Quantum of Solace: Difference between revisions

Line 12:

* [[Action Film Quiet Drama Scene]]: Various, all pulled off very well.

* [[The Adventure Continues]]

{{quote| '''M:''' I need you back, Bond.~~ ~~

{{quote|'''M:''' I need you back, Bond.

'''Bond:''' I never left. }}

* [[All There in the Manual]]: Fields' first name is only in the credits of the movie.

Line 58:

* [[Foreshadowing]]: {{spoiler|Green}} was found with two bullets in the back of his head. Bond didn't give him a gun. Gasp!

* [[Friendly Address Privileges]]: When Dominic Greene and James Bond meet:

{{quote| '''Dominic Greene:''' ''My friends call me Dominic.''~~ ~~

{{quote|'''Dominic Greene:''' ''My friends call me Dominic.''

'''James Bond:''' ''I'm sure they do.'' }}

* [[Fruit Cart]]: A truck containing a lot of cheap coffins crashes during the Haiti chase. In another scene, during a foot chase a small dumbwaiter full of tomatoes is knocked to the ground.

* [[Genre Savvy]]: M knows what the [[Bond One-Liner|Bond One Liners]] mean.

{{quote| '''Bond''': Tell her Slate was a dead end.~~ ~~

*message is relayed to M*~~ ~~

*message is relayed to M*

'''M''': Dammit! He killed him! }}

* [[Girl of the Week]]: Deliberately done differently. {{spoiler|It's clear to both Bond, Fields, and the audience that she's just a quick lay, and all Camille gives Bond is a quick peck before (apparently) leaving him forever.}}

Line 72:

* [[Hollywood Skydiving]]: The DC-3 sequence.

* [[I'll Take That as a Compliment]]

{{quote| '''James:''' You know, I was just wondering what South America would look like if nobody gave a damn about coke or communism. It always impressed me the way you boys would carve this place up.~~ ~~

'''Felix:''' I'll take that as a compliment, coming from a Brit. }}

* [[In Name Only]]: In the original short story, Bond is at dinner at an island governor's place. After dinner, the governor tells him the story of an airline stewardess' failed marriage. Bond re-learns that drama and tragedy doesn't have to involve master villains or gadgets. The End. Now a Major Motion Picture. The vast majority of Bond films are like this, but particularly in this case as there is a shortage in Fleming titles that haven't been used yet.

Line 101:

* [[Paranoia Fuel]]: In universe; Quantum says they "have people everywhere". {{spoiler|Like, ''in the same room''.}} M is noticeably twitchy and distrustful the rest of the movie, since the traitor in question had been {{spoiler|her personal bodyguard for years.}}

** Taken [[Up to Eleven]] with Greene's speech to Mendrano.

{{quote| '''Greene:''' You should know something about me and the people I work with. We deal with the left and the right, dictators or liberators. If the current president had been more agreeable, I wouldn't be talking to you. So if you decide not to sign, you'll wake up with your balls in your mouth and your willing replacement standing over you... if you doubt that, then shoot me, take that money and have a good night's sleep. }}

* [[Pet the Dog]]: Bond spends most of the movie a cold and emotionless bastard. {{spoiler|He is however notably angry when Fields is murdered; and then informs M that Fields showed true bravery and he wants that noted in the report.}}

* [[Playing Against Type]]: Mathieu Amalric is well known for playing whimsical intellectuals in French auteur dramas.
