Complete List of James Bond Tricks?

loneiguana

I've been recently finished a 'complete' list of James Bond tools and tricks (loneiguana.org/bond) but I doubt I got them all. I would love feedback from the best: you guys! Thanks

Napoleon Plural

Employs reverse psychology on Red Grant by pretending to be eager to open his attache case, making Grant suspicious and getting him to open it himself.

Napoleon Plural

Locked in a cell in GF, he arouses the guard's suspicions and dips out of view. Guard opens door, curious, cell seems open. Bond drops on top of him from above, pandemonium ensues.

LALD - rigs the pack of cards so Solitaire loses her virginity to him.

NSNA - plank in floor rises up on stairwell, tripping over assailant.

AVTAK - recorded conversation with him and Tibbet fools eavedroppers while he and his man nip outside on the balcony for a chat. Seemingly borrowed from Kananga in LALD.

Brilliant! Thanks so much!

in Octopussy, seeing that Kamal had loaded dice (so that he kept getting a double 6)

Added! Thanks

Sorry to revive an old thread but thought it better than starting a new one.

That thing Bond does with his shoelace to climb up the mountain in FYEO - would that actually work? If so, how? -{

I think it's known as a " Prusik knot " .

This is in the FRWL Novel, but Bond puts his Cigarette Case in his Breast Pocket. This in turn stops Grants Bullet -{

Thunderpussy

and in the movie, Grant removes it from his jacket so Bond will
Have to come up with another escape. )

{[] TP, that was fascinating - not sure I will ever have the need for it but at least I now know!

Thunderpussy

You never know C&D, might come in handy, and all thanks to 007 ! -{

I suppose Bond passing Scaramanga's Bullet through his Digestive System could be a Trick )

hehadlotsofguts

Ripping out the lining of his pockets in OHMSS to make gloves to escape Piz Gloria on the cable car wires.

I've always understood it like this:

Bond is very eager to open the case himself because he knows there is a gun in it he could use to shoot Grant. Grant noticed Bond’s exitement and demands to open the case himself which is also a good outcome for Bond.

I'm with Napoleon on this. It's pretty clear that Bond is using reverse psychology by the look on his face - you know that Grant isn't going to let him open it himself. And as for the gun, it would take Bond several seconds assemble the rifle, assuming it was still in the case at that point - making a highly unlikely weapon.

It's a brilliant Scene leading up to a brilliant Fight -{

Thunderpussy

I was thinking the other day ( I do from time to time) that that fight on the train
Must have had the same effect on a 60s audience as the first hard hitting Tarantino
Film did for a modern audience, as it was very gritty/violent when compared to
Other films of that era. brilliant stuff, still one of the best fight sequences ever
Filmed. -{

AlphaOmegaSin

Much agreed -{ It's still hard to top.

I'm not talking about the AR7 rifle. I'm talking about the automatic pistol that is in the case of the real Nash. (Bond opens Nash' case before going to the restaurant car and the pistol is on top). Bond could have just grabbed the gun and shot Grant through the lid.
