Casino Royale

Daniel Craig initially rejected the part of James Bond, as he felt that the series had settled into a standard formula. He changed his mind when he read the finished script.

In the first poker game where Bond wins the car, the keys are placed in the pot representing the bet. Bond wins, then asks for the valet tag. If the car was parked by the valet, the keys would have been at the valet stand. However, in the shot where the "keys" are thrown into the pot, it can be seen that it is only a key ring and not the actual keys to the car. It's most likely a lucky charm.

The opening credits are set in a stylish montage of fights with gambling symbols: playing cards, playing card symbols (diamonds, hearts, spades and clubs), kings and queens, and roulette wheels.

US version is cut in the opening bathroom fight, the shooting of the bomb-maker, and the stairwell fight scene to secure a PG-13 rating. The opening bathroom fight has more punches, a closeup of the hitman's pained face as Bond grabs him by the neck, and a more prolonged scene of Bond holding the hitman's head in the sink. The shooting of the bomb maker is cut differently, going to a closeup when Bond shoots him. The stairwell fight features Obanno's henchmen hitting the ground onscreen, Obanno crashing into one of the glass windows, additional punches, and a much longer struggle at the bottom of the stairwell with Bond strangling Obanno. The PG-13 version was on all US DVD and Blu-Ray releases, but the 4K UHD release does have the full uncut version.
