1. This installation of the franchise solidifies it once and for all: running through a plate glass window won't mark you with so much as a scratch, especially if you're wearing a tuxedo during said stunt.
2. MI6's susceptiblity to corruption(we're talkin' personnel that isn't content to sell intell to the opposition: they're actively working for the pukes) that makes the Mexican police and army look certifiably Mayberry-ish by comparison
3.Lea Seydeux: Living testament that being the spawn of two close relatives can, on occasion, produce an achingly delectable result, with nary a web between one of those fingers or toes.
4. Slamming into a car with two seasoned covert operatives seated inside will render them immediately unconscious.
5. Claim to be the chief of British Secret Intelligence to any cop in London; they'll not only bite without so much as asking for ID, but obey a directive to stand their fellow officers down without hesitation.
6. If you're a hatchet man for an international criminal organization tasked with the liquidation of both one of the 00 program's top operatives and the daughter of an assassin, don't bother bringing a gun to the ambush. You won't have to worry about either getting shot by your quarry, much less having a rope and barrel looped round your neck and thrown off of a train.
7. Carrying a back up gun(ankle holster, underneath the rear waistband of one's trousers, etc.)is anathema to one of the world's most formidable Action Men, even when a blood thirsty Dave Bautista is on your tail.
109. Members of the elite 00 team like to sit with their backs against large windows because I guess they don't have any enemies.
110. Even though you're confident enough to tell Blofeld and the entire boardroom that you'll volunteer to kill the Pale King because you're definitely not an amateur, don't make any attempt at fighting back when David Bautista picks you up by your face and starts digging his thumbs into your eyes sockets.
111. Zero to sixty in 3.2 seconds isn't good enough when Bautista's Jaguar can do it in 3.0 seconds, which you would have known if you'd only bothered to look it up on topspeed.com.
112. Whatever you do, DON'T shoot the mouse because the little guy might lead you to the secret room, and then don't bother checking for studs before punching a hole in the wall because you're drunk anyway.
113. When you're holed up in the basement of a cabin in Austria hiding from assassins and your sole purpose in life is to keep your daughter safe, don't simply give James Bond the coordinates to Blofeld's lair, but instead, ignore the surveillance camera on the ceiling because it couldn't possibly be hacked, and tell Bond where to find your daughter, thus placing her in harm's way, and then cryptically mention the name of a hotel in Tangier that has a secret room in the honeymoon suite, which you could have simply explained without involving your daughter at all, and then kill yourself so that if Bond doesn't coincidentally stumble upon a mouse that leads him to said secret room, he can't ever contact you again if he needs to ask a follow up question.
114. It takes less than 3 minutes to scour every room of a building the size of a giant resort hotel, find the girl, untie her, jump down 10 stories to the safety net, find a boat that apparently had keys in its ignition, and then speed off to a safe distance before the whole place blows.
114. After Blofeld crawls away from the burning helicopter that you downed with your pistol from several hundred yards away, and you decide not to kill him but instead, to empty your ammo cartridge on the ground in a symbolic gesture, be sure not to check him for weapons before you casually turn your back and walk away, because I guess your instincts assured you that there's no reason to suspect that the psychopath who's been torturing you from the shadows for decades might be packing.
113. When you're holed up in the basement of a cabin in Austria hiding from assassins and your sole purpose in life is to keep your daughter safe, don't simply give James Bond the coordinates to Blofeld's lair, but instead, ignore the surveillance camera on the ceiling because it couldn't possibly be hacked, and tell Bond where to find your daughter, thus placing her in harm's way, and then cryptically mention the name of a hotel in Tangier that has a secret room in the honeymoon suite, which you could have simply explained without involving your daughter at all, and then kill yourself so that if Bond doesn't coincidentally stumble upon a mouse that leads him to said secret room, he can't ever contact you again if he needs to ask a follow up question.
This one has me cracking up!! Seriously, there was no reason to involve her at all! But hey, you never know, maybe Mr. White just thought James could use "one last screw" before he died a sad and pathetic washed up assassin, and what better than his young, attractive, fkd in the head from daddy issues daughter half his age??
115. Bond, regardless of losing the love of his life Vesper, losing agent Fields, His Mother M and the countless hundreds of other terrorist acts that the Pale King/Mr. White was involved in/committed prior to leaving Spectre, Bond will simply forgive and forget and offer to help him.
116.A. M, regardless of being completely out of the loop on anything associated with Spectre, would know the VITAL piece of information/contact that would lead to unraveling everything.
116.B. And even though she witnessed first hand the high tech hackery Silva was able to perform on her own computer, she would send said VITAL clue in one lone video email message to Bond with no backup and no worries that it would be intercepted.
If a particularly deadly henchmen (Hinx) is knocked out after a chase, don't finish him off with a bullet to the head for there's a chance he may repent and quit the life of crime after waking up. Or not. If the big bad that's been secretly plotting to destroy you and control the world is somehow knocked out by a bomb watch while trying to kill, again, it's best just leave him alive, walk away and hope for the best.
