*** Bond and Felix meeting in Jamaica, though it was for the first time in this movie, [[spoiler: for the LAST time in NTTD.]]

*** [[spoiler: Felix Leiter is betrayed by a colleague, whom Bond kills in cold blood]].

*** During a confrontation, Alec Trevelyan makes a snide comment about how "Bond here will have a small memorial service with only Moneypenny and a few heartbroken restaurateurs." [[spoiler: Well, there were no restaurateurs, but he was right about both the size and at least one of the attendees]].

*** [[spoiler: Bond has only a few minutes to escape an impending missile strike--and the shot of the missiles being launched is very similar--except this time, he doesn't, although that's a conscious decision on his part rather than a failure to escape]].

----> '''Q:''' Never let them see you bleed... Always have an escape plan.

*** [[spoiler: And Felix Leiter's body drifts away from Bond much like Vesper's did.]]

** Bond's first sidearm was a Beretta 418 automatic. In this film, he ends up [[spoiler: making his final kill using a Beretta [=M9A3=] pistol]].

*** At the end of the movie, an enemy of 007 manages to [[spoiler: ensure his death is all but certain by poisoning him.]] Unlike in the novel however, [[spoiler: there's no backup to save Bond, nor any antidote avaliable to cure 007.]].

*** Per the haiku Bond attempts to write during the novel, in this movie, 007 [[spoiler: does end up staring death in the face, calmly watching the incoming Tomahawk land attack missiles fly towards him without flinching.]]

*** Bond spends his retirement in Jamaica fishing, drinking and living in a house by the sea - just like Creator/IanFleming.

*** The original plan for Tracy's death was for her to be killed during the opening sequence. This is referred to when Madeleine, her counterpart, nearly meets this date.

*** While there's no blood dripping down the screen in the gunbarrel sequence, Daniel Craig fades away much like George Lazenby did.

*** Two people die in the toxic pool like the two killed in Blofeld's piranha pool.

*** A mook and Dr. Obruchev's painful deaths in the toxic pool is like Dr. No's in the boiling reactor pool.

*** Two people die painfully in the toxic pool like the two killed in Blofeld's piranha pool.

* The novels:

*** The Hazmat suits are the same as worn by Dr. No's scientists.

*** Sections of Music/JohnBarry's score from it can be heard, notably just before Bond is [[spoiler:reinstated to 00 status]].

** ''Film/TheWorldIsNotEnough'': *** Paintings of Creator/JudiDench and Robert Brown's Ms can be seen in the current M's office.

*** The hourglass and flashes of previous characters, just like in the OHMSS introduction. A

*** The dots in the TitleSequence and the Jamaican setting.

** ''Film/OnHerMajestysSecretService'': *** The clock motif and the statue of a lady with a helmet and a trident (the [[NationsAsPeople national personification]] of [[UsefulNotes/UnitedKingdom Britannia]]) in the opening credits sequence recall similar imagery in the film.

** ''Film/DrNo'': The dots in the TitleSequence and the Jamaican setting. Also, the car in the Cuba sequence is the same car Bond was picked up from the airport in, while the Hazmat suits are the same as worn by Dr. No's scientists. Safin wears a Japanese Noh performer’s mask and he is essentially a botanist, making him a Dr. No of sorts.
** ''Film/{{Goldfinger}}'': To get access to a target, 007 secretly sabotages their vehicle and then offers the target a ride. [[spoiler:In ''Goldfinger'', it's how Bond gets close to Tilly Masterson. In ''No Time to Die'', it's how ''Nomi'' gets close to ''Bond''.]]
** ''Film/{{Thunderball}}'': The silhouette of a diver using a HarpoonGun, though it might just be Bond himself during his retirement in Jamaica.
** ''Film/YouOnlyLiveTwice'': The safety boat Bond uses after the trawler's sinking is the same type Bond and Kissy Suzuki used.
** ''Film/OnHerMajestysSecretService'': The clock motif and the statue of a lady with a helmet and a trident (the [[NationsAsPeople national personification]] of [[UsefulNotes/UnitedKingdom Britannia]]) in the opening credits sequence recall similar imagery in the film, as well as the hourglass and flashes of previous characters, just like in the OHMSS introduction. Additionally, sections of Music/JohnBarry's score from it can be heard, notably just before Bond is [[spoiler:reinstated to 00 status]]. The phrase "We Have all the time in the world" or variations are used more than once. The song "We Have All the Time in the World" is once again played over the closing credits.
** ''Film/LiveAndLetDie'': A white-clad, black female agent enters Bond's hotel room and removes her wig. And the waterfall shower Bond uses is very similar to the one Bond and Solitaire walk past.
** The shot as Bond and Nomi enter Safin's factory is very reminiscent of one in ''Film/TheSpyWhoLovedMe'', while Safin's plan to kill millions echoes both that film and ''Film/{{Moonraker}}'' (although unlike the latter two villains, his motive for doing so is vague). There's also the paintings in Safin's lair resembling those in Stromberg's, a vehicle that converts into a submarine (though it's a plane in this movie), and a chase scene involving cars and a helicopter.
** ''Film/ForYourEyesOnly'': The pre-titles sequence has Bond pay tribute to a deceased lover, only to be attacked by SPECTRE. Bond later kills a villain responsible for an ally's death by kicking a car.
** ''Film/AViewToAKill'': Bond and a dead ally are trapped in a sinking vehicle, though it's a boat in this case, rather than a car. Nomi also says the same thing Stacy did upon discovering the villain's plan--"He'll kill millions!"
** The black Aston Martin V8 Vantage that briefly appears is the same one that appears in ''Film/TheLivingDaylights'', down to the number plate [=B549 WUU=].
** ''Film/LicenceToKill'': [[spoiler: Felix Leiter is betrayed by a colleague, whom Bond kills in cold blood]].
** ''Film/{{Goldeneye}}'': The intros of both movies feature a toppling statue.
** ''Film/TomorrowNeverDies'': Bond and a female agent ride a motorcycle together. [[spoiler: As well, Bond has only a few minutes to escape an impending missile strike--and the shot of the missiles being launched is very similar--except this time, he doesn't, although that's a conscious decision on his part rather than a failure to escape]].
** ''Film/TheWorldIsNotEnough'': Paintings of Creator/JudiDench and Robert Brown's Ms can be seen in the current M's office, while Q's advice before sending Bond and Nomi off on this mission pay direct homage to Creator/DesmondLlewelyn's final lines:

** ''Film/DieAnotherDay'': Bond is first made aware of Felix's interest in bringing him out of retirement by a Delectado cigar being left in his house. The repeated line about being 007, "It's just a number", was also previously spoken by Bond in the movie. Bond and Nomi being briefed aboard the military plane before setting off for Safin's lair is very similar to the beginning of the final action sequence, and like ''DAD'', there's a TimeSkip after the prologue, although this film's is much longer (5 years as opposed to ''DAD''[='s=] 14 months). Like ''DAD''[='s=] Icarus satellite, the villain's superweapon in this film is named after a famous character from Greek Mythology.
** ''Film/{{Casino Royale|2006}}'': The way the main title forms in the film -- the two 'O's lining up vertically with the '7' from the 007 logo placed right under it -- harkens back to the promotional material for. In fact, much of the imagery in the first part of the title sequence is reminiscent of that for ''Casino Royale''. Bond and Madeleine are dressed similarly to Bond and Vesper when they arrive in Matera. (casual clothes for him, a red dress for her) Vesper's theme by Music/DavidArnold also briefly shows up in the GraveMarkingScene. [[spoiler: And Felix Leiter's body drifts away from Bond much like Vesper's did.]]
** ''Film/QuantumOfSolace'': Bond and Felix have a conversation in a bar, a shot during the Cuba sequence is identical to one in the Italy chase sequence, and Bond ends up using the SIG Sauer P226 during the final battle.
** ''Film/{{Skyfall}}'': A character falls through thin ice and nearly drowns before being freed by someone shooting through it (though this time, it's their would-be killer rather than themselves).

** ''Literature/OnHerMajestysSecretService'': At the start of the film [[spoiler:Bond visits [[Film/CasinoRoyale2006 Vesper Lynd's]] grave]], an idea that can be traced back to the book, [[spoiler:where it's revealed that he made an annual pilgrimage to her grave]].
** ''Literature/FromRussiaWithLove'': At the end of the movie, an enemy of 007 manages to [[spoiler: ensure his death is all but certain by poisoning him.]] Unlike in the novel however, [[spoiler: there's no backup to save Bond, nor any antidote avaliable to cure 007.]].
