How SPECTRE references all 23 Bond Films

[@Boggart202]

You forgot about how in a view to a kill, the lead protagonist is called “James Bond”. Spectre echos this by also heavily featuring a character of the same name

[@stephenwatchesyoutube]

😂😂😂

[@VickStarkiller]

Oh shit 😳😳😳

[@worfsonofmogh323]

I love how out of all the films, you used view to a kill for this joke.

[@liambraithewaite6415]

Another one you could've added with GoldenEye and Spectre is that both of the main villains had close connections with Bond. Best friends with Alec and step siblings with Blofeld

[@pyrobison2002]

Bond barely knew and did not remember Blofeld

[@mr.horsepower8125]

@@pyrobison2002 NTTD Spoiler! Don't read further if you haven't seen it! The sibling connection was determined a lie in No Time To Die

[@tekgeekster]

@@mr.horsepower8125 Oh, thank God. That bit made no sense and felt completely stupid to add in.

[@AndrewChapman]

@@mr.horsepower8125 But wait a minute, if that's so, what about that old photo in Spectre which Bond sees of himself as a kid with younger Blofeld and his father?

[@DutchBondFan]

I think Bond casually stepping out of the window of his hotel room in the PTS of SPECTRE is another reference to DAF, as Bond does that in that movie as well, when he's with Tiffany and casually steps out of the window to have a look at Willard Whyte's Penthouse

[@JBond007]

Liking that one! Thanks for the suggestion.

[@darramlogan7126]

What's with the creepy background music?

[@JBond007]

I suppose it does sound a bit sinister in places! They're tracks from an old synth CD of Bond themes, which I played a lot when I was young as it was the only Bond themes CD I owned. Wanted slightly different music to the standard themes and currently experimenting with adding music to videos as I know it's something they lack.

[@darren71493]

Thanks for starting to incorporate music into your videos. :)

[@nathanielschwartz425]

What's DAF?

[@soylentgreen7074]

Very well done. Spectre is an underrated film. I see comments all the time of how people didn't like it. One of my favorite bond films.

[@thecave3600]

Soylent Green absolutely movie was amazing

[@GiovanniAlckmimRusso]

I consider it to be the best of all James Bond movies. Felt like I was reading one of Ian Fleming's novels.

[@1517CalvinMartin]

I think it's Craig's best post-Casino Royale Bond film.

[@BergmitetheBlueandPointy0712]

Soylent Green Spectre is one of my favourite bond movie

[@reidplumer3250]

I heard that view to a kill in the background

[@squirrel4091]

THANK YOU! I tried to guess it but didnt rember the name :)

[@settekwan2708]

I think it's worth mention that the appearance of Christoph Waltz's portray of Blofeld is a combination of both Donald Pleasence and Charles Gray

[@jasonday6645]

Good catch.

[@chacecrowell]

Bit of Savalas's scientist in there as well

[@anthonylewis2080]

Here's a connection between SPECTRE and a previous 007 movie : Monica Bellucci was to play Paris Carver in Tomorrow Never Dies, she returns two decades later as Lucia Sciarra, like Paris Carver, was the wife of a villain!.

[@pjosepha]

That was Teri hatcher

[@annem8152]

@@pjosepha that is why he said "was to play" since she was replaced by Teri Hatcher.

[@degenerategambler4830]

That scene from For Your Eyes Only where Bond is about to go skiing and the baddies follow him into the elevator resembles the scene from Spectre when Q is sitting in the aerial tram while the bad guys are sitting there with him

[@jackincorporated8480]

Mr Hinks isn't dead. He'll be back in the next one, for definitely!

[@marcokrueger3399]

Well, that didn't age well :D But another reference: Hinks sounds similar to Jinx

[@manzilla48]

Lol no he won’t

[@zakum911]

This comment did not age well

[@p.bamygdala2139]

Well done! I can certainly appreciate the hard work you went through to research this project and prepare all the connections. Keep up the good work. Subscribed!

[@detnyeriket]

Very well done video! I've always been a fan of the Bond films and this was a great supplement :)

[@TheT3rr0rMask]

Another Daylights reference- in the Tangier scenes Bond is wearing the exact outfit Timmy wore in Daylights' Tangier scenes

[@MrLAraider]

Obscure Media u beat me in posting this! :-)

[@ferenczjuhasz2464]

AENB2016 me too 😀

[@Wolf.moon23]

Bond trying to gain control of the helicopter actually comes from You Only Live twice, so the GoldenEye scene itself is a reference, and when he leaves through the window at the beginning Is a reference to Diamonds are Forever, when James is in the Hotel.

[@skiptrace1888]

Thanks so much for posting! I'm an enthusiastic Bond fan, having been around since the franchise began. :-) You pinpointed some references I had missed. A very enjoyable dossier!

[@samkresil6011]

Sean Connery James Bond: I might`ve known. But I said never again would I look into things like this.

[@jasonday6645]

This one, Goldfinger and You Only Live Twice had Professional Wrestlers as Henchmen.

[@christopherthorne8133]

Cracking lil video man. You've done some good ones here. Always thought that while Spectre wasn't the best Bond film but it did have alot of eyes in the past 👍

[@Joegb68]

I always believe that there are always reminders of previous bond films in every bond movie

[@sgtfrozty]

So... No-one mentioning that Bond 25 is officially confirmed to come out in November 8th, 2019?

[@MrFusion]

sgtfrozty Is this confirmed?

[@sgtfrozty]

John Spade Yes it was confirmed last month twitter.com/007/status/889575964983914496?s=09

[@alwaysOPEN4business]

Christoph Waltz won't be back, not off to a good start already.

[@hazoevo3390]

alwaysOPEN4business why is He not back? This makes no sense he was ment to be a villan in at least 2 movies. Otherwise the whole plot of spectre wont make sense because the end of the movie was just the start of the adventure...can you/ somebody explain? :(

[@alwaysOPEN4business]

Hazo Evo Waltz himself has said he won't be back, who knows maybe they will recast Blofeld like they did every time he returned in the old ones or maybe Blofeld won't be back at all. Spectre was shit anyway and the story they did with Blofeld was beyond dumb..

[@ShiftSwitchisAwesome]

A well put together video on the topic! I do also believe DAD has references to all previous movies, however I don't think that you'd want to look through that one!

[@JBond007]

That's a possibility for a future video! I did put this video off for 4 months though due to the work involved in trawling through all of the films. With DAD being the main subject, I can see it taking me even longer!

[@denisetrzaska5520]

For Your Eyes Only and Spectre both feature a character’s line “What took you so long?”

It's Dr. No who explains to James Bond who and what is SPECTRE. FYI it stands for, SPecial Executive for Counter-intelligence, Terrorism, Revenge, Extortion.

[@johniceberg4716]

Spectre is my favorite Bond movie. Thanks for this video.

[@AlmightyBruce]

“Both Villains dont wear socks” Wow... that’s below scrapping the bottom of the barrel

[@piotrbugaj5179]

"It's hard to find references to Diamonds" - Dude, how many references are as strong and obvious like the dialogue with a rodent? Great video btw.

[@1517CalvinMartin]

Both FYEO and SPECTRE feature a Bond vs. Blofeld battle with one of them in a helicopter set against the backdrop of the London skyline.

[@a_fistful_of_honeybadger7949]

It would be interesting if the actual Tomorrow Never Dies reference from Spectre is where Daniel Craig is waiting for Money Penny, because in TND itself, the scene (where Pierce Brosnan's Bond is waiting for Paris Carver) was actually considered at the time to be reference to a scene in Dr No where Connery is sitting down playing cards and waiting for a bad guy to arrive before gunning him down. Interesting then, because wouldn't that make this a reference within a reference !?

[@benashworth7653]

how about this one: In Octupussy ,it is said that years before Bond captured her father and let him commit suicide. In This flick, he let Mr. White commit suicide, then later hooked up with his daughter.

[@RJSRdg]

Yes, that line in Octopussy is a reference to the Fleming story of that name, effectively making the film a sequel to Fleming's story.

[@bahnasproductions6329]

You only live twice is my fav bond film. Love the volcano lair and Aki lmao

[@bryancordero6532]

"We have all the time in the world" in 2021 hits different now

[@ellipsis-007]

These are more similarities than references but still great video and it was very interesting to learn about all of these which a lot I didn’t know about. I think License to Kill has the biggest reference with both villains not wearing socks.

[@varanid9]

You forgot the Doctor No reference where Bond hears Blofeld suddenly break the silence with a remark about the price of the meteor in the same way Doctor No remarked, suddenly breaking the silence, the price of his undersea window.

[@LoneSoldierCobra]

"Bottoms up" reference to TMWTGG

[@benjaminarmstrong7047]

The door of M's office is upholstered in leather, as it was in the scene where the armorer Major Boothroyed equips bond with a Walther PPK back in the 60s.

[@FriendlyPoison666]

Good video man. I actually noticed more references in this than Skyfall lol

[@joonassummanen6130]

I realized a week ago, when i watched For Your Eyes Only. That the scene in this movie, where Q confronts the goons in the ski lift. Is similar to the scene in For Your Eyes Only, where Bond Confronts Locque in the ski jump tower.

[@AngusCookProductions]

Craigs jacket is similar to Daltons in LD lol

[@anton2192]

Where is that remix of Living Daylights from?

[@jackincorporated8480]

I loved spectre, but I think it would have been brilliant with a "view to a kill" like ending. If Bond had grabbed on to a rope from the helicopter and had a finale showdown with blofeld on top of tower bridge or the shard. Like the duel between him and Zorin. Great film though.

[@ExAnimoPortugal]

You forgot when Bond is on the plane and locks eyes with the henchman in the car, it's a mirror reference to when in "The Spy Who Loved Me", Bond looks at the woman piloting the helicopter while driving the Lotus

[@ExAnimoPortugal]

Also when Bond looks at Mr Hinx during the Rome car chase, it's similar to For Your Eyes Only when he's driving the small Citroen.

[@jasonday6645]

Very Good. But you missed one. The scene in Spectre where Bond and the girl are stranded in the desert is similar to the scene in The Spy Who Loved Me.

[@AndrewChapman]

Holy crap, well spotted.

[@ianstubbs1175]

And in Quantum of Solace

[@creativityreimagined]

Nice analysis

[@henrykujawa4427]

M being kidnapped in "THE WORLD IS NOT ENOUGH" was a plot point borrowed from "COLONEL SUN".

[@blainesavini3403]

I think that during the Day of the Dead sequence HOULD have had Baron Samedi walking casually in the parade

[@morticianforreal]

Great video. It was nice watching it. Do make other Bond videos like this.

[@TheSmokingDen]

You missed the bottoms up cheers and the wave from the plane vs from helicopter. MWTGG and TSWLM.

[@AndrewChapman]

I wonder if this will happen again in the next film, especially as it will be Bond 25 which some may consider a milestone. Plus as Bond 25 sounds like it will be released near the end of 2019 or early 2020, it's unlikely Bond 26 will be released in 2022 for the 60th anniversary of the film series. Unless of course they somehow manage to get Bond 26 underway sooner and release it 2 years after Bond 25 like they used to. As opposed to waiting 3-5 years for the next film, which has usually been due to financial issues or whatever.

[@annem8152]

thanks to covid, we got it in 2022. :)

[@DuncanIdaho-te3hh]

In "Spectre" the meteor Crater lair is much like the villains lair described in the James Bond continuation novel "Role of Honor" which came out in the early 80's and was written by John Gardner. The villains lair from the novel was run by SPECTRE which makes a return in 3 of John Gardner's continuation novels. Also, this is unrelated to the SPECTRE movie but, the climax from A View to A Kill takes place on an airship like the climax of "Role of Honor."

[@JBond007]

I've read several of the continuation novels, but I really need to get around to re-reading them to spot further inspiration in the films. Same goes for the video games.

[@kensanders6241]

I know I'm late to this, but thank you for making this video. Obviously I'm a fan of the Bond film franchise and books, and even though I thought Spectre was one of the weaker Daniel Craig outings, there were a few things that resonated in my mind recalling previous movies. I recall thinking when Bond falls only to be cushioned by a couch that it was a nice call back to the Bond movie that began my interest.

[@tomsaveryscotlandicproduct8505]

The gunbarrel is at the start again and has the classic maurice binder theme to it.

[@richtea615]

They were so busy working in all these references that they forgot to write a good script.

[@obsideon1343]

You didn't mention Bond coming out of the ocen in Casino Royal matching Honey Rider's entrance in Dr. No.

But that's not in SPECTRE, is it?

[@syncof1190]

I love your channel. Have you done a video of your ranking of every James Bond movie?

[@varanid9]

Obviously, they were referencing classic Bond films, but, after Live and Let Die, maybe Man with the Golden Gun, you're really going through some mental gymnastics.

[@1981stonemonkey]

Almost Ben Whishaw's voice - very appropriate for this video :-)

[@bryanwood8803]

I believe Conel Moon in Die Another Day was a reference to Clonel Sun.

Never thought I'd see another Bond feature so many references to the prior movies after DAD. Seems strange considering this wasn't accompanied by an anniversary like Skyfall was.

[@micogalang9864]

[@muratsahan8697]

[@jamesbond-007status2]

In GoldenEye the main character is named and even called "James Bond" just like the name of the character in Spectre and that name of "James Bond" is also the name of a similar Spylike character in the Ian Fleming books

[@samm4980]

This is a very random connection, but look at the clothes Dalton and Craig are wearing while in Tangier in TLD and Spectre respectively.

[@Boyd6763]

what kind of music is used in this video i would also like to have it where can i find it ?

[@tomycrocamoabate2003]

A View to a Kill as soundtrack at the beginning of the video is key

[@DaveMoore]

One of the other things I noticed was that when Hinx (jaws tribute) flies off the train is how his demise is carried out. He is attached to a rope with a line of barrels, which is exactly what happens in....Jaws. Robert Shaw, (Red Grant in FRWL) shoots the attached rope of barrels into the shark. This was to drown it....it didn't work...and I don't think it worked with Hinx..

[@mef2005]

There are also references to non-EON Bondfilms: As in the 67' "Casino Royale" Moneypenny suports Bond very activly in his field works, and as in "Never Say Never Again" the main villain is played by an austrian actor.

[@pkvanderzee6226]

Absolutly cool video. I also saw the video Who is Spectre and how it ressembles to all movies. To me thinking it over again: Spectre is great. I am writing a novel momentarly about The new world order and as a big James Bond fan... they are Spectre this organisation. It s fun watching all the Bond movies and see how they referee to another. For instance: 006 (Goldeneye) is a former member of MI6 - turns out (changes) to an enemy he thinks he's been betrayd Silva (skyfall) a former agent (also for revenge) thinks he's been betrayd (wich he is so everything's corrupt I guess) So you have all those references: Halle Barre stepping out of the water (Dr No) I say it's fun. and as an artist I made 3 paintings from James Bond movies and in my novel Spectre is The New World Order.

[@lelonfurr1200]

SPECTRE is controling everything

Hinx is killed by having barrels attached to his neck, much like the shark in Jaws has barrels attached to it. Jaws... are you getting it?

[@arvinroidoatienza7082]

that octopus on Bond's gun in the title sequence is a reference to the title card and design of Octopussy
