And that's how you end a Bond film. #HATM

See? The construction site earlier was another Chekhov's gun. #HATM

Unless I missed the shot, it appears a cameo by the aftermath of the Fourth Crusade didn't make it into our film about funding international terrorism. #HATM

They sort of deal with it in Die Another Day, where Bond spends the title sequence in North Korean captivity, and it clearly does some damage, though Brosnan's back to old tricks pretty quick (though so is Craig here). #CasinoRoyale #HATM

Nothing like a magic nap in a hospital to ensure all the bits are working again. #HATM

One, classy Bond.

Two, I think Le Chiffre did most of the stripping.

The earlier error that I didn't want to spoil for new viewers is that the buttons he presses earlier in the film do not line up with the letters. Oops. #HATM

I only remember a bit of QoS but I know the cliffnotes of much of the other Craig outtings but I think the franchise really tried to emphasis "There is always a bigger fish". #HATM

It also set the Guinness Book of World Records for car flips in a movie - the Aston Martin flipped 7 times. The 2024 film The Fall Guy broke that record with 8 and a half. #hatm

And now for the reason everyone remembers this film #HATM

I honestly forgot that twist. Nice. #HATM

The odds of that are the most unrealistic part of this movie where a British spy also shoots up an embassy and then staggers off into the jungle. #HATM

Don't mount a gun on the wall...etc. etc.

Hey if my favorite President, Jed Bartlett, hasn't steered me wrong Bond classically orders a weak martini and gets snobby about it. Craig is breaking the trend. #HATM

Here we go funding terrorism again. #HATM

Do we know who the next Bond is going to be? Can’t remember if they announced. #HATM #CasinoRoyale
