20 Easter Eggs You Somehow Missed In Quantum Of Solace
15. A Long Walk Home
Quantum of Solace is literally littered with references to Roger Moore's 1977 Bond adventure, The Spy Who Loved Me.
One of the most outstanding of these is a sequence in which James Bond and Camille are seen walking through a Bolivian desert after they have discovered a series of subterranean dams that Dominic Greene has constructed in order to restrict the water supply in the country, creating the right conditions for a military coup and for the evil Quantum organisation to demand that Greene Planet be installed as the new government's sole utilities provider at massively increased costs (try explaining that more than once!).
Their plane destroyed, Bond and Camille must then walk back through the desert toward civilisation.
Although both look battered and dusty in their ravaged evening clothes as they start their long walk back to La Paz. This scene mirrors a sequence in Roger Moore's third Bond film in which Double-0 Seven and Barbara Bach's Major Anya Amasova stroll back through the desert to Cairo in Egypt in their impeccable evening clothes following a particularly harrowing brush with Richard Kiel's Jaws.
Like The Spy Who Loved Me, Quantum of Solace made good use of the striking image of Bond and his leading lady wandering through the barren desert in its promotional materials.
