GOLDENEYE 007 BOND FILM REFERENCES... Some of the movie photos on this page are from Absolutely James Bond, a great site for James Bond movie fans. Goldeneye 007 is primarily based on one Bond film, that of course being the 1995 film GoldenEye, staring Pierce Brosnan. But so many items, characters, and objects are actually from previous Bond films, dating back to the very first one, Dr. No, in 1962. In fact, every film up to Goldeneye is included. Some of these mentions are "beta" items accessible only with Gameshark/Action Replay, but most are found while playing the game normally. A huge thanks to Ian Rogers for suggesting this section, and providing a list of these references.
Dr. No, 1962:
From Russia With Love, 1963: Lectre: An item who's name is the only part that appears in the game. It appears when using a Gameshark code. See my Beta Items section for codes. Weapon Case: Another beta item, (see Beta Items section), the weapon case could probably fit in a number of Bond films. But this black case is handed to 007 directly from Q, and it contains an arsenal of hidden weapons. I'm betting that this beta item was based on the case from this film.
Goldfinger, 1964:
Thunderball, 1965:
You Only Live Twice, 1967: You Only Live Twice: The two-deaths allowed scenario from Multiplayer was obviously named after this film.
On Her Majesty's Secret Service, 1969: OHMSS: These letters, which are an abbreviation for the film's title, appear in the Mission and Multiplayer setup screens.
Diamonds Are Forever, 1971:
Live And Let Die, 1973:
Watch Magnet: The Watch Magnet attract appears in Goldeneye 007, as does the Watch Magnet Repel, only accessible with Gameshark. The Man With The Golden Gun, 1974:
The Man With The Golden Gun: Another scenario named after a Bond film. This scenario of course, allows for only one Golden Gun in the level, and only one man can possess it.
The Spy Who Loved Me, 1977:
Egyptian: I overlooked this, but in a desert seen of this film, Bond and his female companion have a confrontation with Jaws in some Egyptian ruins, and believe that they crush Jaws under giant blocks. Could this have been where Rareware got the idea for the Egyptian Temple?
Moonraker, 1979:
For Your Eyes Only, 1981: For Your Eyes Only: Stamped, and just barely visible on the first select screen, is what would be "For Your Eyes Only". That title has become a universal Bondian quote.
Octopussy, 1983: Throwing Knives: The red-handled throwing knives are a rarity in the game, but were used by the villain Kamal Khan.
The Living Daylights, 1987: The Living Daylights: The Multiplayer Scenario, The Living Daylights (also known as Flag Tag) takes its name from the Bond film from 1987.
License To Kill, 1989: License To Kill: The One Hit Kill Scenario, my personal favorite, was appropriately named after this Bond film.
GoldenEye, 1995: Okay, okay. Pretty well every part of the game is based on the GoldenEye movie. But a Gameshark-enabled item from the film, isn't in the final game.

Honey:
Controller Setting 1.1 Honey, is named after the very first Bond
girl, Honey Rider (Ursula Andress).
Oddjob:
Auric Goldfinger's henchman, Oddjob is a Korean wrestler, and tough
as nails. His steel rimmed bowler hat, which he removed and hurled
at objects became his trademark.
Galore:
Another controller setting, 2.2 Galore, is actually named after
Pussy Galore, the film's Bond girl.
White
Tux: Okay,
this isn't even in the final game. But we have enough screenshots,
along with a video, of a character wearing Sean Connery's
famous white tux. The tux is only available for us to use
in Perfect Dark.
Domino:
Dominio Vitali, this film's Bond girl shares her name with Controller
setting, 2.3 Domino.
Watch
Geiger Counter:
Another item only accessible with Gameshark. See my 
Kissy:
Kissy Suzuki, the Bond girl from the film, and also the name of
yet another controller setting, 1.3 Kissy.
Plenty:
Controller Setting 2.1 Plenty, is named after Plenty O'Toole, the
Bond girl from this film.
Baron
Samedi: The voodoo
master appears in Live And Let Die. He is unharmed by all of Bond's
attempts to destroy him, and laughs from the caboose after falling
from the train at the film's end. His defiance of death is his reason
for return in Goldenye.
Solitaire:
Yet another controller setting, 1.2 Solitaire, is named after Live
And Let Die's Bond Girl, Solitaire.
Golden
Gun: The
assassin, Scaramanga's weapon. A single shot from his Golden
weapon means instant death. Needless to say only Bond, James
Bond, can defeat him.
Goodnight:
Bond girl Mary Goodnight (Britt Ekland) is the name behind controller
setting 1.4 Goodnight.
Scaramanga:
The briefing for Egyptian mentions "Scaramanga
has passed into legend as the deadliest assassin of all time".
Scaramanga of course, is the deadly assassin from The Man With
The Golden Gun.
Jaws:
The giant, eight foot tall steel-toothed monster known as Jaws debuts
in The Spy Who Loved Me.
Moonraker
Laser: The blue
beam lasers appeared in Moonraker, and they also appear in
Goldeneye's Multiplayer, and the Aztec Level.
Moonraker
Elite: The banana-yellow
uniforms of the Moonraker Elite were worn by the couples sent to
space.
Goodhead:
A rather unusual name, but nonetheless, it was the name of Bond
girl Holly Goodhead, and controller setting 2.4 Goodhead.
Drax:
The Drax Corporation is mentioned in the briefing, and Hugo Drax
of course, was the head of the operation to create the perfect human
race in Moonraker.
Mayday:
The second, and final classic villain that was not included in any
Goldeneye 007 Mission, appeared in this film.
Gas
Key Ring: An item
only accessible with Gameshark, see my 
Dalton
Tux: Just
like Sean Connery's white tux, this tux is not in the final
game. It appears in Perfect Dark, but we also have a beta
screenshot of it in Goldeneye. See the 
Piton
Gun: In the movie,
Bond uses the Piton Gun to hook himself to the bottom of the Dam.
The Piton Gun's use is mentioned in the Dam's Q Branch. And, the
Piton Gun item's name is accessible with Gameshark.
