Bond film titles mentioned in the film

I've noticed it's common in James Bond films that the film title will appear in the film itself, for example, Elektra King says "The world is not enough", a villain says "so you live to die another day" in 'Die Another Day', and the word "Goldeneye" appears plenty of times in the film of the same name.


The question here is, do any of the characters in 'Tomorrow never dies' reference the film title? I read that the film was originally titled 'Tomorrow never lies', and was only changed due to a printing mistake and I don't recall any of the characters saying "tomorrow never dies" in the film.


Just something I've been thinking about. Thanks for replies! :o)

No, sorry.

I love this film, but it doesn't have that in it.  Just that you get the feeling that Elliot Carver feels that way about his newspaper "Tomorrow".

Ah, thank you for the reply. :o) I'd been wondering about it for a while now. I suppose it might be due to the change in title and there may be a deleted scene where Carver says "Tomorrow never lies".

Is this the only Bond film that doesn't reference the title?

Most of them are referenced somewhere, certainly the early one's anyway. I'm not sure about On Her Majesties Secret Service, Diamonds Are Forever, The Spy Who Loved Me, A View To A Kill and the first Timothy Dalton one whose name I can't remember!
Just remembered, it's The Living Daylights.
Never say never again was a reference to S.C saying he would never play bond again, but then did for this one.

In the Living Daylights, Timothy Dalton does say, " It must have scared the living daylights out of her".

Zorin Says "what a magnificent View, to a Kill" In VTAK. Don't think OHMSS gets mentioned, neither does Diamonds are forever. The spy who loved me is inferred but never spoken. From Russia with love is never spoken but written on a photo.

It's good fun watching Die Another Day to find all the references to the previous films - it was the 20th Bond film, so they included a hat-tip to every film... some are more obvious than others.

Whether or not it's quoted in the film "The World is not enough" is actually a reference to the motto of the Bond family who founded Bond Street in the West End of London.  This fact is mentioned in the novel On Her Majesty's Secret Service when Bond visits the College of Heralds in preparation for his role as Sir Hilary Bray. 

it the title mentioned in "live and let die"? i can't recall it being mentioned.
