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.

Plot hole: In the pre-title sequence, James Bond travels in a hovercraft along the dirt road, which is full of landmines. Soon after reaching the waterfall at the end, trucks drive up along the road he just drove in on to capture him. As there was only one road into the waterfall complex, the landmines must have all disappeared, as earlier on in that sequence, we are informed that the only way that the North Koreans can avoid the mines along that road is by hovercraft. (00:12:05)
James Bond: You know, you're cleverer than you look.
Q: Still, better than looking cleverer than you are.
Trivia: This is Pierce Brosnan's least favourite Bond movie of the four in which he appeared. Brosnan disliked the over-the-top special effects and gadgets, and suggested to the producers that the follow-up should be dark and gritty. After Brosnan left, the series was indeed given a grittier reboot.
Question: Towards the end of the film when Graves has been revealed to be Korean, why is he still using an English accent?
