How do you determine country of origin for films?
[edit]This film says it is a "British-American" film. Other Bond films say simply "British" film, including the previous two, "The World is Not Enough", and "Tomorrow Never Dies". How is this distinction made? Is this simply a bias of whoever wrote intro for each movie? Also note, that this film shows release dates for the US and UK on the right and lists the country of origin there as both. The previous two Bond films only show UK.
May not see like a big deal, but obviously this is not just about Bond films or only about British/American films. Ah...no one will probably see this. But we could probably have more consistency. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.204.84.214 (talk) 13:38, 6 October 2018 (UTC)
- I don't have a definitive answer, but I think it's generally based on what countries the production companies are located in. So if you look at the Production Companies section of the IMDb "Companies" page for the film, you find Eon Productions, Danjaq, MGM, and UA. If you click on a company name and then click the "View full company info" link, unfortunately nowadays you'll find yourself on a "redacted" page on their subscription-based IMDbPro site, but there are ways to "unredact" the content you're looking for (I'll leave that as an exercise for the reader), or it can be looked up elsewhere. In the case of this film, Eon is U.K.-based, while the other three are U.S.-based, thus a U.K.-U.S. coproduction. --Dan Harkless (talk) 02:02, 28 July 2019 (UTC)
Revert vandalism
[edit]I was wondering why for no apparent reason the wrong budget figure and an incorrect box office gross figure was listed. I managed to track it down to a single edit from March 2017 that inexplicably added an extra $3 million to both figures. I've reverted this and included an inline reference to make it easier for people to verify that the figures are correct. It might feel like overkill to have these references directly in the Infobox but unfortunately they are necessary. -- 109.76.158.143 (talk) 11:58, 10 August 2019 (UTC)
- "Overkill" (LOL)—just appreciating the context. – AndyFielding (talk) 05:52, 19 July 2022 (UTC)
Added the Moonraker adaptation
[edit]As the closest adaptation of the novel.
Moonraker adaptation
[edit]Added this part as the closets. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1700:4000:62E0:415C:E582:A79E:5F19 (talk) 20:34, 4 June 2020 (UTC)
- You would need to cite a reliable source verifying that. DonQuixote (talk) 20:36, 4 June 2020 (UTC)
Inflation comment irrelevant
[edit]- Nevertheless, Die Another Day was the highest-grossing James Bond film up to that time unadjusted for inflation.
As this refers to prior films, the effect of inflation on receipt figures is irrelevant here—thus I've presumed to remove the last three words. I also live in a small town and have had too much coffee. – AndyFielding (talk) 05:51, 19 July 2022 (UTC)
MI-6 invasion sequence?
[edit]Certainly one of the most significant sequences comes after M meets Bond in the abandoned subway station and she reinstates his 00 status. He has returned to MI-6 HQ when he hears shots and realizes it has been invaded by an enemy force. He runs to M's office and finds that Moneypenny has been killed—and the action continues from there. And nothing about it here in the Plot section? I won't presume to add an entry myself, but it seems to merit. – AndyFielding (talk) 12:11, 6 January 2023 (UTC)
Oh, LOL, never mind—I now recall that it was Q's virtual combat trainer, not a "real" event. 🙄 Sorry for the confusion. – AndyFielding (talk) 12:16, 6 January 2023 (UTC)
- BTW, I would've simply removed my silly topic—but for some reason, the mobile version of WP's Talk editor lets us only post, not edit. (Does this mean we cease being "editors" during that time?) – AndyFielding (talk) 12:19, 6 January 2023 (UTC)
