| Komodo dragon - Dr No
While on the subject I did think that line "I've really f*****ed this up" was such a splendid nod to DAD! |

| Mirrors in the title sequence, and the glass panes when Bond goes after the assassin - reminded me of Man With the Golden Gun. |

| This might be a bit of a stretch, but ... Land Rover used in the pre-credits sequence - The Living Daylights? |

| Silva's death was the same as Kristatos' death in For Your Eyes Only.
And I think we've forgotten Skyfall's best homages of all, the office and the office door in the final scene. |

| A real stretch might be the shower scene, Thunderball.
I think I was reaching for a great deal early on |

| Spotted on my second viewing yesterday that the date on Silva's whisky bottle label is 1962. |

| Hehehe, really? One to look out for on the 3rd viewing.
They're a little more subtle than DAD's, anyway.

there's no bobsled alas, :) You've seen things that totally slipped me by is all. I doubt there's any OHMSS homage in Skyfall. Even a drunk Aussie at a bar. |

- Bond's obituary (You Only Live Twice)
- Moneypennys Dress (A homage to Lois Maxwells) |

| Bond's line to Eve "Stop touching your ear" (Casino Royale)
When Bond walks to the beach bar the music is clearly reminiscent of the music from the start of Dr No.

| When they reveal the DB5, there's a definite Goldfinger blast in the soundtrack |

| Craig's "Such a view" line. A View to a Kill perhaps? |

| Possibly.
Had forgotten about the beach bar reminding me of the one in Dr No. |

| Craig's "For Your Eyes Only" and, in the italian version, the italian title of AVTAK (moving target).
The explosive gun from GoldenEye gets mentioned.
The red button in the DB5 from Goldfinger. |

| In a speech with Silva in isolation she says that 'regret is unprofessional'. A line used from the ending of Quantum Of Solace. |

| I was pleased to note a reference to a literary Bond outing: Bond attempting to shoot the glass from Severeine's head recalls Scaramanga's dare to him in chapter ten of THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN GUN. |

| Bond's interview with the psychiatrist is also a reference to Fleming's TMWTGG. |

| Lots of references to TMWTGG, including the idea of a brainwashed/tortured assassin (Silva) attempting to kill M, and of course Scaramanga's homosexuality. The film version is also drawn from, with Severine being an updated Andrea Anders, with hints of TSWLM's Viv Mitchell in Bond exploring her sexual past. |

That phrase was also used in the opening page of Goldfinger. |

| That's right. After Bond kills the Mexican he drinks alone at the airport and broods. |
