Trivia
The way Bond orders his first vodka martini is lifted directly from the Ian Fleming novels.

Goofs
When Bond enters his password in the casino, he enters 836547. He later gives the password as VESPER, which on an alpha-numeric keypad would be 837737.

Quotes
James Bond: [to Vesper] Why is it that people who can't take advice always insist on giving it?

Crazy credits
The opening titles is a stylish montage of Bond fights alongside gambling symbols: playing cards, playing card symbols (diamonds, hearts, spades and clubs), kings and queens, and roulette wheels.

Alternate versions
The UK release was cut, this film was originally seen by the BBFC in an unfinished version for advice. The BBFC advised the distributor that the torture scene placed too much emphasis on both the infliction of pain and the sadism of the villain for the requested 12A classification. When the completed version of the film was submitted for classification, reductions to the torture sequence had been made, including the removal of lingering shots of the rope, close shots of Bond's facial reaction and the substitution of a more distant shot of the beating. This re-edited version was acceptable at 12A, where the Guidelines permit violence provided there is no dwelling on detail or emphasis on injuries.

Edited into Omega 'Casino Royale' Television Commercial (2006)

A Great Actor As Bond

What a difference a great actor makes. Daniel Craig is superb as James Bond and parting from that point everything in it is enjoyable, frightening, thrilling just because we're with him. He conquered us from the word go. The initial chase is one of the best in film history and as soon as we get to know this new incarnation of the iconic Ian Fleming character, we're hooked. He's virile but there is room for ambiguity. He's elegant but as, the sensational Eva Green, points out is more acquired than inherited. More working class than even Sean Connery and that works wonders for Mr Bond. The script is more compact and organic. The locations are breathtaking and what else I can say? The series have been reinvigorated, rejuvenated and in one single stroke have secured that this franchise will live forever. A note to Barbara Broccoli, the producer, your father would be so proud. Congratulations!
