Casino Royale Poker Scene Explained
Bond (Daniel Craig) wins the game against Le Chiffre (Mads Mikkelsen). Vesper (Eva Green) gets captured and Bond goes after her but swerves to avoid her on the road and crashes. Le Chiffre tortures him for the account password but Mr. White enters and kills him. Bond blacks out and some time later sees Vesper and Mathis (Giancarlo Giannini) in his hospital room. While recovering, he has Mathis arrested for questioning by MI6. Bond resigns and plans to leave with Vesper but she takes the money out of the account. He chases her to her employers in Venice, kills them all and in the process collapses the building. Vesper drowns in an elevator while Bond tries to get to her. Mr. White escapes with the money. M calls Bond and tells him they need him but that they have run out of leads for Vesper's employers. She informs him that Vesper took the money because she was being blackmailed by some mystery organization and her husband was held captive by them. And the reason why Bond was spared on the night that Le Chiffre was killed was because Vesper made a deal with the organization: Bond's life for the money. Bond looks on her PDA and finds White's number. He finds him, shoots him in the leg and introduces himself... 'Bond. James Bond.'
James Bond, designated Agent 007 (always articulated as “double-oh-seven”) in the British Secret Intelligence Service, or MI6, was the creation of British no. For a James Bond movie that has come to be as revered as Daniel Craig’s Casino Royale has, there’s quite a bit of discussion to be had about how it frames the world of poker.

While Pierce Brosnan’s four-film stint as the spy was a financial success, his final two entries, The World Is Not Enough and especially Die Another Day, were met with negative reviews.
Mojojojo
Continuity mistake: In a scene towards the end of the movie where Bond and Vesper are lying on the beach, Bond has sand on his back through most of the scene. When they start to kiss, in the distant shot towards the end of the scene, he has no sand on his back at all.(01:57:10)
James Bond: Sorry, that last hand nearly killed me.
Trivia: The internal shots of the hotel in Venice Bond is staying in is actually the National Museum in Prague - obviously almost every movie uses random locations, but partly it's very identifiable if you've been there, and also I've recently been there myself, and this is my site, so I'm listing it.
Jon SandysQuestion: What was the *exact* recipe for Bond's cocktail in the casino?
Answer:From the novel: 'Three measures of Gordon's, one of vodka, half a measure of Kina Lillet. Shake it very well until it's ice-cold, then add a large thin slice of lemon peel.'

Check out the mistake & trivia books, on Kindle and in paperback.Casino Royale was the debut of Daniel Craig as the legendary British secret agent James Bond, and it gave the long-running film series a much-needed jolt of adrenaline. Bond had grown increasingly out of touch with the modern world, so making the new movie a flashback set in his early years allowed the character to show levels of inexperience and vulnerability that he hadn’t been able to in some time. That vulnerability also sparked one of the flick’s most notorious scenes, where Bond gets captured by terror financier Le Chiffre.
Strapped to a chair, Bond can do nothing but suffer as Le Chiffre just goes to town on his gonads with a technique known as Dutch Scratching – tearing and beating his gonads with a length of rope. Without showing anything explicit, it manages to communicate pain and danger through excellent acting.
Watch the scene for yourself and cringe along.
Casino Royale Best Scenes
One of the most interesting fan theories coming out in the wake of Casino Royale is that this experience permanently warped Bond’s relationship with women by making him unable to have children. That would explain how the legendary secret agent manages to sleep around in every movie without accidentally making a baby Bond.
