Good point, that would make sense. I think I saw that listed as a "goof" on some websites, but it's most likely deliberate, since it may have been designed to get a laugh as we see Bond play the diplomat and tactfully agree instead.

But there is also the fact that Miss Moneypenny tosses him the "Instant Japanese" handbook. Doesn't that suggest the writers were implying he was new to Nippon?

I think Roald Dahl wrote the script with very little knowledge of the previous films and Broccoli & Saltzman were never particular sticklers for continuity between films so I wouldn't read too much in any such "mistakes".

Opinions on The World Is Not Enough (1999)?

I feel it's probably among the most underrated Bond films.
Only notably flaw I can think of is Richards.

Pros...
--Electra is probably the best seductress of the series (xiena was a bit over the top)
--Solid non campy male villain in Renard.
--Fantastic pre opening credits sequence & boat chase.
--Good ski chase.
--More use of the fun Russian gangster.
--Brosnan being awesome as usual.
--Good sub plot & use of M.
--Great score.
--One of my top favorite opening songs of the franchise.
--Richards looks damn good.
--Torture chair was a fantastic sequence.

Cons...
--Richards is a poor actress, I personally think she was not as horrid as people say, but she was poor.

Denise Richards line delivery is so flat and lifeless. Unlike some other of her attributes. She kills every scene she is in.

Been a James Bond fan for a long long time. My favorite era or Bond was Roger Moore (may he rest in peace). Here are some of my absolute favorites,

Goldfinger
Thunderball
Live and Let Die
For Your Eyes Only
Octopussy
The Living Daylights
Liscense to Kill
Goldeneye
Casino Royale (2006)
Skyfall
Spectre

Im probably one of the few that actually liked the Timothy Dalton era. I went in not expecting to like it because it was after Moore left the franchise but ended up liking the two movies he did a lot.

As for the Craig era, i have liked most of the movies he was in and wanted to like QOS because of Olga but that movie was just very very bland and bad for me.

Roger Moore would've turned 90 years old, yesterday. How did you mark the occasion?
