* BaseBreakingCharacter: Jinx is a strong contender for the most divisive Bond Girl in the whole series. Her detractors point to most of her dialogue being made up of terrible puns and laughably stereotypical attempts at being a SassyBlackGirl, as well as her very inconsistent level of competence that sees her go from being MoreDeadlyThanTheMale to a DamselInDistress almost from scene-to-scene. On the other hand, her fans give Creator/HalleBerry credit for delivering a strong performance despite the cheesy dialogue, actually don't have a problem with Jinx occasionally having to be saved by Bond since it adds more nuance than one or the other being shown as clearly more competent, and feel that she was in general a well-conceived character who had the bad luck to be in a film where various flaws that had been building up in prior Bond entries grew to the point where they broke the film's back.

* HarsherInHindsight: In a training simulation, Bond approaches a mook holding M hostage. To kill him, [[ShootTheHostage Bond shoots M first]] before doing so.

Cue ''Film/{{Skyfall}}'', where [[spoiler:M ends up being shot in the side by a mook of a former [=MI6=] agent... and due to her age, passes away from blood loss]].

** After playing a Bond villain, Creator/TobyStephens would play James Bond himself in BBC radio adatations of the novels, making Gustav Graves's speech about how he modelled himself as a dark mirror of Bond now sound pretty ironic. Furthermore, when ''Literature/{{Goldfinger}}'' was adapted, Creator/RosamundPike played Pussy Galore.

* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Did M truly believe that Bond had cracked under torture or was she mearly putting on a show in order to set up a BatmanGambit to indirectly help Bond clear his name? Given that M has used this tactic before and how much their relationship has grown over the last three films, it’s not that much of a stretch.

* AmericansHateTingle: Unsuprisingly, the film did poorly in South Korea; audiences there resented the film's portrayal of the South Korean military taking orders from Americans. There was also some outrage over the decision to have a sex scene in the vicinity of a statue of Buddha. As for North Korea, are you even surprised that it wasn't released there? Allegedly the late dictator Kim-Jong Il (who was a James Bond aficionado) did get a hold of a copy, but he was not a fan.

* PresumedFlop: Due to multiple factors (most notably this being Brosnan's final film turn as Bond, the movie franchise being rebooted, and the movie itself developing a reputation as one of the worst installments in the series), the movie is frequently talked about as though it was a financial failure. However, not only did it make big bucks at the box office (grossing just south of $432 million on a $142 million budget), but its reputation as one of the worst Bond movies is [[NewerThanTheyThink a more recent development than widely assumed]]; reviews upon its release were more mixed than outright negative.
