Skyfall Further Flaws

Anyone noticed when Bond gets shot by Patrice while he is sat in the Excavator on the train he takes schrapnel to his right chest. This further backed up in the shooting assessment as he clutches his right side, You also see this as the blood mark appears on his Tom Ford suit. Obviously Bond os then shot by Eve to his left shoulder. Bond later removes the shrapnel from to wound on his left where Eve shot him and asks it be analiyzed. In the scene where his body is in the water why is his suit so dark as it tolls in the current, a light grey suit would go darker but not the Dark Navy colour you see.

Only My opinion of course but it's like pulling the thread on a jumper, soon there's
No jumper left.
An example for me would be the purge films, I think they're great but if I was to sit
Back and think about it ..... They set in a very silly world. The whole idea just doesn't
Make sense
I do agree his suit in the river looks very dark, but they probably just threw on a
Primark suit and shoved a dummy over the falls.
And I thought Eve's bullet entered lower down in the lower rib area on the right side.
For the people who want to find something wrong with SF, the most obvious error is Silva been grossly deformed from a cyanide pill. Potassium cyanide isn't an acid (or a base). It'll kill you in sufficient quantity but it doesn't destroy tissue. I think Mendes was looking for a WTF moment (as well as a tip of the hat to Fleming's deformed villains) and he threw logic out the window.
The mistake with the fuel rods from Dr No.
I blame Logan for these errors. The director can only do so much when the dialogue and motion dictate the scene. As you say Pussy, the more you think about it, the more it falls apart!
That's pretty much how I saw it -{
" Well, it's only four ribs, and some of the less vital organs ! "
Hydrogen Cyanide
Synonyms: Hydrocyanic acid; Prussic acid; Formonitrile; HCN
Health Factors:
Potential Symptoms: Asphyxia and death at high levels, preceded by seizures, coma with abolished deep reflexes and dilated pupils, paralysis; weakness; dizziness; numbness; tremor; loss of visual acuity; headaches; nausea, vomiting; loss of appetite, weight loss; increased rate and depth of respiration, or slow and gasping respiration; eye irritation; rash, chemical burns on skin; enlargement of thyroid gland
Health Effects: Acute Systemic Toxicity (HE4); Cumulative systemic toxicity---weight loss (HE3); Irritation-Eyes, Skin---skin
Affected Organs: CNS, cardiovascular system, thyroid, eyes, skin.
I also assumed that the pill didn't kill him because it had been defective in some way. Though he said it burned his insides, and OSHA states it can cause burns in a high dose, he may have just said this to over dramatize what it did (Silva was certainly big on over dramatizing). It's also possible that even if the cyanide did only minor tissue damage in his mouth, his captors may have tortured him further by not medically treating him which could have resulted in causing pervasive dental disease and bone tissue rotting. Also, people who have survived cyanide poisoning can have brain damage, which would explain some of Silva's extreme behavior.
Seriously? These are all non issues. As people point out, you see Bond in the mirror when he takes the shrapnel out. And light grey turns to almost black when only a couple of meters underwater, it's not about suit colour, but the way colour and light is filtered out by water. As he wore the same suit for the underwater scenes what you see is correct 8-) Actually, depending on material, even if you just wet a light grey suit, it can alter the colour drastically without the colour filtration water effect.
All over the world, getting shot at etc. Yet he never notices the
Camera crew following him around filming everything .
I simply dont agree. Mirror or not you can clearly tell from the scar its to bond left hand side and as for the suit its way too dark for your illusion of light and water explanation although a better explanation would be its saturated in blood. But just to try your theory I did wash my light grey suit jacket today and used natural light and a torche and neither made it look dark blue.
But did you use a Tom Ford suit or a cheap suit ?
I hope you took pictures for comparison and proof ? You would be looking with the naked eye and not on a digital print...or is all this just to get a reaction/argument ?
;% whoops, I was trying to be unobtrusive!
Pics no sorry I have a life thanks. A reaction? no. Onne acts on the facts, the explanation offered was rediculous and I took the response t.o my origonal posts to be combatitive rather than diplomatic it lacked decorum to dismiss the points I made by writting "seriously?, these are non issues". Simply because someone did not agree.
Look at the decorum of Thunderpussys response by what then followed by asp9mm. Just because your writting on a web forum does not mean you forget manners and respond with distain. Offer an opinion dont treat people with contempt because you think you know better, maybe Thunderpussy can show him how to type with courtesy
Bond removes the shrapnel from his left side? Let's review the evidence:
Please, no more of this: take it to PMs if you have to.
(Although you are quite correct about Thunderpussy, a true gentleman)
Although he did in OHMSS and NSNA at one point in each!
Breaking the fourth wall as it were. And then there was the small matter of those seeds hitting the camera in the ninja scenes in YOLT and the film crew on the back of the fire truck in AVTAK!
Seriously ?
I thought you liked 'hard evidence' though ?
At the very least I thought you would have supported your claims with this 'hard evidence'...?..
In the river with the "white" water and splashing. So they may have used
A darker suit on purpose as it registered better on " Digital ". For the
Falling over the falls sequence ?
Apparently there was a lack of clarity in my previous post. By all means feel free to discuss the suit issue. Sir Miles wasn't being warned about anything at all so there's no "we".
I was advising you not to further a public argument with a fellow member.
Not really sure where you are heading with this ?
You said you did a comparison test and then you start tossing names of people that you may or may not know about....IF you had this 'information' then why not lead with it ? It just makes me question your motives....and we REALLY shouldn't start with this 'I know someone that worked on the wardrobe'
I merely asked if you took pics to back up your claim...as you said you prefer to deal with facts...you didn't provide any so for some of us it's just conjecture on your part...
I'm not looking to argue - just to clarify....I'm always available via PM for further discussion -{
