the series, introducing Daniel Craig as James Bond. It was the first Bond film distributed by Sony Pictures Releasing under Columbia Pictures, and was released November 16, 2006. Chris Cornell performed the Title Theme Tune, "You Know My Name".Released four years after the much-criticized Die Another Day, the movie is essentially a Continuity Reboot for the franchise, serving as an Origins Episode of how Bond acquired his licence to kill and became the Tuxedo and Martini secret agent he is today. However, Eon still refer to it officially as the twenty-first film in the series.In the film's expanded first half, Bond earns his 00- status and tracks down a terrorist financier known only as Le Chiffre. In the second half, adapted from Fleming's original novel, Bond must win a high-stakes game of poker against Le Chiffre to bankrupt the criminal and capture him. Along the way, Bond is nearly killed twice, gets tortured by Le Chiffre, and falls in love with Vesper Lynd, the gorgeous accountant in charge of staking him in the game.The film was noted for being Darker and Edgier than most of the previous ones, with the fight scenes brutal and bloody, and the story hewing closer to a political thriller about tracking down the cash flow of terrorist organizations than an adventure yarn about a superheroic secret agent saving the world from megalomaniacs using elaborate home bases, kill sats and pilfered nuclear weapons.The film also features several changes to the original novel in its second half, some of which have to do with the time period of the filming: the card game goes from Baccarat to Texas Hold 'Em Poker, the time period from the 1950s to the 2000s, the setting from France to a newly-independent Montenegro, and Bond from a Shell-Shocked Veteran to a Wisecracking Sociopath, which makes the torture scene a different affair altogether. Lastly, the film exchanges Vesper's quiet final scenes and a long discussion between Bond and Mathis on the nature of evilnote (Oddly enough, this latter sequence is referred to in Quantum of Solace, in a brief exchange between Mathis and Bond when they reunite) for an action-packed showdown in the grand canals of Venice.Ian Fleming had sold the rights to the novel separately from the rest of the series, which is the reason that it took so long for a proper adaptation of it. Additionally, Casino Royale is the first film since The Living Daylights nearly 20 years prior to be based on a James Bond publication by Ian Fleming.Under absolutely no circumstances should you confuse this with the 1967 film of the same title, a zany parody with only a few scenes in common with the source material, nor should you confuse it with the 1954 television movie/episode of the anthology series Climax!, which was a Compressed Adaptation of the novel to fit the hour-long format.Followed by Quantum of Solace, one of the few direct sequels in the Bond film franchise. | |

Can't Kill You, Still Need You | |
| Casino Royale (2006) / int_1206d299 | comment |
Can't Kill You, Still Need You: Steven Obanno is extremely angry at Le Chiffre for losing his money in the foiled attack at Miami, attacking him in his Montenegro hotel suite. He tells Le Chiffre "I would take your hand for this betrayal, but you need it to play cards," and briefly threatens Le Chiffre's girlfriend. Bond and Mr. White do this to each other. The latter does this to the former because he needs the password to the account; the former does this to the latter at the very end, leading up to the events of Quantum of Solace. | |

Trailers Always Spoil: The trailers for the film include the very last shot of the film, with Bond in the very nice suit and vest while carrying a silenced submachine gun. They do leave out the context and the line that makes that scene so awesome though. The action in Venice, making it clear more than just post-victory celebration will occur there. | |

Darker and Edgier | |
| Casino Royale (2006) / int_14beeefd | comment |
Darker and Edgier: The movie tries to be more mature and realistic than its predecessors—for example, instead of just adding extra blood, sex, and swearing (all of which existed in previous Bond films), the movie made more subtle changes. Interestingly, some of its darkest elements were actually taken straight from the book (such as the torture scene late in the film). We discover in this film that, for example, to become a 00 Agent one must have at least two confirmed kills under their belt. | |

Ripped from the Headlines | |
| Casino Royale (2006) / int_1616e13 | comment |
Ripped from the Headlines: Le Chiffre's plan to sabotage the test flight of a new passenger jet was clearly inspired by the troubles Boeing was having in getting the 787 Dreamliner ready for its first official test flight around that time (the 787 was originally scheduled to start flying in 2008, but due to technological issues, it didn't take to the air until 2011). | |

Obligatory Earpiece Touch: Early on Bond and another agent are surveilling a runner for a terrorist organisation. The other agent repeatedly fiddles with his earpiece (to hear better), much to the frustration of Bond, who scolds him for doing it and tells him not to draw attention to himself. Sure enough, their target notices the other agent while the agent is pushing on the earpiece and makes a run for it. | |

Chekhov's Gun | |
| Casino Royale (2006) / int_22cf536c | comment |
Chekhov's Gun: Near the beginning is a scene with Le Chiffre playing poker. "I have only 2 pair, and you have a full 17.4% chance of completing your straight". Guess what happens during the big poker game... (Le Chiffre actually gets a Full House, aces full of sixes, and Bond actually gets a straight flush, the probability of which is much lower than getting a regular straight.) Early in the movie, Mollaka gets spooked when he sees one of the British agents holding a finger to his ear, giving away that he was using an earpiece. Later on, when Bond and Vesper are trying to evade Obanno and his henchman via Fake-Out Make-Out, one of the bad guys notices the earpiece that Bond was using to listen in on Le Chiffre with. | |

Right after White kills Le Chiffre, in the latter's final shot, his eye starts bleeding. Overlaps somewhat with Ironic Echo, when Bond taunts Le Chiffre earlier in the film, "I won't consider myself to be in trouble until I start weeping blood." | |

Red Right Hand | |
| Casino Royale (2006) / int_25b7257f | comment |
Red Right Hand: As many Bond villains do, most of the bad guys have one. Le Chiffre weeps blood from a damaged vessel in his left eye when stressed. "Nothing sinister". Mollaka in the opening of the movie has chemical burns on the right side of his head, presumably from a botched bombing. | |

Mythology Gag | |
| Casino Royale (2006) / int_26ac510e | comment |
Mythology Gag: Vesper's introduction to Bond ("I'm the money." "Every penny of it.") references Miss Moneypenny, who does not appear in the film. Later in the film, a bartender asks him whether he prefers his martini shaken or stirred. Bond responds, "Do I look like I give a damn?" And on their way to the casino, Bond jokingly tells Vesper her alias is "Stephanie Broadchest", referencing the naming style of Bond girls like Pussy Galore, Honey Ryder and Kissy Suzuki. Vesper is very much offended by the choice of alias. When M chastises Bond early in the movie, she mentions "Christ, I miss the Cold War," a callback to her character's introduction in GoldenEye, where she chastises Pierce Brosnan's Bond for being a "relic of the Cold War."note With that said, despite sharing the same actress, the character in the Craig era is not actually the same as the one in the Brosnan era Bond wins a classic Aston Martin DB5, which is one of the best known cars from the older movies. Can anyone say "Three measures of Gordon's, one of vodka, half a measure of Kina Lillet, shaken well over ice until chilled, and served with a thin slice of lemon peel"? At the Bodies exhibition in Miami, Dimitrios' bag gets tagged number 53, in reference to the book's original publication year, 1953. Mr. White's Pre-Mortem One-Liner before shooting Le Chiffre is, "Money isn't as important to our organisation as knowing who to trust." This calls back to Licence to Kill where Franz Sanchez tells Milton Krest, "Loyalty is more important to me than money." In Die Another Day, M also talks about "knowing who to trust" being everything in their business. M calls back to Die Another Day again when she calls Bond "a blunt instrument", just as Miranda Frost did. One from the books. A primary reason why Bond wore Rolexes with metal bracelets was because they made good emergency knuckledusters. He uses one to kill a mook in On Her Majesty's Secret Service and beats down his captor with one in Diamonds Are Forever. In this movie, Film!Bond uses his Omega Seamaster to repeatedly clobber one of Gettler's subordinates in the collapsing Venice house. To get this you have to read several of the original novels, especially Goldfinger. Throughout the series there are references to the game at the Casino Royale including the names and positions of the players. The large black gentleman? Mr. Big from Live and Let Die. The touristy woman to Felix's left? In the book Goldfinger, the DuPonts ask Bond to investigate Goldfinger cheating at cards. Paired with invoked Throw It In!—the supposed homage to Honey Ryder's famous entrance in Dr. No occurred because Craig hit a sandbar while swimming, forcing him to stand up and walk to shore. | |

Shoot the Shaggy Dog: It sure took a long time for Bond and Vesper to go to Italy just for her to betray him and die. Hell, if the movie ended 10 minutes before it did the whole thing would've been a "Shaggy Dog" Story; the trail to the case died, Vesper died, and Le Chiffre died without MI6 getting the information from him that they wanted. | |

Use Their Own Weapon Against Them | |
| Casino Royale (2006) / int_2a07adf3 | comment |
Use Their Own Weapon Against Them: The Animated Credits Opening has a sequence in which Bond fights a man armed with a knife. Bond takes the knife from the man and stabs him with it, causing him to dissolve into poker card diamonds. The above scene is a reference to one in the movie proper in which Alex Dimitrios confronts Bond at an airport and tries to kill him with a knife, and both end up trying to redirect the knife at point blank range (without alarming anyone around them). Bond gets the upper hand and kills Dimitrios with the knife instead. | |

The African bomber tries to shoot Bond while on the crane, but he's out of bullets. He throws the pistol at Bond in an act of desperation, but Bond deftly catches it and throws it back so that this time, it hits Mollaka in the head. | |

Rule of Cool | |
| Casino Royale (2006) / int_36e63b81 | comment |
Rule of Cool: Bond ultimately wins the card game against master poker players, not by outplaying them or by some great strategy, but because he gets a straight flush at the exact right moment in the ideal situation, where everyone else stays in because they all happen to have hands that are near impossible to beat (as opposed to folding when they realise Bond probably has a good hand, which would be the typical outcome), which has even more ridiculous odds. The only reason the audience does not question what is nearly mathematically impossible is that Bond getting a straight flush is flippin' cool. Nearly mathematically impossible, yes, but ask any professional card player about their worst bad bet, and it'll sound almost exactly like Le Chiffre's. The odds of someone with aces full (or, better, quad aces) losing a hand are very low, and yet it happens. What's more, it's more likely to happen in Texas Hold 'Em because of how the game works. Given the cards that came up in the last hand, it would have been very difficult for any player in that last hand to fold, especially if they were low on chips. Bond also tips over all of his chips when going all-in; in real life, this is highly annoying for players and dealers alike since it's easier and quicker to mark amounts when players keep their chips in stacks and shoving them in a pile is just a big messy headache. Especially in this case where several side pots would be involved. After the final hand, Bond tips the dealer with one of his chips. In poker tournaments, the chips do not have actual cash value and are just markers to play with; nor does the banker holding the pooled funds indicate that tips can be given in this fashion. | |

Batman Gambit | |
| Casino Royale (2006) / int_38d02d44 | comment |
Batman Gambit: M knows Bond isn't going to the Bahamas to lay low, but fails to interfere. Bond later calls her on it. Mr. White. He finances Le Chiffre and sends assassins to terrorize him, forcing him to desperately focus his attention on defeating Bond in order to pay off his debts. This animosity strokes Bond's ego to the point where he blindly focuses on defeating Le Chiffre. Mr. White, then, puts Vesper (whom he is blackmailing as well, with her fiance) between the two men to mitigate their final confrontation, where Le Chiffre tortures Bond, giving White an opportunity to kill both (but he only kills Le Chiffre because only Bond knows the password to the account, and Vesper refuses to go through with the deal unless Bond is kept alive). This actually leads to White's downfall, after Vesper preempts this and leaves her cell phone with Bond before she kills herself, allowing him to locate White in the final scene. M again, at the end of the film. Her phone conversation with Bond ("too bad, now we'll never know, come on back...") sets him on exactly the course she wants him to take. | |

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome | |
| Casino Royale (2006) / int_3ed23024 | comment |
Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: Bond breaks into the embassy of a sovereign state to capture a terrorist. Not only does he get caught on camera, he also fails to capture the terrorist alive, which is what his original objective was. Even M thinks he's stupid and lashes out at him accordingly. However, it's not made clear by the movie quite how the media (or the embassy, or Madagascar on which the embassy resided within) recognised him as specifically a British agent, when he said not a word to any of the staff and presumably managed to covertly escape the country and return to the UK. | |

Adaptational Location Change | |
| Casino Royale (2006) / int_40b98588 | comment |
Adaptational Location Change: The book is set almost entirely in France. The film follows the since established Bond tradition of a World Tour: the prologue is set in Prague, the first hour largely in Madagascar and the Caribbean, the crux of the story in Montenegro, and the climax in Venice. | |

Bittersweet Ending | |
| Casino Royale (2006) / int_40cc0c7e | comment |
Bittersweet Ending: "The bitch is dead." The line's from the original novel, more or less. Interestingly, M's response to this line provokes a change in 007 that was not there in the novel. Rather than turning hard and misogynistic, he becomes obsessed with revenge. Of course in either case Bond was simply covering his feelings, showing hatred and contempt instead of the sadness he felt at being betrayed by and losing the woman he loved. Beyond that, the man they wanted to interrogate is killed and Mr White gets away with the money. That all said though, Le Chiffre's death means his terrorist funding schemes are finished and Bond at least gets to capture Mr. White in the last scene thanks to Vesper posthumously leaving behind his phone number to Bond. | |

Establishing Series Moment | |
| Casino Royale (2006) / int_41c08e5 | comment |
Establishing Series Moment: The black-and-white opening establishes the Darker and Edgier tone of Daniel Craig's Bond, as Bond notches the two kills required to become a double-0 agent, the first a brutal, Bourne-esque fight with Dryden's contact, and the second a cold-blooded assassination of Dryden himself, with a split-second view of a photo on Dryden's desk confirming that he is a family man to highlight the moral ambiguity of Bond's line of work. Just to reassure the audience that the classic Bond tropes will not be entirely absent, Bond does drop a Bond One-Liner after killing Dryden, and the scene ends with Bond shooting Dryden's contact, neatly cutting into the iconic Bond Gun Barrel. | |

Cold-Blooded Torture | |
| Casino Royale (2006) / int_424c9a9b | comment |
Cold-Blooded Torture: Le Chiffre uses a knotted rope, a bottomless chair, and some very strategic blows to persuade James Bond to reveal some very vital information. Specifically, that he has an itchy scrotum. According to M, Le Chiffre's men tortured Solange before killing her. And given her state of undress, it's implied that they raped her as well. | |

ArtisticLicenceMedicine | |
| Casino Royale (2006) / int_48d68345 | comment |
Artistic Licence Medicine: Whenever Le Chiffre uses his inhaler he puffs out - thus exhaling (rather than inhaling) his medicine. When Bond is poisoned: He is advised to use the defibrillator and combopen. The former would not be used as it can increase the dysrhythmia, while the latter would have no effect (Combopens are antidotes for nerve agents). The "combopen" (auto-injector) actually contained lidocaine, which alone would've temporarily eased the symptoms so Bond could reach a hospital for proper treatment. The poison is identified as digitalis, which even in large doses would not have such an immediate effect when consumed (it has to be absorbed by the stomach first, then carried to the heart, which would have taken several hours). | |

While confronting him, the station chief starts to tell him It Gets Easier and Bond shoots him dead mid-sentence. Averted when Bond gives the aeroplane bomber a Pineapple Surprise, since Bond is in the middle of being arrested by the police at the time. There's a Gory Discretion Shot as the bomb clipped to the bomber's belt goes off, which cuts to Bond just smirking at the sight. Bond asks Mathis if he had "any trouble with the bodies" of Steven Obanno and his henchman. Mathis comments, "Less than some," right before calling a cell phone he put in one of their pockets before he stashed them in Le Chiffre's henchman's car, getting him arrested by the police as Mathis and Bond look on. | |

Adaptational Attractiveness | |
| Casino Royale (2006) / int_557838d1 | comment |
Adaptational Attractiveness: In the book, Le Chiffre has virtually every physical trait that would've repulsed a 1950s British audience - overweight, Jewish features, "feminine" mouth, et cetera. Mads Mikkelsen, on the other hand, has been crowned multiple times as Denmark's Sexiest Man, and the eye-scar can only do so much to mitigate that. | |

| Casino Royale (2006) / int_5fd84723 | comment |
Graceful Landing, Clumsy Landing: The start of the film has a somewhat downplayed example. Bond is chasing a bomb maker who pulls off numerous astounding jumps with stunning nimbleness as he tries to evade the MI6. Bond goes for more straightforward methods, such as sometimes crashing straight through walls, and on at least one occasion fumbles the landing from a jump that the bomb maker made, resulting in him tumbling off his landing site whereas the bomb maker lands it perfectly. | |

Originally she was supposed to be in her underwear in the scene, but it was argued, by both Daniel Craig and Eva Green, as it is claimed, that as Vesper is very traumatised from seeing Bond killing two men (and having to help by preventing one of them from grabbing a gun to fight back), she wouldn't have stopped to get undressed. | |

Pragmatic Adaptation | |
| Casino Royale (2006) / int_603f1a80 | comment |
Pragmatic Adaptation: While obviously more well-known and popular, Texas Hold 'Em is also far more of a psychological warfare game than Baccarat. In the novel, Le Chiffre was in financial trouble due to making a bad business decision; namely, buying a chain of brothels in what would have been a savvy choice had the French government not banned prostitution a few months later. This was given in a memo-based infodump early on. Bond foiling his plans to destroy a prototype aeroplane is not only more suited for film, but also gives more agency to MI6. | |

Freeze-Frame Bonus | |
| Casino Royale (2006) / int_62f9d08e | comment |
Freeze-Frame Bonus: When Dryden is shot, there's a brief shot of a portrait of him with his family, emphasizing the fact that no matter how you paint him, Bond is a killer. During the scuffle on the fuel truck, just before the bomber jumps from the fuel truck, Bond grabs his belt. Later, the bomber realizes (far too late) that Bond clipped the bomb to his belt. Right after White kills Le Chiffre, in the latter's final shot, his eye starts bleeding. Overlaps somewhat with Ironic Echo, when Bond taunts Le Chiffre earlier in the film, "I won't consider myself to be in trouble until I start weeping blood." When Bond sends his resignation email to M, take a closer look at the names listed onscreen. They include Anne Bennett, Chris McBride, Neil Pinkawa, and David Hicks, all of whom worked on the movie. | |

The Reveal: Vesper Lynd is a Love-Interest Traitor, playing along with Bond until she steals the money to get her boyfriend (who she's still in love with) back. However, it's suggested that she did fall for Bond as well, cutting a deal to save his life in exchange for going through with the theft. Bond's Roaring Rampage of Revenge in the next film culminates with the reveal that the original boyfriend is himself a traitor, seducing women with access to state secrets and using them to obtain and sell said secrets. Fortunately(?), Vesper's killed before she finds out about that facet of his personality. She dies thinking that she has at least saved the lives of the two men she loved. | |

Parking Payback: Bond is mistaken for a valet and ordered by a very condescending guest to park his car. He does so — by backing it forcefully into a parking barrier, setting off many car alarms. This is not just for kicks and giggles; it's a handy distraction as well so Bond can get a good look at the hotel's security footage. Gets a Brick Joke when the guest spots Bond (clearly looking more like another guest this time) later that night, double-taking in surprise. | |

NONE of that happens in the actual film. note Though unlike the others, the Vesper & Bond scene was actually filmed, just deleted from the final cut. Another poster, as well as the DVD cover, has Bond in the same outfit/pose while Vesper stands on the stairs leading to the casino, looking on. Again, no such scene happens in the movie. In particular, though she's wearing the dress that she wore in the second casino scene, Vesper's hair is loose rather than in an updo as it was in the movie. | |

Adaptational Badass | |
| Casino Royale (2006) / int_736d791f | comment |
Adaptational Badass: Surprisingly, Bond doesn't actually kill anyone in the original novel, his first two kills being mentioned in passing. The film has him kill and severely brutalise multiple people. During the torture scene, Bond uses mental strategies to survive and passes out and is awoken to more torture. In the film, he survives through sheer physical endurance, even making flippant comments to Le Chiffre. | |

Throwing Your Gun at the Enemy: A Mad Bomber, upon realising his gun is empty, throws his gun at James Bond. Bond promptly catches it and throws it back. Into his face. They are both on a very tall crane, but luckily this doesn't send the bomber plummeting to his doom. | |

Cunning People Play Poker: The plot concerns the newly minted Double-O agent James Bond as he faces off against the devious terrorist financier Le Chiffre in a high stakes poker game. Le Chiffre proves to be a formidable match for Bond as he not only manages to get him knocked out of the tournament briefly, but also manages to have him and love interest Vesper nearly killed several times away from the table. | |

Road Trip Across the Street: Played for laughs. After playing poker with Dimitrios at the Ocean Club, Bond invites Solange Dimitrios back to his place for a drink. She asks him if it's close, he assures her it is, and they set off. Seconds later, he parks the car — back at the Ocean Club, which is also where he's staying. Making it funnier is the staff member saying "Good evening, sir and welcome back." | |

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Discussed by Vesper; if Bond loses the poker game, there's a chance that the British government might wind up financing terrorism, particularly if Le Chiffre wins. It turns out that this happens after all when Mr. White ends up recovering the winnings. Bond probably shouldn't have shot out the inflatable supports to the building in Venice. | |

Tragic Hero: It's written basically as a tragedy, showing Bond's downward spiral of failure and futility. As a spy, he's clearly in over his head and only succeeds in a technical sense through sheer luck and outside intervention. It's only after he loses everything, including Vesper, that he embraces his profession as a super-spy, and also a determination to avenge her. | |

Artistic Licence – Law: Business seems to continue as usual at Miami International Airport even as Bond chases Carlos around the tarmac. In real life, any explosion or suspected terrorist activity would lead to the authorities locking down the airport, ordering all aircraft on the tarmac to be grounded, and all incoming flights diverted. Security seems to be very lax, too: when Carlos sets off the metal detector at the security checkpoint, the TSA agent wands him down with a handheld metal detector. This would not occur in real life. If someone sets off the metal detector, they would be patted down by the TSA agent. Also, the keys he hands the agent would be sent through the X-ray machine. | |

Reality Is Unrealistic | |
| Casino Royale (2006) / int_85557b38 | comment |
Nearly mathematically impossible, yes, but ask any professional card player about their worst bad bet, and it'll sound almost exactly like Le Chiffre's. The odds of someone with aces full (or, better, quad aces) losing a hand are very low, and yet it happens. What's more, it's more likely to happen in Texas Hold 'Em because of how the game works. Given the cards that came up in the last hand, it would have been very difficult for any player in that last hand to fold, especially if they were low on chips. | |

It retains some Broad Strokes, keeping Judi Dench as M and the post-Cold War scenario from the Pierce Brosnan films, though now she misses the Cold War, when agents had the decency to defect after a big mistake, rather than seeing Bond as a relic of that era. | |

Arrested for Heroism | |
| Casino Royale (2006) / int_97b88de9 | comment |
Arrested for Heroism: Subverted. A terrorist puts a small detonator on a fuel truck with the intention of blowing up an airliner. En route, James Bond fights with the terrorist (causing several crashes), but he gets away and a bruised and bloody Bond barely manages to stop the truck before stumbling out and being arrested while the terrorist looks on not too far away. But when he triggers the detonator, he finds out that Bond found the bomb and pinned it on the terrorist. Cut to Bond smirking when the terrorist blows himself up. | |

Character Tics: Le Chiffre tends to place his fingers on his temple when he lies or bluffs, to still his nervous twitch (a minor plot point). Also, when particularly stressed, his medical condition — leaking blood from his left tear duct — kicks in. | |

Inopportune Impersonation Failure: James Bond and Vesper Lynn are eavesdropping on Le Chiffre in the corridor outside his hotel room when Obanno bursts out in a huff, forcing Bond and Lynn into a Fake-Out Make-Out so they won't look suspicious. For a moment, the ruse works perfectly, and Obanno passes them by without concern... but then Obanno's henchman notices that Bond forgot to remove his earpiece. Cue fight to the death. | |

Foreshadowing | |
| Casino Royale (2006) / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: In the opening credits, a crosshair moves over a card illustration of the queen of hearts, briefly showing Vesper's face. While it does tell the viewer that Vesper will become the true love of Bond's life, pay attention to what's below the reversed image of this card. It's a spade, which typically represents death. At the end of the movie, Vesper commits suicide. Bond was only able to defeat Dimitrios in Poker because he had the absolute nuts (best possible hand) before the river card was even drawn. As noted on the YMMV page, Bond getting knocked from the tournament is treated by Vesper as a result of his reckless behaviour, when in fact he was making a very sound judgment call in assuming he would win the hand. It makes sense upon subsequent viewings why Vesper would refuse to buy him back into the game, and it's not because he's reckless. Even though both Bond and Vesper are being tortured harshly for the info on the account that the money is in after the card game, only Bond has to spend any time recuperating from it. In fact, he sees Vesper and Mathis standing over his bed when he's still in a haze. It seems likely that Vesper wasn't tortured at all, since she was in on the scheme to get the money. | |

The Password Is Always "Swordfish": Subverted.

And later played straight, when Bond uses the numbers corresponding to "Vesper" as a password — the name of the woman he's got on his side. | |

Nice to the Waiter: Throughout the film, Bond is shown tipping porters, waiters and drivers serving him. As noted under Parking Payback, Bond crashes the car of a Jerkass guest who'd treated him rudely in the belief that he is a hotel valet. Perhaps the biggest example of this is when Bond wins the poker game and slides one of the red plaques to the dealer as a tip. Bear in mind that said red plaques are worth half a million dollars. | |

The dealer inserts the players' hole cards onto the community (board) cards to illustrate the various hands, once again, to increase the tension. In real life, this would cause confusion as to which cards were on the board and which ones belonged to the player; the proper procedure is to keep the hole cards separate from the board (which he did with previous hands). | |

Artistic Licence Pharmacology: Played With. This trope seemingly is played straight with the scene where Le Chiffre's girlfriend slips the poison in Bond's drink. The substance he is poisoned with, digitalis, generally takes several hours to manifest, by which point the salt and water emesis which Bond attempts would have been ineffective. It continues to be played straight as Bond is in tachycardia with a heart rate of 135 BPM; digitalis poisoning generally causes bradycardia or slowing of heart rate. However, the trope is played with and averted in the end, as severe digitalis toxicity can, in fact, produce tachycardia. | |

Stupid Evil | |
| Casino Royale (2006) / int_affd30b0 | comment |
Stupid Evil: Le Chiffre's scheme — short-sell company stocks, then stage terrorist attacks on those companies to drive them into bankruptcy while he makes a fortune — has some problems to it. Namely, he finances it by dipping into his clients' money. His heavily armed, very dangerous clients who have no problem killing or torturing people to achieve their goals. Thus, when Bond sabotages his scheme on the Skyfleet plane, Le Chiffre loses $101.2 million in terrorists' money, and is forced to set up a poker tournament at Casino Royale in Montenegro to recover it, a game that is infiltrated by agents from MI6 and the CIA who want to bankrupt Le Chiffre to get him to seek asylum with one of them. And Le Chiffre himself gets attacked and threatened by a pissed-off client who has suddenly found himself out of pocket (and he very deliberately ordered Le Chiffre earlier to not invest his money into high risk ventures). He'd have avoided this whole issue if he simply created a private fund to deal solely with his dirty venture, just in case something goes wrong, one of his schemes is discovered and foiled, and he loses money. He probably wouldn't be able to invest as much, but he would at least avoid making his clients get affected by something they were not involved in. This is what gets him killed—Mr. White cared less about the money, and more that Le Chiffre couldn't be trusted. It is entirely possible that even if Le Chiffre had won the tournament, Quantum still would have killed him for even playing with his clients' money in such a reckless way; Mr. White and his organisation recommended Le Chiffre to his clientele, and his scheme damaged their reputation. | |

Bottomless Magazines: Inverted with the Heckler & Koch USP Compact used by Mollaka. With the 13-round magazine (he's using the 9mm version); he uses six on the bulldozer Bond is driving, then one each on a pair of construction workers, which should leave him with five shots remaining when Bond catches up to him on the crane. Even then the slide has not locked back to indicate the magazine is empty. | |

Truer to the Text | |
| Casino Royale (2006) / int_b552b24 | comment |
Truer to the Text: It is the third adaptation of Casino Royale after the 1954 one-hour episode of the anthology series Climax! and the 1967 spoof. It's much more faithful to the novel than the bizarre 1967 film, though various things are changed due to the Setting Update, and some Adaptation Expansion occurs, with an Origin Story for Bond, a protracted climax in Venice, and many additional action scenes. | |

Too Dumb to Live: Carter keeps putting his hand to his ear, thus giving himself away. When he tries to give chase to the bomber who he spooked by doing this, he trips and nearly falls victim to the cobra and mongoose. Carlos doesn't realise that the time bomb he was going to destroy a plane with was attached to his belt despite the fact that it was beeping, until it's too late. Needless to say it doesn't work out for him. | |

These Hands Have Killed: Vesper Lynd goes through this during her Shower of Angst, after she's involved with Bond's confrontation with the African warlords. She didn't actually kill anyone, even indirectly (in fact, the action she's angsting over is technically the act of saving Bond's life), but she still has the symptoms. It's also possible foreshadowing that she's in league with the bad guys and is feeling some guilt bubbling up. | |

Czech Airlines (CSA) planes are seen during the Miami International Airport chase sequence where Bond is chasing down the bomber. Czech Airlines does not fly to the United States. Although it once had transatlantic flights, it has never flown to Miami. There is a wide abundance of American Airlines planes at MIA in real life, but there are no AA planes to be seen at all in the film. Both of these are due to the fact that parts of the sequence were filmed at Prague's RuzynÄ› International Airport. | |

Big Bad Wannabe: Le Chiffre is introduced as a financier for criminal gangs like Al-Qaeda and the Lord's Resistance Army. Despite this, a risky bet causing him to lose the money reveals him as little more than a well-paid Smug Snake, as shown when he is left squirming from two terrorists threatening him if he fails to get the money back. After losing to Bond in a high-stakes poker game, he's reduced to a desperate state and decides to just torture Bond to get the money, and when 007 refuses, he totally loses it and decides to kill him in a fit of anger. Then Mr. White, tired of Le Chiffre's repeated failures, suddenly bursts in and clips him with half an hour of the film still left to go. | |

Just Plane Wrong | |
| Casino Royale (2006) / int_ce1c73e2 | comment |
Just Plane Wrong: Czech Airlines (CSA) planes are seen during the Miami International Airport chase sequence where Bond is chasing down the bomber. Czech Airlines does not fly to the United States. Although it once had transatlantic flights, it has never flown to Miami. There is a wide abundance of American Airlines planes at MIA in real life, but there are no AA planes to be seen at all in the film. Both of these are due to the fact that parts of the sequence were filmed at Prague's RuzynÄ› International Airport. The Skyfleet prototype airliner is said to be "the largest in the world", but the example onscreen is no bigger than a standard 747 jumbo jet. This makes its status as "largest airliner" an Informed Attribute. note The aircraft was in fact a re-dressed 747-200. Also, in fairness, the high-angle cinematography does make it look quite enormous (at least to a layman) to back up the Informed Attribute | |

In a less lethal example, before the poker game Bond gives Vesper a dress, stating that it is so she can draw the other players' attention from their cards to her. When she does this later, Bond ends up being more distracted than the rest of them. Gettler is killed with the nail gun he used against Bond moments earlier in the climax | |

Race Lift: Felix Leiter (a blond white Texan in the novels) is black in this movie and in Quantum of Solace (played by Jeffrey Wright). Leiter had previously been played by white actors in the EON films, although the non-canonical Never Say Never Again also had a black Leiter, played by Bernie Casey. Le Chiffre himself is suspected by the British Secret Service to be Jewish in the original Ian Fleming novel (Peter Lorre — the 1954 TV version of Le Chiffre — was Jewish as well). In the 2006 film, they think he might be Albanian, while Mads Mikkelsen is Danish. | |

All Girls Want Bad Boys: Deconstructed with Solange, who married Dimitrios and suffered through a loveless, unhappy marriage. Out of spite, she hooks up with Bond, lamenting as she does that she had "so many chances to be happy" with "nice guys," but keeps on being drawn to "bad men" like them instead. Later in the film, her association with the man who helped orchestrate the bomb plot (Dimitrios) and the man who foiled it (Bond) are what gets her tortured to death. | |

Two Decades Behind | |
| Casino Royale (2006) / int_dc26326 | comment |
Two Decades Behind: Definitely an example of Pandering to the Base. The recipe for the Martini variant Bond names after Vesper Lynd is taken word-for-word from the novel. The problem is, Lillet stopped making one of its ingredients, Kina Lillet, in 1986, replacing it with a reformulated Lillet (sans the quinine that gave it the "Kina" part of the name) called Lillet Blanc. Not only that, Diageo dropped the alcohol content of Gordon's Gin by about ten percent in 1992, meaning shaking it with ice (originally meant to drop the sky-high proof to something more palatable) would turn it into the "weak martini" President Bartlett decries the Tuxedo and Martini. But the film is set in the present-day, and mentions Kina Lillet by name (this also shows up in Quantum of Solace). | |

Chekhov's Gunman: When Bond improvises his drink order (for what more dedicated fans will know is a Vesper Martini), several other players ask for the same thing. Only one player changes anything about the order, telling the barman to prepare his martini without the fruit. He later reveals himself as James Bond's brother from Langley. | |

Artistic Licence: The poker game's final hand: The maths checks out on everyone's all-ins amounting to 115m. However, Bond wagered $40.5 million, whereas Le Chiffre goes all-in with $39.5 million. Professional poker players will almost never wager any more than their opponent's total pot if making an all-in bet, mainly because the extra 1m in the pot would just go back to Bond to begin with (so the amount in the pot is actually 114m). However, it increases the tension in the scene quite well. Bond made the final raise, so he should've been the first to show his cards. Instead he shows his hand last, again to increase the tension. The dealer inserts the players' hole cards onto the community (board) cards to illustrate the various hands, once again, to increase the tension. In real life, this would cause confusion as to which cards were on the board and which ones belonged to the player; the proper procedure is to keep the hole cards separate from the board (which he did with previous hands). Also, based on the amount of chips in the pot, and the ultimate stakes, Bond's all-in raise would be counted down by the dealer or the tournament director to see if his count was accurate. Le Chiffre's would be as well, to see if it was 40.5 to 39.5 million respectively. Also, in this hand, and the earlier hand when Bond wins the Aston Martin, it's against protocol to just shove your stacks in the middle of the pot without being counted down first. The player can certainly state all-in, and declare their stack size, but still, it's counted to make sure that one person is covered, or if it's a "chip and a chair scenario, where the loser of the pot isn't eliminated, but is left severely crippled in chip counts after the hand. The chips would also be split up into separate pots, in case the lower stacked all in playyers won the hands. They'd only collect the chips equal to the amount of their bets. I.E., the five million all-in player would only get 20 million in total (five million from the other three players, and his original five million stake) if he had won the hand. | |

This really was alleged to have happened in Real Life as people noted seemingly suspicious stock trading the day before 9/11, but a thorough investigation by the FBI amongst others concluded there was no Al-Qaeda connection. | |

Television Geography | |
| Casino Royale (2006) / int_e022585 | comment |
Television Geography: Shortly after Bond arrives in Nassau, he drives along a lovely Bahamian ocean road past some sort of charming open-air food market, toward the Ocean Club. note In real life, that road doesn't actually exist as shown, and the nearest coastal roads that match the distance given on his GPS certainly aren't that close to the beach, and the owners probably wouldn't allow those markets in such an upscale location. The beach is clearly on nearby New Providence Island, but he looks at his GPS, then drives past Compass Pointnote You can tell by the distinctive colorful wall. There's also some schoolgirls in the wide driving shot, and Compass Point is a few minutes walk from a local primary school. (still New Providence), then arrives at the Ocean Club (Paradise Island), which is a half-hour away and across a bridge. West Bay St. matches the GPS pretty exactly, but it's by Compass Point, not the Ocean Club. note And also he'd be travelling in the wrong direction for the scenery. And also there's basically nothing on that road but homes, hotels, and retail. And also Paradise Island would be visible as he's driving along the road, if the GPS location was accurate. The establishing shot of Montenegro is a high-speed train Bond uses to get to the casino, something Montenegrin audiences found rather amusing; Montenegro has no high-speed railway, and their trains are mostly leftover Yugoslav and Romanian engines from the '80s. The casino and its surroundings were in fact filmed in Karlovy Vary, Czech Republic. | |

He's just about to castrate Bond when Mr. White shoots Kratt and Valenka offscreen, then walks through the door to shoot Le Chiffre in the head. | |

Euphemistic Names | |
| Casino Royale (2006) / int_ee4347b9 | comment |
Euphemistic Names: In a joke over the franchise's use of the trope, Bond and Vesper Lynd (a Punny Name but not an example of the trope) start going over their cover identities. Bond tells Vesper her cover name is "Miss Stephanie Broadchest", prompting her to interrupt, "I am not!" We never actually find out for certain whether it's her real cover name or if he's just pulling her leg. | |

Anti-Climax | |
| Casino Royale (2006) / int_eeb4a5eb | comment |
Anti-Climax: The start of the film has Bond on a mission to take out a Section Chief leaking MI6 secrets. Dryden's contact provides one of the more intense one-on-one fights in the series, but Dryden is defeated simply by having his bullets stolen by Bond before he even makes it to the office. | |

Distracted by the Sexy: Invoked. Bond has a gown delivered for Vesper with a neckline verging on Navel-Deep Neckline "so when you walk up behind me and kiss me on the neck, the players will be thinking about your neckline and not about their cards." She gets him back for it a few minutes later by having a custom-tailored tuxedo delivered for him, much to his disbelief. | |

Evil Plan | |
| Casino Royale (2006) / int_f2d8e3c2 | comment |
Evil Plan: Le Chiffre short-sells successful companies and engineers terrorist attacks in order to sink their stock values and turn a profit. The other bad guys are his superiors and clients who are pissed because he is doing this with their funds and behind their back. Bond screws up Le Chiffre's plan by foiling a terrorist attack and Le Chiffre has to hold and win a multi-million dollar poker tournament to pay his clients back. Bond is there to win it to force Le Chiffre to sell out his clients and superiors to MI6 in return for sanctuary before the other villains track him down and kill him. | |

Product Placement | |
| Casino Royale (2006) / int_f511ea9b | comment |
Product Placement: Lots, especially for Sony. The most bizarre one has to be the hotel in the Bahamas storing its surveillance camera footage on Blu-Ray discs... Vesper brings up Bond's watch when evaluating his personality, to which he corrects her Rolex guess to Omega. The marketing for the film also included Omega ads involving Bond. On a meta level, this serves as a take that to Rolex, who's Submariner (actually from Sean Connery's personal collection) was previously the most identifiable "Bond watch" until the Omega Seamaster. Gets a little funnier since the release of Skyfall, as Severine's actress Bérénice Marlohe is a brand ambassador for the watchmakers. Aston Martin, both in the DB5 he gets in a poker game (also present in the original movie) and the shiny brand-new DBS he gets from M. Bond drives a Ford to his hotel in the Bahamas. Several Land/Range Rovers are seen throughout the film. A scene at the beginning of the movie even has several dirty Land Rover Defenders, and the only clean part of these cars is the plaque on the hood that says 'Defender'. | |

A Real Man Is a Killer | |
| Casino Royale (2006) / int_f5e59782 | comment |
A Real Man Is a Killer: It's revealed that secret agents are only promoted to 00 status after being ordered to assassinate two targets (killing without intention to or in self-defence/heat of battle doesn't apparently count, otherwise MI6 would be loaded with 00 agents). This is also a plot point in the original novel, in which Le Chiffre is James Bond's third target; the film suggests the first two targets are Bond's first kills ever, while the books are ambiguous on this point. On the other hand, Bond's SBS and other military experience would suggest that he has killed before. | |

Dark and Troubled Past | |
| Casino Royale (2006) / int_fed93e1b | comment |
Dark and Troubled Past: Heavily implied with Bond. After Vesper performs a Sherlock Scan, she comments that his immediate assumption that she's an orphan is because he himself is one, and while he clearly had private education, he's likely from a poor background, so it was only by the grace of someone's charity. She also believes that the other students never let him forget this, hence the reason for why he has such a massive chip on his shoulder. | |

Overcomplicated Menu Order | |
| Casino Royale (2006) / int_ff13573f | comment |
Overcomplicated Menu Order: The film puts a twist on the usual James Bond martini by having him order one consisting of: "Three measures of Gordon's, one of vodka, half a measure of Kina Lillet. Shake it over ice and add a thin slice of lemon peel." And after three of the other people at the table decide they want one too (with Leiter telling the waiter to hold the fruit), Le Chiffre sarcastically wonders aloud if anyone's interested in playing poker instead of drinking. This is also a Mythology Gag to a specific scene in the books. Bond's order is recreated exactly, right down to the waiter's pleased expression. | |
