* Roofhopping

{{Adele}} has been signed on to do the theme song.

* MissionControl: Q seems to do this in the trailer.

* BlondGuysAreEvil: BigBad Raoul Silva.

* AllStarCast: Stars DanielCraig, JudiDench, [[SchindlersList Ralph]] [[Film/HarryPotter Fiennes]], [[NoCountryForOldMen Javier Bardem]], [[TwentyEightDaysLater Naomie]] [[PiratesOfTheCaribbean Harris]], [[BrightStar Ben Whishaw]] and [[TheBourneSeries Albert Finney]].

* AllStarCast: It's usually the case with a Bond film, but special mention goes to this one with DanielCraig, JudiDench, [[SchindlersList Ral]][[InBruges ph]] [[Film/HarryPotter Fiennes]], [[NoCountryForOldMen Javier Bardem]], [[TwentyEightDaysLater Naomie]] [[PiratesOfTheCaribbean Harris]], [[BrightStar Ben Whishaw]] and [[TheBourneSeries Albert Finney]].

** BeardOfSorrow: Including during a debriefing after some mission gone horribly wrong.
* BlondGuysAreEvil: Raoul Silva, the BigBad.

* CoolCar: The iconic Aston Martin [=DB5=] is back.
* DragonsUpTheYinYang: Seems like the movie takes place during the Chinese New Year. 2012 is the [[EasternZodiac Year of the Dragon]], hence the trope.

* FakingTheDead: Bond has been doing this since his failed mission.

* MacGuffin: A hard drive with the names and locations of the MI6 agents which M loses.
* MythologyGag: Advertisements have been playing up [[http://www.007.com/bond-back-in-turkey/ the return of the franchise to Turkey]], where ''Film/FromRussiaWithLove'' and ''Film/TheWorldIsNotEnough'' were both shot and set.
** Bond's response to meeting Q? [[Film/{{Goldfinger}} "You must be joking."]]

* SceneryPorn: The first teaser alone has at least three flavors - A [[{{China}} Shanghai]] city skyline, giant Chinese Dragon complete with lantern-lit river and the fog-covered [[BonnieScotland valley of Glencoe]]. The cinematographer is [[TrueGrit Ro]][[NoCountryForOldMen ger]] [[TheAssassinationOfJesseJamesByTheCowardRobertFord Dea]][[{{Fargo}} kins]], so this is hardly surprising.

After an operation in Istanbul ends in disaster, Bond is missing and presumed to be dead, the identities of every active undercover MI6 agent are leaked onto the internet, and M becomes the subject of a government review over her handling of the situation. But when MI-6 itself is attacked, Bond's sudden reappearance gives M the pretext she needs to seek out Raoul Silva, a dangerous criminal with a personal connection to both of them.

* BlondGuysAreEvil: Silva, the villain.

* GadgeteerGenius: Complete with giving a gun coded for Bond's palmprint, we again have a Quartermaster, or as this dialogue sets it:

Plot info remains elusive, but WordOfGod states that Bond is threatened by a dark secret from M's past that may become his most dangerous mission yet. Some material is available through the official [[http://www.skyfall-movie.com site]].

* TheNameIsBondJamesBond: After not appearing in ''QuantumOfSolace'', Bond's CatchPhrase is back!

* SinisterSilhouettes: The first trailer shows an antagonist walking away from a burning building, with only his silhouette visible in the darkness.

* [[spoiler:SequelHook: averted.]] What little WordOfGod have said about the plot is that [[spoiler:''Skyfall'' will not follow up on the leads left by ''Quantum of Solace'']].
