In the first poker game where Bond wins the car, the keys are placed in the pot representing the bet. Bond wins, then asks for the valet tag. If the car was parked by the valet, the keys would have been at the valet stand. However, in the shot where the "keys" are thrown into the pot, it can be seen that it is only a key ring and not the actual keys to the car. It's most likely a lucky charm. See more »

What a difference a great actor makes. Daniel Craig is superb as James Bond and parting from that point everything in it is enjoyable, frightening, thrilling just because we're with him. He conquered us from the word go. The initial chase is one of the best in film history and as soon as we get to know this new incarnation of the iconic Ian Fleming character, we're hooked. He's virile but there is room for ambiguity. He's elegant but as, the sensational Eva Green, points out is more acquired than inherited. More working class than even Sean Connery and that works wonders for Mr Bond. The script is more compact and organic. The locations are breathtaking and what else I can say? The series have been reinvigorated, rejuvenated and in one single stroke have secured that this franchise will live forever. A note to Barbara Broccoli, the producer, your father would be so proud. Congratulations!
