I knew I would be cringing at the slide whistle from TMWTGG before I even clicked the link.

No, I'm pretty sure they're all in the movies. I can only verify the one from my post.

I remember watching TMWTGG on TV for the first time when I was 13 or 14 and even then I just remember thinking, "What the gently caress?" when they played a drat slide whistle and basically ruined this really great car stunt.

The quips and one-liners largely destroyed their ability.

I don't know, the one from QoS was pretty good if only because M heard it over a phone and realized that Bond had killed someone again.

The problem is, it's sort of a nudge and wink to the audience as a reminder that previous Bonds had some sort of rejoinder or quip for every situation. The setup and delivery in QoS were both great, but you couldn't really pull that off a second time (or more) and expect the tonal shift that we've had with the Craig Bond movies to really stick.

Some days you just can't get rid of a Bond.
