Trivia

According to Inside 'Dr. No', the introduction of the James Bond character utilizes a technique which is a homage to the 1939 William Dieterle film, Juarez starring Paul Muni. This technique is performed using a series of close-ups of the character without revealing the face, cross-cutting with the other characters in the scene and the gambling table. Finally, the face of the person is revealed, stating his name, "Bond, James Bond." See more »

Goofs

Factual errors: Before Bond shoots Dent, he says "That's a Smith & Wesson and you've had your six." Dent's gun is clearly a Colt Model 1911 which holds seven rounds (or eight with one in the chamber). Also, after Dent fired into the bed, the slide locked back indicating the weapon was empty so there was no reason for him to pick it back up and try to shoot Bond with it. See more »

Quotes

[first lines]
John Strangways: That's it. Hundred honors and ninety below.
Professor R. J. Dent: Nicely done, Strangways. I have to give it to you.
John Strangways: I must leave you for a few minutes. Order a round on my chit, will you Professor.
Professor R. J. Dent: Right.
Gen. Potter: Damn it all! Must you break off at this time every evening?
John Strangways: Sorry, General. My managing director is a creature of habit. There's a call booked through to me every day about this time.
