* The sight of Bond in what amounts to pajamas with his chest open and bared, long shaggy hair and beard, walking barefoot into a posh Hong Kong hotel and politely asking for "my usual suite." The clerk naturally is snobby as hell as he asks if Bond has "a credit card...or luggage?" When Mr. Chang comes up, he barks to the guy to give Bond whatever he wants and the man rushes even while not understanding why his boss is giving the Presidential suite to what looks like a homeless lunatic.
