"Casino Royale" - Bond Begins... Quiz

Answer: Dryden

You see the rather graphic flashback of Bond killing Dryden's contact in a bathroom, right at the start of the film. This gives you a clue that it's not going to be a very light-hearted affair! Bond then shoots Dryden for selling national secrets. This is his second kill which elevates him to "00" status.
Dryden: "Made you feel it, did he? Well, you needn't worry, the second is..."
Bond shoots him.
Bond: "Yes, considerably."

Answer: Sebastien Foucan

The free-running (also known as parkour) sequence is really exciting as Bond chases Mollaka (Foucan) all over a building site and into the embassy. There is a great contrast as Mollaka throws himself through small gaps and Bond just bursts through the walls instead. David Belle is the founder of parkour and Jerome Ben Aoues filmed "Jump London" with Foucan where they practiced their art all over the city. I couldn't think of anyone else so I put Eddie "the Eagle" Edwards in - Britain's first Olympic ski-jumper.

He was hopeless, but that's why we loved him.

Answer: That "M" is actually her initial.

We don't find out what it stands for, as she threatens to kill him if he says it! It couldn't be that bad, surely? Anyway, Bond uses her laptop to trace the text message sent to Mollaka's phone. Then off he goes to the Bahamas, to spy on the man who sent the text.

Answer: The valet ticket

Bond takes practically everything Dimitrios has! Later on, his wife (Solange) tells Bond that Dimitrios is taking the last flight to Miami. What could he be up to? Bond leaves her with some champagne and caviar and follows Dimitrios back to Miami.

Answer: "Bodyworld's" exhibition

"Bodyworld's" displays real human corpses in various ways so that you can see everything inside - eeeurgh! Bond has to kill Dimitrios here and then follows the man who picked up the bag back to the airport.

Answer: Richard Branson

The owner of the Virgin company is briefly viewed in the right-hand metal detector. He has obviously honed his acting skills recently, as this is the second time I've seen him in a blockbuster this year - the first time being in "Superman Returns". Maybe he's the secret ingredient to box-office success.

Answer: The Vesper

Vesper asks if it's called this because it "leaves a bitter aftertaste" but Bond assures her that it's because "once you've tasted it, that's all you want to drink." This is slightly cheesy but Bond films always have been!

Answer: Algerian

Bond recognizes the design as being an Algerian love knot. We know that someone close to Vesper's heart gave her the necklace but we don't realize the importance of their relationship until the very end of the film, when M reveals that her kidnapped boyfriend is French-Algerian.

Answer: His smile and his little finger

Bond then replies with a fairly standard 007 innuendo which I'm not going to put here! I thought that this comment from Vesper indicated that after his awful whipping from Le Chiffre, maybe Bond is now less of a man in an anatomical sense. It seems to hint at this but he never has any trouble with the ladies in any other Bond films so maybe I'm thinking too much about it.

Answer: "The name's Bond...James Bond."

Bond turns up to finish off the mysterious Mr. White, who pops up intermittently throughout the film. I think he is involved in the kidnapping of Vesper's boyfriend, so that she would double-cross Bond for the poker winnings.
"Please, allow me", comes from near the end of the film where White's men threaten to kill Vesper to stop Bond following them. He knows she's double-crossing him so offers to do it himself.
"The house always wins" doesn't come from any Bond film that I know of but it seemed a possible last line!
"That last hand almost killed me" is what Bond says when he returns to the poker table, after recovering from having his drink poisoned - a typically cheesy Bond-ism! Anyway, the last line was a classic to end a modern classic.
