* InevitableWaterfall: During the hovercraft chase in the ActionPrologue, Bond manages to immobilize Moon on the giant hovercraft's blower at full speed and lets the vehicle crash through a zen sanctuary's wooden door, with is situated atop a waterfall. The hovercraft then plummets down the waterfall.

* PreMortemOneLiner: Bond, as usual, gives one to Graves, with the bonus of turning his own line against him:

* InventionalWisdom: Graves has a suit that he can use to shock people. For reasons that are not entirely clear, but possibly related to Vlad entirely trusting his boss (with good reason), there's a button on the front that causes it to electrocute the guy wearing it.

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome:
** Say what you will about the second half of the movie, the early parts are surprisingly realistic. After getting made by Colonel Moon, Bond chases him down and off a cliff. He's then captured by the North Korean forces. Bond finds himself disavowed by MI-6 and proves utterly unable to break out on his own. He is only allowed to get back to his people when M trades him with a high-ranking terrorist, and even then M still refuses to send him back to the field, instead locking him up for a thorough screening program lest he be turned.
** A side effect of the MagicPlasticSurgery that turned [[spoiler:Colonel Moon]] into Gustav Graves is that he's now an insomniac, and thus must spend an hour each day in a REM machine to keep himself sane.

After the film's release, Eon Productions decided a reboot was needed to bring the series back to its more grounded DarkerAndGrittier roots even going back to [[Literature/CasinoRoyale the very first]] ''Bond'' novel. Despite being in his early 50s at the time, Pierce Brosnan was still anticipated to reprise the role (Creator/RogerMoore played Bond till he was 57, after all). However, in February 2005, Brosnan was told by the producers that he was replaced, and in October of that year, Creator/DanielCraig was officially announced as the new Bond.

* ArtisticLicenseMilitary: Jinx claims to be an agent from the National Security Agency (NSA). The NSA is a signal intelligence agency which does not send agents into the field.

*** The Aston Martin has nails in the tires as the Aston Martin used in ''The Living Daylights''.

* WithinArmsReach: The film has the climatic showdown between James Bond and the villain Gustav Graves aboard an aircraft with a gaping hole in its fuselage. Graves has Bond at his mercy, largely by wearing PoweredArmor. Bond, however, pulls the ripcord on Graves's parachute, deploying it, whereupon the turbulence pulls Graves out of the aircraft.

* HoistByHisOwnPetard: At the end of the film, [[spoiler:Graves' electric suit is turned against him after he's hanging out of a hole in the plane. When Bond triggers the electrocution, the no-longer-grounded Graves is shocked and loses his grip, getting dragged into the engine.]]

* NotSoDifferent: Gustav Graves states that his persona is based on James Bond. Ironically, it's made him the toast of England.

* WithinArmsReach: The film has the climatic showdown between James Bond and TheVillain Gustav Graves aboard an aircraft with a gaping hole in its fuselage. Graves has Bond at his mercy, largely by wearing PoweredArmor. Bond, however, pulls the ripcord on Graves's parachute, deploying it, whereupon the turbulence pulls Graves out of the aircraft.

* BeautyIsNeverTarnished: Played with; Bond is filthy with a shaggy beard and hair after being tortured for 14 months. This is the character at his most unkempt in the entire ''series'', and audiences at the time were a bit shocked to see him in such a dishevelled state. However, Bond is still in remarkably good shape for someone who had endured that type of hell for so long. All it takes are a single shave, a hair cut, a proper dinner, and a change of clothes for him to become sexy again.

* DisposableVagrant: A doctor provides MagicPlasticSurgery for his patients by re-writing their DNA. This process requires DNA from other people; the doctor mentions that most of this is harvested from vagrants and other people who won't be missed.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: The body-altering technology in Cuba, and the [[ItsPersonal savage ferocity]] with which Gustav Graves attacks Bond in their duel.

* OminousLatinChanting: The epic theme for [[KillSat Icarus]].

* SecondPlaceIsForLosers: [[spoiler:Miranda Frost]] betrayed her country solely because she got a silver medal in the Olympics, and the villain of the movie offered to make it look like the gold winner cheated.

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Say what you will about the second half of the movie, the early parts are surprisingly realistic. After getting made by Colonel Moon, Bond chases him down and off a cliff. He's then captured by the North Korean forces. Bond finds himself disavowed by MI-6 and proves utterly unable to break out on his own. He is only allowed to get back to his people when M trades him with a high-ranking terrorist, and even then M still refuses to send him back to the field, instead locking him up for a thorough screening program lest he be turned.

** When John Cleese walks behind the invisible car, the light refraction makes him appear for a quick second like he's attempting a [[Series/MontyPythonsFlyingCircus Silly Walk]]. Another for Cleese is the just-mentioned "[[Film/MontyPythonAndTheHolyGrail only a flesh wound]]."

* WholeCostumeReference:

Overall reception was...let's be generous and say "mixed". EON productions then decided a reboot was needed to bring the series back to its more grounded DarkerAndGrittier roots even going back to [[Literature/CasinoRoyale the very first]] ''Bond'' novel. Despite being in his early 50s at the time, Pierce Brosnan was still anticipated to reprise the role (Creator/RogerMoore played Bond till he was 57).

** Bond talking to M while separated by glass is a nod to the opening chapter of ''Literature/TheManWithGoldenGun'' where a brainwashed Bond attempts to assassinate M, only to be foiled by a plate of glass.

* BlackDudeDiesFirst: During the simulated training exercise, Robinson is shot, presumably fatally, while Bond is unscathed

-->'''Jinx''': ''(stabs her)'' Read this! Bitch!

->''"So, you live to die another day..."''

** Colonel Moon was a nod to Kingley Amis' novel ''Colonel Sun''. In fact, he was supposed to the same character, but legal reasons prevented this.

* AdaptationNameChange: Elements of the film story were based upon Creator/IanFleming's original novel ''Literature/{{Moonraker}}''. As confirmed by [[WordOfStPaul Rosamund Pike]], Miranda Frost was originally named Gala Brand, which was the name of the Bond girl in the original book. Gustav Graves, meanwhile, is based upon the original novel's version of Sir Hugo Drax.
