Gustav Graves is really the North Korean colonel who supposedly died at the beginning and he has developed Icarus to destroy the demilitarized zone so that North Korea can take over South Korea. Bond learns that Miranda Frost is a double agent working with Graves. Bond never revealed any information during that heavy duty torture we see at the beginning of the movie. Bond kills Graves, while Jinx (Halle Berry) kills Frost. Of course, Bond and Jinx end up together.

Continuity mistake: In the final fight scene on the plane between Jinx and Agent Frost, Jinx is slashed across her stomach, drawing blood. In a later scene, when Jinx and 007 are pouring diamonds over one another in the hut on the cliff, her stomach is unblemished. (02:02:25)
James Bond: Vodka martini, plenty of ice... If you can spare it.
Trivia: In the training sim, Bond refers to the virtual M's seemingly fatal wounding as "just a flesh wound." He makes this remark to John Cleese, who said the same thing in "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" after having all his limbs removed by King Arthur.
Question: Is it possible to stop your heart as it seems that James Bond did in this film when he is in hospital, or not? My partner believes that it's not possible.
Answer: Consciously slowing one's own heart rate to barely beating (usually performed by a mystical guru-type character in film or literature) is a myth. It is possible to slightly slow the heartbeat with meditation and relaxation, but completely stopping and restarting it is impossible.
