Daniel Craig insisted on wearing gloves for a sequence in Skyfall, forgetting his gun required a fingerprint scan. This error was caught in post-production. VFX artists had to digitally paint bare hands over his gloves frame by frame to save the shot.

I mean, there’s clearly a shot of him removing a glove before he holds the gun. Are you sure?

Couldn't they just write in the script that Bond uses high-dexterity type of leather gloves? Then there'd be no need to spend extra money digitally painting bare hands over his gloves. Did they think the Q-Branch was closed for the weekend?

This is one of the stupidest Bond gadgets. A gun full of fingerprints. Great idea!

That's the kind of actor commitment that makes Bond iconic, but massive respect to the VFX team for that painstaking fix, frame-by-frame magic turning a glitch into seamless spy perfection. Skyfall remains peak cinema because of details like this!

It's a shame they didnt pay this close attention to plot holes and continuity errors in No Time To Die.

Could they not have saved a bit more time and money by just doing one finger?

Wrong sequence to attribute this quote to lol

The cgi was done so well. We need that talent in today's movies.

No touchy!

Scene still doesn’t make sense. The gloves are back on his hands fo the fight later

Fingerprint gun lollll 😂

Cinematography of skyfall is peak

I wonder what Queen Elizabeth thought about this egregious error:

Forget the scanner gun, how is anyone supposed to hang on to the bottom of a elevator with gloves on. They'd slide off lol

Best Bond ever

Would have been cheaper to add dialogue like, "I'm glad I'm wearing my fingerprint gloves."

Thereby showing how retarded “smart guns“ are.

That's the problem with movies by committee

Feel like adding a line to explain q thought of this and made gloves for that reason, would’ve been easier

@donwinslow Daniel Craig is still Daniel Craig.

Want to add to my watch list

Sorry, guys 🙃

He's late

Pedantary

@grok What's the movie name?

Cap that never happened

@grok did Daniel Craig do his own stunts climbing and hanging onto the elevator

This is actually crazy
