Casino Royale (2006 film): Difference between revisions

Ian Fleming sold the rights to his first [[James Bond]] novel separately from the rest of the films, which is the reason that it took so long for a proper adaptation of the first novel.

* [[Darker and Edgier]] - The movie tries to be more mature and realistic than its predecessors -- for example, instead of just adding extra blood, sex, and swearing (all of which existed in previous Bond films), the movie made more subtle changes. Interestingly, some of its darkest elements were actually taken straight from the book (such as the torture scene late in the film).

* [[Dare to Be Badass]] - The chorus from the [[Crowning Music of Awesome|opening song]] puts a darker spin on this trope, basically couching it in a warning that if you ''don't'' [[Take a Level In Badass]], you will be dead very quickly:

''And I will replace you...'' }}

* [[Design Student's Orgasm]] - With a playing card theme, in the opening credits.

* [[Image Song]] - Chris Cornell's "You Know My Name", which also has cues in the score to act as the [[Leitmotif]] before the final scene.

* [[Informed Attractiveness]]

'''Mathis:''' I suppose I [[As You Know|don't have to tell you]] how beautiful you look. [[Hello, Nurse!|Half the people on that table are still watching you.]] }}

* [[It Gets Easier]]:

'''Dryden''': Made you feel it, did he? Well, you needn't worry. [[Killed Mid-Sentence|The second is]]--''(gets shot by Bond)''<br />

'''Bond''': [[Bond One-Liner|Yes. Considerably.]] }}

* [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]]: Craig's Bond is shown initially as a cynical and tough guy. However that doesn't mean he has no humanity or he doesn't feel compassion or pity. The "shower" sequence says all.

* [[Killed Mid-Sentence]]: Bond does this early in the film to earn his 00 status.

[[Boom! Headshot!|* pew* ]]<br />

'''Bond:''' ...Yes. ''Considerably.'' }}

* [[These Hands Have Killed]]: Vesper goes through this during her [[Shower of Angst]], after she's involved with Bond's confrontation with the African warlords.

* [[Too Kinky to Torture]]: Not really, but [[Invoked Trope|invoked]] by Bond as part of being [[Defiant to the End]]. He asks Le Chiffre to scratch an itch for him.

* [[To the Pain]] - "You know, I never understood all these elaborate tortures. It's the simplest thing... to cause more pain than a man can possibly endure." (then comes the Groin Attack mentioned above)

** This also may be a [[Take That]] [[Mythology Gag]] referring to the fairly elaborate torture scenes from prior Bond movies, most notably the laser cutting table in ''[[Goldfinger]]''.

* [[You Look Familiar]] - Poker game participant Madame Wu is played by Tsai Chin, who also played the Chinese girl Bond bedded at the beginning of ''[[You Only Live Twice]]''.

* [[You're Not My Type]]: In an exchange between Bond and Vesper.

'''Bond:''' "Single." }}

* [[Your Princess Is in Another Castle]] - [[The Big Bad]] has been defeated, Vesper and Bond do it, all is good... {{spoiler|Vesper suddenly steals 120 million dollars to pay for her fiancé's ransom. And dies.}}
