From Russia with Love/Headscratchers

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Remember when those two Gypsy girls are having a Cat Fight over who gets to marry the Prince? All Fan Service aside, why didn't they just have THE PRINCE decided which girl to marry?!
    • Maybe he was the one who suggested the fight?
    • In the book it's explained as 'They hate each other so much that whichever one he picks the other one will try to Murder the Hypotenuse anyway, so we might as well just hand them a pair of knives and tell them to get it over with. At least this way we can guarantee the fight is a fair duel and without excessive collateral damage.'
  • Why did Grant decide to shoot Bond several times? The entire plan relied on it looking like he had committed suicide.
    • Because Grant was a psycho which was the reason Kronsteen's elaborate plan failed.
      • Also, because Grant was aware that Bond had figured out he was an enemy agent.
  • Are we ever told which of the Gypsy girls get to marry the Prince?
    • Nope.
