** [[WatsonianVersusDoylist Doylist answer]]: BMW, despite delivering the car too late to perform any stunts, had still paid to have their car driven in the movie and that was the only place they could fit it in so late. Watsonian answer: MI6 needed to use up some excess budget before the end of the financial month and decided that flying it out on a cargo plane ought to fit the bill.

** Because it's not a Russian security program--it's ''Boris's'' security program. It's all about Boris's arrogance. He's a great programmer, but he's also kind of an idiot.

* You sit on it, but don't take it with you - why would a Russian security program have a 5 digit password? Why would that 5 digit password be a word? Why would the 5 digit password give you a hint? Why would the hint be a question in the enemy's language? I know a few of these questions can be chalked up to Boris' arrogance, but the utter simplicity of Boris' riddle just blows my mind. "Chair" was my second guess after "penis".

** Something you sit on, that you don't take with you when thought of through a pervy mindset seems to be leading to a penis joke, but censors probably didn't want tallywacker, wingwang, or whatever cute name Boris would have thought up so they had her to go with a safer entendre.

*** I can see that criticism, but I think the filmmakers didn't want to show a tank race a train ''right'' after a tank chase through a city. Also, Bond just standing there with his tank is way cooler. Think Dirty Harry atop the bridge when Scorpio kidnapped the school bus. The most unrealistic aspect is, I think, that Bond seems to have the St. Petersburg railroad network memorized. But then, what ''doesn't'' this man have memorized?

* Bond is chasing the bad guys with a tank. When he's about to reach them, they jump on a train, which immediately departs. The train is traveling at a high speed, so you'd think the bad guys managed to escape, but then they see that the tank is waiting for them in a tunnel ahead. How the heck did Bond manage to drive the tank there and place it in a tunnel well before the train got there? Did he use a teleport or something?
