Casino Royale (Climax!)/Trivia

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Deleted Scene: The extremely hard-to-find real ending involved Le Chiffre grabbing the razor (see The Un-Reveal in the main section) and holding Vesper hostage, followed by Bond shooting the former then making out with Vesper.
  • Playing Against Type: Peter Lorre is not an Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain...
  • What Could Have Been: The network apparently commissioned a James Bond TV show based on the strength of this one special. Ian Fleming wrote a few outlines for some episodes and then negotiations fell through, and Fleming used the outlines he had already created and that became the eighth Bond book For Your Eyes Only. Fleming would have his turn in television again when he did some concept work for The Man from U.N.C.L.E..
