As someone who lived in London for ten years and is a bit of a tube geek, then this was a tough watch due to all the glaring mismatched tube rolling stock 😂
You missed on location Bond coming out of the metal door after coming down a tunnel section. Also filmed at Charing Cross in the Jubilee Line construction tunnel although in the film the exit to the door seem a wide area the actual exit is a narrow passageway to the Bakerloo platforms. Finally anyone can see the actual filming locations on a tour run be the London Transport Museum under Hidden London
They wanted to fuse two London icons; the deep level tube trains and Wimbledon (famous for the tennis and a 2012 Olympics tie in). Focus groups also indicated that the green District line map was more recognisable to US audiences. District Line trains are of course the big sub surface trains and not the squat iconic tube trains so you end up with this tube nerd sacrilege.
@@MindTheMap they jump around a lot, both within the station schottenring and then to a completely different station entirely. there are also some weird creative decisions with the tripple escalators in schottenring. i don't know if i should link it here directly but there is a clip of that scene on youtube where i left a more detailed comment
6:20 bravo for a Bond movie to do a fully London-based action scene. It was probably overdue and hasn’t been done enough - 1999 with Millennium Dome & Thames boat chase is possibly the only other time? Sixty years is too long for just those.
3:36 heading west? That’s the rear of the train. Plus it’s a tube train not a District Line train, so … there is no correct answer, but Piccadilly Line is kind-of-sort-of implied … they go in parallel for a short section, and if you really had to do a special operation, you could potentially send a Piccadilly train to & from Wimbledon.
3:50 aaaand we’re back on District, but boy, those strip diagrams sure do look like they’ve been peeled off and stuck back on … exactly like they would have had to do for the filming.
The Picadilly Line does not go up to the surface until Barron's Court. The line past Hammersmith is where the Picadilly Line took over two branches of the District Line. One to Upminster and the other to Hounslow (which is now extended to Heathrow). You could not divert a Picadilly Line train to Wimbledon as the Wimbledon Branch diverts off of the District Line mainline before the Picadilly Line comes to the surface and takes over District Line track. The Piccadilly Line also does not fit the plot of the movie, where the bad guy needs to take a train to Westminster. What totally would have worked (however) would have been using the disused Jubilee Line as the new Jubilee Line. That line actually goes to Westminster
7:38 “later added in post production”, which is CG, which continues to get a lack of credit when it’s used - exactly because it’s invisible. Also note some good old fashioned editing with good timing, making the second carriage look like a third or fourth when the camera angle changes. It’s not explicit to the cinema audience, on purpose.

I guess you think all movies shouldn't have any mistake and be 100% accurate?
That's really cool! Awesome video!
Thank you!
Are you sure you aren't a Bond Villain with an accent like that?
I am doing my best Blofeld impression.
"No Mr Bond, I expect you to Like and Subscribe!"
Love the accent. "I could shoot you from Stuttgart and still make it look like an accident"!! Dr Kaufman!

that's more accurate than the mission impossible scene in vienna
What did they get wrong in Vienna?

If you link the video I will try to find your comment :)
Ah yes, I remember it from Morbius, yes.
Why is there a train driver sitting in the rear cab of the train?

They did a great job with that scene!
