Influence On Future Bond Films
Some key plot elements in Licence Renewed, including other Gardner Bond novels, may have had some influence in future Bond films; most notably Anton Murik's plot of a nuclear disaster with the aid of an infamous terrorist which was the basis of The World Is Not Enough. Other key elements from Renewed that appeared in future Bond films were Anton's cheating at horse racing, which Max Zorin did in A View to a Kill, and the obsession with weapons, not unlike Brad Whitaker in The Living Daylights. Gardner's Role of Honour and A View to a Kill also share similar climaxes.
