Casino Royale is one of the best James Bond films. And, perhaps, the best of the five films regarding agent 007 in which Daniel Craig starred. But like any superhero film (and who would argue that Bond is a superhero?) it has a lot of inaccuracies.
Let’s skip all the somersaults and battles of the Mi-6 agent, following which an ordinary person is unlikely to survive. After all, that’s why Bond is Bond, he’s always lucky. Let’s dwell on a situation from which 007 might not get out alive.
It happened during a poker game, when Le Chiffre decided to poison the hero by mixing something forbidden into his glass of cocktail.
In this scene, everything immediately went wrong for the filmmakers. When Bond tries to adjust the defibrillator in the car, the message “ventricular tachycardia” appears on the monitor. The monitor’s rapid beep makes this serious cardiac arrhythmia plausible, but then the beep gradually slows, indicating 2nd or 3rd degree heart block or impending asystole (no heartbeat at all) rather than ongoing ventricular tachycardia or cardiac arrest (ventricular fibrillation). ).
Then Bond’s colleague Vesper comes running, inserts the disconnected wire into the defibrillator, the device goes off, and the agent is saved. Hooray!
But such a sequence of actions is unreliable, since defibrillation cannot be used to treat a slow heart rate, much less heart block or asystole. That is, Bond should not have survived.
The “correct” sequence of events would have been to worsen the ventricular tachycardia to ventricular fibrillation and then shock the defibrillator to return the heart to a normal, life-saving rhythm.
It is clear that such a film blunder will be noticed only by those who have connected their lives with medicine. And this, there is an opinion, is not even 1% of those who watched the film. But still, the creators should have hired a specialist for such a scene.
