Trivia: When James Bond is handling a metal case over the counter, we can see a man reading a newspaper whilst sitting in a green armchair. This man is the producer Michael G. Wilson.

Trivia: When Bond meets Agent Fields at the airport in Bolivia, he says "But of course you are" after she introduces herself to him. This line has been said in two other Bond films, by Sean Connery in "Diamonds are Forever" and by Roger Moore in "A View to a Kill".

Trivia: Throughout the whole film, the phrase "Quantum of Solace" is never spoken once, nor even seen as written text.

Factual error: During the boat chase scene, Bond throws a grappling hook/anchor from the old boat he is driving onto the deck of the rubber boat "riding" his. The rubber boat is then violently yanked off of Bond's boat and crashes. This makes no sense. For the rubber boat to be yanked off that way, the other end of the anchor line would have to be tied to something stationary. However, the other end of the line is just lying in Bond's boat. There's even a shot of it sitting there.

More quotes from Quantum of Solace

Question: What was the purpose of visiting Vesper's boyfriend at the end of the movie? Was he involved? Because I don't remember anyone saying anything about that in the movie.

Answer: He's an operative of the Quantum organisation that Bond is up against who specialises in seducing women who can then be manipulated into helping their cause - in Vesper's case by pretending to be kidnapped to force her to cooperate. When Bond catches up with him, he's in the process of seducing another woman, no doubt to involve her in some scheme or other. Bond tells her the truth and she leaves, leaving Bond to deal with the Quantum agent.
