[edit] Trademarks
As with other director's, Glen's movies each have an individual trademark in the form of a pigeon flying out of a hole in a wall. These are noticeable during his five Bond Movies, Glen's Bond movies also feature at least one character falling to his or her death from an aeroplane, with each character performing the same scream.
