Line 19:
* [[Composite Character]]: Colonel Moon is a weird fusion of the literary version of Hugo Drax with Colonel Sun. In true ''Bond'' fashion, subtitles on the Region 2 DVD reveal his full name to be Tan-Sun Moon.
* [[Continuity Nod]]
** The gadgets in Q's lab.
*** This becomes [[Hilarious in Hindsight]] when you realize that these infamous Bond gadgets are in the station where MI6 keeps "discarded things". [[Casino Royale|The upcoming reboot]] proceeded to discard Bond's gadget schtick almost entirely.
** Jinx emerges from the water in the same manner -- and bikini -- as Honey Ryder from ''[[Dr. No]]''.
** Bond pretends to be an ornithologist, a nod to his origins as he was named after an ornithologist named James Bond.
** In the training sim, Bond refers to the virtual M's seemingly fatal wounding as "just a flesh wound." He makes this remark to John Cleese who said the same thing in "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" after having all his limbs removed by king Arthur.
** According to the movie's IMDb page, this film--in honor of the franchise's fortieth--[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0246460/trivia references every single other Bond film at least once] and several tips of the hat to the original novels.
* [[Cool Car]]: ''Two'' of them. [[Vehicular Combat|They also fight]].
* [[Death by Looking Up]]
Line 47:
* [[Irony]]: Bond being tortured by a beautiful Korean female officer. Take that you decadent Western womanizer!
* [[It's Personal]]: Bond desires very strongly to avenge himself on Zao.
* [[Katanas Are Just Better]]: In the epic swordfight between Bond and Gustav Graves, at one point Graves gets hold of a katana and promptly chops Bond's sabre in half with a single blow. Curiously, they both pass up katanas in favor of broadswords for the final duel.
* [[Kill Sat]]: The Icarus ([[Tempting Fate]] with that name much?)
* [[Kingpin in His Gym]]:
** Colonel Moon, whom we meet taking his Tae Kwon Do- frustrations out on a punching bag containing his anger therapist- that'll teach him to lecture Moon.
** [[Big Bad]] Gustav Graves also has some fun at a fencing club. {{spoiler|We later find that they're the same person.}}
* [[Kiss Me I Am Virtual]]: At the end of the movie, Moneypenny is caught experimenting with a pair of VR goggles...
* [[Magic Plastic Surgery]]: So magical it even allows you {{spoiler|to switch racial groups}}. Also apparently involves [[Lego Genetics]] as it's mentioned to be some form of "gene therapy."
* [[Majored in Western Hypocrisy]]: Colonel Moon, the [[Trope Namer]].
Line 78:
* [[Sex Face Turn]]: {{spoiler|Inverted -- Frost enjoys her night with Bond, but she's still prepared to shoot him dead the next day.}}
* [[Shoot the Hostage]]: Done by Bond in a virtual training scenario to save M, justifying it as being [[Only a Flesh Wound]].
* [[Snark
{{quote|'''Bond:''' Give me the old firing range anyday, Quartermaster.
'''Q:''' Yes well they call it the Future, so get used to it. ''(takes Bond into a museum of [[Call Back|Call Backs]])''
'''Bond:''' This where they keep the old relics, is it? }}
* [[This Is for Emphasis, Bitch]]: Said by Jinx to {{spoiler|Miranda}} during their fight.
