But that is extradiegesis. It would be diegesis if the James Bond theme existed in the same universe that James Bond exists in, and if it were, again in that world, known to be attached to either MI6 or James Bond. Of course in our world the theme is attached to Bond, but in our world Bond is not an actual secret agent. The joke works for us, extradiegetically. It could be construed as diegetic if there were a famous movie spy, call him Jim Cumber, in the Bond world, whose theme happens to be the same. This would then explain the wry smile the joke receives in the move. 81.49.6.122 ( talk) 08:22, 11 May 2021 (UTC)
If we are going to have this tidbit, we must also be told why why out of all grotesk clownerie that is the franchise, this one Bond movie was singled out for such scorn! 81.49.6.122 ( talk) 08:27, 11 May 2021 (UTC)
Does this film belong in Category:Films about the Berlin Wall? We see what I assume is the wall briefly at the beginning of the film, but I don't think we see it again and I don't think it is discussed or figures into the plot. GA-RT-22 ( talk) 22:21, 12 August 2021 (UTC)
Since ignorance is quite bold, especially among Wikipedia users, I will clarify, by hook or by crook, that the egg Bond takes to India to lure Kamal Khan is a fake egg. First of all, the British government is not going to risk an original jewel by the goldsmith Carl Fabergé for an intelligence mission, when the most logical thing to do is to return it to the Russian/Soviet government. In addition, when the egg is broken, it is clearly a fake, as a piece of jewellery does not break so easily, not even with the butt of a gun as it is shown in the film. The strategy is obvious; Bond wears a fake egg to make Kamal Khan believe he has the real one that was auctioned at Sotheby's. In that egg, Q installs a small microphone and transceiver. Later the egg is stolen by Magda and given to Kamal, Bond allows it because it is a fake and because he has the transceiver. The egg is broken with the butt of the gun and the rest is history.-- 2800:484:7393:A52E:5900:C918:3D8C:B867 ( talk) 17:58, 24 February 2022 (UTC)
