Looking at the stacks of plaques and chips that James Bond ends up walking away with, it doesn’t feel like half a million dollars is all that much in the grand scheme of things. Admittedly, it’s a Casino Royale moment that passes quickly, as the audience is still processing the fact that 007 has broken Le Chiffre, bankrupting his terrorist activities on behalf of the Quantum/SPECTRE organization. How difficult can it be to make a good poker scene in a movie According to James Bond director Martin Campbell the ‘Casino Royale’ remake poker showdown was as elaborate as any stunt 007 was involved in The 2006 movie grossed a monster 606million at the box office, with Daniel Craig ’s ‘Bond’ and Mads Mikkelsen ’s. So, after an entire poker game where Daniel Craig’s rookie 00 agent rides a roller coaster of wins and losses against Mads Mikkelsen’s financial terrorist sees Bond come out on top, he casually flips the dealer $500,000 in the blink of an eye. It was just amusing to me - it’s not Bond’s money. I always laugh at the end when Bond just flips him half a million. Which lead to Campbell showing his hand about just why Casino Royale’s big tipper moment is so funny: Everything from a proposed time lapse sequence that was eventually cut to the casting of actual casino inspector Andreas Daniel was divulged in this recent sit down. Speaking with Polygon, Martin Campbell revealed a lot about what went into his second time directing a James Bond refresh, and a good portion of those details came from the poker game between Bond and his adversary, Le Chiffre.
