Back in 2006 as I was waiting for Casino Royale to start I was standing in a long line outside a cinema in Bedford guzzling a large Coke. Unfortunately within 10 minutes of the film starting my bladder was screaming at me. Somehow I managed to last throughout the entire film without leaving the cinema to go for a pee.
It's the simplest thing... to cause more pain than a man can possibly endure.
Civilian collateral damage in a Bond action sequence... that was new. The construction worker who falls, to his death, presumably... and later the worker at Miami Airport.
Critics and material I don't need. I haven't changed my act in 53 years.
This footchase was the first truly satisfying Bond experience I'd had in the cinema at the time when I first saw this film. My only previous Bond cinema experience had been Die Another Day (which isn't a great start!)
The thing that impressed me the most was that it was done so much 'for real' and one really got the sense of the height in the scenes on the steel beams and the cranes. Really impressive stuntwork and cinematography!
The bad guy shooting at Bond driving the big construction vehicle smashing towards him is very similar to the SF PTS...but for some reason the windows of this are bullet proof here—Must have given Bond a false sense of security in construction vehicle windows.
To think some said Bond is "massacering" an embassy in this scene and it's racist
He's actually risking his life to avoid killing any of the embasssy staff.
Wouldn’t it be funny if once in a movie someone shooting a gas/fuel canister had a realistic reaction and didn’t explode...Bond would’ve definitely been in a pinch

Loved it. Got the box set of the whole series.
Yes, listen to the title song from QoS
An exceptionally good performance in a well-written part.
SBS! Our man’s a navy boy.
Carter in this, Mitchel in QoS. Subtle Stargate reference?
Dalton - the weak and weepy Bond!
I assume the stunt men on the cranes had cable harnesses?!
I'm going with Vesper's later hunch about his background.

Moore and Macnee's fight in Zorin's chateau in AVTAK.
No argument here
CGI used the right way to paint them out
But of course

I think he's saying "Laissez tomber" (?sp) (let it be)
