@@peter9477 If you were not familiar at all with the James Bond films, then yes, it's not obvious. But, if you are a casual fan, like I am, then it's obvious.
And the “oooh dear, do you want to continue?” In the fencing scene always gets me. I guess Sean Connery will always be the Bond everyone looks upto but there’s too much in his films you wouldn’t get away with today. For me Brosnan played the part brilliantly, got the balance of womanising and aggression spot on. Daniel Crag was good but he always strayed on the anger and recklessness side too much for me. That said Casino Royale and Skyfall were both brilliant.
aha ok! "The World is Not Enough" was my first James Bond movie; I saw it with my dad when I was nine years old. Thanks for pointing this detail out! Just saw Spectre with my parents last night, twenty-five years old now :)
Notice in this movie, Bond was pretty impressed with this vehicle he actually brought it back in relatively decent condition. Replacement windshield and armor repair is minor damage compared to most of the vehicles Bond returns from the field with.
Why this man is so Natural in being James Bond, just bugs me. He's exactly like the character in the books. His movements, hand gestures, the way he speaks.... Immaculate
I've always enjoyed seeing Brosnan on the big screen as James Bond, it really fit the character really well. Also it was rather unfortunate that Desmond Llewelyn wasn't in this movie because of an untimely car accident with a head-on collision with another vehicle and dying shortly after at the age of 85. I give a lot of praise to that guy, serving his country in the British Army as a second lieutenant for the Royal Welch Fusiliers. during the second world war, survived for 5 years as a POW at Colditz Castle in Germany after being captured by the German Army while in France,
This Bond car called "Vanish" was not as bad as someone contended. Pierce Brosnan had totally controlled this car exceedingly well in the final fight scene. As the 21st century's first James Bond car, the world needs to have more innovation from we usually saw in 20th century. The vanish car was astonishing in my opinion and it totally sustains a part of this magnificant Bond franchaise, that has set model which an action movie is required.
His LOOKS..His WORDS ...his EXPRESSION...his STYLE.. and HIS ATTITUDE ..OF COURSE...is what makes him BEST BOND EVER...we miss you alot Pierce... AS BOND...

John Cleese did a reasonably good job as Q. It’s a pity he only appeared in 2 Bond movies and didn't get a full crack of the... gadgets. On the other hand, the original Q (or rather Major Boothroyd as he was known then), Peter Burton only appeared in the first movie, Dr. No. I quite like the latest Q, Ben Whishaw. However, I think Desmond Llewelyn (may he rest in peace) will always be recognised as the definitive Q as he appeared in 17 Bond movies.

He was probably the most natural Bond - the one that could come in off the street and play 007 straight away. Connery and Lazenby had to be groomed, Dalton and Craig found their way through Fleming’s works, and more was probably the next most natural, although he was probably the funniest with the proper bon mot at the right time.
I liked Pierce on Remington Steele, and I was pissed when NBC screwed him when he was supposed to replace (I think) Roger Moore. Remington Steele had been cancelled, but NBC wanted to do like a 2-hour special finale to wrap up the story, so they wouldn't release him and Timothy Dalton got the gig. Glad Pierce go to do it anyway. I'm not a Bond fan at all, but I did see Die Another Day (hard to argue w/ Pierce and Halle Berry) 🙂
Connery - superb. Lazenby - ideal but the humour killed him. Moore - more bloody humour than action. Dalton - no comment. Brosnan - didn’t like him in RS, didn’t like him in JB. Craig - a worthy successor to Connery. Connery delivered one-liners but they were without emotion. He truly lived up to the idea of Bond being a blunt object used to dispatch enemies.

It's not until the end, when he proves himself, that Bond finally calls him Q.
I really enjoyed the first hour of Die Another Day. 007 being given up, the bit in Havana etc. Then it descended into silliness even for a Bond film. Invisible cars and ropey CGI
Yet no-one questions the amphibious Lotus Esprit from The Spy Who Loved Me which in reality is impossible to produce whereas the technology is available to produce an invisible Aston Martin.
@@anbrjd To be fair, it is entirely possible to build one. Check out the Top Gear video. It’s not an exact likeness (the wheels aren’t retractable etc.) but a submersible nonetheless..!
I think he was one of if not the best all rounder/complete bonds, he had the charm, the brains and the brawn whilst other bonds only had one or two of those things.
XX you don't even know whst you are talking about. Pierce's Bond movies are right up there with the best of the other Bond movies. The worst and most overrated is Goldfinger where Sean Connery almost gets sliced in half by a laser. Plot was badly written sshiite
It goes without saying that this generation could not pass without Pierce Brosnan being James Bond. He possessed everything necessary from looks to accent. Kind of a shame that they didn't get him sooner.
He was signed for the Dalton films. Broccoli saw him during roger moore period and laid eyes on him for Bond. He was so charming in his late 20s back then. Imagine him doing Daltons. ❤️
The 007 films ended with Brosnan in my book. Skyfall would've counted too had he been in it instead. (Craig just doesn't work for me, looks & sounds too much like a cross between a russian and a bruce willis ripoff)
@eating sugar no papa In terms of characterization, I mean, not only physical appearances. Besides, Craig portrayed a younger Bond as opposed to Dalton who was the continuation of Connery, Lazenby and Moore.
renember watching this as a kid and scenes like it thinking how cool bond was, watching it now I just feel like Q. REALLY? THAT CAR PROBABLY COSTS TENS OF MILLIONS, YOU COULD AT LEAST READ THE BLODDY MANUAL!
+Firemarioflower "NERDS" built all of your electronic devices, clown. Eject the old vocabulary, learn a more tolerable one. OR you could just bugger off?
"you know, you’re cleverer than you look" "hrm, still, better than looking cleverer than you are." forget tech, the wit is the most cutting edge thing here.
"Forgive my mentioning it, 007, but a PERFECT marksman isn't really supposed to shoot his own boss." "Check the replay, you'll find that he's dead and she's only got a flesh wound." "There's always an excuse isn't there double o zero!" "Just took a few seconds Q." "Wish I could make you Vanish." Funniest Bond:Q conversation in history!! LOL
"I wish I could make you vanish" said in exactly the same way as "I wish you were a mouse" in response to Joan Sanderson's complaint that the bath in her room at Fawlty Towers wasn't big enough to drown a mouse.
+Warsilver True, but I feel like we may be getting back to that after Daniel Craig is done, depending on who is directing the next one, and who we get to play Bond. To be fair, though, we DID at least GET Q in one of HIS. Granted, he's not how we expected, but at least we GOT him back! If Daniel Craig DOES INDEED come back for one more, I feel like Skyfall (where he got gadgets, but barely used them) and Spectre (where he used at least one, as to when in the movie he does, I won't spoil it for those who haven't seen it yet, but for those who have, myself included, you may already know) are the build-up to THAT one, where he actually uses them a bit more like Bond does in THESE. Think about it. It kind of makes sense, at least to me.
+Warsilver The way we like it. Not a Jason Bourne style, but 007!! Same with Roger moore, i think Brosnan is the greatest Bond and in someway had the same charming, witty and smooth style sir Roger had. Brosnan is the best Bond! Followed by sir Roger. Dalton and Craig (good bond but still least favorite) look boring compared to them. Lazenby and Connery deserve third and fourth place.
John Cleese was Q for only die another day because the previous Q died a few months after the world is not enough in 1999 so JAMES BOND waited till SKYFALL FOR THE NEW Q MEANING MI6 HAD M GIVING 007 THE GADGETS FOR 2 MOVIES
John Cleese should of stayed on to carry on playing Q from die another day to skyfall he would of been perfect as I don't think ben whishaw is suited for the role
Troube was he came after Desmond Llewelyn and so anyone would look like a step down in comparisson. Perhaps if the had skipped Q in this film then brought John Clease back in the next one it might have worked better
I was looking forward to pierce being in more bond films and cleese taking over as Q. but for some reason, I wanted the films to continue in much the same way as they had throughout the 90s because i loved goldeneye so much. but everyone else thinks pierces movies are dated in many ways. I never understood it. I really liked these 4 movies but I wont argue if someone told me die another day was the weakest.
Honestly, it's the charm and existence of films from the Brosnan era such as Goldeneye and The World Is Not Enough that made it so relevant. M literally calls Bond "a dinosaur." His boss went from cigarette smoking man to this legit smart and somewhat badass elderly woman. They made it a point to show while he may seem out of place, he is right where he needs to be. Then they did the same with M. Right into die another day-it's opening and whole "he is messed up/damaged" scenes before he basically self-rehabs is great. All the gritty talk, Craig just went through that in another form in the next film. Honestly, Die Another Day is better than tomorrow never dies to me-the latter's 2nd half like anything after "the doctor" was just really boring to me. Weakest bond no way-c'mon we've survived literal filler, a writer's strike film, lazenby not bond even in a film with a good plot, volcano lair, a unofficial but existent bad thunderball remake, and a space adventure.
@@LSSYLondon Totally agree. Getting M (Judi Dench) involved in the overall plot the way they did, coupled with the almost horrific take on Stockholm syndrome with Electra, set if off. If Denise Richards being cast a scientist was a bit of a put-off, look no further than the brilliance of Robert Carlyle as Renard, a gorgeous opening song easy top 5, and Bond's level of compassion going up more than usually ever for someone he didn't really have feelings for. Oh, and one last thing-the Russian mobster is actually given a completed arc from golden-eye. A++++++++++++++++
Agreed especially when it came to bothering Q and MoneyPenny. I loved how Pierce as Bond enjoyed making them( Q and Money penny ) go mad or at least make MoneyPenny role her eyes.
I honestly didn't mind D.A.D. as much as some other people did. Sure it was cheesy and gimmicky as hell, but it was still fun. And that fact that there was a reference to every previous Bond was awesome too.
Well i like it very much, it's classic Bond pure fun. Great action, gadgets and my all time favorite Bond actor Ohh and I forgot a great Villain Lair. I loved the ice palace
Q - The Ultimate in British Engineering Bond - You must be joking Q - As I learnt from my predecessor bond, I never joke about my work Aston Martin they call it the vanquish, we call it the vanish 🙌
Funny how actors that look so badazz on screen with a gun are also huge gun control advocates, and if I did not have guns and extensive gun training, I would not be alive today.
whenever the main character has a suppressor, everyone suddenly turns deaf even when it happens right next to them but when the bad guy has it, everyone can hear it all the way across the globe.
This scene made me realize Bond has a normal-ass office.
"This is where I clean my gun and causally day drink."
He would have to spend insane amounts of time there doing normal work, too. I like to imagine that all the years it takes between film releases are filled with 007 going to the office every day. The missions are a rare change of pace if this man were actually real. Imagine the phonecalls, the meetings, the foreign affairs papers, the social media coverage...
Man; Pierce's Bond would have had a WAY easier time doing all this shit. Look how much additional work he would have to do with his twitter account and Mi6's media representation and... ugh...

I really enjoyed the first hour of Die Another Day. 007 being given up, the bit in Havana etc. Then it descended into silliness even for a Bond film. Invisible cars and ropey CGI
The arrival at the ice palace was quite good as well. And the car chase was one of the very best…
I liked the invisible V12 Vanquish. The worst parts of DAD were the lightning suit and Halle Berry.
Yet no-one questions the amphibious Lotus Esprit from The Spy Who Loved Me which in reality is impossible to produce whereas the technology is available to produce an invisible Aston Martin.
@@anbrjd ha ha yeah. To be honest the only Roger Moore 007 film I like is For Your Eyes Only. The rest just seem like Carry on Bomd
@@anbrjd To be fair, it is entirely possible to build one. Check out the Top Gear video.
It’s not an exact likeness (the wheels aren’t retractable etc.) but a submersible nonetheless..!
its so cool to see all the old gadgets from the older movies
@@BladedBear Thunderball but close!
It was the 20th Bond film and it came out in the same year the Dr. No turned 40 so they went all in on the references to previous films
It's a real shame that he didn't continue in this role, he was really good in it!
I also think that the way Q's legs are projected through the car's camouflage is a tribute to "Silly Walks".
I thought he was going to start a "Silly Walk", after he tells Bond, "I wish I could make YOU vanish!"
"Wish I could make you vanish..."
heh, funny, even if questionable for Q to say but still is funny. :)
I think he was one of if not the best all rounder/complete bonds, he had the charm, the brains and the brawn whilst other bonds only had one or two of those things.
100%
The best Bond by far! He had such fun with the character! Not a grim bastard with no toys......
Yeah Timothy Dalton and the OG "Q" (Desmond Llewelyn) were good in The Living Daylights (1987). Both the toys and action scenes (pre-CGI) were badass!
Worst. Bond-Movie. Ever.
XX Uncultured swine.
XX you don't even know whst you are talking about. Pierce's Bond movies are right up there with the best of the other Bond movies. The worst and most overrated is Goldfinger where Sean Connery almost gets sliced in half by a laser. Plot was badly written sshiite
It goes without saying that this generation could not pass without Pierce Brosnan being James Bond. He possessed everything necessary from looks to accent. Kind of a shame that they didn't get him sooner.
He was signed for the Dalton films. Broccoli saw him during roger moore period and laid eyes on him for Bond. He was so charming in his late 20s back then. Imagine him doing Daltons. ❤️
I can't believe it's been 15 years since this movie
holy shit
Now I feel like a fossil reading this comment.. I was 17 when this came out
"Why don't you acquaint yourself with the manual you should be able to shot through that in a few hours."
"Just took a few seconds Q"
perfect.
DAMN I miss Brosnan.
The 007 films ended with Brosnan in my book. Skyfall would've counted too had he been in it instead.
(Craig just doesn't work for me, looks & sounds too much like a cross between a russian and a bruce willis ripoff)
@@jimtaylor294 Funny, considering that Craig were one the closest iterations of Ian Fleming's Bond.
@eating sugar no papa Try reading Ian Fleming's novels.
@eating sugar no papa In terms of characterization, I mean, not only physical appearances. Besides, Craig portrayed a younger Bond as opposed to Dalton who was the continuation of Connery, Lazenby and Moore.
@eating sugar no papa All of the Bonds from Connery up until Brosnan is the same person.
I lvoe how Bond has nothing but sarcastic quips for Q, but when he sees the car, he is genuinely impressed.
renember watching this as a kid and scenes like it thinking how cool bond was, watching it now I just feel like Q. REALLY? THAT CAR PROBABLY COSTS TENS OF MILLIONS, YOU COULD AT LEAST READ THE BLODDY MANUAL!
+Communist_Penguin NERD!
+Firemarioflower "NERDS" built all of your electronic devices, clown. Eject the old vocabulary, learn a more tolerable one. OR you could just bugger off?
whiteribbonman1 pretty sure it was a joke mate
Communist_Penguin It wasn't. You seriously need to stop overthinking too much. It's just a movie.
And you're not really a communist are you?
+Firemarioflower Feel better now? Good. 😆
I just realized rewatching this as adult, there are countless puns in a single Bond movie.
"you know, you’re cleverer than you look"
"hrm, still, better than looking cleverer than you are."
forget tech, the wit is the most cutting edge thing here.
*you’re
@@anbrjd fixed*
Q: Must you touch everything.
Bond: Does this thing still work. (touches a jetpack.)
"Forgive my mentioning it, 007, but a PERFECT marksman isn't really supposed to shoot his own boss."
"Check the replay, you'll find that he's dead and she's only got a flesh wound."
"There's always an excuse isn't there double o zero!"
"Just took a few seconds Q."
"Wish I could make you Vanish."
Funniest Bond:Q conversation in history!! LOL
hahahahhaha.
When you recall that John Cleese was in Monty Python, the crack about a "flesh wound" is really great.
Not gonna lie, John Cleese played a good Q!!!
"....cutting edge technology blah blah"
Bond triggers a shoe knife to appear
Me: *one hour later* "Ohhhhh....."
"I wish I could make you vanish" said in exactly the same way as "I wish you were a mouse" in response to Joan Sanderson's complaint that the bath in her room at Fawlty Towers wasn't big enough to drown a mouse.
I think its Bond: "You're cleverer than you look" Q: "Well it's better than looking cleverer than you are"
This is the good ol' bond! Cool gadgets and everything!
+Warsilver True, but I feel like we may be getting back to that after Daniel Craig is done, depending on who is directing the next one, and who we get to play Bond. To be fair, though, we DID at least GET Q in one of HIS. Granted, he's not how we expected, but at least we GOT him back! If Daniel Craig DOES INDEED come back for one more, I feel like Skyfall (where he got gadgets, but barely used them) and Spectre (where he used at least one, as to when in the movie he does, I won't spoil it for those who haven't seen it yet, but for those who have, myself included, you may already know) are the build-up to THAT one, where he actually uses them a bit more like Bond does in THESE. Think about it. It kind of makes sense, at least to me.
+Warsilver The way we like it. Not a Jason Bourne style, but 007!! Same with Roger moore, i think Brosnan is the greatest Bond and in someway had the same charming, witty and smooth style sir Roger had. Brosnan is the best Bond! Followed by sir Roger.
Dalton and Craig (good bond but still least favorite) look boring compared to them. Lazenby and Connery deserve third and fourth place.
Boring? Dalton was the best after Connery.
Warsilver I love old and new.
Stroke of genius casting John Cleese as Q! 👍👍👍
3:30 I like how he wants to make absolutely sure that it's really real.
"Must you touch everything?!?!?"
"Does this still work?"
😂😂😂😂😂😂
The _Thunderball_ pack
"Oh, very good" was my favorite line😁. Quite a feat to impress Pierce Brosnan
Probably my favourite bond film
Best bond ever
Shoulda brought John Cleese back as Q in the Craig films
TheGuyThatsAwesome Especially since they did bring Judi Dench back...
Felix Leiter naa wrong style
+Felix Leiter have to agree
+Felix Leiter I actually prefer the new Q. He is much more relatable in our day and age than John Cleese.
+Son Of Montreal he's a dumbass hipster. We don't want a Q to be relatable, that's not his job.
Brosnan and Cleese deserved better than this.
I'm sure neither of them minded when they got their huge cheques in the post.
agree
fuuukkkkkk youuuuuuuuuuu :-------)
antsman That's their *job*. What they *work* for. One day when you get a job, you'll see how happy you are when payday comes. lol
Emperor Reign I deserve better than to read comments left by uncultured spastics.
"I wish I could make *you* vanish" is my favorite line from any of the films.
Could be a Fawlty Towers reference when he’s dealing with a deaf Karen 😂
“Wish u were a mouse, I’d show you.”
Maybe you've been down here for too long. :D
Wait...so the guns just automatically shoot at anything they see above them? :I What about birds and planes?
+The steamy Spy Or Superman?
+The steamy Spy So that's how 9/11 happened O_O
+WH250398 Well that escalated quickly... O.o
+Its Jr I mean, that REALLY got out of hand FAST.
+Hunter Hughes It jumped up a notch.
Did nobody catch the “Double O zero” that Q threw out?! Bwahahahahahahahaha!!
John Cleese was Q for only die another day because the previous Q died a few months after the world is not enough in 1999 so JAMES BOND waited till SKYFALL FOR THE NEW Q MEANING MI6 HAD M GIVING 007 THE GADGETS FOR 2 MOVIES
"There's always an excuse, is there, double-o zero?"
I would have loved for that shootout to be an actual invasion of MI5
(belatedly) MI6!
Oh god I wish they had another movie together, so brilliant
John Cleese should of stayed on to carry on playing Q from die another day to skyfall he would of been perfect as I don't think ben whishaw is suited for the role
'I don't think Ben whishaw is suited for the role'
- neither was John.
Troube was he came after Desmond Llewelyn and so anyone would look like a step down in comparisson. Perhaps if the had skipped Q in this film then brought John Clease back in the next one it might have worked better
*have
Simply the best Q briefing EVER.
Been a long time since I saw that movie I had forgotten about all that. Very nice to remember.
I was looking forward to pierce being in more bond films and cleese taking over as Q. but for some reason, I wanted the films to continue in much the same way as they had throughout the 90s because i loved goldeneye so much. but everyone else thinks pierces movies are dated in many ways. I never understood it. I really liked these 4 movies but I wont argue if someone told me die another day was the weakest.
The world is not enough is my personal favourite Bond film ever.
Geoff Dick.. Die another day was the weakest.. In my opinion
Honestly, it's the charm and existence of films from the Brosnan era such as Goldeneye and The World Is Not Enough that made it so relevant. M literally calls Bond "a dinosaur." His boss went from cigarette smoking man to this legit smart and somewhat badass elderly woman. They made it a point to show while he may seem out of place, he is right where he needs to be. Then they did the same with M. Right into die another day-it's opening and whole "he is messed up/damaged" scenes before he basically self-rehabs is great. All the gritty talk, Craig just went through that in another form in the next film. Honestly, Die Another Day is better than tomorrow never dies to me-the latter's 2nd half like anything after "the doctor" was just really boring to me. Weakest bond no way-c'mon we've survived literal filler, a writer's strike film, lazenby not bond even in a film with a good plot, volcano lair, a unofficial but existent bad thunderball remake, and a space adventure.
@@LSSYLondon Totally agree. Getting M (Judi Dench) involved in the overall plot the way they did, coupled with the almost horrific take on Stockholm syndrome with Electra, set if off. If Denise Richards being cast a scientist was a bit of a put-off, look no further than the brilliance of Robert Carlyle as Renard, a gorgeous opening song easy top 5, and Bond's level of compassion going up more than usually ever for someone he didn't really have feelings for. Oh, and one last thing-the Russian mobster is actually given a completed arc from golden-eye. A++++++++++++++++
I've notice the fans have lighten up a bit on The World is Not Enough. I personally think Goldeneye is his best.
Oh, I miss these kind of bond movies. Modern bond is just too believable, serious and depressing.
agreed.
i miss them too but i also love the newer ones..
And boring
MrSquidman007 Latter sentence is absurd.
Zoltan Csikos there arent many of these futuristic gadgets.
"As I learned from my predecessor, I never joke about my work."
Proceeds to make a joke "Aston Martin Vanish"
"It's only a flesh wound." A nod to the Holy Grail from 007. 😁
Also his walking behind the invisible Aston looks like his silly walk.😂
Humourus Bond is best Bond.
True that. And old Q is infinitely better than hipster trash Q
Agreed especially when it came to bothering Q and MoneyPenny.
I loved how Pierce as Bond enjoyed making them( Q and Money penny ) go mad or at least make MoneyPenny role her eyes.
Humerus Bone is best Bone
I honestly didn't mind D.A.D. as much as some other people did. Sure it was cheesy and gimmicky as hell, but it was still fun. And that fact that there was a reference to every previous Bond was awesome too.
Well i like it very much, it's classic Bond pure fun.
Great action, gadgets and my all time favorite Bond actor
Ohh and I forgot a great Villain Lair. I loved the ice palace
I agree......but...erm....that kitesurfing scene though.....
My god.....these one liner battles was savage 😅😅😅
Every time Bond is in Q's workshop, Bond is like a kid playing with new toys. Has to touch everything and anything.
3:05 - He's doing a silly walk!
John Cleese played a decent Q I wished he stayed
"Maybe you've been down here too long" 😂 this part always cracks me up
“And she has only got a flesh wound”
Haha a reference to Monty Python & the Holy Grail 😂😂😂
Nice scene with John Cleasse as Q
I want a movie about Q.
KeatonKitsune... That really is NOT A BAD IDEA!
It is amazing how 2002 seems here more futuristic than 2024.
Q - The Ultimate in British Engineering
Bond - You must be joking
Q - As I learnt from my predecessor bond, I never joke about my work
Aston Martin they call it the vanquish, we call it the vanish 🙌
Pierce Brosnan one of my favourite James Bond
Gotta admit, I thought John Cleese looked badass firing the gun at that glass!
Funny how actors that look so badazz on screen with a gun are also huge gun control advocates, and if I did not have guns and extensive gun training, I would not be alive today.
Fun to see all the old gadgets from past movies. Had to laugh when he sniffed the shoe knife which I think was in "From Russia With Love".
whenever the main character has a suppressor, everyone suddenly turns deaf even when it happens right next to them but when the bad guy has it, everyone can hear it all the way across the globe.
Bond: "She's got a flesh wound."
Q: "Where have I heard that before?"
Monty Python's Search For The Holy Grail. Black Knight scene.
@@jamest1148, yeah thanks...
I actually really like Brosnan as Bond. He fits the role well. I always just found him to be the most bond-like you know.
The amount of puns and jokes in this scene alone lol
Campy Bond is so damn fun. We need to go back to that formula.
