20 Easter Eggs You Somehow Missed In Quantum Of Solace
1. Weaving Between Two Lorries
The car chase between the Lotus Esprit S1 driven by Roger Moore's James Bond and a motorbike, a Mercedes-Benz filled with Jaws and his goons, and a machine gun-toting helicopter piloted by Caroline Munro's seductive yet murderous Naomi is one of the standout sequences in The Spy Who Loved Me (1977) - even before it heads underwater.
It starts with the Lotus being trailed by the motorbike, which is equipped with a sidecar that transforms into a missile. When this is fired at the Lotus, Bond performs a daring vehicular manoeuvre, overtaking a large, slow-moving lorry filled with mattresses and ducking in front of it, narrowly missing another oncoming lorry.
Daniel Craig's Double-0 Seven does almost exactly the same in Quantum of Solace. Having lost the driver's side door of his grey Aston Martin DBS, Bond emerges from a tunnel which runs parallel to Italy's Lake Garda, swerving in front of a lorry ahead of him, whilst narrowly missing one that is coming right at him on the other side of the road.
The only real difference this time around is that an Alfa Romeo 159 filled with gun-toting thugs that has been pursuing Bond attempts to do the same, only to crash headlong into the oncoming lorry.
