Talk:James Bond

Bond's car

Another inconsistency here. In Casino Royale, Bond's car is said to be a supercharged Bentley with a supercharger bought almost new in 1933. The last supercharged Bentley, according to the wiki article, was made in 1930, so the buy is plausible, but unfortunately the model in question had well over 100 horsepower versus a meagre twenty-five claimed for Bond's car. It is possible, just about, to read this as being an incremental 25hp conferred by the supercharger, but I've never heard of the HP bonus from a supercharger being stated separately in such a way. It's a nerdy point, perhaps, but Bond's cars, women, drinking habits and gadgets are probably the main things he's noted for and thus are probably the kind of thing people would come to wiki for information about (as I did). It appears to me that Fleming either guessed the power output of a prewar Bentley or perhaps just didn't know that much about cars? Worth a mention? Tirailleur (talk) 00:15, 19 January 2010 (UTC)

Prince Bernhard

Ref. origin and influence. For your consideration: In the 2010 tv-series 'Orange Scaundral' and other Dutch media it is often suggested Fleming partly based certain Bond trademarks on Dutch Royal and War Hero Prince Bernhard. The 2 appear to be acquainted through their years at the war office in London during WWII. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.167.126.88 (talk) 15:36, 23 January 2010 (UTC)

Directors links

Second and third iterations of directors in the chart are not linked to their wikis, though the first iterations are. EX: Terrance Young as director of Thunderball has no link, even though he does as director of Dr. No. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nquinn91 (talk • contribs) 04:18, 24 February 2010 (UTC)

That's the point. You're supposed to only link something once in an article. ★Ffgamera★ - My page! · Talk to me!· Contribs 07:06, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

MUSIC HEADING NEEDS ADDITION

Include Chris Cornell as a musician who performed the song "You know my name" from Casino Royale. It won an award for Best Song written for a film —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pizzahutnik (talk • contribs) 22:32, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

New Bond novel needs to be added

Per a May 2010 press release from Ian Fleming Publications as reported here, Jeffery Deaver has been commissioned to write a new Bond novel for publication in 2011. The title hasn't been announced yet, but this should be added after the reference to Faulks. 68.146.81.123 (talk) 17:29, 10 September 2010 (UTC)

Errors in table of movies

I could be wrong but it seems there might be some serious errors in the Inflation Adjusted Total Box Office column of the table containing such values. How do the 2008 figures become so bloated by adjusting them for inflation… in 2008? Maybe I'm confused. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.150.45.231 (talk) 07:53, 21 September 2010 (UTC)

James Bond on Stage

In 1992 a stage version of On Her Majesty's Secret Service was produced in England by Renegade Theatre Company. Actor Rob Richards was cast in the title role of James Bond. The Production was short lived however as the Broccoli estate refused to grant permission for the play to continue beyond an agreed number of performances. The production played to sell-out audiences and Richards' portrayal of Bond received critical acclaim.
