Since Le Chiffre has used Obanna’s money, he’s desperate to get it back by buying into a Texas Hold ‘Em poker game at the Casino Royale hotel and Casino-and MI6 figures if that he loses, he’ll have nowhere to hide and therefore can be captured by MI6 and they can learn valuable intelligence from him. Plus, there’s planes taking off and landing, police cars all around…it’s not quite as innovative as the parkour chase which opens the film, but it’s still pretty good entertainment (although with a bit more obvious CG work).Īfter tricking the man into blowing himself up-and further frustrating Le Chiffre’s plans-M goes down and briefs Bond on Le Chiffre near the club (Where we learn Solange has been killed off). Soon there’s a chaotic chase on the runway, as Bond scrambles in and out of vehicles to stop Dimitrios’s man.

Of course, he didn’t depend on Bond also knowing the code. We also discover what Ellipsis is-it’s the code for the restricted area of the airport, so the guy can slip in, get a uniform, and destroy the prototype. There’s a bit of a cat and mouse thing going on here, and we get another fun cameo, with real-life billionaire Richard Branson going through the terminal.

He takes out Dimitrios quietly at the controversial “Body worlds” exhibit that was a travelling thing a while back, and then spots his cellphone contact-heading towards Miami airport, to destroy a prototype “Skyfleet” plane so Le Chiffre can capitalize on the stock going down.

Bond woos Dimitrios’s wife, but has to leave her when he learns Dimitrios is on his way to Miami.
