The Anticipator: Played for creepy effect with Blofeld, who always seems to know when Bond will show up, even outfitting rooms in his Supervillain Lair with personal photographs for his 'guests'.It doesn't help that the one we ended up with, a nighttime chase in London between the hero and the leader of the resident Nebulous Evil Organization, which culminates in the latter being captured, while the hero and his allies prevent said organization from gaining control of encrypted data files- was very similar to the finale of Mission: Impossible Rogue Nation, released earlier the same year. A leak of the script during the Sony hacking scandal revealed that the studio executives regarded the original ending as even worse (the suppression of an important document, deemed rather boring for the plot of a Bond movie) and the film ended up having five or six writers, one of whom was Daniel Craig himself.
Alas, Poor Villain: Quantum leader Mr.White's return featured heavily in promotional material, but he only appears in a single scene and shoots himself in the chin in that scene. She is in it for literally just five minutes, during which she only goes to bed with Bond and gives him information before he sends her to the U.S. Monica Bellucci makes her debut in the 007 franchise as the oldest Bond girl to date."Blofeld" is his mother's maiden name, which he uses after rejecting the name his father gave him. Adaptation Name Change: In contrast to the original novels and the previous films, Blofeld's real name is revealed to be Franz Oberhauser.Daniel Craig appears in another Sam Mendes film where an orphan is taken in and the biological son ruins the family because of his jealousy.When Oberhauser referred to visiting Madeleine's house to see her father, was he talking about when she was a child, or once upon a time in Nazi-occupied France?.He also asks Bond why he was "pottering" around Mexico. Ralph Fiennes, as a British spy, once again noticeably brandishes an umbrella while in a pinstripe suit.His sniping attempt fails, a chase ensues and climaxes with a fight within a helicopter (which does several dangerous barrel rolls and a vertical ascent as they wrestle), with Bond throwing Sciarra and the pilot to their death and narrowly regaining control of the aircraft before it crashes and causes casualties in the below crowd. Action Prologue: Bond is sent to Mexico City during Día de Muertos to kill terrorist Marco Sciarra.Action Politician: Although M spends most of the film battling political forces, he arms himself along with Bond in the finale as they prepare to take down Max Denbigh and the Nine Eyes programme.
