Visible crew/equipment: After Patrice jumps onto the train, Bond drives off the bridge and lands on the train and begins to fall over the side, then climbs back on. Eve then says "They're on the train." During this shot, you can see the white platform Bond was standing on to climb back onto the train. (00:06:30)

Casual Person

Visible crew/equipment: When Q meets Bond, when Q turns his head to Bond, he shakes Bond's hand and says "007." A reflector screen is reflected in his glasses when this happens. (00:38:20)

Casual Person

Visible crew/equipment: In the Shanghai hotel, Patrice goes into a lift and Bond jumps onto the side of it. Whilst the lift is rising, Patrice looks outside of the lift. The shot cuts to an exterior shot of the lift. When it cuts to the exterior shot, for just the first few frames a camera can be seen attached to the lift, used to film the shots of Bond. (00:43:20)

Casual Person

Visible crew/equipment: When Bond and another man are pulling into the "new digs", there is a shot of their black SUV turning right. In the reflection of the car, you can see a boom mic.

Question: Is there really any need for Silva to be captured and then escape to kill M? He knows when she's in court, he could just travel to London without going through being captured and escape, and considering it makes him completely unexpected, gives him more of a chance of succeeding.

Answer: Silva's objective was not just to kill M - if it was, he could have blown up her office with her in it when he hacked into MI6 the first time. He wanted to humiliate and terrify her by showing he could get to her again and again, whatever measures were put in place to protect her.
