References to past movies in TWINE

[channi...@mindspring.com]

I just saw TWINE tonight...throughly enjoyable.

I thought that the references to the previous Bond movies in TWINE was
a nice touch.... giving homage to the Bond movie legacy.
The Russian office in Istanbul was very reminiscent of the Soviet
embassy in FRWL where Tatiana worked (in fact, wasn't it the exact
same place?) . The underground canals where the submarine docked also
reminded me of the canals Bond traveled across to spy on the embassy
in FRWL.
I also liked the portrait of past "M" Bernard Lee in MI6 headquaters
(at least I think it was him)

Did anyone catch any other references to past Bond movies?

The title, obviously.

I already posted a bunch of these.

Ski scene, OHMSS. Avalanche, OHMSS. Elektra's ski outfit, like Tracy's
clothes in parts of OHMSS. Elektra's self-destructive pattern, a la OHMSS.
Guy flying off cliff in ski sequence, OHMSS.

Boat chase going on land was like Moonraker's gondola scene.

Bond and Dr. Jones escape submarine through torpedo tube like Bond exited in
YOLT.

Bernard Lee's Portrait.

Chainsaw helicopters were like helicopter chase in FRWL and yo-yo saw in OP.

Going inside a pipeline - Koskov in TLD and Bond in DAF.

Reference to greek mythology's Electra (in the movie the name is Elektra,
with a K not a C). In FYEO Melina says, "Greek Women, like Electra, always
avenge their loved ones." Electra's father, in Greek Mythology, was
murdered by her mother and her mother's lover, and Electra and her brother
got revenge by killing their mother and their mother's lover.

Seduction of Dr. Molly Warmflash is like the spa/shower seduction in
Thunderball.

Obviously, the title.

And in the marketing of the movie, the OHMSS theme appears in at least one
TV ad.

Although the music was buried underneath the action sound effects,
didn't the music in this section have a few references to that film?

Experience is what causes a person to make new mistakes instead of old ones.

Another referrence to previous films was M's exclamation "007!" when she sees
the infrared image of Bond and Christmas. Mush like the final scene in TSWLM,
when M see's 007 and XXX in the escape pod.

And in MR, too, when the on-board space shuttle camera comes on, and M, Q, and
the Minister Of Defence are in the NASA Control Room:

M: "007!"

MoD: "My God, what's Bond doing?!?"

Q: "I think he's attempting re-entry, sir."
