  4. "Buy me a pint". Has Bond ever drunk a pint? He really lowers his standards when out with the Northern 00s

  6. Kinda giving the Sean Bean reveal away a bit by having him listed first in the titles.

  7. I think I read somewhere that Tina Turner turned down the customary women of a new bond film Playboy offer. She'd have been 56.

    1. It's the sort of cameo where it's difficult to imagine how it happened. I like it.

  15. We have a new top henchman. You could held on to this Jaws if you hadn't have turned into such a little bitch in your second film.
