** Don't know about those bits, but the "the coldest blood runs through my veins" is referencing the fact that 007 is an extremely cold-blooded [[Anti-Hero]] and "You Know My Name" is stating that [[James Bond]] really needs no introduction. |

*** We the audience are familiar with Bond's schtick: that he's a secret agent who saves the world from evil men with grand schemes. "You know my name" references the fact that we associate things with James Bond. This movie does, however, serve as the introduction to this new ''version'' of Bond... all those things still apply to him, but his manner and style are noticeably different. |

** The "replacing" bit is obvious: Daniel Craig is replacing Pierce Brosnan. |

*** While there's never much of a point in analyzing the lyrics of a Bond movie opening theme, the lyrics of "You Know My Name" seem to be about Bond's loss of humanity: "you might find out you're giving up something important by killing other people," "angels can fall from grace and you are definitely no angel," etc. |

** They're probably intended to be replaceable between uses. Thus they would be made to come out. They're not meant to come out ''easily'' and probably didn't... Bond's yanking things around quite a bit since he's not very steady, he probably just accidentally dislodged them. Either that or someone got sloppy and didn't attach them when they were putting the equipment in the car, so it didn't get detached because it was never attached in the first place... mistakes happen after all. |

* What DID happen to Felix Leiter steeping in to take out Le Chiffre? I understand that Mathis might have done something, but as of Quantum of Solace, he's innocent. Felix isn't dead either, as per Quantum of Solace. What happened? |

** Vesper said the CIA would extract Le Chiffre before dawn, but had already "made contact with" him (Which in of itself is bloody stupid!). Before then, Le Chiffre was killed by Mr White. |
