Line 1: {{work}} ~~=== The 2006 Film: ===~~ * [[Ability Over Appearance]]: [[Daniel Craig]] got a bit of controversy when he was cast as [[James Bond]] because he looked very different from the past Bonds, being derisively referred to as "James Blond." This of course all went away once the film came out and he got rave reviews. He may have invoked the trope, since he refused to dye his hair black for the role. * [[Cast the Expert]]: Line 6 ⟶ 5: ** When Bond plays poker at the Ocean Club and wins Dimitrios's car, the dealer running the game is an actual professional poker dealer who works at that establishment. * [[Dyeing for Your Art]]: Daniel Craig buffed up and put on 20 lbs of muscle for the role of Bond. * [[Fake Brit]]: Eva Green is French. * [[Hey, It's That Guy!]]: ** Tyrone from [[Snatch]] is apparently a poker ace too. Line 12: * [[Technology Marches On]]: Cell phones, here probably intended to show how gadgets aren't necessary in the modern world. They looked terrific at the time (remember that GPS?) but amusingly, in today's smartphone era they all now look terribly out of date. * [[What Could Have Been]]: Approximately half the male actors in film were rumored as being considered for the role of Bond. Of note, Henry Cavill was the runner-up, but at age 22, was considered too young. ~~=== The 1967 Film: ==~~ * [[All-Star Cast]] * [[Breakaway Pop Hit]]: "The Look of Love", due to severe [[Mood Whiplash]]. * [[Creator Killer]]: A sadly literal instance. The stress of making the film caused producer Charles K. Feldman to develop heart problems, which claimed his life just two years after its release. ** A less lethal instance happened to all of the film's directors except for [[John Huston]]. All of them had fairly distinguished careers prior to working on this film, but none of them had anywhere near the same success afterwards. Probably the worst affected was Val Guest; after word got out that he had taken over as the primary director late in production, he got unfairly blamed for the resulting mess and was reduced to directing [[Awful British Sex Comedy\|Awful British Sex Comedies]] for the rest of his career. * [[The Danza]]: Terence Cooper as Coop. * The Poker Game! ** To get this you have to read several of the original novels, especially ''Goldfinger''. Throughout the series there are references to the game at the Casino Royale including the names and positions of the players. The large black gentleman? Mr. Big from ''[[Live and Let Die (novel)\|Live and Let Die]]''. The touristy woman to Felix's left? In the book ''[[Goldfinger]]'', she and her husband ask Bond to investigate Goldfinger's cheating them. ~~The touristy woman to Felix's left?
