Following the successfulness of "Casino Royale" a decision was made the follow up, "Quantum of Solace", was to be the first true sequel in the history of the James Bond films. The end of Daniel Craig's first film as 007 finished with him wearing a Brioni three-piece suit after shooting Mr White in the leg and uttering those unforgettable words - "Bond, James Bond".



Nevertheless "Quantum of Solace", released 2 years on, gets things mixed up from the beginning. The follow up finishes shortly after Mr White has been shot, though we don't learn what occurred between the last scene in "Casino Royale" and the start of "Quantum of Solace" that precipitates a high-speed automobile chase between Bond's Aston Martin DBS and a number of black Alfa Romeos.



What's noticeable is that although the suite worn at the start of "Quantum of Solace" is very similar to that worn in "Casino Royale" - with a change of costume designer came a change of suit maker and Tom Ford came in to replace Brioni - it's currently a two-piece suit. Not just that, but the stripes are differently spaced and of a different colour too! Many Bond fans who spotted that little details were rather annoyed.



Another creeping mistake is that in "Casino Royale", Bond checks some CCTV photos that obviously indicates the year is 2006, the year the film was shot and released. However , "Quantum of Solace" is set in 2008.

While small slips like this are barely conspicuous and actually not upon first viewing, it's correct that some Bond fans who spotted these continuity slips were disenchanted. However , it's right that many films have small continuity issues but it is only the age of DVD and BluRay that has made it eminently possible for such little things to be studied.
