"I'm just trying to do the honorable thing returning the money to its rightful owner" Bond: "and we know how difficult that can be for a Swiss Banker" criminally underrated zinger
Not to mention when she asks Bond if he would like to check her figures. The expressions on her face when she looks at the Swiss banker after 007's sarcastic use of "I'm sure they are perfectly rounded" pseudo/lust response is delightful. Especially when followed by the controlled precision violence Bond uses on the security guards.
Pretty sure they'll find ways to make it even more subtle, and prepare for dick jokes when the female Bond takes over. It's writing itself with a female Bond actor.
He looks SO good in this film but particularly this scene. The suit, tie, hair etc are all excellent. And that part when he holds his gun to the banker's head is so badass. "Let's count to three..." He really means business. One of the best films in the entire series for my money.
@@splintergectornathan9045 Good for you, I’m really glad you enjoy it because I try every time and I just can’t. The quieter scenes of dialogue are brilliant and I honestly like the ending fight with Greene, it’s very high energy and frantic, but most of the action is just not very well edited and really choppy for my tastes. As I say, more power to you.
Pierce Brosnan was the absolute best Bond. All four of his films would be in my Top 10 of the franchise. I like this opening scene in particular. What a legend!
Brosnan deserved far better Bond movies than his actual ones, and in my opinion he is very qualified to play James Bond as Fleming created him with both professional and human sides, even more than Craig, and more spontaneous and simple than Dalton !.
Brosnan looks like a model more than an actor with barely few expressions in the movie. Craig and Dalton were professional actors and theater artist, no wonder Craig film's were more successful with better stories.
Hot take: Brosnan is better than Craig. He looks always confident and he even passes that confidence to you. He always had bad ass one liners before the kill and even in his gun barrel sequence he has the perfect walk. posture and turn! Imagine having skyfall and casino royale with Brosnan ( as he looked like in the 90s of course) and you have the perfect Bond film
Craig's Bond had to be more sympathetic after the death of Vesper for the other movies to work. He brought a lot more emotion to the character which imo made those movies so much better. The emotional backstory aspect alone practically carried Spectre, and made for a brilliant finale in No Time To Die
@@stevejeffrey11 It was purposely made as a darker Bond. Pierce Brosnan said in an interview that the best thing about him not playing Bond was that he wouldn't have to say the one line puns.
@@MegaMangaGTA-9417 Pierce Brosnan is the best Bond of them all in my opinion Ultra Confident Cool and Panache Opportunistic Womanizer Suave Sophisticated Charismatic Charming Playboy Spy Outstanding 1 liner delivery Ticked every box.....

@The Monster Under Your Bed He had the charm Ian Flemming wanted. That's why I like him along with just be a more dynamic character. Until him, all Bonds were one dimensional.
@@gameofpwns1165 In some ways, I think that it's inverted: Brosnan was the coldest Bond. The Craig films are largely about Bond cracking under the pressure of persona in the Double-O role: thus, they very much are about humanizing him. Such a deconstruction takes place in Brosnan's films as well, particularly GoldenEye, yet the point is reversed as far as outcome: Bond might be alienated from the British government in a post-national world, yet he keeps his Cool Persona to the very bitter (dropping Trevalyan to his death) end. Brosnan's Bond was consistently about superior compartmentalization: he finishes the job, while making sure nobody truly gets past his cool facade. It's actually an incredibly sleek-yet-cold portrayal of the character. And few seem to notice.
Totally agree with you... But nobody begs the question, why? (Not why we shouldn't, that bit is obvious) But why do the hot ones do what they do? Is life that boring for them? Makes you wander ...
Brosnan's portrayal was perfect and very much like Connery's where you'd see that rough side come out of a trained killer. You could see it on their expressions after they'd nix a couple of henchmen-a very dark expression of ruthlessness. I liked Roger Moore but he was a bit too polished for me. Brosnan played the part perfectly of the gentlemanly, sophisticated, ice-cold killer who could flick a switch and serve tea with a smile the next second.
Man this is the Bond I miss. Daniel Craig isn't bad but the charm this Bond had was unbeatable. They he handled situations and then his guitar riff plays it's just absolute perfection.
I love that fact that Patrick Malahide's still holding his cigar when he's pulled up off the floor after the stun grenade goes off. Never waste a good cigar.
Q came up with some real whacky contraptions over the years. And they always came in handy at some point. Part of what made the old Bond movies fun was seeing how Bond used some of these ridiculous gadgets.
@Hei Darkfire I assume they brainstormed the wacky stunts they wanted to do in the film then wrote out a scene of Q giving Bond whatever he'd need to do them. Which led to some ridiculous gadgets, like this flashbang grenade hidden in a gun which is triggered with a hidden button on a pair of reading glasses. This is what I want in Bond movies. Not gritty realism where his gadgets are a gun and a radio. I wanna see wacky, campy hijinks.
It'll make perfect sense. In the event of being capture, the gun is the first thing they will take from you, and will closely guarding it, making the result more effective at a single bang. But having learn this, next time they'll take your glasses and let you keep the gun.
As a photojournalist in some rather shady places over the years, it was this scene with the window escape that inspired me to acquire a 'Sterling F4 Descender' and 40m of rappelling rope that I keep in my bag at all times..

Love the TWINE opening scene. (including the boat chase) This is what James Bond movies should always be, neatly elegant, sharply swift and witty smart. Not grimy gritty, take themselves too seriously and overly "grounded in realism" like Craig's movies. I really miss the "Classic James Bond" and I hope that next Bond movie would return to this style of 007.
It would really have to depend on how the script turns out. They just tried to do the classic style with Spectre, but it didn't work out, because the kind of quality of tone just didn't fit with the grounded version of Craig, so they have to be in a serious way. Not very serious, but plain serious in some ways.
@@kristianleal5400 Spectre turned out as a mixed bag is because director approach isn't clear. On one hand is on "we gonna make this as a tribute to the Classic Bond movies", but on the other hand is on "this will be another same stuff as previous Craig's movies" so the end result is a mixed bag. In the end, Skyfall should be the ending of Craig's era Bond. The ending of Skyfall is a sign that James Bond has return to classic formula (such as return of Q and Moneypenny, return to old MI6 HQ, gadgets are back, etc) and the Bond 24 should take a fresh start/light rebooted with new actor as new 007 rather than making 4th Craig's movie (even Craig himself wasn't happy with it) that called Spectre. I miss the days that Bond movies plot are more simplistic and straitforward rather than be more melodramatic or be about Bond past/personal depression.

@@redlightmax In my opinion, James Bond movies work best in episodic format. It's like Tom and Jerry or Popeye The Sailor Man, both cartoons are episodic but both are filled with main cast and recurring characters, even in some era of Bond movies has some original recurring characters too. (for example, Moore era has Sheriff J.W. Pepper, Jaws and the man with bottle, Brosnan era has Valentin Zukovski, Jack Wade and Charles Robinson (Colin Salmon's character) Next Bond movies need to go back to the episodic format, maybe has some light connection to the previous movie. (such as Blofeld and Spectre in Connery era movies)
HEAT SEEKER I have no beef against Craig/his acting - I think he played a new style of Bond well. But I dont particularly enjoy the way Bond has been written since the Craig reboot
I used to find this bond film a bit frustrating in terms of plot, but in retrospect i see it as one of the more intricate ones. You think it's about something, but not all is as it seems. And then at the right moment, it flips things on it's head and you're taken for a loop.
Pierce and Dalton played Bond closest to the source material, Bond was not some nonchalant emotionless man like how Daniel Craig played him but a man who was human and expressed emotion like anger and sadness.
Craig expressed plenty of emotion in his movies, especially in Casino Royale and Skyfall. Skyfall is probably Craig's most Fleming-esque, as he captures the Literary Bond's cynicism. I wish Brosnan had gotten a film as strong as Casino Royale.
Dalton is my all time favourite, absolutely. He was dark, gritty, dangerous and stylish. Very believable. But I like Brosnan too. I think the style of Bond movies ended with Brosnan. Craig's movies are good action movies but there is no the style and heart of Bond movies anymore. Something is just missing
Yeah u are right, all the Bond's up until Brosnan had chest hair and low mustcle tone. Craig's body is made for action movies not a womanizer, alcoholic and patriotic spy.
FUN. That's what's missing. The brosnan era specifically mixed the danger with outrageous and fun spectacle. James was cheeky though it all. You knew the stakes but it didn't all have to feel one note
This is my favorite James Bond film beside Die Another Day, License to kill, and the Spy who loved Me. Also Goldfinger was great too. Pierce Bronson and Timothy Dalton is my two James Bond.
For 3 and a half minutes, this scene does so much. The details, the dialog, the facial expressions and the action are absolute perfection. This scene sums up Pierce Brosnan's Bond movies from the 90's perfectly. I was 9 when it came out. I remember seeing it at the theater and being blown away by it along with my father. Just when we thought that was it for the intro, it continues and turns into the amazing boat chase. I feel the beginning of this movie picks up perfectly from the flow and feel where Tomorrow Never Dies left off.
1:42 This cold stare... I know that's questionable if TWINE is Brosnan's best film (I think it is), but it's definitely his best Bond Performance, hands down.
@@redlightmax Yea... I forgot about Tomorrow Never Dies, it's one of my favorite Bond movies. TND alongside TWINE are the most underrated Bond movies. I don't know why but when most of people thinking about Brosnan Bond, they either thinking about his first movie (Goldeneye) or his last movie (Die Another Day) but they hardly think about TND (which has first car chase in Brosnan era) or TWINE, I really don't understand why?
1:44 that manager had his desk explode, assistant shot to death, other assistant beat up, gets a gun held to his head and life threatened, does not drop his cigar 😎
2:59 I never noticed this before, but here Bond is securing the string under the heater to prevent the guy from falling down. This shows how Bond does not kill if it’s not really necessary
What I like about Brosnan’s performance is that he fully convinces you he won’t hesitate to kill you when he has to. He means business when he counts to three - there is a seriousness in his face that tells you Bond is not bluffing, Bond is no one to mess with, Bond is dangerous and he WILL kill you at the count of three unless you tell him what he wants to know. He has a true killer’s instinct and this means he is not only capable of killing without hesitation, he may even derive a perverse pleasure from doing it, because the thrill of the kill is inherent in all predators. Yes, this is the dark side of Bond, the heart of the predator inside him, but it’s what makes him such an effective interrogator and such a great double O agent.
If you search for an episode of a UK TV series called 'The Professionals - Blood Sports', Brosnan plays a minor character in a surveillance van. Filmed in 1980 😊 Which ironically, he is sitting next to a man who auditioned for Bond in 1983 to take over from Roger Moore but was unsuccessful, goes by the name of Lewis Collins (sadly died in 2013). And the banker is Patrick Malahide, he played a not too bright detective in another classic British TV drama called Minder, as Sergeant Chisholm 😅
3:15 I van just see Bond thinking "Shit, did I misjudged how long this pull-cord was? Wait, no, of course, he must have grabbed the table leg. HEY *TUGS CORD. LET GO!"
Bald guy - Looking at our present situation and strictly as a banker I would have to say that the numbers are not on your side Bond - Perhaps you failed to take into account my hidden assets Hell yeah 💯
I saw this for the first time on TV and it was so badly censored. It was so unclear what happened to the banker, the BBC cut the scene down to Bond threatening the Banker a little then he just flops onto Bond for a second and then Bond is immediately running to the doorway. I was too young to understand that it was censored and was just so confused. They should have left it in, it wasn't that violent. When I saw the thumbnail I thought "Wait, I don't remember anyone being stabbed in the neck in the Brosnan's films! Is this a deleted scene?"
@@ivanivez7456 Yeah u are right, all the Bond's up until Brosnan had chest hair and low mustcle tone. Craig's body is made for action movies not a womanizer, alcoholic and patriotic spy.
I remember playing this on playstation i think. it was the only game that followed a movie so closely that you actually had to equip the money case and smash the window out with it just like the movie.
It's official, the government has the capability to enter into my brain and find out what I'm thinking. I was thinking about this movie today and how I need to watch it again, since it's the best Brosnan bond behind Goldeneye and never mentioned it or searched any clips. This was at the top of my feed!

Next Bond movies need to go back to the episodic format, maybe has some light connection to the previous movie. (such as Blofeld and Spectre in Connery era movies)
"Classic James Bond" is actually Dalton and Craig. I like the films of the other actors but James Bond didn't start with the Connery films.
One of the things I like best about Brosnan as Bond is he has a look in his eye that he's actually a killer 1:42 is what I mean
God I miss this style of Bond so much since the Craig days
Craig really outstayed his welcome and spoiled Bond with all his political BS
HEAT SEEKER I have no beef against Craig/his acting - I think he played a new style of Bond well. But I dont particularly enjoy the way Bond has been written since the Craig reboot
Pierce was the perfect blend of serious and funny
Coconut Head and cool-ness
Agreed, Craig's films (besides Skyfall) just felt like generic action films as opposed to Bond Films
I used to find this bond film a bit frustrating in terms of plot, but in retrospect i see it as one of the more intricate ones. You think it's about something, but not all is as it seems. And then at the right moment, it flips things on it's head and you're taken for a loop.
I definitely think this film manages to pull off its twists better than most of the other films in the franchise - especially its biggest twist.
Pierce and Dalton played Bond closest to the source material, Bond was not some nonchalant emotionless man like how Daniel Craig played him but a man who was human and expressed emotion like anger and sadness.
Craig expressed plenty of emotion in his movies, especially in Casino Royale and Skyfall. Skyfall is probably Craig's most Fleming-esque, as he captures the Literary Bond's cynicism. I wish Brosnan had gotten a film as strong as Casino Royale.
Dalton is my all time favourite, absolutely. He was dark, gritty, dangerous and stylish. Very believable. But I like Brosnan too. I think the style of Bond movies ended with Brosnan. Craig's movies are good action movies but there is no the style and heart of Bond movies anymore. Something is just missing
Yeah u are right, all the Bond's up until Brosnan had chest hair and low mustcle tone. Craig's body is made for action movies not a womanizer, alcoholic and patriotic spy.
Craigs bond is more Jason Bourne than Bond. I only liked Casino Royale. The others are really bad IMO
@@josend Agreed!
FUN. That's what's missing. The brosnan era specifically mixed the danger with outrageous and fun spectacle. James was cheeky though it all. You knew the stakes but it didn't all have to feel one note
I think the glasses/gun bomb is actually a really cool gadget
It was cool in the video game too!
@@JohnnyBeane Is there any 007 video game?

Brilliant.. Brosnan is the genuine Bond.
Yep
My favourite JB movie. Excellent script.
I was there during the filming.My hometown Bilbao
Brosnan was one of the best Bonds ever
I don’t care what anyone says Pierce Brosnan was a great Bond and his movies weren’t that bad, you people are just too harsh on the guy
This is my favorite James Bond film beside Die Another Day, License to kill, and the Spy who loved Me. Also Goldfinger was great too. Pierce Bronson and Timothy Dalton is my two James Bond.
Props to the owners of JB for putting these clips up, bring back so many great memories
For 3 and a half minutes, this scene does so much. The details, the dialog, the facial expressions and the action are absolute perfection. This scene sums up Pierce Brosnan's Bond movies from the 90's perfectly. I was 9 when it came out. I remember seeing it at the theater and being blown away by it along with my father. Just when we thought that was it for the intro, it continues and turns into the amazing boat chase. I feel the beginning of this movie picks up perfectly from the flow and feel where Tomorrow Never Dies left off.
“Do you want to check my figures?”
“Oh, I’m sure they’re perfectly rounded!”
1:42 This cold stare... I know that's questionable if TWINE is Brosnan's best film (I think it is), but it's definitely his best Bond Performance, hands down.
Goldeneye is better in just about every way, but yeah I'll give you that TWINE is probably Brosnan's best performance as Bond
TWINE = Brosnan at his best, the highest point of Brosnan era Bond.
He is a punk ass in this film.
Brosnan's performance in Tomorrow Never Dies was cold enough for me.
"Wait! I'm just a professional doing a job."
"Me too."
@@redlightmax Yea... I forgot about Tomorrow Never Dies, it's one of my favorite Bond movies. TND alongside TWINE are the most underrated Bond movies.
I don't know why but when most of people thinking about Brosnan Bond, they either thinking about his first movie (Goldeneye) or his last movie (Die Another Day) but they hardly think about TND (which has first car chase in Brosnan era) or TWINE, I really don't understand why?
1:44 that manager had his desk explode, assistant shot to death, other assistant beat up, gets a gun held to his head and life threatened,
does not drop his cigar 😎
that's his hidden assets ... he just didn't get to use it :P
1:46 "You seem to have had a small reversal of fortune". Some burn that is :)
2:59 I never noticed this before, but here Bond is securing the string under the heater to prevent the guy from falling down.
This shows how Bond does not kill if it’s not really necessary
Because if the guy falls down Bond also falls..
@@NEC234 no he wouldn’t fall
@Auto Bot 로저무어
actually he does this to control the rate of descent
lol I love how the guy is still holding his cigar when Bond yanks him up off the floor! 😆
0:58 "Terrible tragedy!"
Subtitles: "hi Bert, hi Judy!"
I love the OST here. 2:45 is also the perfect queue for the Bond move and how it builds up.
What I like about Brosnan’s performance is that he fully convinces you he won’t hesitate to kill you when he has to. He means business when he counts to three - there is a seriousness in his face that tells you Bond is not bluffing, Bond is no one to mess with, Bond is dangerous and he WILL kill you at the count of three unless you tell him what he wants to know. He has a true killer’s instinct and this means he is not only capable of killing without hesitation, he may even derive a perverse pleasure from doing it, because the thrill of the kill is inherent in all predators. Yes, this is the dark side of Bond, the heart of the predator inside him, but it’s what makes him such an effective interrogator and such a great double O agent.
If you search for an episode of a UK TV series called 'The Professionals - Blood Sports', Brosnan plays a minor character in a surveillance van. Filmed in 1980 😊
Which ironically, he is sitting next to a man who auditioned for Bond in 1983 to take over from Roger Moore but was unsuccessful, goes by the name of Lewis Collins (sadly died in 2013).
And the banker is Patrick Malahide, he played a not too bright detective in another classic British TV drama called Minder, as Sergeant Chisholm 😅
Excellent movie 🎥 Brosnan always 1st class as usual
Cinematography and sound editing especially gun effect was best and perfect
To me this is the true Bond.
Agreed 100%
3:10 The soundtrack name “Bond Has Left The Building” fits so well with this scene.
3:15
I van just see Bond thinking "Shit, did I misjudged how long this pull-cord was? Wait, no, of course, he must have grabbed the table leg. HEY *TUGS CORD. LET GO!"
The World is Not Enough is actually pretty good.
Bald guy - Looking at our present situation and strictly as a banker I would have to say that the numbers are not on your side
Bond - Perhaps you failed to take into account my hidden assets
Hell yeah 💯
If it was my bank, that bank guy would have walked out in the middle of the conversation because it was nearing lunch time
Best scene in the movie and one of the best ever from a James Bond film!
I saw this for the first time on TV and it was so badly censored. It was so unclear what happened to the banker, the BBC cut the scene down to Bond threatening the Banker a little then he just flops onto Bond for a second and then Bond is immediately running to the doorway. I was too young to understand that it was censored and was just so confused. They should have left it in, it wasn't that violent. When I saw the thumbnail I thought "Wait, I don't remember anyone being stabbed in the neck in the Brosnan's films! Is this a deleted scene?"
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 TV edits are the worst, let’s take a 14 and turn it into a 10
As far as I'm aware BBC have never shown this film - ITV have had the rights to the Bond films for many years.
Brosnans best bond movie and one of my personal favs
I loved Brosnan's Bond :)
Brosnan was the best modern Bond. Some people prefer Craig but he’s too Jason Bourne for me. This is Bond.
Agreed 100%
The fact that Craig's interpretation of Bond was taken into serious consideration alone makes me puke.
@@rayunited2010foryou dude has some serious d riders lol
@@Thatguy55595 meaning?
0:44 If the Handling Fees are 3000 pounds and the Expenses are 5000 pounds, why are the debits only 6000 instead of 8000?
2:46 That's my Bond!
Brosnan is brilliant here just like goldeneye
The stunts in Bond films are on whole another level!
The final statement at 0:44 has a date (15th November 1999). 1999 was the year the film was produced and released. Good reference.
1:42 that "don't mess with me" look.
Great scene!
Great scene yeah
@@edunitianmanab2836 yup
It is so funny when he says, "Well. Better late than never"😂😂
He was 200% better than craig! I miss Brosnan's era!
I agree. The Daniel Craig era feels more like Jason Bourne than the James Bond we know and love
@@ivanivez7456 I agree with you!
@@ivanivez7456 Yeah u are right, all the Bond's up until Brosnan had chest hair and low mustcle tone. Craig's body is made for action movies not a womanizer, alcoholic and patriotic spy.
This is the bond that introduced me to James Bond
1:43 cold as ice.
Wrapping a thin cord around one’s waist and then using it to break a fall is an excellent way to break one’s back.
1:45 he’s still holding onto his cigar; now that’s a serious cigar connoisseur
why all bond movie clips are so low in sound?
Its funny how that thick wooden table leg comes off and the little bit he ties it too on his trousers stays in tact
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 that’s a Spanish table not something from JCPenney
1:34
Who here thinks that sounds like Sean Connery
Now that you mention it, yeah, uncanny resemblance
Yeah, Brosnan's accent is usually all over the place 😂😂
@@sonnykingcomposer haha later on in MI6 he's like, 'Staaaahhhp!'
That was pierce brosnan’s little tribute to Sean Connery.
"Who here thinks that sounds like Sean Connery"
If you do, THEN MAYBE YOU SHOULDN'T BE LIVING HEEEEEEERE.
Pierce Brosnan old bond movies are so good to watch
The last second was the essence of Bondism. Yes I jumped of a building and nearly died, but I’ll give you the gentleman’s head nod
Never seen this but Bond seemed liked a total mob boss in this scene, so cool
Pierce was bond and yes he was a boss
@@Thatguy55595 The Best
I remember playing this on playstation i think. it was the only game that followed a movie so closely that you actually had to equip the money case and smash the window out with it just like the movie.
You do it in n64 too but you don’t jump out the window
At 1:03 loved how Brosnan nicely called him a crook.
Never underestimate a man with "hidden talents." ( *wink* )
There's something about the Bond movies after Goldeneye that make them more idk TV sitcom-ish, Goldeneye was amazing
The greatest Bond actor of all time❤
This is probably the only time I've ever seen someone operate and handle an m1911 correctly in a movie.
0:35 to 0:45
"Would you like to check my figures?"
"Oh, I'm sure they're perfectly rounded."
Perfect line there would be, "excuse me,the elevator wasn't working"
Bond is english/scottish, so it would be "excuse me, the lift wasnt working"
It's official, the government has the capability to enter into my brain and find out what I'm thinking. I was thinking about this movie today and how I need to watch it again, since it's the best Brosnan bond behind Goldeneye and never mentioned it or searched any clips. This was at the top of my feed!
