In the pre-titles sequence, Bond visits TracyвЂ™s grave (and her name is on it, so thereвЂ™s no possible mistake). ItвЂ™s the first time since OHMSS the marriage was explicitly referenced.ДЇor Your Eyes Only in 1981 takes the OHMSS continuity play one step further. Bond cuts her off, showing itвЂ™s still a sore subject. Triple-X one ups Bond by starting to talk about his late wife, presumably Tracy from OHMSS. In that film, Bond and Soviet Agent Triple-X (Barbara Bach) are showing off how much they know from each otherвЂ™s dossiers. But there werenвЂ™t many references until previous 007 adventures until 1977вЂ™s The Spy Who Loved Me. THE ROGER MOORE YEARS:В Roger Moore took over as Bond for 1973вЂ™s Live And Let Die.

On top of that, Maurice BinderвЂ™s main titles had an вЂњhourglassвЂќ motif showing the passage of time as well as (non-Sean Connery) clips from the five previous 007 films. Whatever the motivation, dicector Peter Hunt, screenwriter Richard Maibaum and composer John Barry had hit continuity button hard. No and From Russia With Love playing in the background as he does so.ДЄll of this was probably meant to reassure the audience that despite the new face, it was still Bond. More explicitly, when Bond decides to quit, heвЂ™s going through his desk, taking out objects from previous movies, including Honey RiderвЂ™s knife and Red GrantвЂ™s garrote watch, with excerpts from the scores of Dr.

You Only Live Twice had come out in 1967 (and showed BlofeldвЂ™s face on camera for the first time), so thatвЂ™s an apparent reference. M tells Bond heвЂ™s being taken off Operation Bedlam because heвЂ™s had вЂњtwo yearsвЂќ to track down Blofeld but has been unsuccessful. After Dink departs, Leiter says heвЂ™s surprised that Bond has let вЂњa member of the opposition get that close to you.вЂќ BondвЂ™s reply: вЂњWell, they got a lot closer to you in Jamaica, didnвЂ™t they?вЂќДЇive years later, 1969вЂ™s On Her MajestyвЂ™s Secret Service has a new Bond with George Lazenby. After the main titles, Leiter meets Bond again in Miami, where 007 is getting a rubdown from a woman named Dink. In the original film, Bond met CIA agent Felix Leiter for the first time (Leiter wasnвЂ™t in the Ian Fleming novel). In 1964вЂ™s Goldfinger, thereвЂ™s another apparent reference to Dr. Director Terence Young stages the sequence in a very similar (but subtly different) manner as when Bond arrived at the Kingston airport early in Dr. Later, Bond arrives at the Istanbul airport. I havenвЂ™t seen you in six monthsвЂ¦вЂќ Bond manages to buy some time before returning to headquarters. Bond tells a disappointed Sylvia, вЂњWeвЂ™ll do this again some time soon.вЂќ Sylvia replies: вЂњThe last time you said that, you flew off to Jamaica. Their reunion is interrupted when Bond has to call the office and is told he needs to return. No and the two, eh, enjoyed each otherвЂ™s company before Bond flew to Jamaica on the Dr. No, because the man the British will almost certainly send is their agent, James Bond.вЂќДЄfter the plot has started, we finally see Sean ConneryвЂ™s Bond spending a pleasant day making out with girlfriend Sylvia Trench out in the English countryside. Kronsteen tells Blofeld that SPECTRE вЂњwill have the chance for a personal revenge for the killing of our operative, Dr. No-From Russia With Love double feature posterД®arly in the film, SPECTRE chief Ernst Stavro Blofeld is conferring with Kronsteen, his director of planning, and Rosa Klebb, a recent SPECTRE hire from the Soviet Union. ItвЂ™s clearly established that the events of Russia take place a year or less than Dr. IN THE BEGINNING:В 1963вЂ™s From Russia With Love contains a few references to the events of Dr. What follows is a look at continuity over the 53-year (and counting) film series. However, SPECTRE did try to bring them under a continuity. In many ways, the Craig films still made it up as they went along.

The series began anew with 2006вЂ™s Casino Royale, CraigвЂ™s first as 007. Such continuity wasnвЂ™t always present in Bond films, although some of the series produced by Eon Productions displayed connections with other entries.
