“Does it look like we need the money?” I like that Felix Leiter got one of the best lines in the film. He usually just stands along the sidelines and gets forgotten.
In Quantum of Solace he got to say "I'll take that as a compliment, coming from a Brit" when Bond remarked on the Americans' skill at imperialist appropriation. It was funny
@mindsync It means that the CIA has too much money to give a damn about a few hundred million dollars. Considering the annual budget they have, they'd prefer plaudits over the winning money.
Actually, David Hedison played Felix Leiter in both 1973's "Live & Let Die" and in 1989's "License to Kill" before Jeffrey Wright's turn. Hedison had also played Captain Crane in the 1960s series "Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea" and was originally offered the role of Mike Brady in "The Brady Bunch", before Robert Reed was cast. Hedison recently passed away in June of 2019.
It’s funny how Felix gives bond his chips to keep him going, and in “No time to die”, Felix takes the bullet to keep bond going. Felix is one hell of a friend.
You have to remember this is a little time after bond got his 00 license, literally a rookie in his first, major, important mission. His success or failure would greatly define his career in the eyes of MI6. He was unexperienced, brash, impulsive, egotistical (more than usual) and arrogant, to the point of not giving a damn about the repercussions and wanting to shiv le chiffre out of anger. He commited some rookie mistakes: drank the poisoned martini, lost the bet, got caught and was at the mercy of le chiffre, and so on, somebody always came and bailed him out of his mistakes. He learned his trade on a trial by fire, and got lucky.
Yeah. From the opening scenes of him chasing the bomb maker, it's clear to see that this version of James isn't exactly the suave, has it all figured out, version that we've seen in other films.
This is why Casino Royale is the best Bond film. Virtually nothing goes right for him for the whole film, and he gets thrown through the ringer. By the end he becomes the classic JB of old.
I love how when his life is threatened, or his love interest’s life is threatened, and Bond seemingly finds himself on the loosing end of a fight, he remains calm, collected and ready to turn the tables. But when he looses in gambling, his face just drops and he panics lol 😂
im pretty sure he was just acting in that moment so he could draw more money out of Le Chiffre. He knew he wanted Le Chiffre to get cocky and continue betting more so he could win in the big blind
@@JohnDoe-yq9rt Cry me a river and let me play you the world's smallest violin. Grow up and stop complaining about "wokeness" in of itself. Are you really that insecure in who and what you are, that you can't stand other groups of people being shown in a positive and empowering light in entertainment?
The connection these two actors create between Bond and Leiter is pure magic. The spy meets spy with a mutual interest and respect moment is intense and immersive.
Ahem, 007 was carrying a concealed weapon. 'Brandishing' would be waving it around like a fourth rate ninja or a sabre waving pirate in a B rated pirate film.
Yeah, this movie is... one of my favorite flicks about the life of 007. Daniel Craig really hit the ground running as an actor with this first portrait of this agent. I felt his voice, mannerisms, and charisma on the silver screen were perfect. Wow, this movie really came out back in 2006? The last 15 years have flown by and I am really looking forward to seeing how everything wraps up in the next film, "No Time to Die" - I think it is going to be an epic cinematic adventure!
What's funny is that when Craig was originally announced, people were up in arms. They didn't see him as the traditional Bond. Then when the beach scenes came out, people were like "Well, he looks fit." Then the movie came out, and everyone was like "Oh, shit."
It is probably the best Bond movie ever, they put alot of effort into the script. But I think it's a shame about spectre. They really messed that one up and I think skyfall is overrated. This one and quantum of solace are my favourite Craig era films. QOS as a part two to casino royale is better than what people think, its just a shame about the editing in that movie.
@@fascinatinglist9654 people said similiar things when Sean Connery and Roger Moore retired the roles, but there will be new talent and there will be fantastic bond movies to come, the only question is how long that's going to take
After going through every Bond film I can’t tell you how refreshing it is to see Bond grab a knife and be fully prepared to break cover and just kill the target.
@@Sabersquirl That’s really not how this played out. It was a risk for 10 million - that didn’t pay off. The further 5 million is what won the game, and that was not paid by the British. So M and Lynd were potentially not entitled to anything. At most, they could have asked for the initial 10M back. But again, this is after they’d already won. So the risk of the venture was taken by Felix and the CIA. TLDR: M and Lynd could have asked for the 10M back instead of writing it off, but no more. They got lucky that the Americans didn’t care.
@@sahirkhan846 It wasn't Bonds money anymore than Lynd's who is a treasury officer. It wasn't loaned to Bond he's an employee working on behalf of HM Government. It was the Crown's money and still is the Crown's money.

That’s how gambling works. Bond later wins because someone else took a chance on him. It’s the CIA’s money. But Leiter allows Bond to do what he likes with it.
According to a Danish friend of mine the way Le Chiffre says "Oops" is actually the Danish pronunciation of the word and Danish audiences fucking loved it xD Mads Mikkelsen just a top man.
Exactly, that’s the only thing I would change in this movie... it wasn’t a matter of thinking Le Chiffre was bluffing or not, he has fucking Full House with Aces and K, he would never fold in that situation
I hope he has a bigger part. In casino royale, he got a nice size part. In quantem of solace, his part was significantly reduced. And for skyfall and spectre, his name was only mentioned.
I'm a heterosexual male but you can't deny the smoothness, the sexiness of this scene how elegance and charm radiate from not just Daniel Craig but the whole cast. IMO this is the best James Bond movie of modern times.
Why do men have to state they're heterosexual before they make any comment about another man, as if every male is so insecure and fragile about their masculinity being perceived lesser? This is why male suicide is much higher because men aren't able to express to each other about things because we might seem too emotional or perceived less 'manly'. It takes courage to just be you. Just say what you were going to say without adding the 'Im a straight male but...' Ffs lol.
My high school US history teacher went to grade school with Jeffrey Wright. I used to think that was so cool because I thought Felix's occasional appearances in Craig's films were so badass.
I just like how James orders a Vodka martini, the bartender asks "Do you want that shaken or stirred?" Bond says: "Do I look like I give a damn?" Which upends the entire "shaken not stirred" James Bond legendary martini legacy. I think that's another reason Daniel Craig is so perfect as Bond. He just doesn't give a shit. Vodka martini. However the bartender wants to do it. Favorite Bond ever. Even surpasses Sean Connery for me. Daniel Craig's Bond is yet another legend who has the art of cool nailed to the floor.
Next to Jack Lord (RIP), Jeffrey Wright was to me THE best Felix Leiter in the entire Bond franchise. Him and Craig's Bond hit it off so naturally that first time they met, it was amazing! Glad he ended up having the longest tenure with that character. 😊
I remember the audience reacted to all the poker scenes in the cinema. The whole movie got the crowd going, particularly the title sequence! RIP Chris Cornell
@@Matt90Nine While I understand and appreciate your point, I still think it's ironic. Because you would expect the hero to be morally different from the villain, yet he does the same exact thing as Chiffre does when he loses everything. So the irony is that when the chips are down, our beloved hero is as bad as the villain. "Nobody is sat around talking about the irony of Iron Man murdering terrorists, because it isn't ironic", I agree, but if Iron Man threatened and attempted to kill the terrorsists' families, it would be ironic because he's acting like a terrorist himself. That's what Bond's doing; he is resorting to violence, attacking Chiffre and possibly his girlfriend for extra pressure, which was the same exact thing Chiffre does in the end. And Bond's demeanour during the scene clearly exhibits this act was out of pure rage and helplessness rather than a thought out plan. In that moment, he has become the villain and I deem that ironic.
@@Matt90Nine I have to disagree. I don't believe that scene in particular is within Bond's character at all. You can tell by the way he talks to the bartender as well. He's clearly on tilt from losing all his chips to a bad beat and being outplayed, he can't buy-in again, and he's going after a well-protected "bad guy" with only a kitchen knife and 0 backup plans. He's clearly rushing it, and would've been most definitely dead if Felix hadn't stopped him. You say nothing is surprising to the audience in that scene, but I think it is. He is out of line.
On first seeing this in cinema I hadn't read the book at the time, but seen all the other movies, so having Felix show up here was such a welcome surprise! Yes he was in the novel so more or less had to appear; but in the moment of the movie then, it felt like very, very tasteful fan service that served the story.
Don’t forget Vesper, Mathis, M, and most importantly his Aston Martin that he won from Le Chiffre’s bomb makers which eventually got destroyed in Skyfall
If Robert Pattinson gets cast as the new Bond (he has the support of Daniel Craig and Danny Boyle), John David Washington absolutely has to get cast as Felix Leiter.
I loved how they set up their working relationship: Bond thwarts a terrorist attack in Miami, and a grateful CIA sends Felix who is more than happy to help Bond if the need arises.
this is one of my favorite scenes in all of the bond movies, i feel like it showed him in his truest form, behind all the charm, beautiful women, sports cars, nice suits and fancy hotels at his core he truly is a trained, merciless killer who will stop at nothing to finish the job. Had Felix not intervened he was perfectly fine with stabbing that man with a steak knife in the middle of a packed casino, in front of everyone. He wasn't considering anything or anyone else besides completing the mission...... this movie is a masterpiece.
@@david.l8698 mo the hands they all have. In this one hes got aces full vs quad jacks and later theres a top end straight vs ace high flush vs aces full again vs the straight knot flush :D These hands are sooooo insane but still a great film
That’s my one critique of an otherwise perfect film. I would’ve preferred if Bond had a two pair and then Le Chiffe managed a three of a kind. It would’ve felt more realistic.
Now when I see this scene, I see "Vesper's" reaction in a different light. She wouldn't be that angry and Upset on Bond losing, as she was working for "Quantum". At this point in time in the movie, her actual job is very clear cut. Everything is ok if Bond loses....and in case he wins, gain his trust, and get the money back to "Quantum" which ultimately is sub group under "SPECTRE".
The first Bond film of Daniel Craig which I fell in love with a thousand times, I've watched it for the. 50 th times and never get tired of it, its a true classic O07 and he looks so fresh young and it was always so exciting watching him over and over again .....💖💕🌹👏👏👏
I saw this movie when I was 13 with a friend. I remember he didn't really like the movie because there was ''too much talking'' ...I loved all that dialogue, and it made me realise that action and explosions weren't necessarily the best thing in movies. All that dialogue, that banter... I loved it!
3:32 I first saw this movie in theaters with my parents. My dad who loved the James Bond films, he was a Sean Connery fan freaked out Felix Leiter introduced himself to Bond
Always wished Jeffrey Wright had a bigger part in this film,,, just a bit bigger,,, because I think it's the definitive Felix Leiter performance,,, in any bond film. And as others have said : "Does it look like we need the money?" might the the coolest line in the whole film.
Just to be clear Bond was ahead with Kings full on the Turn card. Le Chiffre rivers Quads. Tbh he was chasing the entire time. The only thing Bond could’ve done different is shove on the flop. He would’ve gotten called anyways
Guys I have a question:- After Bond defeated Le Chiffre and said "he's all yours, much appreciated brother" why did Felix just disappear?? Wasn't he supposed to take him in to custody? He didn't even come to rescue Bond, it was Mr White who came to the rescue instead
I don’t think he was aware of bond’s location when he got kidnapped. Also it’s possible he was looking for le chifre at the time but escaped and that’s when Vesper was kidnapped. There was no one to take in at the end since le chifre was killed.
Fun fact: After his successful stint as a CIA operative, Felix Leiter retired from the department and joined the Gotham Police force under his real name James W. Gordon. He climbed through the ranks and became the city’s commissioner after 10 years of service.
I liked the interactions between Felix and Bond in the old films, but while I don't like the Daniel Craig films, on thing of a few they got way right was how awesome they made Leiter in this version. I just love their interaction here, and I'm sad we didn't get to see more of him. Honestly, I'd love to see a spinoff series with Leiter.
He's about to be Commissioner Gordon in the next Batman movie. Something about going from Felix Leiter in the Bond franchise to Commissioner Gordon in the Batman franchise respectively is just beautiful.
At 3:05 when Bond sees Le Chiffre & Co., I'm confused, does he see something particularly alarming there or does he just want to dispose of Le Chiffre right then and there out of anger so he takes the table knife to try and kill him with it.
He's angry he he just lost that round and I get the idea he doesn't see the point in the whole poker game when M assigns him to and vesper didnt give him anymore money so he goes in to dispose of Him.
He knows that Le Chiffre will win the game and get the money, and use it to fund terrorism. That will not happen if he is dead. Bond has lost the game, but his mission is to stop Le Chiffre. He's failed option A, time for option B.

“Does it look like we need the money?”
I like that Felix Leiter got one of the best lines in the film. He usually just stands along the sidelines and gets forgotten.
I heard that in the Russian translation, instead of that line he says, "We are neither greedy nor poor". Both lines are great IMO

And Bond's demeanour during the scene clearly exhibits this act was out of pure rage and helplessness rather than a thought out plan. In that moment, he has become the villain and I deem that ironic.
@@Matt90Nine I have to disagree. I don't believe that scene in particular is within Bond's character at all. You can tell by the way he talks to the bartender as well. He's clearly on tilt from losing all his chips to a bad beat and being outplayed, he can't buy-in again, and he's going after a well-protected "bad guy" with only a kitchen knife and 0 backup plans. He's clearly rushing it, and would've been most definitely dead if Felix hadn't stopped him. You say nothing is surprising to the audience in that scene, but I think it is. He is out of line.
amazing. the best bond film ever
On first seeing this in cinema I hadn't read the book at the time, but seen all the other movies, so having Felix show up here was such a welcome surprise! Yes he was in the novel so more or less had to appear; but in the moment of the movie then, it felt like very, very tasteful fan service that served the story.
"You lost because of your ego".. no you told Le Chiffre that Bond knew his tell.
I think it was that old guy (I guess named Mathis) who told it
@@anonfromearthNo, it was her. That's why she betrayed him in the end.
@@anonfromearth It was vesper who told le chiffre about Bond's tell. Mathis was loyal and got blame shifted
Greatest bond film ever made. The Connery films come close but this is just sublime.
I think people underestimate how dangerous Bond can be when he's angry.
“Does it look like we need the money”. Legend.
One of the best bond films ever, one of the best bond songs ever and one of the best bonds ever
Bond: And what about the winnings?
Leiter: Does it look like we need the money?
(MIC Drop Moment)
RIP Felix
RIP Bond
And ... RIP good cinema as a whole
Don’t forget Vesper, Mathis, M, and most importantly his Aston Martin that he won from Le Chiffre’s bomb makers which eventually got destroyed in Skyfall
😤
And RIP spoilers
@@Thomas-kp8mo More like RIP to the people who were planning to watch No Time To Die before foolishly looking at Bond related comments.
@@melvincuaresma-SWhis name was Alex dimitrios
I mean whether or not he was bluffing there’s no way anyone would fold a King Ace full house
Haha great point, i would just put it down to bad luck not ego
Imagine if this happened to Phil Hellmuth 😂
@@melvincuaresma-SW would start walking around the table fuming
Thanks for adding this scene! The other version on YT are crap quality, and never include the poker scene beforehand.
If Robert Pattinson gets cast as the new Bond (he has the support of Daniel Craig and Danny Boyle), John David Washington absolutely has to get cast as Felix Leiter.
Who’s the protagonist?
@@whadup5658 Omni Man
stop watching Joe Rogan podcasts. 🐑
Felix was a wonderful addition to the story. An agent from elsewhere also fighting the good fight
I loved how they set up their working relationship: Bond thwarts a terrorist attack in Miami, and a grateful CIA sends Felix who is more than happy to help Bond if the need arises.
I can't believe I didn't realize it was Miami, thought it was cuba or something.
this is one of my favorite scenes in all of the bond movies, i feel like it showed him in his truest form, behind all the charm, beautiful women, sports cars, nice suits and fancy hotels at his core he truly is a trained, merciless killer who will stop at nothing to finish the job. Had Felix not intervened he was perfectly fine with stabbing that man with a steak knife in the middle of a packed casino, in front of everyone. He wasn't considering anything or anyone else besides completing the mission...... this movie is a masterpiece.
This scene is so heartbreaking after watching No Time To Die 😭
not enough emojis
Do this for maximum dramatical effect
😭😭😭😭😭😭😱😱😱😱🤧🤧🤧😿😿😿👼🏾😰😰😰😰
Edit: 🅱️
There's no action, no violence, no sex... But the scene of Felix and 007 on the stairs might be my favourite scene in a Bond film.
the sex would be a little awkward in this scene
Looking back, the hands they all have through this whole film are a bit of a joke. Still my favourite Bond film
Are you on about how much money they have?
@@david.l8698 mo the hands they all have. In this one hes got aces full vs quad jacks and later theres a top end straight vs ace high flush vs aces full again vs the straight knot flush :D
These hands are sooooo insane but still a great film
@@matt5743 you have to think about it as highlights, from hours upon hours of hands, but its still true haha
That’s my one critique of an otherwise perfect film. I would’ve preferred if Bond had a two pair and then Le Chiffe managed a three of a kind. It would’ve felt more realistic.
@@zacktobin8026 I would have preferred Bond to be smooth charismatic and sophisticated like Brosnan but we can't have everything
The rest of his best friend. He asked 007 for help at the first and finally part. What a strong relationship 👏🏼👏🏼
Hits different after No Time To Die
When Felix went down and James watched him go down in water, it was like he re-lived the same moment all over again when Vesper drowned to her death
Now when I see this scene, I see "Vesper's" reaction in a different light. She wouldn't be that angry and
Upset on Bond losing, as she was working for "Quantum". At this point in time in the movie, her actual job is very clear cut. Everything is ok if Bond loses....and in case he wins, gain his trust, and get the money back to "Quantum" which ultimately is sub group under "SPECTRE".
The first Bond film of Daniel Craig which I fell in love with a thousand times, I've watched it for the. 50 th times and never get tired of it, its a true classic O07 and he looks so fresh young and it was always so
exciting watching him over and over again .....💖💕🌹👏👏👏
Le Chiffre: You must have thought I was bluffing Mr Bond.
Bond: Bro, I had an AK full-house!
ruclips.net/video/m06RAM8Qcx05/видео.html
Yeah, vesper saying that bond lost because of his ego, aces full of kings is an easy shove
“Does it look like we need the winnings?”
Nah, that’s cos you’re working to retrieve the stolen engraving plates with an A-Team!
I saw this movie when I was 13 with a friend. I remember he didn't really like the movie because there was ''too much talking''
...I loved all that dialogue, and it made me realise that action and explosions weren't necessarily the best thing in movies. All that dialogue, that banter... I loved it!
The older one gets the more they come to the realisation that action scenes and gratuitous violence is the most inane part of films.
0:43 Gotta love Le Chiffre slow rolling there.
i like Daniel Craig the most, best bond, whole new level of Bond
Mr Coach, not even close to the best
he still among one of greatest Villains
it's ws sad after all Bond did to save him an lady friend he still tried to kill Bond
2006 America: does it look
Like we need the $?
2009 America: so about that money we invested with you a few years back?
*remembers the 26 trillion dollars of debt our country is in*
Underrated comment.
3:32
I first saw this movie in theaters with my parents. My dad who loved the James Bond films, he was a Sean Connery fan freaked out Felix Leiter introduced himself to Bond
Always wished Jeffrey Wright had a bigger part in this film,,, just a bit bigger,,, because I think it's the definitive Felix Leiter performance,,, in any bond film. And as others have said : "Does it look like we need the money?" might the the coolest line in the whole film.
Shaken or stirred?
Do I look like I give a damn?!
I like this raw less fancy version of bond
It was that moment he spoke that line that I knew he was Bond, James Bond.
He actually said on a recent interview on Kimmel that line is the reason he wanted to be James Bond
RIP Felix and Bond! 🙏
this films is nearly 20 years old, CR was such a modern day classic and a really good reboot of the franchise, still a very underrated
Just to be clear Bond was ahead with Kings full on the Turn card. Le Chiffre rivers Quads. Tbh he was chasing the entire time. The only thing Bond could’ve done different is shove on the flop. He would’ve gotten called anyways
Amazing scene !
I had a brother. His name was Felix Leiter. Those who know, know.
2:01 Foreshadows the look he gives Swann in the NTTD US trailer
Spoiler Alert: Well,Everyone present in that shot is dead. Bond,Vesper,Felix,Le Chiffre,Mathis
Absolute dick move not to spoiler tag this. I’ve seen the movie but come on mate, edit this comment for the sake of everyone else.
Yeah, spoiler tag the fucking comment.
Best Bond movie
“Does it look like we need the money?”
OH SHIT! LEITER IS A BALLER!
I love the little "oups" with Mads' voice. His unnatural english voice thanks to danish origins is such ASMR to me.
3:02 The Bodyguard actually look straight at Bond a few times as he staring at his boss, Impressive Detail
Very well noticed Asian brother.
@@Hawthorne-Studioshe didn't see james
Nice to see Hannibal and Inspector Pazzi in a Bond movie.
Best line: Do i look Iike i give a damn
His desperation is at another level. Loved him throughout ❤️
Guys I have a question:-
After Bond defeated Le Chiffre and said "he's all yours, much appreciated brother" why did Felix just disappear?? Wasn't he supposed to take him in to custody? He didn't even come to rescue Bond, it was Mr White who came to the rescue instead
I don’t think he was aware of bond’s location when he got kidnapped. Also it’s possible he was looking for le chifre at the time but escaped and that’s when Vesper was kidnapped. There was no one to take in at the end since le chifre was killed.
This could be explained in No time to die. I think Felix could be the real boss🤣
CIA probably had black vans to scoop him up
If I'm not mistaken Le Chiffre removed Bond's tracking GPS
@@osbaldocruz4735 Yes, Le Chiffre had his henchmen remove Bond's tracking GPS.
""Does it look like we need the money?"""
That's as American as it can get.
Fun fact: After his successful stint as a CIA operative, Felix Leiter retired from the department and joined the Gotham Police force under his real name James W. Gordon. He climbed through the ranks and became the city’s commissioner after 10 years of service.

XD
CIA guy like: “we’re America, money is not a problem “ 🤣🤣🤣🤣🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Excellent scene in james bond movie
I liked the interactions between Felix and Bond in the old films, but while I don't like the Daniel Craig films, on thing of a few they got way right was how awesome they made Leiter in this version. I just love their interaction here, and I'm sad we didn't get to see more of him. Honestly, I'd love to see a spinoff series with Leiter.
”Should I recruit him as A Guardian of the Multiverse?” Nah.
I understood that reference.
Classic!!!! Bond looking vulnerable here!!!
This bond is different. The sigma man!!!!
I'd love to see the actor of Felix in more things
He's very good in Westworld. Season one is excellent and more or less forms a complete story. It rapidly goes downhill after that. 😆
@@criticalbil1 very very rapidly
@@ashsmart6895 yes 😞
He's about to be Commissioner Gordon in the next Batman movie. Something about going from Felix Leiter in the Bond franchise to Commissioner Gordon in the Batman franchise respectively is just beautiful.
Jeffery Wright?
“Get the girl out!”
Jeffery Wright and Jack Lord are my two favourite Felix's.
Eva Green is so pretty. I loved her in Kingdom of Heaven and 300! Played a crazy lady in Sin City
At 3:05 when Bond sees Le Chiffre & Co., I'm confused, does he see something particularly alarming there or does he just want to dispose of Le Chiffre right then and there out of anger so he takes the table knife to try and kill him with it.
The latter is correct
He's angry he he just lost that round and I get the idea he doesn't see the point in the whole poker game when M assigns him to and vesper didnt give him anymore money so he goes in to dispose of Him.
He knows that Le Chiffre will win the game and get the money, and use it to fund terrorism. That will not happen if he is dead.
Bond has lost the game, but his mission is to stop Le Chiffre. He's failed option A, time for option B.
Lost at the game, & wanted revenge for Le Chiffre poising him prior to loosing the poker game.
@@iTzFabi23 No, Le Chiffre poisons him later in the film.
This is the best bond movie. The acting and script writing alone
In Daniel's era of 007, I'd say Felix and Mathis were Bond's only true friends.
“James Bond and the Watcher of the Multiverse”…!!
