message: "The film premiered on 21 December 1965 in the United States — a first for a James Bond film - ...."
Am I missing something? Why is this date memorable as a "first"?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.81.177.234 (talk) 08:25, 4 June 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: The date is not significant but the place is. Previous Bond films had premiered in the UK. –Saruwine (talk) 22:59, 21 January 2011 (UTC)

message: I'll post this on the Skyfall talk page as well: Using the US Inflation Calculator, I calculate the adjusted box office earnings for Thunderball (unadjusted $141.2m) to be $1,031,974,768.25. This uses the latest available CPI data from the US government. Therefore, Skyfall will have to break the $1.032 barrier to successfully overtake Thunderball as the highest grossing Bond film (adjusted for inflation). Until such a time, please don't update the claim. Thanks. drewmunn (talk) 08:15, 8 January 2013 (UTC)

message: I just think how funny that WIKI considers "Rotten Tomatoes.com" the definitive choice for society's review of films.

replies: text: First off, please create a new section for a new topic. There is a button at the top of each talk page for this. Also, please sign posts using 4 tildes (~~~~). Finally, this isn't really the place to be debating what sites we use to provide review aggregations. All this aside, Rotten Tomatoes is one of the best, but we also use Metacritic to ensure impartiality. drewmunn talk 19:33, 8 March 2013 (UTC)
replies: text:  Rotten Tomatoes provides a useful but limited overview, flawed as it may be it provides a consistent approach. It is not the be-all-and-end-all, other options such as Metacritic and MRQE also exist. Specific reviews and comments from individual critics are what is most important though, I don't think anyone wants to put unnecessary emphasis on Rotten Tomatoes, and the best articles focus on the reviews. -- 109.76.202.17 (talk) 17:22, 10 March 2021 (UTC)
thread_title: Untitled section: Rotten Tomatoes

message: The article states that the title sequence of Thunderball was the first nudity (albeit concealed) in a 007 film, but that is not correct, in From Russia With Love released in 1963 there is a shot from behind and to the side of a nude body double for the main actress getting into a bed. This occurs at 53 minutes 9 seconds into the film and lasts for two to three seconds. It's shot through sheer curtains but there is a very clear view of her bottom and a murkier view of her breasts including as she partially turns toward the camera.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sexplosion (talk • contribs) 10:48, 27 September 2015 (UTC)

message: It was ages ago since I saw this film, but I'm quite sure one could get a good glimpse at the bombs recovered from the sunken Vulcan. Can anyone say if the bombs were pointed like the Violet Club or blunt-nosed like the Yellow Sun? I would like to know if the dummies used in the film have any similarities with the real bombs and if so include that information in the swedish article :sv:Avro Vulcan. /Esquilo (talk) 12:56, 6 July 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: You're better off finding a reliable source that would answer your question as you can't cite a talk page. DonQuixote (talk) 13:11, 6 July 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: The film photage itself would be reliable enough, but I don't have acces to that at the time being. /Esquilo (talk) 13:50, 6 July 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Nope, you'll need a secondary source to identify them as Violet Club or Yellow Sun or any other real bomb, otherwise it'll be original research. DonQuixote (talk) 14:09, 6 July 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: A primary source such as the film is perfectly acceptable, but I guess enwp is just as unhelpfull and unfriendly as six years ago when I stopped editing here for just that reason. /Esquilo (talk) 11:22, 7 July 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: The primary source doesn't say whether it's a Violet Club or Yellow Sun or any other real bomb, so it's not helpful in that regard. And how is following policy unfriendly? DonQuixote (talk) 14:12, 7 July 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: First you don't respect the fact that different language versions do not apply the same set of rules. Secondly, you have not answered my question, only provided excuses not to answer it. /Esquilo (talk) 12:39, 11 July 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Sorry, but I'm not going to engage in original research for you. As I have suggested before, you should probably look up this information in a reliable source such as a book. DonQuixote (talk) 14:10, 11 July 2016 (UTC)

text: Also, yes, different language versions do not apply the same set of rules. So you need to remember that when you ask us (English Wikipedia) to do something contrary to our rules. that we can't do what you ask us to do. Please respect that we have our rules that we can't break. DonQuixote (talk) 14:41, 11 July 2016 (UTC)

message: The second paragraph in the plot section starts with an error. It states, "Bond is sent by M to the Shrublands clinic to improve his health." That is true of the novel but not of the film. It is never mentioned why Bond is at Shrublands I the film. Anyone mind if it is changed to something more accurate? SonOfThornhill (talk) 00:26, 25 January 2017 (UTC)

thread_title:  "too many long underwater sequences" 

message: The Cast section described Volpe as "SPECTRE assassin who becomes Derval's mistress to kill and replace him with his double ...."  It would be unlikely but not impossible for Domino Derval to have a lesbian mistress, so I specified that Volpe was Francois Derval's mistress.  This seems to follow from the plot summary.  I haven't seen the movie so I hope someone who has can confirm.  69.117.8.89 (talk) 00:12, 15 August 2020 (UTC)

message: "Huntington Hartford gave permission to shoot footage on his Paradise Island and is thanked at the end of the film."
Yes, that's right but his first name has there been misspelt to Huntingdon!
Let's hope that happened erroneously not intentionally.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Orbis*Non*Sufficit (talk • contribs) 01:46, 4 November 2020 (UTC)

message: There is no mention in the Plot section of the pre-credit sequence where Bond attends a SPECTRE agent's funeral.  This is of particular note as it leads to the ommision of the presence of the Bell Rocket Belt in the movie. I would note that the use of the Fulton Recovery system at the end does get mentioned.
