how was Bond able to endure this? did he have prior training. I dont remember this scene the first time I watched the movie.
shareMI6 operatives undergo many hours of intense 'testicle conditioning' by the SAS before they are allowed into the field.
shareThere were four possible outcomes.
Give up the passcode and be killed relatively painlessly.
Give up the passcode and still be killed but in some agonizing way.
Hold out, and have his genitalia fed to him before being killed, but maintain his dignity, all while giving Le Chiffre the finger.
Hold out and possibly be presented with an out in which he survives.
Holding out was not only the most logical course of action, it was one that satisfied Bondโs ego as well.
Oh, the things he does for England.
