A small James Bond question that has been bugging me for ages

[Saint_Sparky]

Hi.

Somebody once told me that there is a small blink-and-you-miss-it reference to Tracy in one of the Brosnan series films.

I know the title “The World is not Enough” was Bond family motto that was mentioned in “On Her Majesties Secret Service”, but I am sure this is not the actual Tracy reference.

Does anybody know of this Tracy reference?

I found this on a website:

As noted previously, Bond’s family motto was revealed in On Her Majesty’s Secret Service. It has also been suggested that Elektra is intended to remind Bond of his wife Tracy from that film. Indeed, Elektra’s ski-ing outfit is very similar to that worn by Tracey. There is even an implied reference to Tracy when Bond fails to respond when Elektra asks him if he has ever lost anyone that he loved.

Tracy references are rare, but they’ve also popped up at the beginning of For Your Eyes Only (the movie opens with Bond standing over Tracy’s grave) and License to Kill (Felix Leiter tells his new bride about Bond’s loss, in vague terms).

She is also mentioned in The Spy Who Loved Me. Agent XXX is reviewing Bond’s biography with him and touches a nerve.

Well, in GoldenEye, Alec Trevelyan asks Bond:

I might as well ask if all those vodka martinis silence the screams of all the men you’ve killed… or if you’ve found forgiveness in the arms of all those willing women, for the dead ones you failed to protect?

I.e., Tracy, among others.
