The one that started it all.Dr. No is the first film in the Eon Productions James Bond series and the first cinematic adaptation of Ian Fleming's literary hero (based off the novel of the same name), directed by Terence Young and starring Sean Connery. Monty Norman composed the score, and John Barry arranged what would become the franchise's iconic theme. It came out on October 7, 1962 in the UK and had limited releases in the US in 1963.After a British agent and his secretary are murdered in Jamaica and their files about the mysterious Dr. No are stolen, MI6 sends their best agent, James Bond, codename 007, to investigate.As the first film of the series, Dr. No was produced on a low budget, and it lacked some of the traits that would become iconic about the franchise, but it nonetheless set the groundwork.Followed by From Russia with Love.

The Millstone
 Dr. No / int_121476bd
comment
Oddly enough, she isn't widely hated among James Bond fans, partly because she was the first main Bond Girl, but she really is the single most superfluous Bond girl in the entire film series—yet is consistently ranked as the best, a position clearly earned solely because she's the first and still very attractive. The film makers were usually pretty good in making the Bond girls in the series of at least some nominal importance to the plot of each film (even if, in the case of Mary Goodnight, their only importance is as The Millstone), but Honey is of no importance whatsoever. She shows up late in the film, tags along, and does nothing of any consequence. The film takes the time to give her the same backstory from the novel (Dr. No killed her father, she received all her education by reading the whole encyclopedia, she murdered her rapist, etc.) but again, none of that has any impact on the rest of the film. She exists solely to be the Damsel in Distress (and even that comes across as an afterthought) and for Fanservice. The latter, Ursula Andress does very, very well, which is the third reason she isn't widely hated.

Ripped from the Headlines
 Dr. No / int_1616e13
comment
Ripped from the Headlines: Francisco de Goya's Portrait Of The Duke Of Wellington can be seen hanging on the wall in Dr. No's lair; Bond clearly recognises the painting. In Real Life, this had been stolen from the National Gallery in London in August 1961, several months before filming began — so the clear implication in the film is that Dr. No was responsible for the theft note  Ken Adam, the film's Production Designer, had the idea to include this little detail and painted the copy over a weekend after getting a slide of the original from the National Gallery; the copy was later used for publicity for the film but, like the original, it was stolen while on display. The painting was returned in 1965.

Adaptational Job Change: For Dr. No: In the novel, he works for SMERSH. In the film, he works for SPECTRE. He has just as much disdain for the East and the West, as they both rejected his services. In the novel, he was a medical doctor. In the film, he's a nuclear physicist. In the novel, he dealt in bird guano as his cover story. In the film, he runs a bauxite mine.

Red Right Hand: Dr. No's mechanical metal hands. Although they're moderately maneuverable and super strong in the film, they're little more than crude pincers in the novel. Their explanation differs between book and film. In the book, his hands were cut off by the Tong; in the film, they were damaged in his radiation experiments.

Mythology Gag
 Dr. No / int_26ac510e
comment
Mythology Gag: Dr. No chastises Bond for trying to attack him with a bottle of Dom Perignon '55, to which Bond says "I prefer the '53, myself." This refers to the fact that the third Bond novel, Moonraker, was first published in 1955, while the first Bond novel, Casino Royale, was published in 1953. This gag gets echoed in The Man with the Golden Gun, as Bond arrives at Scaramanga's island, with Nick Nack offering Dom Perignon '64, with Bond saying "I prefer the '62, myself.", which referenced the fact that the third Bond film, Goldfinger, was released in 1964, while this first Bond film was released in 1962.

Mysterious Watcher: Bond is under surveillance from the moment he arrives at the airport in Jamaica—a pretty girl tries to take his photograph while a man in Sinister Shades observes him from a balcony. Bond later discovers that the girl is working for Dr No while the man in shades is his future ally, CIA agent Felix Leiter. He didn't approach Bond at the time because he saw him get in a car driven by one of Dr No's men and so wasn't sure which side Bond was on.

Cryptic Background Reference: M's line about Bond replacing his Beretta was a reference to the novel From Russia with Love (and the whole scene is part of a larger portion explaining why Bond is given an "easy task" in the novel, where the Strangways incident goes without attention for weeks before they act on it). Of course, its film adaptation wasn't released yet, rendering it referenceless.

Time Marches On
 Dr. No / int_397569de
comment
Time Marches On: Several months before the movie was made, Goya's "Portrait of the Duke of Wellington" had been stolen from the National Gallery in London. This was a very high-profile crime which saw the painting splashed across every newspaper, cinema newsreel and TV news broadcast, so a British movie-going audience in 1962 would have been quite familiar with it. In a moment of inspiration, Production Designer Ken Adam painted a copy and placed it very prominently in Dr. No's lair, and had Connery do a brief double-take as he passed it. According to the commentary track, this gag elicited a good thirty seconds of laughter from the theatrical audiences. Modern audiences don't even realize there's a joke there. Dr. No was considered new and shocking when it was made—not just for the violence of Bond shooting the unarmed Professor Dent, but for the style of editing it used. Cutting to and from movement and using fades as scene transitions had not been seen before. These editing tricks are old hat now, but there was a definite sense the movie gloried in "breaking the rules" back in the day.

Explosive Overclocking
 Dr. No / int_3eed59a8
comment
A lesser example of this trope, since the overloading of Dr. No's reactor doesn't produce a nuclear explosion (which Bond and Honey would never have had a prayer of surviving in a speedboat), but it does produce a big enough explosion to total No's complex and the surrounding area, something that wouldn't happen with even the most catastrophic meltdown (for comparison, the Real Life Chernobyl Disaster blew a big hole out of the roof out of Reactor No. 4, but left most of the building intact).

Damsel in Distress At the end of the movie, Honey Rider is manacled to a ramp in a pool and Bond must rescue her.

She knew the crabs were harmless, and let them swarm over her; her distressed attitude was over what would happen to Bond.

You Have Failed Me: Subverted; Dr. No deals with Professor Dent's failure to kill Bond simply by having him resort to an Animal Assassin and hope for the best. When that fails, he's lucky to be captured and killed by Bond during a subsequent attempt to deal with him personally.

Race Against the Clock: Leiter tells Bond the investigation has to go ahead before the next space programme launch, but it's never a major factor in the plot other than getting Bond and Quarrel to Crab Key. Bond tells Leiter that if he's not back in 12 hours, to send reinforcements. However, Bond is gone considerably longer than 12 hours, but there is no sign of such reinforcements arriving. (A scene in which Dr. No forced Bond to radio Leiter and call off the reinforcements ended up on the cutting room floor.)

"Scooby-Doo" Hoax: Bond is told that Dr. No keeps his private island "private" by the presence of a dangerous fire-breathing dragon that kills any trespassers on his property. It turns out to be a tank painted to look like a dragon, and armed with a flamethrower. Partly justified in that the tank doesn't show up until it gets dark, so it's harder to figure out its true nature.

Hong Kong Dub: Due to the large amount of dubbing that takes place (including every female character except Moneypenny), this inevitably tends to happen on occasion. The worst offender is the commander of the gunboat that opens fire on Bond, Honey and Quarrel, as not only is his dub very hit-or-miss, he even has the "bullhorn" effect on his voice when he's meant to be talking without it.

Interestingly, the novel has Honey as much less of a Load-she escapes from Dr. No's planned Death Trap without Bond's help, gives Bond helpful tips so he doesn't kill himself by accident on Crab Key (for example, drinking the island water could give you fever) and acts as a truly fantastic spotter as Bond drives the Dragon tank to safety.

Adaptational Modesty: Occurs during the iconic scene where Honey Ryder comes up out of the sea and walks up the beach. As generations of short-changed Bond fans have pointed out, in the novel, Honey Ryder is only wearing a diving mask and her knife belt when she emerges from the ocean. In the film, Ursula Andress wore a white bikini that has become associated with her character and the idea of the Bond girl as a symbol of glamuor, sophistication, sex appeal, and danger.

Air-Vent Passageway: Double-subverted. When Bond tries to escape his cell through the vent, he gets shocked when he touches the grill. However, he tries again by using his shoe to push it out and succeeds in escaping. As a nice touch, he experimentally taps the grill at the other end with his feet to make sure it isn't electrified. Justified in the novel, as it's designed to be a part of a Death Course. The reason it's so wide? It's not an air vent; it's a water vent, as Bond learns to his dismay.

Pragmatic Adaptation: A major reason why this was the first Bond story to be adapted is that many of the stories have Bond travelling all over the world, which would either require expensive location shooting or trying to stage the location in UK, which easily ends up looking cheap and unconvincing. The production company went with the former option, and Dr. No was deemed a relatively inexpensive story because Jamaica is the only location involved outside of the UK.

Bond responds by insulting him, so Dr. No orders his guards to torture him. The Trope Maker, to be codified in Goldfinger, which also provided the line the trope is punnily named from. Justified in this instance, since Dr. No is trying to understand Bond better.

Adaptation Explanation Extrication: In the novel, Honey collects seashells in the hopes of paying for the surgery to get her broken nose fixed. The film omits this, thus implying that she collects shells simply to make her living.

Hollywood Silencer
 Dr. No / int_7d53bc0b
comment
Hollywood Silencer: Bond and Professor Dent's handguns with silencers are whisper quiet when fired. But when Dent fires on an empty chamber, the "click" is much louder than the silenced gunshots. Downplayed during Strangways' assassination at the start of the film, as the Three Blind Mice's silenced pistols produce loud "thud" noises which are much more in line with (albeit still quieter than) how a real silencer would sound.

Establishing Character Moment
 Dr. No / int_7febc23b
comment
Establishing Character Moment: Bond himself gets no fewer than three. The gunbarrel sequence shows Bond as a badass agent who is always quickest on the draw. In the film proper, we first meet Bond at a casino, where he effortlessly wins a card game, gets a date with the beautiful Sylvia Trench, and then gives a massive tip to the doorman as he leaves, showcasing his love of risk, astonishing luck, womanizing, charm and the fact that he values the thrill of the game more than money. Plus there's the introduction of his iconic Catchphrase. Bond gunning down Professor Dent in cold blood was designed to illustrate to the audience exactly what a licence to kill meant, as in more than just a licence to kill in self-defence.

Mexican Standoff: Bond outwits Professor Dent by hiding behind the door while Dent attempts to kill him in his room. Bond has the assassin drop his gun on a rug and sit down while he interrogates the man. Bond would occasionally take a drink during the conversation, which the assassin used to slide his gun closer to him by dragging the rug. Eventually, the assassin regained his gun and pointed it at Bond, saying that they are now at a standstill, to which Bond casually shrugs and simply shot the guy. It should be noted that the assassin had used all of his bullets earlier shooting the bed which he believed contained Bond. As Bond knew this fact, it was easier for him to react calmly to a gun pointed at him.

What Happened to the Mouse?
 Dr. No / int_863fa679
comment
What Happened to the Mouse?: The "Three Blind Mice" assassins appear only three times in the movie: killing Strangways, killing his secretary, and taking the shot at Bond that gets spoiled by the car headlights. Then they simply vanish from the story, never to be seen again. (They were probably in the hearse that goes off the road, given that they had used it in the course of murdering Strangways, but they are not shown to be in it at that point. The omission is probably a result of the movie's budget and time crunches; there were some shots they simply did not have the chance to get, and that might include inserts of the Mice in the hearse.) This is a sharp contrast to later Bond films in which each movie's idiosyncratic assassin henchmen usually die on screen in interesting ways.

Misidentified Weapons
 Dr. No / int_89f2f8aa
comment
Misidentified Weapons: A minor but rather jarring moment from the otherwise quite good film. When the script reads, "That's a Smith & Wesson, and you've had your six!", it's probably a good idea to make sure the man Bond is saying this to is holding a revolver. Not a Colt M1911, one of the most recognizable semi-automatic pistols ever made and which almost everyone knows has a seven round magazine. And on top of this, Smith and Wesson didn't even manufacture a 1911 variant at the time. Even more perplexing is that Smith and Wesson revolvers were used later in the film, making it questionable why the props department chose to use a 1911 in the first place. This mistake is even more perplexing because after the 6th shot is fired, when Dent steps into the room, you can clearly see the slide locked back, showing that he IS out of rounds, and it would have been totally appropriate for Bond to point this out instead of the 'Smith and Wesson' line.

Tuckerization: This film marks the first appearance of the character Major Boothroyd (later played by Desmond Llewellyn and known simply as "Q"), based on fan and gun expert Geoffrey Boothroyd who informed Fleming the .25 Beretta 418 he had James Bond using was a wimpy ladies' pistol. (This also formed the basis for Bond's forced gun upgrade in the book and this movie.) The real-life Geoffrey Boothroyd appears in a vintage featurette on the Dr. No DVD and Blu-ray, in which he demonstrates the relative stopping powers of the two Bond guns, plus his own favourite, a Ruger .44 Magnum.

Guns Do Not Work That Way
 Dr. No / int_95ff52c7
comment
Guns Do Not Work That Way: A pair of scenes are taken almost verbatim from the novel, but with the guns replaced by ones that make no sense for the scenes in question. The alleged 6-shot Smith & Wesson Dent uses (which correctly should have been a revolver) is actually a suppressed 7+1 Colt 1911 automatic, the slide of which locks back after the sixth shot anyway, and then returns to battery on its own after it initially leaves Dent's hands. Additionally, Smith and Wesson didn't manufacture a 1911 at the time anyway. Especially strange because the production crew did have Smith and Wesson revolvers on hand. The Beretta M forces Bond to surrender is the M1934 in .380 ACP. In the books, Bond carried a 418 in .25 ACP, which got caught on his holster when he attached a suppressor, allowing his enemy to stab him with a poisoned blade (here, it's stated to have jammed). It's replaced by a Walther PP, in the same caliber, but is stated to be the shorter PPK in 7.65mm, which would in fact be inferior to the M1934. When he shoots Professor Dent, he is inexplicably using an FN 1910 in the calibre, with a (fake) suppressor mounted (the film's armourer could not find a suppressor that would fit the PP). He also simply twists and yanks the suppressor, whereas the threads are too fine for such an action.

Coup de Grâce
 Dr. No / int_98770aab
comment
Coup de Grâce: Bond's shooting of Professor Dent, who after being shot down receives an extra bullet in the back, for safety. (An act that does not occur in any of the novels.) Reportedly the original edit of the film had Bond shoot the man six times but this was considered excessive. Reportedly, this scene was added primarily to illustrate the "licenced to kill" aspect of the character given most other killings by Bond in the film were of the self-defence or "heat of battle" variety and not cold-blooded. The scene was controversial with Bond fans to the extent that nothing similar would be attempted again until Casino Royale (2006).

Little Useless Gun
 Dr. No / int_9f87b4fb
comment
Little Useless Gun: Bond originally carried a Beretta 418 (.25 calibre) before switching to his signature Walther PPK. Behind the scenes, the change happened after one Geoffrey Boothroyd – for whom the character who would become Q would be named – wrote to Fleming objecting to the use of the Beretta and, after some back-and-forth, suggested the Walther. The film version, ironically, gets it backwards; in that scene, Bond is instead turning in a Beretta 1934 in .380 ACP, which M continues to disparage as he proceeds to force Bond to use a lower-caliber weapon (not that it matters too much, since the actual Walther used in the film was the larger PP in the same caliber as the M1934). Calibre size is not the only reason he has to turn it in, at least, as his Beretta had jammed on him and he was wounded as a result (in the preceding book, From Russia With Love, it became stuck in a holster when Bond attached a suppressor to it, allowing him to be stabbed with a poisoned knife; this was not included in the film version, as the chronology was changed between films, what with Dr. No being the first one adapted).

Artistic Licence - Nuclear Physics: A lesser example of this trope, since the overloading of Dr. No's reactor doesn't produce a nuclear explosion (which Bond and Honey would never have had a prayer of surviving in a speedboat), but it does produce a big enough explosion to total No's complex and the surrounding area, something that wouldn't happen with even the most catastrophic meltdown (for comparison, the Real Life Chernobyl Disaster blew a big hole out of the roof out of Reactor No. 4, but left most of the building intact). It's not clear why Dr No would need a nuclear reactor to send radio signals to interfere with rockets.

I Did What I Had to Do: Bond invokes the trope after he knifes a guard and Honey gives him the What the Hell, Hero? treatment. Some latter-day reviews film point out that there is actually little plot justification for Bond killing this particular man, other than continuing to establish the "licence to kill" aspect of 007 in a way Ian Fleming never did in his books. (According to Word of God this is why Bond is shown murdering Professor Dent earlier in the film, again an event never depicted by Fleming.)

Just Between You and Me: A not too blatant example, since the US had worked out before the events of the film that their rockets were being toppled; they just didn't know who the culprit was, and Bond works out by himself that Dr. No is responsible. However, Dr. No also freely gives away the existence of SPECTRE, who Bond and, presumably, MI6 had been totally ignorant of until that point. In fairness, he only told him because he was trying to recruit him, and Russia and China definitely know because they keep doing business with them (No is on a mission for SPECTRE, but it is implied that they were hired by Red China; No even has an army of Chinese henchmen), so it's not so bad if half the world knows anyway. A subversion with Professor Dent. Bond asks him who he's working for, and Dent replies: "Well, you might as well know as you won't live to use the information. I'm working for-" before grabbing his gun and attempting to shoot Bond. Sadly for him, he's had his six.

Bottomless Magazines: Averted. Bond hides behind the door as Professor Dent fires several shots into blanket-covered pillows on the bed. Bond disarms him and the two converse, but Bond "carelessly" allows Dent to retrieve his dropped pistol — which clicks on an empty chamber. Bond doesn't even flinch and says "That's a Smith and Wesson, and you've had your six." before killing Dent.

We've been expecting you' to Bond. Though it's implied he's not sure, and is just trying to bluff anyone there into coming out.

Cool Guns: Bond uses an FN Model 1910 pistol to assassinate Professor Dent after "he's had his six". It is worth to note that the props department was unable to find a suppressor for Bond's PPK, so they had to use a Model 1910 with a fake suppressor that simply slid into the barrel instead. They were able to find an appropriate suppressor for the PPK in time for From Russia with Love. Quarrel takes a Colt Police Revolver to Crab Key. A henchman uses a Bren Gun to fire at Bond, Honey and Quarrel as they take cover behind a sand bank.

No Name Given The three black assassins are only known as "Three Blind Mice" after the song that plays in their introduction.

Indeed, although Fleming would do so in his books, the original M's full name would never be revealed in the films (his first name, Miles, would be uttered in The Spy Who Loved Me); not until Skyfall would an M's complete name be revealed.

What the Hell, Hero?: A bit of irony: Bond does this with Honey when she describes how she murdered a man who raped her by putting a black widow spider in his bed, causing him to die over the course of a week. "I wouldn't make a habit of it" he says, shocked. But later, after Bond somewhat unnecessarily stabs one of Dr. No's men to death, Honey acts shocked and asks why he had to kill the man.

Artistic Licence – Biology: Or possibly Science Marches On, depending on what they knew in the 1960s; tarantula venom is only about as powerful as a bee-sting, and certainly not fatal. Not to mention the black widow spider Honey uses to kill the man that raped her. Black widow bites are generally not lethal to healthy adults. However, the bite can be extremely, debilitatingly and agonizingly painful...

Dramatic Ammo Depletion: Professor Dent tries to assassinate James Bond while in his sleep. However, the 007 agent knew of this, and set up a fake dummy in his bed. Dent shoots the dummy 6 times, and the real Bond catches him. When Dent pulls his gun again and tries to shoot, the gun clicks empty, prompting James Bond to call him out on his mistake, and kill him.

Security Cling: Honey clings to Bond's arm when riding the elevator to Dr No's lair. In a variation, Bond readily admits that he's as scared as she is (given that it's the first Bond film, he's not as used to the idea of villains inviting him to dinner instead of just shooting him, so is feeling rather creeped out).

Bond Gun Barrel
 Dr. No / int_dabb67be
comment
The design of the opening credits is weird compared to the later formula. The Bond Gun Barrel is scored with electronic wheeps, with the Bond theme starting only after the shot, but this film's particular arrangement makes it sound out of order compared to the ones in later films. Then the circle becomes part of the still colourful and artistic credits. And given there's no theme song per se, at a certain point the music changes to a calypso rendition of "Three Blind Mice", culminating in the eponymous assassins changing from silhouettes to the movie characters. There are no silhouettes of naked women; instead we have silhouettes of fully clothed dancers (female and male), as well as the three actors portraying the aforementioned assassins.

Elaborate Underground Base: Dr. No has an elaborate nuclear facility but it's not clear that it was underground. Although fairly likely, given that it explicitly is in the book and in the film they dine in a glass-windowed room below the waterline and thus presumably underground as well.

Standard Female Grab Area: Justified; when Quarrel grabs photographer Annabelle Chung, he has her arm twisted up painfully behind her back, and the way her skin is taut after he forces her to sit with them shows he's gripping her other arm tightly. Far from stopping her resistance, she smashes a flashbulb across his face and won't talk even when Quarrel threatens to give her a broken arm. Honey is dragged off this way by the guard (though she's visibly struggling) and later Bond does this to the receptionist whom he forces to show him where the guards took Honey.

The Load
 Dr. No / int_e68b72
comment
The Load: Honey Rider Oddly enough, she isn't widely hated among James Bond fans, partly because she was the first main Bond Girl, but she really is the single most superfluous Bond girl in the entire film series—yet is consistently ranked as the best, a position clearly earned solely because she's the first and still very attractive. The film makers were usually pretty good in making the Bond girls in the series of at least some nominal importance to the plot of each film (even if, in the case of Mary Goodnight, their only importance is as The Millstone), but Honey is of no importance whatsoever. She shows up late in the film, tags along, and does nothing of any consequence. The film takes the time to give her the same backstory from the novel (Dr. No killed her father, she received all her education by reading the whole encyclopedia, she murdered her rapist, etc.) but again, none of that has any impact on the rest of the film. She exists solely to be the Damsel in Distress (and even that comes across as an afterthought) and for Fanservice. The latter, Ursula Andress does very, very well, which is the third reason she isn't widely hated. Interestingly, the novel has Honey as much less of a Load-she escapes from Dr. No's planned Death Trap without Bond's help, gives Bond helpful tips so he doesn't kill himself by accident on Crab Key (for example, drinking the island water could give you fever) and acts as a truly fantastic spotter as Bond drives the Dragon tank to safety.

Somewhere, an Entomologist Is Crying: Professor Dent tries to kill James Bond by putting a very large tarantula in his bed while he slept. Even if it bit him (it didn't), it would've just hurt a lot. Honey tells Bond that she killed her landlord after he raped her by putting a female black widow on his bed, and that it took the guy a week to die. She got very lucky: contrary to urban legend, black widow bites are rarely fatal to humans.
