A James Bond origin story like this had been touted to be the first Bond film after Sir Roger Moore retired. A first draft screenplay was written, where James Bond was a young man in the Royal Navy. However, Albert R. Broccoli rejected the concept, believing at the time that the audience wasn't really interested in a young James Bond. See more »

In Miami International Airport Carlos hits a switch that activates all the fire sprinklers. Normal fire sprinkler systems do not have a switch to activate the entire system, instead sprinklers are activated by the heat of the fire melting a glass trigger in the sprinkler head and only the ones in immediate area of the fire activate. If all the sprinklers activated at once the water pressure at each head would be significantly lower than if only one or two activated, impeding the suppression of the fire, and the water damage caused by a sprinkler would be over a large area instead of just the area of the fire. This is a common goof and is seen in many movies and TV shows. See more »
There is only one movie franchise that has twisted, turned and reinvented itself on so many occasions...
007 has unfortunately dwindled more than it has bedazzled over the last decades but I am relieved to see that Martin Campbell has put the edge back into the Bond series.
The originally unpopular Craig grinds through this action packed feature with ease and in my opinion proves all of his doubters (including me) very very wrong..
At last we have another true Bond.. Sharp, sophisticated and as tough as nails... And perhaps correctly more shaken than stirred.
Welcome back 007... Welcome back.
