05 – Die another Lay,
- If you’ve been paying attention through the Bond films of the modern era you might have seen that Bond isn’t having as much sex as he used to.
- Over 50 years it’s implied that 007 has banged at least 52 women with more than that implied.
- Over Craig’s tenure though it seems that all the women we certainly know he had sex with end up meeting a gruesome end. Including Strawberry Field in Quantum of Solace, Vesper in Casino Royale and Sévérine in Skyfall
- This all makes Craig’s Bond the unofficial Black Widow of the series.
04 – Straight Razors are Forever,
- In the week following the film’s release it was reported that Cut –throat razor sales had sky rocketed by 400%
- Meaning now at least 10 people owned one.
- The surge in popularity was attributed to the film because of the love scene where Eve gives James a sexy straight razor shave. Commenting on how the old ways are best.
- It’s assumed though that this rush of sales died down after the secret agent wannabes realised how difficult the old ways are without slicing open your own neck.
03 – SIS Recruitment ,
- Speaking of wannabe secret agents, it’s probably safe to assume a lot of them were discouraged by and advert placed by the British secret service shortly after Skyfall’s release.
- The Ad placed by the SIS in major newspapers read that “If the qualities that make a good spy were obvious, they wouldn’t make a very good spy”
- The recruitment ad’s aim was to discourage gung-ho applicants and let them know that a real job as a spy would include mostly a lot of paper work and laughing at how inaccurate spy films were.
02 – Blown away teeth,
- In the final climatic scene Javier Bardem’s plan involves flying a very large and powerful helicopter to drop by Bond’s childhood home.
- The helicopter in the film is an AgustaWestland AW101, one of the newest and most advanced in existence
- However what the villain didn’t see coming was that the downdraft of the crafts engine is so powerful that Bradem’s false teeth went flying out of his mouth while on set.
01 – On-set interrogations,
- While shooting at a train station in southern Turkey, three youths were able to sneak on to set trying to get images of the filming process.
- While picture of filming are leaked all the time, what is interesting though is the level of commitment these three went to get into the tightly closed off area.
- It’s reported that the three snuck into the train station though different routes, jumped over a wire fence, and slipped in and out of train cars before finally meeting up and disguising themselves as off duty station workers.
- When finally caught the three were interrogated by security before ultimately being thrown off set.
- It’s suspected the three were actually working for Tom Cruise, wanting information on how to fix the Mission Impossible series.
