Google Translate (roughly) helps us see the Russian headlines the soldier reads on the toilet in GoldenEye (1995) before James Bond (Pierce Brosnan) gives him the surprise of his life. The roughly translated text seen is:
- “Twenty years ago, the Central Committee of the CPSU released first soviet football player to earn money in a foreign club”
- “Mateus will not lie”
- “Onin lived in Burma like a king, but worked like an ox”
Any Russians out there want to help out further?
On his flight back to London in Die Another Day (2002), James Bond reads the Gustav Graves cover article of the in-flight British Airways magazine High Life. Check out the transcript of the rather neat article below the pictures and after the jump. It details some interesting facts about Graves’ life.

In this 30 second interstitial scene from Tomorrow Never Dies (1997), we catch the rare sight of James Bond, 007 drinking shots of vodka. And warm ones at that! Yuck!
While James Bond (Pierce Brosnan) recovers from the brawl at the Carver Media Group Network (CMGN) event, he apparently can’t find the time to mix up a traditional vodka martini, shaken not stirred. Instead, he opts for the quick numbing effects of Smirnoff vodka shots, after which ensuring the silencer is properly attached to his Walther PPK. As one does.
You may remember that Bond rips shots of tequila in Skyfall (2012) with his scorpion friend, but I think this is the only time we see him take vodka shots in the entire series. Salut!

James Bond (Pierce Brosnan) and Dr. Molly Warmflash (Serena Scott Thomas) inspect a virtual image of the skull of Victor Zokas ‘Renard’ (Robert Carlyle), containing a bullet that will gradually make him feel no pain and eventually kill him in The World Is Not Enough (1999)

There, I said it. And yes, it is better than Pierce Brosnan’s first outing as 007 in GoldenEye (1995). * GASP *
