If all that sounds like a convoluted mess it is because the film is a convoluted mess.Īlmost 40 years later, we see a far more serious James Bond at the beginning of his career.

In the end a large battle ensues and an atomic bomb explodes, sending Sir James Bond and his agents towards Heaven, while Jimmy Bond is seen descending into hell. He also reveals his plan to use biological warfare to make all women beautiful and kill all men over 4-foot 6-inches. Bond learns that his nephew, Jimmy Bond, had left MI6 for SMERSH to take on the role of killing all spies. La Chiffre is killed by SMERSH for his failure to win, but not before he hallucinogenically tortured Evelyn Tremble in an effort to get the winning check.

Still following along? Because things really get strange from here. Tremble is able to observe La Chiffre in play and realizes he is cheating by using infrared sunglasses, which he steals and uses to beat Le Chiffre in a game of baccarat. Bond hires retired agent Vesper Lynd to recruit baccarat expert Evelyn Tremble to play against SMERSH agent Le Chiffre. To confuse enemy agents, Bond declares that all remaining agents will be called James Bond 007 and creates a training program for agents to resist the charms of women. Promoted to the head of the organization, Bond learns that many agents have been eliminated due to their inability to resist the opposite sex. MI6 calls him back to rejoin Her Majesty’s Secret Service and head up an operation to completely dismantle their long time enemy, the evil organization called SMERSH. In the first Casino Royale, James Bond has retired and left the spy world behind. Two movies, same name, same lead character, very different stories. Interestingly enough, this was the second film featuring James Bond with this title having been released 39 years before.Ĭasino Royale (1967 & 2006) Spoilers below!
