Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe way Bond orders his first vodka martini is lifted directly from the Ian Fleming novels.
- GoofsWhen Bond enters his password in the casino, he enters 836547. He later gives the password as VESPER, which on an alpha-numeric keypad would be 837737.
- Quotes
James Bond: [to Vesper] Why is it that people who can't take advice always insist on giving it?
- Crazy creditsThe opening titles is a stylish montage of Bond fights alongside gambling symbols: playing cards, playing card symbols (diamonds, hearts, spades and clubs), kings and queens, and roulette wheels.
- Alternate versionsThe UK release was cut, this film was originally seen by the BBFC in an unfinished version for advice. The BBFC advised the distributor that the torture scene placed too much emphasis on both the infliction of pain and the sadism of the villain for the requested 12A classification. When the completed version of the film was submitted for classification, reductions to the torture sequence had been made, including the removal of lingering shots of the rope, close shots of Bond's facial reaction and the substitution of a more distant shot of the beating. This re-edited version was acceptable at 12A, where the Guidelines permit violence provided there is no dwelling on detail or emphasis on injuries.
- ConnectionsEdited into Omega 'Casino Royale' Television Commercial (2006)
Featured review
This is among the best bond movies! You have to see it.
After all the controversy and comments on Daniel Craig's potential as an actor and doubts over him playing Bond...i'd say forget it and be enthralled by the new BOND! He's here to stay.
He has that natural feeling about him when you see him on the screen as Bond, that attitude, style, confidence matched only by Sean COnnery. The movie as a whole is extremely entertaining and exciting.The acting is awesome Eva Green actually does a great job and has really improved her acting from the last time i saw her (in kingdom of heaven), but then this is a totally different movie.
There's a lot of action mixed with great story which i am sure will please the true Bond fan.
Please go and watch this because you will regret if you don't, forget the past this is the New Bond.
9/10
