Of course, Austin has to visit Vanessa’s grave from the first film. He brushes dust off the tombstone, revealing the portrait of a malfunctioning fem-bot (1997-1999), and says “I miss you. You were very shagadelic, baby, yeah! Hahaha! Shwing!” as people attending a nearby funeral glance over their s...

Austin needs to get information from mini-me, so he creeps up on him from behind in the shower, kissing his neck and ears, until they make passionless, robotic love. He later needs to shoot something funny off his head. Two seconds after the shootout, Austin’s reinforcements including Basil reveal t...

Like peas in a pod. Craig is creatively involved in the films he’s in (which is most evident with QOS and NTTD) and obviously loves being in Johnson’s Knives Out.
