Just flicking through the IMDb board for NSNA, and one of the users picked up something I've never noticed before or even heard about from any Bodn fan.
When Domino (Kim Basinger) is walking from the bar area, where she was sat alone looking folorn (just as she does for the whole movie), she walks through a mirrored door, and Fatima watches her go, and closes it behind her. As Domino continues to walk through a hall, towards the camera, flanked on either side by rows of arcade video machines, on her left (our right as we see it) a man, who hsa been playing one of the machines, gets up and faces the camera. he's sort of level with Domino until she walks past him. He's only onscreen for a second, but I'm pretty sure that it was Tim Dalton! Either that or TD has a greasy-looking slightly Latino identical ttwin! Check it out for yourself.
I shouldn't be surprised not to have seen this or heard of it before, after all it's only for a second or so, in the middle of a boring piece in the middle of a terribly overrated ugly sister of a film.
"Dalton" appears again shortly afterwards, just as Domino spots Max Largo in the same "game hall" place. As Largo comes through a small gap in the row of machines towards Domino (who I think is talking to Bond) we see "Dalton" step round him, walking through the gap as we see it, again for maybe half a second. Check it out if you get the chance!
I wonder why McClory and Schwarzman put Dalton in this missable cameo - maybe it was a way of putting two fingers up to Brocolli, who had missed out on getting Dalton in the late 60s early 70s, saying "your first two choice Bonds (i.e. Dalton and Connery) in NSNA, and you've only got Roger Moore!" Who knows??
