QUANTUM OF SOLACE | Bond is chased around Lake Garda
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 сен 2024
- James Bond (Daniel Craig) attempts to lose his pursuers in the opening car chase sequence from QUANTUM OF SOLACE (2008) on the roads around Lake Garda. Stunt coordinator Gary Powell said: “It wasn’t the size of the car, or the amount of cars that made it complicated. It was the locations. We were in a very long tunnel, only 28 feet wide. When there are 40 cars going through it, at the speeds we were doing, it becomes a technical challenge.”
I remember being skeptical when Daniel Craig was chosen as the new Bond, but he's portrayed the character's tough vulnerability perfectly
he was the last 007 Bond....now we get SJW Bond
@@tommcd8471 do we though?
Tom McD you confident about that?
Yes, well said.
@@tommcd8471 Possibly...
I see MI6 equipped him new balls after the incident in Casino Royal.
🤣
He had a little itch
Vesper licked his wounds well... Let's put it this way
@@notundermywatch3163 Perv... ;-)
special package from Q branch...oh wait wrong movie
I love how realistic that crash at 2:50 was... no stupid explosions
Real cars, real crashes. Notice how the Alfa's engine revs freely just before it impacts the ground. Good sound editing there.
Yeah I was surprised they didn't cut away after one millisecond. Grats on the director not being a mong for a change.
You can even see the airbags being deployed
They unfortunately lost the stuntman in that crash, probably why they held on to the shot for slightly longer than the other shots in this scene.
Remember 007, that you have a license to kill, not to break the traffic laws.
He has license to kill laws
There ARE limits
@@matthewdavidjarvis6039 Good
Musik
He’s an agent like in the matrix. laws? 😂
This was my first ever James Bond movie I saw in theaters as a kid in 2008... and man it still is one of my favorite scenes of the entire franchise (maybe except No Time to Die)
JMW!
The chase itself looks exciting on its own, it didn't need the overdone editing.
But this is still an intense opening.
Agree with that
I think the editing is pretty cool. It feels realistic. If it was slower, the chase wouldn't feel so dangerous.
They should have put a warning at the start of the scene so epileptics don't watch it.
@@za7004 It's not just a matter of speed, it's a matter of coverage and shot choices. You can't tell what's going on half the time, and that destroys any ability to appreciate the sequence of events. In the human realm, an event has far greater potential to be exciting to an audience than a mere isolated sensation. (Hah, oh, it's you again. No wonder we have such differing views of the movie.)
THey edited like that because he was being shot at with no door and was obviously impossible not being hit. So they show him for a frame and switched cameras and so on. They were hiding the fact he was being shot on his own face all the time.
For sale:
Aston Martin
Low mileage
Only driven on sunny sundays
No scratches in the door
Clarkson: "Well ventilated."
Hammond: "It had no door on it!"
Dad : Aston Martin is a luxurious car, not an off-road hunter.
James Bond: hold my car door 😂
Astonmartin dbx: am i a joke to you?
hahahahaha
Best Bond car of the modern era
100% agree
In the next movie, 007 should consider the DB11 : even if it has technology from Mercedes Benz!.
Anthony Lewis he has the DBS and a new very fancy car
@@eoghanlacey6384 : The DB11 looks fantastic!.
Anthony Lewis I sort of agree with you , I love the front but the back is a bit of a let down for me same for the new dbs but in the new movie he has a db5 amazing , v8 vantage amazing , valkyrie amazing and of course the dbs which is nice
It's incredible that Mr White survived the chase whilst in the trunk all that time.....
I was looking for this comment
In all likelihood, the vehicle would have been equipped with a bulletproof exterior, or at least this was the case in theory. Otherwise, the vehicle would have been reduced to swiss cheese with the amount of gunfire it took.
He gets out from the car and then throws up immediately.
Also lake garda to Siena is 350 km
Hes still injured with cuts and bruises when Bond opens the boot after this scene.
Honestly a much more exciting chase compared to the one in Spectre, but let down by too many fast cuts
the spectre chase is miles better bruh
Still one of the best opening scenes for a Bond film
This Chase is so unbelievably perfect. I don’t know what the hell this thing in Spectre was. We need this car chases again.
Forget the editing. This scene kicks ass
Damn straight it does. Best opening scene in a Bond film
The editing it´s supreme !!!
David Arnold's score is fantastic.
Exactly. His score for this movie was really superb. He has traveled from execrable Barry pastiches to his surprising and excellent work in CR, then here he fully took ownership of the mantle, creating an original sound with exciting new variations on old motifs and fantastic new material that translated the Bond feel into the modern era with tremendous energy, variety and style. It is a great loss that he was taken off the project. Although lord knows what he would have been made to do for the recent movies. Shame this movie didn't live up to the score, its many excellent ideas were somehow shattered into a mess.
@@AndSendMe I wouldn't call Quantum of Solace a mess by any means. I think it is a really competent, sober and realistic Bond film. I think you are just buying too much to other people's opinions about this movie. Sure it could have been better. But there isnt anything wrong with the movie as it is. There are far worse Bond films that are regarded as great by most critics. It is just bias. I enjoy QOS every time I watch it. It is as close to the Bond novels and the Bond character from them, as it is possible in a film. Take my advice - form your own opinion - don't be a guilable ship influnced by other people's thoughts about stuff.
@@za7004 Thanks for your thoughtful comments. Your concerns about the second-handedness of my opinions are misplaced though--any errors are my own doing. I appreciate your comments about the film's virtues though. I was very disappointed in the editing of some of the action sequences and the third act was quite flat for me. These and other problems to do with tone gave me a strong sense of squandered opportunity because of the movie's fantastic visual style and the many great ideas for set pieces, especially early in the movie. I admit these problems may well have colored my judgment of the overall cohesion of the movie. I will enjoy having another look at it to see if I failed to give it proper credit.
@@za7004 so THAT'S why I love this film! Thank you! You've put my thoughts and feelings about this film into words! I certainly wish the producers had stuck with the feeling of this film, instead of falling back on old tropes and references :(.
Craig's first two films, Dalton's two films and OHMSS are arguably the only Bond films to upend the Bond formula to a highly noticeable degree since Goldfinger, and in my opinion they work extremely well for doing so.
@@za7004 Casino Royale and Quantum work together as an excellent pair, even if the directing styles are different. The later movies had a convoluted plot line that had me scratching my head. Bond having daddy issues? Come on.
Let's be real, whatever you think of Quantum Of Solace, this is still one of the best Car Chase sequences in the entire series.
(And without needing any Gadgets either!)
T he action scenes were great ,the over all film was average.
Personally I think the spectre rome car chase is much better than this. This is just hard to follow at times, editing is too fast, but to each their own.
@@Harry-bp2dl The car chase in Rome was so smooth and calm it barely looked like a pursuit to me. Still a great scene though.
@@Harry-bp2dl chase in Rome was slow, boring and more about showing gadgets, it felt unrealistic. This one seems credible and violent
Pip gadgets
One of the best openings of a Bond film. Just so awesome
It's perfect.
This opening still gives me chills.
too bad the movie is a plained waste, just perfect the storyline
Ever since I was kid when I first saw this back in 2008 I've always wanted Craig Bond's Aston Martin, what a beast of car.
for me, it was Miami Vice's Ferrari Daytona. i cut the top off a few Datsun 280Z models to try to replicate it :)
"When the quantum of solace drops to zero, humanity and consideration of one human for another is gone". -Ian Fleming
James Bond - i survived all those nuisance with no gadgets and bulletproof glass
Mr White - are you sure about that, i am the real survivor in the trunk 😂😂
Still the best the best badass intro ever. That Aston Martin dbs roaring😮
Big fan of James bond especially in the Daniel Craig sequals fell in love with these 007 series. The hype of this series is gonna be once in a lifetime experience
Love from India 🇮🇳
Don't understand the hate this movie gets. I love it. This opening sequence on a good home theater setup sounds so good👍👍👍👍 I think I'm going watch it again now after seeing this.
So, how exactly did he manage the four-hour drive from the Italian lakes to Siena, in an Aston Martin with one door, covered in bullet holes, that had just been involved in a police chase in which two carabinieri were killed?
And while we're on the subject, how did he manage to change into a new suit between the end of Casino Royale and the beginning of Quantum of Solace?
Really thick plot armor
It’s movie dude.
If you like to question everything, try Avengers’
A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do.
the names bond,james bond..
The fast cuts are my favorite part of the movie. Puts you right in their shoes as if you were Bond having to make these split second observations and decisions. Its masterful editing is only meant for those that 'know'
but most people didntliked this bcause this very reason
Fully agree, it's intense, as the viewer you hold your breath like that man trying to save his life
precisely, it's people complaining without knowing how they would make it better. if you were blasting full bore in an Aston Martin being machine-gunned it probably wouldn't be very sedate and easy to comprehend - I honestly don't see how they could've made this better
Could you sound anymore pretentious? “Know”? Please.
They do and they could’ve.
it's hard to follow up Casino Royale. that was almost a perfect Bond film to open with. but i still enjoyed watching QoS and still do. it has some great action scenes
Yeah, Casino Royale from start to finish was so damn well done! Quantum of Solace is my least favorite out of all of Daniel Craig's 007 movies.
@@Th3W4tchman Spectre is my least favorite of Craig's. i have CR, skyfall, qos, spectre.
@@Cubsfan122112 Spectre would be my least fave. But, what made it enjoyable was the cinematography (that opening scene though) and the villian is somewhat better than the one in QoS. Of course, what can't go unnoticed is the CGI during that plane sequence in Spectre.
For me, least to greatest: QoS, Spectre, Skyfall, and then CR
@eating sugar no papa Now forgive me if I don't correctly remember the setting of the scene, but it was taken all in one shot during the Day of the Dead holiday. And sure there was a silly moment with the sofa saving Bond from getting messed up. But, the helicopter scene was awesome and to add to the cake that was all real and no CGI. I thought it was pretty cool.
@@Th3W4tchman the plane sequence wasn't cgi
Ever since I saw the Aston Martin DBS in Casino Royale and this QoS movie, it's been my favourite car !
DB9, DB11, Vanquish, Vantage, etc are all nice.....but this DBS has charisma, that stance, that appeal. Amazing car!
I grew up watching Miami Vice on TV, so my dream car was the Ferrari Daytona--did a few models in black with a blue pearl paint over it to get the glow.
Say what you will about QoS: this car chase scene was one of the best in the franchise.
This is one of the best Bond film opening sequences.
This movie and this scene could of been fantastic if it didn't have such atrocious editing... I can't even focus on 90% of this scene because they keep switching from frame to frame in 1/10th of a second.
I've only seen it once but I remember every damn fight scene was the most action packed epic scene in existence to the point I was exhausted from watching. Didn't care for it.
Haha except for that one time he punched a black dude. One punch and he was out. I was like, Really?? All the other scenes were the most insane fist fights ever. Not this one. So dumb. Hahaha
WHERE ARE THE COG LEADERS ON EMBASSY ROW IN WASHINGTON DC? DO NO HARM FIGHT BACK SWAT TEAM AND FIGHT RUSSIA
That's okay, Corey. I have watched the movie without you several times and always enjoyed it tremendously.
Drvcx
As a car boot passenger, Mr White probably had to change his pants after Mr Brown came out
This comment should be pinned
I can already hear Q. 007, You returned the vehicle in the usual condition, but why does the boot smell like shit???
That Aston has aged so well in its design. It's been my dream car ever since I watched this scene and Casino Royale
There's a reason for this style of editing. Forster talked about it in many interviews. First it set the pace; second, it's supposed to be a bit disturbing so the spectator has to focus and think a bit to understand so it put you in an active watching instead of just pasively looking some long slow-mo shots like in superhero movies
It also is against Bond style, it's more difficult to shoot action squences without jump cuts, also it mimics Jason Bourne movies. Casino Royale didn't have this style of editing, nor Spectre. This was some trend in 2000's so they tried to implement that.
QoS is the only Craig Bond film to have quick cuts and editing for their action sequences, and barely anyone remembers this movie for the action. Casino Royale, Skyfall and No Time to Die (which is by far the best in terms of action IMO) are all praised for their action sequences.
Poor excuses.
If you have to explain or give excuses, the intent isn't properly communicated, so it fails.
Look up the fantastic ''Stuntmen React'' videos from Corridor Digital, they often have actual stuntmen or action directors, and the ''science'' of the action scene is fascinating.
They 100% could've made those scenes much better and with the same intent, without all those ridiculous cuts.
If you can't figure out or have time to process what's going on _at all_ - you cannot enjoy the content, even if it is meant to be disorienting. Can't be disoriented if you see nothing at all!
@@ProtoMarcus I have no idea what you're talking about - the scene is incredible and makes complete sense to me, it's perfect.
@@tsunchoo If you feel this scene is perfect, imagine what it could've been with proper editing
Underrated Bond opening sequence
This scene are history no one will beat. Camera man, Director and Daniel are great because Camera, Audio, Vehicle are nice and perfectly sync, no one will hate this scene, another good scene in bond movie, we are waiting for NO TIME TO DIE.💙💙💙
If the editing wasn't quite chaotic, this would've been a really good sequence.
Totally agree with you.
I don't agree. Editing is pretty cool.
It needs to be chaotic. Otherwise it's not fun.
There are lots of things wrong with this movie, but whoever decided to have it open in medias res in the middle of a car chase and then executed it like was deserves tons of praise. Also the music is phenomenal.
would be interesting to see the "non-director's cut" one day......................!
👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍!.
Big up to the Alfa 159 ! 👍
that's one hell of an art..... beautiful editing and sound designing.
Terrible scene from one of the worst bond movies. This could have bern so mich better. Glad this director didnt get to do another. Sound design is great though
Beautiful editing? Lmao
The editing is perfect, top notch... Disregard these wackos they know nothing about films anyway
When QoS was released on Bluray, everytime i went to Best Buy I stopped by the Magnolia home theater room and had them play the opening on their high end sound system. Creamed my jeans every time that Aston Martin roared at the beginning.
Such a beautiful shot that opening is, from the lake onto the cliffs and mountains of the absolutely stunning Lombardy region of Italy... With better editing it could have been one of the best openings to a Bond film
The only great part of the movie in my opinion but then again ruined by fast editing. Each cut takes less than 2 seconds.
Exactly!! I was thinking the same thing.
Honestly, I don’t know why everyone hates A Quantum of Solace. It’s still one of my favourite Bond movies
@@dng1576 did you read the OP's comment? The editing is atrocious. Not to mention the actual nonexistent plot..
D!ng probably the worst bond movie in my opinion, I walked out of the cinema unbelievably disappointed, but it’s subjective at the end of the day, it would appear quantum of solace is to Bond movies as The last Jedi is to Star Wars, it’s either the worst or one of the best as far as opinions go, I hated both 😂
@@paulfea Eh, I see why you would think that this is a good comparison, but no. TLJ is beautifully shot and edited, unlike Quantum which is absolutely butchered editing. Add to that, TLJ has a good overall story with all several arcs that thread and weave together into a epic climax with career-best performances by Hamill and Fisher. Quantum's story is dull with uninteresting villains that aren't memorable. If anything TLJ is better compared to Casino Royale.
This opening scene is pure adrenaline....The Alfa 3.2 pitted against the Aston V12....those stunt drivers got injured pretty bad....hardly surprising when a skip truck hits you at full pelt .....the quarry chase....and then the Alfa rams Bond ..... absolutely fantastic...edge of your seat stuff..utterly believable.....Well done Bond producers,editors, Daniel Craig and stuntmen.you can even own a piece of Bond history if you sniff out the Alfa limited edition Bond edition too...only 250 made...
Ace scene & ace Bond Film! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
"It's time to get in"... basically everybody in the theatre laughed, when Bond took Mr. White out of the trunk after this chase! :D
Critics say that Quantum was one of the worst Bond films. Perhaps, but it still had one of the best opening scenes.
Quantum of Solace is very underrated. Just need better the editing in action scenes
What an opening scene. Whenever people shit on QoS I think of this tour de force car chase.
Best scene 007 EVER!!! Best Bond, EVER!!!
This is the best Bond movie opening scene in my opinion.
La meilleure course-poursuite la plus incroyable que Daniel Craig a pu faire en étant James Bond🔥🔥☝🏽👍🏽
The mighty Aston Martin DBS V12.... even minus a door it still handles business! The one in "Casino Royale" didn't see much action ( save for the record-breaking barrel-roll), but this one made up for it with some great on-road combat.
Can you imagine if you went back in time to the Connery era and show this scene to somebody and told them this is the future of James Bond? They would lose their shit xD
this chase scene is so good, that is a short movie before the movie. and the aston martin dbs 2008 manual...is perfection. the music...that intro¡¡¡¡ is soooo good
Greatest opening of the entire saga 💯
The most intense tofu delivery ever..
159 in hot pursuit with a DBS? Still baffles tf outta me, ace opening nevertheless ✊🏻
159 Q4 might at least make a small challenge but the traffic was the real obstacle for Bond, obviously
That sound from Aston Martin DBS engine is biblical!.
Quantum of Solace is one of the best edited Film, I dont know why it doesn't get much appreciated.
First fully learn English then comment.
The opening car chase sequence is thrilling.
1:27 to 1:32 Best cinema artistic, Italian style for a car commercial 🔥
Maybe overall this movie's action scenes were too cut but I still think it works really well for this opening. Always found it very dynamic
Don't care what people say I've always loved this scene!
Some folks are easily pleased.
@@Hithere-ek4qt Yep, some are 😁
@@Hithere-ek4qt And some are never, yet they're pleased with bogus shit movies like Casino Royale
Western "Gardesana" road in the beginning of the scene and then "Strada della Forra", one of the most beautiful scenic roads in the World , nearby where I live, it was referred by Winston Churchill as the height wonder of the world.
Stunning but dangerous roads, during the shooting, the marvelous Bond's Aston Martin DBS was wrecked after plunging into the lake.
At the beginning of the scene, one sees Eastern "Gardesana," not Western. I know this because I drive that road almost daily.
If this was a Final Destination movie, that metal piece at 0:43 would have killed Bond for sure!😂
Optimistic of an Alfa 159 to keep pace with the AM XD
Could have been the best Bond car chase ever, if it wasn't for the overly choppy, frantic editing.
This car chase is far better than Spectre Rome car chase.
Who else watching these clips right before heading to the final 007 tonight
Was watching this on my TV on dvd as you uploaded it
Dvd? You should upgrade to bluray. A better experience!
@@imranbecks Nah. Dvd is the best.
Oh-My-Aston... 🌟 Happy New Year. A magnificent 2022 to everyone.
I just love this entire chase scene. Exceptionally done.
As an Italian: yeah our cops would totally do that.
1:12 2:47 - Bond Never Dies
Best car chase in Daniel Craig era
(2006-2021)
One of the best opening scenes of a bond movie and one of the best car chases in my opinion. What do y’all think?
It’s great but it’s ruined by the editing
I remember well whey they filmed the lake Garda part back in april 2008; I live few miles north of those roads/tunnels.
I know personally the guy/extra who play the carabiniere :-)
Hi, I am doing research on the filming of this sequence, can we get in touch ? Many thanks.
When Bond returns the car to Headquarters, Q is gonna have a cow!
Q didn't even exist yet in this continuity. Also, I think this is a new Aston Martin than in the last movie.
This kind of shaky camera work and editing was really hard to follow in the big screen. Most of the time I did not understand who was shooting who and where each person was is respect to one another. Looks ok on TV or mobile device.
Many years ago, long before this movie was made, I visited the Lake Garda region in Italy and during that visit, I took a busride along the same road along the shores of Lake Garda shown in this scene. It would be COMPLETELY IMPOSSIBLE to do a car chase like this on that road, there are too many curves too narrow to be able to drive at the shown velocities. But, due to movie magic, I still totally "believed" this scene when watching the movie for the first time, instead of laughing my ass off, like I did when rewatching it later.
Well, the stuntman crashed into the lake, so yes it's impossible. But the most impossible thing is turn at a road cross near to Garda lake and jump in a marble cave in Carrara (300 km southwest of Garda Lake)
0:25 Daniel Craig Has Engage In FAST & FURIOUS.
2:49 I guess he's on the way to the funeral
Magnifique cette séquence 🥰
Love this movie, don't know why ppl hate on it
Real Great sequence, with some of the best stunt choreography in any fipm, and shot very well. Just... The editing. Hopefully one day, we'd get a re-edit of this sequence. Also the music is 👌
Mr bond looks nice wearing his suit and tie even in a car chase
Inseguimento mozzafiato!!🤩🤩💣
Why they have to cut each scene so much ? I dont understand what is happening, these scenes makes me dizzy
Bond: "I didn't need the driver's side door anyway."
I love this Aston Martin DBS 😍
My favorite bond scene. The music was amazing
The best intro and BGM class 👌 👏 🙌
Those are some Michael Bay-level editing job. Car chase went from a tunnel to twisting road to construction site frame to frame. Not to mention that at the beginning of the car chase, the back windows were shot out but the last scene showed the back window were intact....
The more I watch this movie the more I realize this was the best Bond movie ever made.
Assume different director can have different type of directing style.. opening scene yes it was intense and exciting but the editing was bad. Kinda loved the first scene with seaview. Wow very nice 😍
best car chased on James Bond movies !!!
This scenes really good & only Mr Craig can drive his Aston Martin with less CGI & the stunt job really incredible. Aston Martin looked good almost 20 years bcs of Danieal Craig persona in his Bond movies..
Still one of the best opening scenes ever
Too many cuts. It's uncomfortable to watch. Maybe I'm old but I just get annoyed.
