Storyline

James Bond goes on his first ever mission as a 00. Le Chiffre is a banker to the world's terrorists. He is participating in a poker game at Montenegro, where he must win back his money, in order to stay safe among the terrorist market. The boss of MI6, known simply as M sends Bond, along with Vesper Lynd to attend this game and prevent Le Chiffre from winning. Bond, using help from Felix Leiter, Mathis and having Vesper pose as his wife, enters the most important poker game in his already dangerous career. But if Bond defeats Le Chiffre, will he and Vesper Lynd remain safe? Written by simon

Goofs

Incorrectly regarded as goofs: Originally it is believed that in the final poker hand with all 4 players all in there's a mistake, because the total amount Bond wins is 120 million. Player 1 goes all inn with 6, Player 2 goes all inn with 5, leaving approximately 109 million. Bond goes all in with 40.5 million which means he can only win 40.5 million from Le Chiffre. Le Chiffre would still have 120 (- 6 - 5 - 40.5 - 40.5) - 92 = 28 million left. It is claimed that the game would not be over. However, review of the actual scenes and Mathis' statement that there is 115 million in the final pot actually reveals that Bond was the chip leader and that someone (Felix Leiter, who staked Bond's re-buy) did not buy back in, and that the full potential of $120m would not be seen on the table. It starts with $24m in the pot (a quote from Mathis), with four players, which is six million in chips from each. Fukutu adds $6m and Ade adds $5m. The pot is now $35m. Le Chiffre adds $12m, raising the pot to $47m. A count of Bond's chips shows that he has 26m, $1m blue chips, 7 20-chip stacks of $100,000 chips, and 1 $500,000 chip, making his total $40,500,000. When he goes all-in, that raises the pot to $87.5m. That means Le Chiffre needs to add $28.5m to match Bond's raise. He has 20 $1m blue chips, 13 $500,000 chips, 4 $100,000 chips in his hand, one $100,000 chip on his cards, and 5 $100,000 chips sitting away from his neater stacks, giving him $27.5m. When Le Chiffre goes all-in with $27.5m, that brings the pot to $115m, which Mathis points out. Therefore, Fukutu started the hand with 12m, Ade with 11m, LeChiffre with 45.5m, and Bond with 46.5m. Bond was the chip leader and therefore won the game on that hand. See more »
