Casino Royale (1967)

• One possible explanation for the disjointed nature of the movie is that Peter Sellers walked off the movie before he had finished all of his scenes. Of course, there is that whole "five directors" thing.
• David Niven was Ian Fleming's original choice for James Bond.

Casino Royale (2006)

• For the first time, the gun barrel opening sequence has been integrated into the narrative of the film. Being as such, it is inderted in the heat of the action, and without the usual slow walk by Bond in a tuxedo. 
• The title sequence does not feature any women, aside from the face of Vesper Lynd briefly revealed as the face of the queen of hearts on a passing card.
• The drink that Bond invents at the poker tables, the Vesper, comes directly from the Ian Fleming books, as opposed to that "vodka martini, shaken not stirred" nonsense.
• The recipe for the Vesper: "Three measures of Gordon's, one of vodka, half a measure of Kina Lillet. Shake it very well until it's ice-cold, then add a large thin slice of lemon peel." Serve "in a deep champagne goblet."
