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
Well certain people thought Daniel Craig could not pull it off, but he has and with style and a cold steel edge, not seen since Sean Connery.
This is proper action hero stuff, but he actually looks like if he wanted to he could kill you.
With an opening sequence that will stop you from blinking for 20 minutes.
The film is class, from the cinematography, to the three dimensional villains, and Bond's rapid learning curve.
Like Dr No, you see a killer, just he is on our side.
Don't read reviews, just go and see it, and tell your friends what you thought, you won't be disappointed.
