Trivia

James Bond's medical condition imposed by poisoning at the Casino Royale was Ventricular Tachycardia (VT) - Digitalis. VT is an increased rhythm of the heart derived from one of its ventricles where three or more beats of the heart beat at a rate more than 100 beats per minute. This arrhythmia can lead to uncoordinated cardiac muscle contraction called ventricular fibrillation, and sudden death. The digitalis refers to digitalis-induced ventricular tachycardia i.e. caused by the drug digitalis which is also known as Digoxin or by its brand name, Lanoxin. This is a heart medication drug that can kill in overdose. It's a cardiac glycoside drug derived from the foxglove plant Digitalis Lanata, more commonly known as Grecian Foxglove or Woolly Foxglove.

Chris Cornell has said inspirations for writing the song "You Know My Name" came from Paul McCartney's theme for Live and Let Die (1973) and Tom Jones theme for Thunderball (1965).

Third consecutive James Bond movie in the series where James Bond is tortured. In The World Is Not Enough (1999), he was tortured in a chair with tightening screws. The previous Bond movie Tomorrow Never Dies (1997) featured chakra torture devices but Bond was not actually tortured. In Die Another Day (2002) he was tortured during the opening scenes whilst in a Korean prison and in this film he is tortured by Le Chiffre adapted from the classic sequence in the original Ian Fleming novel where Le Chiffre tortures Bond with a carpet beater. In the film Le Chiffre uses a knotted rope.

When Bond enters the encrypter password before the tournament, he enters 836547. Later in the film, the password is revealed to be VESPER, which does not match. (It should be 837737.)

When Bond is examining the MI6 file on Le Chiffre, the file contains some errors; in the section that details his areas of operation, Bosnia is misspelled "Bosni" and the word Investigator is misspelled "Invesigator".

As confirmed by the "ELLIPSIS" text message, Bond's assault on the Nambutu Embassy in Madagascar takes place on 6th July 2006. The news website showcasing the CCTV footage of the incident, however, has Tuesday 28th highlighted on its web calendar. (Further confirmation that this is the wrong date is shown via the later attack on the Skyfleet S570 at Miami Airport, which explicitly takes place in the early hours of 9th July 2006.)

A

Q

Does this movie have Bond use complex gadgets like in the previous movies?

A

No, for this reboot it was decided that James Bond would only use gadgets that are realistic and not something that looks 10 years ahead of it's time or gadgets that are impossible to make. In other words he uses the latest technology in cell phones, computers, and spy ware. Aside from a compact defibrillator and a small tracking device put in his arm, Bond doesn't have much in the way of gadgetry.
