Quantum Of Solace Easter Eggs
MGM/Columbia Pictures

When Roger Moore's James Bond meets with Curd Jürgens's Karl Stromberg in The Spy Who Loved Me (1977), he uses the alias of Robert Sterling (i.e. pound sterling, indicating that he is a British agent).

In Quantum of Solace, Daniel Craig's Bond hands a business card representing himself as Robert Sterling to one of Greene's thugs, who passes it on to Greene's cousin, Elvis in Haiti.

Elvis then calls the number on the card, which connects him to the supposedly closed offices of Universal Exports (MI6's cover name) in London, which allows the agency to put a trace on Elvis's mobile phone. This assists Bond in following Elvis and Greene from the Caribbean to Bregenz in Austria.

Elvis realises that Bond is a potential enemy; Stromberg, however, knows precisely who Double-0 Seven is.

I started writing for WhatCulture in July 2020. I have always enjoyed reading and writing. I have contributed to several short story competitions and I have occasionally been fortunate enough to have my work published. During the COVID-19 lockdown, I also started reviewing films on my Facebook page. Numerous friends and contacts suggested that I should start my own website for reviewing films, but I wanted something a bit more diverse - and so here I am! My interests focus on film and television mainly, but I also occasionally produce articles that venture into other areas as well. In particular, I am a fan of the under appreciated sequel (of which there are many), but I also like the classics and the mainstream too.
