    We are hearing Robert Reitty, wonder if we are seeing him too?

    No, not as far as I know

    Sellers is a credible Bond at the baccarat table. But then he does his silly Indian imitation.

    I suppose he was just giving a preview of his upcoming role in The Party.

    (I think Nikki dubbed at least one voice at the card table)

    The cameraman did not even bother focussing on Andress‘s face
    President of the 'Misty Eyes Club'.

    Dalton - the weak and weepy Bond!

    Welles' sudden declaration of an interest in world peace. Reminds me of the DAF's Blofeld's claim to be motivated by a desire to precipitate "peace for the world"!

    Le Chiffre's line "You amuse me, Mr Bond." Also used by Zorin.
    Critics and material I don't need. I haven't changed my act in 53 years.

    Motor-racing cameo: the recently deceased Sir Stirling Moss.

    Le Chiffres devious desk is reminiscent of Colonel Whites in Captain Scarlet!
    This is Thunderbird 2, how can I be of assistance?

    Clearly a missing scene here

    Music “Le Chiffre’s Torture Of The Mind”

    Note the carpet beater sticking out from the chair

    We see Vesper's abduction but not how Le Chiffre has captured Bond.

    Bond drives a Lotus.

    I noticed. I tend to notice that sort of thing.
    Sellers is actually good as Bond in the casino.

    Machine that goes very Machine Gun.... Vespers killer bagpipes....

    This is the prototype, TWINE has the mark IV with flamethrower option.
    Rumour has it a taser model with mini mortars is the next upgrade.

    The Peter O'Toole/Richard Burton joke is lost on audiences today

    First Lotus in the franchise
    President of the 'Misty Eyes Club'.

    Dalton - the weak and weepy Bond!

    I like Peter O'Toole's cameo, "then you're the finest man that ever breathed".

    Utter insanity
  • Golrush007Golrush007 South AfricaPosts: 3,421Quartermasters
    I love the SMERSH assassins coming out of the TV screen. :))

    ...and goodbye Peter Sellers

    A female fatale who actually kills James Bond!

    "Just goes to show... no one's indestructible!"

    Music “Flying Saucer”

    (but of course)
  • Golrush007Golrush007 South AfricaPosts: 3,421Quartermasters
    Oh god, flying saucer time...which is when I ask myself, 'How in the name of all that's holy have I been persuaded to watch this mess for a 20th time?'

    or possibly drugs. I have no experience with drugs and only some with insanity so I can't really say .....

    When Peter O'Toole asks, "Excuse me, are you Richard Burton?" Could be an in-joke as Burton was under consideration when they looked at making this as a serious Bond film.
