There are only three British-trained runners - Ahoy Senor, The Real Whacker and Royale Pagaille - and they are all outsiders.

Guests at the VIP booths ringing the venue will find a pack of candy cigarettes on their table, and there’s a Royale with cheese on the menu, a wink to the burger famously referenced by John Travolta during his reverie about Europe in “Pulp Fiction.”

The former Super Man actor, who has said he "would love to play Bond", was widely regarded to have been the runner-up years ago when Craig landed the part for the first of his five 007 films, 2006's Casino Royale.

Compensating for all that is the regular reminder that a battle royale is brewing between the title character, played by a 6’3” actor, and a heavy portrayed by a bodybuilder known as the Dutch Giant, a 7-foot, 2-inch tower.

And on Feb. 27, 2005, in Hollywood’s Kodak Theatre the battle royale was fought by Spain, Sweden, France, Germany and South Africa … with Spain emerging as the victor.
