Something I noticed
Jun 5 2009, 5:54 PM EDT
Recently Casino Royale has made its network debut on USA and is on for four nights in a row. It started last night and will continue tonight, saturday, and sunday. Anyway, watching it last night, I noticed something interesting.During the opening credits, there is an animation sequence where men are being killed by the suits from a card deck. A man is killed with a red diamond sticking from his chest, another with a black spade sticking from his chest, etc etc. Now, keeping that in mind, the title song that is played over these animations (You Know My Name by Chris Cornell) has a lyric in it that goes as following: "I've seen diamonds cut through harder men.". What I noticed is that the line coincides perfectly with the animation of a man being killed by the red diamond. We are literally seeing diamonds cut through harder men as the song suggests : ). Did anyone else happen to notice this? Was it the perfect coincidence? Or a cleverly hidden connection for fans to find? 2 out of 4 found this valuable. Do you? |

If you notice in 'Thunderball', when Bond sneaks into the Double Major Derval room, when Bond hides behind the door, in 1 scene he has his right hand @ his side, but, in close ups, his right hand is inside his pocket reaching for the gun. Do you find this valuable? |

"Also in Thunderball, look closely at the bombs. The words "Handle Like Eggs" are written on them. Found that funny. Do you find this valuable? |

"Recently Casino Royale has made its network debut on USA and is on for four nights in a row. It started last night and will continue tonight, saturday, and sunday. Anyway, watching it last night, I noticed something interesting.Yeah. Gosh, like they planned it or something. Lots of little things in that sequence. You, of course, noticed the Queen card that when the "gun-sight" passes over turns into Vesper's face. You noticed the settings that the fights take place in--the backs of playing cards, so they're literally fighting in a house of cards. Did you notice that the "fireworks" that Craig walks through over the final credits turns from cards to pound notes? Did you notice Arnold putting explosions into the mix of the song? Did you notice that USA cut the CRAP out of this movie? I turned it on half-way through and they cut out the whole section between Bond meeting Leiter and the final card-game. There's no poisoning scene, no scene of LeChiffre tossing the cards at the camera. So, when Vesper says "You were almost dead two hours ago" you think...."What is she on about?" Horrible job, I thought. Do you find this valuable? |

"Yeah. Gosh, like they planned it or something.I did notice how they cut so much out and was very dissapointed. I did notice the Queen's face turning into Vesper's. I also noticed the house of cards and pound notes. I didnt notice the explosions though, I'll watch for it though next time. So many little things. Another thing, though much more obvious, was a gun's eyesight scans over a 7 card (either diamonds or hearts, something red) and as it does to shots are fired so that the card reads "007". Though I'm sure you and everyone else noticed that. Do you find this valuable? |

"Yeah. Gosh, like they planned it or something.Perhaps we should add a section to the wiki for Hidden Things or Easter Eggs? Depending on how many we find if it would be enough content for its own section. 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |
