End of minute 18
Minute 19 of Casino Royale sees Bond blow up the Nambutu Embassy. About the explosion on the Blu Ray commentary special effects supervisor Chris Corbould says:
They had to digitally put some roofing over one of the guards who was still alight. They didn’t want to show the guard alight and the stage still in tact.
Is he saying Listen to Me?
The Nambutu Embassy official is played by British-Nigerian born actor Valentine Nonyela. His IMDB page pre-Casino Royale boasts of mainly British TV work. Recently he is working more in producing films.

I caught you quoting the embassy guy ahead of the moment but he’s not saying “listen to me” – it’s some kinda French dialect. He’s sayin “release him” or some shit.
