* ActorAllusion: When Creator/JohnCleese walks behind the invisible car, the light refraction makes him appear for a quick second like he's attempting a [[Series/MontyPythonsFlyingCircus Silly Walk]].

* ActorAllusion: When The "Ornithology" scene between Creator/PierceBrosnan and Creator/HalleBerry. While its a well known throwback to the famous beach scene in Film/DrNo, it's also a reference to Series/RemingtonSteele, which has a scene that is replicated almost beat-for-beat, complete with binoculars, blue shirt, cigar, and plenty of flirtatious [[SexualEuphemism sexual innuendos]], which adds fuel to the theory that Series/RemingtonSteele is a secret prequel to Pierce's James Bond.

* DownerBeginning: Bond fails his mission into North Korea; the North Koreans are able to identify him as an [=MI6=] Agent [[spoiler:because of a mole inside MI6]]. Bond narrowly manages to assassinate Colonel Moon, but at the cost of his own capture and the rest of his team being killed. He is tortured for more than a year before he is returned as part of a PrisonerExchange. M believes he cracked and is ready to force him into retirement, so Bond has to clear his name.

* HoneyTrap: Downplayed; at the hotel in Hong Kong a masseuse is sent to Bond, compliments of the management. Bond starts making the moves on her, causing her to remark that she "isn't that [[HappyEndingMassage kind of masseuse]]." Bond replies that he "isn't that kind of customer", then reaches down and grabs the gun strapped to her thigh. She's actually been sent to spy on him by the management (all Chinese intelligence), who are hiding behind a mirror in the room (it appears Bond's gotten a bit more GenreSavvy since ''Film/FromRussiaWithLove'').

The film holds many vignettes to previous Bond outings, such as Brosnan playing the 'loose cannon' in the tropics (''Film/LicenceToKill''), Halle Berry [[SexySurfacingShot exiting the water]] in SlowMotion (''Film/DrNo''), a diamond-encrusted sky laser (''Film/DiamondsAreForever''), action scenes bordering on self-parody (''Film/{{Moonraker}}'') and many, ''many'' more {{Mythology Gag}}s for [[MilestoneCelebration the series's 40th anniversary]].

* ArtisticLicenceSports: Miranda Frost is described as having won the gold medal in fencing at the 2000 Sydney UsefulNotes/OlympicGames by default, after the real gold medalist's death by drug overdose. While said substances fit a medal revoking transgression, the fact it involves death screws any veracity: either the original gold drugged herself to death before the podium, or died in the 2 years before the film's events - when the International Olympic Committee only strips medals based on the on-site drug tests, or the infractor's own admittance (such as Marion Jones).
** The novelisation explains this a little, stating the winner died the night of her victory.

As usual, [[FromBadToWorse the film opens with a mission in which Bond is betrayed and beaten up]]: this time, the [[UsefulNotes/NorthKorea North Koreans]] have the honor. Freed via a prisoner exchange after 14 months of torture, Bond is aghast to learn his freedom was purchased at the cost of his adversary, a war criminal named Zao (Creator/RickYune), walking scot-free. Discharged by [[UsefulNotes/SecretIntelligenceService MI6]] and receiving a predictably chilly reception from M, Bond [[ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight becomes a rogue agent]] and resumes [[{{Revenge}} hunting for his quarry]].
