James Bond (Pierce Brosnan) and Dr. Molly Warmflash (Serena Scott Thomas) inspect a virtual image of the skull of Victor Zokas 'Renard' (Robert Carlyle), containing a bullet that will gradually make him feel no pain and eventually kill him in The World Is Not Enough (1999)

So here’s an interesting shot from The World Is Not Enough. Bond and five others are being briefed about the plan to bring Robert King’s killer to justice, and are all given folders (presumably the famous “for your eyes only” folders) for their assignment for the mission. Everyone in the screenshot receives a folder, except Bond of course – as he has not been cleared by medical as a result of his broken collarbone.

So who are the others? 001 through 005? Remember – 006 (Alec Trevelyan) was killed in GoldenEye (1995) four years earlier.

MI6’s Universal Exports

007 is often asked who he works for, and the fictional import/export company he says is his employer is called Universal Exports.

Universal Exports Logo

It is mentioned several times throughout various James Bond movies, which I have listed below:

Dr. No (1962)

James Bond is a Dork

Here are the dorkiest moments of each Bond actor’s career:

Sean Connery tries to pull of the pink tie in Diamonds Are Forever (1971)...and fails.

So is M more concerned about seeking justice for Robert King’s murder or the desktop taxidermy at MI6’s Scotland headquarters? 🙂
