Yeah, inspired by the Baader-Meinhoff gang.

SPECTRE and Quantum and similar, but definitely not the same. Less menacing villans and henchmen, for one thing! :mrgreen:

My guess is that if it wasn't for the legal hassles surrounding SPECTRE, Quantum wouldn't exist, though. The two are pretty much interchangeable, just a change of name and a Q instead of an octopus as an insignia.

I have to admit Kristatos, I never picked up on how similar the Q Insignia and Octopus Ring where. I feel pretty Dumb. It's as Close as you can Get Legaly I'm assuming :lol:

Wasn't there even a reference in QOS to Quantum having tentacles everywhere, which is what the octopus was supposed to signify?

I have to admit unlike other Bonds I haven't watched it enough to remember Lines from It. Which I'm rather Happy with :). At one stage I forgot B Tanner was even in it, so memorable was the Character :)

I'd prefer someone more OTT if Blofeld returned.
