No Time to Die

Trivia: Cary Joji Fukunaga is the first American to direct an official Bond movie.

Trivia: Daniel Craig is both the only Bond to drive an Aston Martin in all of his Bond films, and the only Bond who never smoked onscreen.

Trivia: The film was delayed for so long due to the coronavirus pandemic that reshoots were needed for some product placements as they had become noticeably outdated.

Trivia: Primo's name is never spoken in the film. It is only mentioned in the end credits.

Trivia: Producer Michael G. Wilson has a cameo as a Military Officer at the party in Cuba when James Bond passes by.

Trivia: At the age of 18, Billie Eilish is the youngest artist to have written and performed a James Bond theme song.

Other mistake: On the prison computer scan of Ernst Stavro Blofeld, Blofeld's date of birth is shown as 4th July 1946, but he is only meant to be a few years older than James Bond, as seen in the photo of them together as teenagers in the film Spectre. That photo is meant to be circa 1985, and the newspaper clipping (also shown in Spectre) about Franz Oberhauser's (aka Blofeld) death in the avalanche happened when he was 16 years old. If he was 16 in 1985, then he should have been born in 1969, not 1946.

More quotes from No Time to Die

Question: How was Bond able to get Madeleine pregnant after the sadistic torture he endured at the hands of Le Chiffre in Casino Royale, where that was supposed to disable his ability to procreate? Also, why did Madeleine insist that her child was not Bond's?

Answer: There's no explanation, but there is much Internet speculation that, without being too graphic, believes Bond's injuries were probably treatable and less extensive than was shown, leaving him fertile. Also, movies often change, minimize, or ignore previous plot points in order to fit the current narrative.
