RSSWhat Happened To The Continuity In Quantum Of Solace?
February 21st, 2012 by admin | Filed under How to copy DVD movies.
Following the successfulness of “Casino Royale” it was decided the follow up, “Quantum of Solace”, was to be the first true follow up in the history of the James Bond films. The end of Daniel Craig’s first film as 007 finished with him dressed in a Brioni three-piece suit after shooting Mr White in the leg and uttering those immortal words – “Bond, James Bond”.
However , “Quantum of Solace”, released 2 years later, gets things mixed up from the start. The sequel finishes shortly after Mr White has been shot, though we do not find out what occurred between the last scene in “Casino Royale” and the start of “Quantum of Solace” that precipitates a fast auto chase between Bond’s Aston Martin DBS and a considerable number of black Alfa Romeos.
What is obvious is that though the suite worn at the beginning of “Quantum of Solace” is very like that worn in “Casino Royale” – with a change of costume designer came a change of suit maker and Tom Ford came in to replace Brioni – it is now a two-piece suit. Not just that, but the stripes are differently spaced and of a different color too! Many Bond fans who realized that tiny details were rather frustrated.
Another creeping mistake is that in “Casino Royale”, Bond checks some CCTV photos that obviously indicates the year is 2006, the year the film was shot and released. Nevertheless “Quantum of Solace” is set in 2008.
While little slips like this are hardly obvious and certainly not on first viewing, it is true that some Bond fans who noticed these continuity slips were disenchanted. But it's right that many films have tiny continuity issues but it is only the time of DVD and BluRay that has made it possible for such tiny things to be studied.
