[edit] Comment 1

Le Chiffre translates in french as "The Number", possibly a reference to Crowley's number, '666'. - maybe my French skills are lacking, but isn't that "The Counter", as in, "One who counts"? Number is simply nombre Sherurcij (Speaker for the Dead) 05:51, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

Nombre is short in Spanish for name fool!!

I looked up on google translate and it says "the figure"

I'm french and i confirm that "le chiffre" means the number or the digit.

[edit] Comment 2

Does he....SPOILERS AHEAD:



Die when he's shot in the head or is it him hit with a nailgun?- somebody else

He dies when Mr. White shoots him in the head in Montenegro. The guy that Bond shoots with the nailgun in Venice is Gettler, Mr. White's henchman. --nsam543

ohhhh gettler looks like Le Chiffre i thought it was him -The R.

Le Chiffre states that he lost USD 101 206 000 in stock speculation when the bombing of the plane fails, but IMO it isn't stated anywhere that the entire sum was from Mr. Obanno. All that is known is that Obanno deposits three crates of bills to Le Chiffre, but the exact amount isn't disclosed. The same error(?) appears on the Steven Obanno page. How should this be addressed? --86.60.140.229 21:12, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

I noticed that also. Plus if it was all Obanno's money, then LeChiffre's worries would be over when he sees Obanno dead, but it was mentioned several times that LeChiffre had all his creditors on his tail if he didn't win the poker game which was around the same amount. 71.128.205.128 01:48, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Dachau camp

The Dachau camp is not listed in Template:WWII DP camps. What is know about this? Was it at the site of the Dachau concentration camp?  Andreas  (T) 23:40, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] No quotes

Wikiquote exists for that. And by the way,

"Le Chiffre: You are funny man, Mr Bond. (Whips him again)."

At least you could've written it right - "you are a funny man, Mr. Bond.".

Uh, yeah except he doesn't say that. He says you are funny man Mr. Bond because he's Albanian and doesn't speak English like us. And might I further add that Wikiquote's existence doesn't Hans Gruber or Hugo Drax from having a quotes section in their article.

What possible benefit does a quotations ("quote" is a verb) section serve in an article anyway? Particularly when it consists solely of undistinguished chunks of dialogue from the script. Opera hat 15:17, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The reason for the inhaler

I have seen the 2006 film about 6 times and I don't recall any on screen reference to Le Chiffre using the inhaler because of the drugs. Lacking any on-screen evidence I removed this as speculation. It could just as easily be suggested that Le Chiffre simply has athsma as he speaks with the a slightly breathless tone of voice that could be attributed to athsma. 23skidoo (talk) 17:05, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
