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: The name of the hotel that Bond visits in Hong Kong is The Rubyeon Royale Hotel. "Ruby" for the 40th anniversary of the James Bond series, "Eon" for EON Productions, producers of the series, and "Royale" for Casino Royale, the first Ian Fleming James Bond novel.
Question: In "The World Is Not Enough" Bond, using his intuition, correctly assessed that Elektra King had sided with the villain. So why did he never suspect for a second that Miranda Frost had done the same in this film?

Answer: Bond's suspicions about Elektra King were triggered by his discovery that her head of security, Davidov, was working with Renard. With Miranda Frost, there was nothing that would have led Bond to believe she was a double agent working for Graves/Moon in any capacity other than her undercover MI6 assignment.
