List the references to previous Bond films in Die Another Day
What are all the references to previous Bond films...(references as opposed to recycled plots and recurring motifs..ie..no destruction of evil villian gian liar...
Halle Berry coming out of water is a reference to Ursual Andress coming out of water in Dr. No.
Q's gadget's room - has tiny copter from Octopussy, Rosa Klebb's steel toe shoes, an aligator (also from Octopussy?) I'm sure there were more in there that I missed.
Bird book - a refence to how Flemming came up with the name J.B.
Parachute with British flag - reference to Spy Who Loved Me
Q says that he's giving Bond his 20th watch. Reference to the number of Bond films.
Halle Berry torture device similar to the one in Goldfinger.

Diamonds are Forever - Graves says "Diamonds are for everyone" at Blades. Also, in the article Bond reads on the plane, it says "Diamonds are Forever" at the bottom.
Thunderball - Bond uses the same rebreather underwater.
Also, not from the films, but Miranda Frost very closely resembles Gala Brand from the novel Moonraker. In fact, I think that was originally what her character was called.

Helicopter is from You Only Live Twice
Breathing thing from Thunderball, shown in the lab and when Bond goes underneath the ice.
Thunderball jetpack also in Q lab.
Aston Martin w/ Ejector Seat referencing Goldfinger. Also the whole conversation about the car was a reference to Goldfinger when 007 and Q discuss the Aston Martin "I never joke about my work".
And I think (this might be a stretch) that the diamonds mentioned in Die Another Day (African conflict diamonds) may be a reference to where Blofeld was getting his diamonds pipelined in Diamonds Are Forever.

I think both the Octopussy and Thunderball vehicles were there. One was on the floor when Bond first came in. The other was hung from the ceiling....
I think I'm right but not 100% sure.

Let's see, off the top of my head...
Dr No - Halle Berry in the bikini w/knife on her hip coming out of the water.
From Russia With Love - various weapons & gadgets
Goldfinger - ejector seat
Thunderball - breather unit
You Only Live Twice - plot point
Diamonds are Forever - The Icarus satellite (pretty much the same plot device from DAF)
The Spy Who Loved Me - parachute with the Union Jack
Licence To Kill - plot point
There are some others - especially gadgets, etc.

What weapons and gadgets from From Russia with Love...? I was looking for the briefcase in Q's shop but didn't see it....
Not sure why they had Rosa Klebb's shoe as it wasn't issued by Q branch (or was it???!!)

So, now that Desmond Lewelyn is dead and John Cleese is no longer funny, are the filmmakers going to fill all the Q briefings with "wity" self reflexive nostalgia? Oh, I can't wait....
Oh Bond, cling to that past as hard as you can. It's all you've got.

They didn't have nearly enough Roger Moore references. There's this ridiculous R.M. backlack...don't understand...he wasn't Connery but he did make 7 fun movies...not an easy feet...
Any Lazembery references...

I remembered another reference to Goldfinger. In Cuba, Bond drinks mint julipe (sp). He drinks the same while he's a guest at Goldfinger's ranch in Kentucky.
