 Die Another Day. Among Bond fans, it is infamously known as The One with the overload of CGI, the invisible car, the kite surfing on the tsunami and the terrible dialogue. But it was also the Bond movie celebrating its 40 year anniversary back in 2002. And just like I previously did a video of how No Time to Die referenced all Bond movies in one shape or form, Die Another Day did it first. So we're going to be looking at how Die Another Day referenced all Bond movies. Or, well, at least all Bond movies. Up until that point. Of course we're starting off with the most obvious reference of all with Hella Berry as Jinx, emerging from the ocean in a clear homage to Honey Rider. And they included the knife strap to her hip just like the original. But a much more subtle reference to Dr. No, did you ever notice the gum barrel noise at the beginning of Dr. No is also heard during Bond's escape from the MI6 ship? The famous scene that is often used as the definitive audition scene for new Bond actors in From Russia With Love features a line that is homage in Die Another Day. The Specter agent secretly filming the love making behind the mirror is of course also there in Die Another Day's hotel room. Q's lab will be featured often in this video and is full of references to past Bond films. And From Russia With Love's Atachi case and Rosa Klapp's Poison Tip Chew are among these. Bond revealing a perfectly dry suit after emerging from the water in a wet suit is a clear homage to Goldfinger, as of course is the famous laser scene almost killing Bond. In Die Another Day's case, it was almost Jinx. In both films Bond makes use of his Aston Martin's ejector seat feature and Q's famous line also gets an homage. Speaking of Q, did you ever notice the subtle placement of the golden bars on the top shelf? And of course, both main villains are sucked out of an open airplane. A cool reference to Thunderball is Bond going through a medical clinic picking up some grapes along his way, as well as Bond using the breeding apparatus to make a long swim underwater. Lastly, back in Q's lab, Thunderball's jetback is prominently featured. He only lives twice features Bond's changing his appearance to an Asian man, while Die Another Day features the opposite with an Asian man literally changing his ethnicity to a Caucasian man. On Her Majesty's Secret Service and Die Another Day, both feature the rare occurrence of seeing Bond alone in his own office. In both movies Bond enters a hotel and is quickly recognized by the manager ordering the staff around in their native languages. Also, and it's really hard to mention these two in the same vein, but in both instances Bond narrowly escapes a dangerous avalanche. Although, of course, we all know in Die Another Day, his way of escape was a bit more extravagant. As Bond is on his way back to London in the plane, the movie title Diamonds Are Forever can be seen at the bottom of the magazine. Of course, diamonds are prominently featured in the plot of Die Another Day 2, as is the villain scheme of using a weaponized satellite to attack the earth. Gustav Graves' office in the villain layer also is a clear homage to Cat Adams' film set for Blofeld's villain layered office. Live and Let Die and Die Another Day are two movies in which Bond is prominently seen smoking a cigar. The puppy fields exploding also are very similar in the way the mine fields are exploding in the climax. The rotating mirrors in the clinic are a homage to Skaramanga's villain layer in The Man with the Golden Gun. Though the laser satellite itself is very similar to the satellite in Diamonds, the harnessing of solar power concentrated into a laser beam is similar to Skaramanga's use of the Solex agitator. Probably second to Honey Rider's reference, the most obvious one is the Union Jack parachute used by Gustav Graves, much like Bond did in the pre-title sequence of The Spy Who Loved Me. The sword fight between Bond and Gustav Graves is very similar to the sword fight between Bond and random samurai dude in Moonraker, and both films also feature a villain falling down a waterfall. Both surviving it too. Another film set homage that at the very least seems very similar to Cat Adams' film set in Moonraker. I'm not sure that this was an intentional homage, but the inspiration sure seems to be there. Both For Your Eyes Only and Die Another Day feature Bond hanging down a cliff with pretty much nothing but a rope. Also, the yellow diving helmet is among some of the many objects barely visible in the background of Q's lab. A lot of Octopuses gadgets are referenced in Q's lab too, including the Actro Star Minijet, the Crocodile Submarine, and the Magic Rope. But Jinx dropping down into the sea seems to mirror Magda's balcony jump as well. Sticking with Q's lab, Q's robot cat can immediately be spotted as Bond enters the lab. Both films feature Bond's cover being blown by facial recognition software. And both films also feature a villain's goon clumsily falling off a snow mobile. The establishing shot straight after the gun barrel is strikingly similar to the one in the Living Daylights. In both films, Bond's Aston Martin has the feature of snow spikes appearing from the tires. And the most obvious homage is Bond escaping a doomed plane through the exit ramp in a vehicle. In License to Kill, Bond gets his license revoked and goes rogue. This plot point was again reused in Die Another Day. Bond's laser watch from GoldenEye reappears. Though if you want to be cynical, originally the first appearance of a laser watch in the series was actually in Never Say Never Again. Though this was not Eon produced and it's not part of the official series, I always had a feeling that in GoldenEye they took inspiration from Never Say Never Again. The way in which Zhao is killed with the chandelier falling on top of him seems to mirror the death of Alec Trevelyan. I don't know what it is with Tomorrow Never Dies and the navy ship firing the rockets as that was also my reference that no time to die uses for Tomorrow Never Dies, but here they actually reuse the same footage for Die Another Day. Also, both movies feature Bond rotating in a vehicle while firing a weapon, taking out all and everything surrounding him. Also, both of Bond's gadget-laden cars are remote-controlled and feature a computerized female voice. And although this is more of a reference to the novels than it is to Tomorrow Never Dies, the character of Bond is known to be sleeping with a gun under his pillow. This was of course also shown to be a character trait in Die Another Day. Both The World Is Not Enough and Die Another Day feature Bond trusting a woman he ends up sleeping with, who turns out to be a baddie. He ends up killing Electra in cold blood in The World Is Not Enough and was fully ready to do so again in similar fashion in Die Another Day, if it wasn't for Miranda emptying his gun because of the gun under his pillow. How cool would that cold blood of kill have been though? But, just like No Time To Die, Die Another Day also referenced itself. Obviously, the movies coming after Die Another Day can't be referenced, because they weren't made yet, though if you look hard enough, I'm sure you could find similarities with Craig's films as well. Of course, Die Another Day does get referenced in No Time To Die with the Delictados cigar. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this quick video.
