Bond sets an excellent example for civic minded individuals everywhere in this sequence, as he widens a narrow alleyway so trucks can pass through, puts out a car fire by kindly moving it into the river, generously clears the roadway of a dangerous obstruction caused by the irresponsible driving of others and finally creates a striking impromptu piece of street art by relocating a statue. Bravo!
25 years ago, I thought "man, wouldn't that be awesome to do". 15 years ago, "man, this is going to make a great story for my future kids". You see folks, I was a tank driver. I've basically lived this scene.
Thank God he fixed his tie- he's out there representing Her Majesty after all! It's one thing to level half of St.Petersburg but quite another to do it improperly dressed.
Me too. My dad was pals with a beamer dealer,he gave my parents sneak peak passes. My dad worked late so i got his pass and went with my mom on a school night to see goldeneye. It was awesome.

When I was a young tank driver, an old man hit our tank, trying to pass us while we were coming back from training. Bent one part on the side of our tank. He had a hunk of metal on wheels. Twisted metal. Slamming into a tree after bouncing off of us is what stopped him. We hardly felt shit. Old man didn't have a scratch on him. Imagine what he told his insurance.
Metal tracks are not for paved surfaces they don't provide any grip even more so if they have grousers attached to the tracks they slide all over the place on paved surfaces.
All done with practical effects. Professional drivers making a tank drift in the streets, without CGI... I feel like we didn't appreciate this enough. ❤❤❤
Actually tanks dont have keys. I dont know about russian ones specifically, but British ones need a PIN code for power to come on IIRC, just to avoid scrambling for the keys in an emergency.
Craig and Campbell did not get on well and he's probably too old now. Come join my channel The James Bond Show with Krazy if you love all things 007 with a non politically correct balls Don't be wall approach and some good o'l Dink butt slapping fun 😁
@@thejamesbondshowwithkrazyk4581 "Craig and Campbell did not get on well" Although maybe Craig was being given something he needed, because Campbell brought out his best and most complex performance as Bond of all his movies. Campbell also did the same thing with Brosnan. If you watch any behind the scenes footage of him directing, he gives immense focus and energy to everything. He even screams "ACTION!!" like a drill sergeant. Both of his Bond movies are indeed two of the very best. Licence to Kill and Goldeneye are my joint top 2 of all time, and Casino Royale isn't far behind them, but I just felt it was slightly held back by some typical Purvis & Wade lame and cheesy elements and too bloated with forced in action sequences. Daniel Craig during the early scenes gambling in the Bahamas and seducing the crook's wife are, in my view, the most like James Bond that Craig has ever seemed. His later movies in particular he just became more and more dull, angry, brooding and robotic - even plain stiff and awkward in the role.
This was the first ever scene of James Bond I ever watched. Also,"Golden Eye" was my first Bond film. Pierce Brosnan will forever be the best and "real" James Bond to me
He said once he'll only ever direct a bond film if it's something different. Interestingly he directed GoldenEye and Casino Royale both titles completely refreshed the bond franchise each time. Both are awesome bond films both were Martin Campbell.

The funniest part of this scene for me is poor Ourumov's increasingly desperate drinking as the chase progresses. His expression is undeniably one of utter disbelief and indignant fury as he constantly looks out the back window at his pursuer, who somehow not only escaped what he must have assumed was certain death at the hands of the soldiers swarming the base, not only casually stole a goddamn tank from the parking lot on his way out, but also apparently knows how to drive the thing like an absolute Boss. Most people who even know how to drive a tank at all would probably end up plowing through civilians left and right in order to keep up with the unexpectedly swift driver who happens to be behind the wheel of his chosen getaway car, but Bond is outright styling on them by accomplishing this feat without so much as tarnishing his impeccable hair or his suit, let alone causing any more damage to the city than absolutely necessary or discernibly hurting anyone (the sole exception being the mistake* at 3:16.) From the viewer's perspective, this scene is a delicious action set piece. For Bond, it's little more than just another day on the job. For one Russian General, it's four minutes of his worst nightmare come to life and that flask of vodka is the only thing keeping him from serving himself a lead cocktail out of spite at the sheer absurdity of the situation. (*When I say mistake I mean from the director/editor's perspective. We know the director intended to show that nobody was crushed by the tank during the chase, so despite the previous shot unfortunately being contrary to that I'm gonna say the canon is that the driver survived somehow. Maybe he squeezed his way into the passenger side at the last moment and managed to dodge the tank's treads by the skin of his teeth. Maybe he's actually just magic? Idk, at the end of the day it's not important to the scene.)
This comment and the analysis contained therein are the reason I continue to enjoy RUclips as my preferred conduit for famous film scenes. If I was in Ourumov's boots in that situation I would also be chugging that flask like there was no tomorrow.
My three favorite parts of this iconic scene. 1-Bond using the tank to widen the ally 2-Everyone backing up down the road as Bond comes towards them. 3-The villain drinking from his flask more and more as they fail to lose Bond and the tank.
This is it, this is my favorite Bond scene from my childhood. When that tank came bursting through that wall, my 6-year-old mind exploded. It was, up until that point, the coolest thing I’d ever seen.
Russia actually has a history of extreme alcoholism that started with the first Tzars and they never managed to get truly rid off. It´s everywhere, from the normal labourer to military men and politicians. It´s one of the greatest proofs that alcohol, despite it´s acceptance by the vast majority of the human population, is destructive to both the consumers and the society they live in if it´s not kept in check.

I love how they strategically played the James Bond theme at this section of the movie. Let you know you're not just watching another Pierce Brosnan flick. You're watching "Bond...James Bond."
There was a certain amount of controversy about that. The rest of the score was by Eric Serra and sounded completely different - it was all breakbeats and samples - but the producers insisted there had to be at least one burst of the traditional Bond theme, so another composer was brought in to arrange it.
@@AshleyPomeroy GoldenEye has such a weird soundtrack ranging from fantastic to terrible throughout the film. I love the distinctive soft gong sound and the music during the final battle is very good. The rest is awful though such as that 70s porno style thing that plays during the Monte Carlo car chase and that awful song that hits for the closing credits. The lack of Bond theme is also quite noticeable. I think it only plays during this scene in the whole film and even then it does not crescendo - it just sort of teases and then fizzles out. Love GoldenEye though.
@@Chris-Weaver Big action sequences like this are usually storyboarded in advance by the director. When you're driving a tank through a building, you only get one opportunity to get the right shots.
@@ravecrab that particular building was part of the set. On error, _maybe_ they were having the capacity to do more takes, in contrast to keeping the budget… low, ofc! 😅
@@Chris-Weaver Well yes, obviously they weren't smashing up real buildings in St Petersburg. But every shot has to be very carefully blocked so it *looks* like the tank is ploughing through real buildings, and the spatial relationship between those prop building facades has to match the rest of the chase, so all the cuts make sense. It will all have been planned out very carefully in advance, so the director absolutely deserves credit.
@@ravecrab w/o the Director, it wouldn't be a… movie! I deeply know that s/he, along with the Editor, work together much of the time. But it's really helpful if the Editor has many such a good shot scenes beforehand, in possession.
And this is why Goldeneye is my favorite bond film. Sure, Brosnan isn't everyone's Bond, but this is the movie where videogame logic really takes mainstage. I mean come on, the tank even has the name of a videogame dev studio written on it. It's too perfect.
I like that part as it implies that he's not driven a tank before but he is so good that he's learning rapidly as he goes. Then he nails the next power slide
When I first saw this, I looked at Bond looking at the Tank and I was like "He is NOT thinking...." and then *BAM!* through the wall and I was like "OH MY GOD!!!" lol
That must have been quite a difficult shot to time, as the tank driver wouldn't have been able to see when the car had rounded the corner - leave it too late, and the car would be out of shot. Too early, and he'd have either driven over it or brought the wall down on it.
I love the section from 1:01 in the alley, Natalya has this grin on her face the entire way watching Bond smash through the building as if to say 'you beautiful mad bastard you, James!'
I think it's supposed to be a concerned grimace, as if to say "Jesus Christ, James. That was a one hundred year old building you just bulldozed. What exactly were planning on doing when you catch us? I think the PIT manoeuvre is a little out of the question."
@@rus0004 Good joke! Although even realistically speaking (as much as unrealistic this movie is), when there's not good option, the only good thing to do is to choose just anything that just might lead to unknown that might offer a better situation.
And imagine you guys, that all these were shot in an open studio in England, that was built, to resemble Saint Petersburg! Just look at the incredible job they did! I have been to Saint Petersburg before, and I can assure you, that it looks exactly the same! It's incredible what directors, and crew can achieve, if they really put their souls, backs, and will, into it!
I believe part was actually shot in st Petersburg. But the local government demanded more money, and they were held up by the Mafia who stole their cameras, and they decided to pack up filming, although you can still see at least some of the shots are from st Petersburg
How do you top that? Tomorrow Never Dies jet chase at the opening? The World Is Not Enough's Q-boat or paragliders? Maybe Die Another Day's hovercraft? I don't know.
This scene is by far my most favourite Bond scene of all time. Golden Eye was a masterpiece! An amazing action packed and well executed movie. Golden Eye and Casino Royale are my two most favourite Bond movies.
George Lazenby has been (rightly) rehabilitated, but Pierce Brosnan is the most underrated of all the Bonds. He had the looks, the style, the charisma and a sudden switch to a cold eyed lethality when he had to get medieval on some unfortunate goon. And in this tank chase he had one of the best Bond chases of all time. The only thing he didn’t have were credible scripts, especially in the last couple of his Bond films. But that’s fault of the writers and producers, not Brosnan.
He's not underrated at all. It's just that people always have preferences. I liked Timothy Dalton better than Brosnan, but I still like Pierce. Probably most people do but prefer another overall. I don't think he's underrated at all.
The world saw that.beautiful city and I'm grateful, despite the destruction, it looked stunning and made for spectacular and unusual car chase as only Bond films can do. I hope they paid for the damage though.
I believe that. The man is a walking embodiment of the Apocalypse. He once decimated an entire parish(county)in the state of Louisiana just to evade pursuit.
Everything about this scene is just so perfectly done! Not only did they manage to find a way to have the tank crash through 2 structures, they got Bond to drift in the damn thing!
I remember watching documentary about this movie... The drift was heavily provoked. It turned out that contrary to scriptwrither's imagination, the tank would turn like a sports car.
In report: "Dropped government issued car, favoring Russian-made larger vehicle. Pursuit in the tightest respect of the ROE in St Petersburg city streets. Complying with local authorities, driving regulations and with the lowest profile ever. Enjoying the mission overall. Wish to visit Russia more often (although Russian authorities may not agree with me). 007 out"
No matter how many stupid fast and furious movies come out, this is by far GREATEST HOLYWWOD car/tank chase ever. Steve McQueen's in Bullitt is second close.
Five seconds before the smash Ouromov is thinking that he will be able to quietly dispose of the only witness, his suspicious superior has been killed, and the plentiful troops will be able to capture/kill 007. In that moment, life was good. TANK SMASH! Life was no longer good.
At 1:48 had me laughing so hard seeing all the people on the street getting run over and launched in the air lol Has a huge grand theft auto feel to this scene
I watched this movie religiously as a kid, anytime a went over to my nans, i would watch this movie and eat my choco chip cookies with milk......fuck i miss being a kid sometimes
I think the exploding pen with Q is my favourite scene, but this is definitely the most badass in my opinion. You know the character of Bond is having the ultimate power rush driving a fuckin TANK to chase the baddies.
02:00 I love how the Cops chased the tank only to realize last second: "This is a Tank and we have a couple Trucks and 9mm handguns. What the hell are we supposed to do? *REVERSE REVERSE* "
@@rus0004 Correct! You're more towards in the flood of conversation than me! For exact, they are AKS-74s (5.45x39mm). I'm not his lawyer but, maybe Dennis Lim wanted to point out the low power of their weapons and.. not their type, at first glance. ✌🏼
Srk once said that there is something beyond acting and the craft itself It’s called the x-factor That’s what separates a superstar from an actor Certain films and characters are divinely written for certain men and women Legendary pierce brosnan🔥🔥🔥
This scene makes you completely forget we never actually got a regular car scene in the movie itself. It's *that* badass. ...And so badass, it didn't only stick to GoldenEye for the video games cause we got these in Agent Under Fire and TWICE in Everything or Nothing. ...Oh, and the line "I need you to track a Humvee through the streets of St. Petersburg. It's the one *being chased by a tank.* " from the game remake.
They didn't get the BMW in fast enough because BMW were dragging their ass. And since Bond must have a "car" chase, the tank in my opinion was 100% better.
Bond sets an excellent example for civic minded individuals everywhere in this sequence, as he widens a narrow alleyway so trucks can pass through, puts out a car fire by kindly moving it into the river, generously clears the roadway of a dangerous obstruction caused by the irresponsible driving of others and finally creates a striking impromptu piece of street art by relocating a statue. Bravo!
Don't forget that he halts at red at the end!
He even stops to allow the vehicles to reverse out of the way. (He still totals the cars, of course, but I don't think he killed anyone.)
You forgot to mention when he washed down the street with the Perrier water.
Your sarcasm put a grin on my face. Don't forget he went straight through a roundabout instead of around it. ;)
Something you can't expect from modern British (immigrants)

Bond's reaction at 0:22 is classic. Trying to drift a tank for the first time and instead of drifting, turns in the opposite direction.
I like that part as it implies that he's not driven a tank before but he is so good that he's learning rapidly as he goes.
Then he nails the next power slide
You can't get a better action scene than this one. A a kid this blew my brain how awesome it was,
By far one of the coolest scenes in James Bond history, Goldeneye is a legendary Bond masterpiece
When I first saw this scene I thought it was the coolest thing in films ever and made me think nobody will ever play Bond better than Brosnan.
When I first saw this, I looked at Bond looking at the Tank and I was like "He is NOT thinking...." and then *BAM!* through the wall and I was like "OH MY GOD!!!" lol
That must have been quite a difficult shot to time, as the tank driver wouldn't have been able to see when the car had rounded the corner - leave it too late, and the car would be out of shot. Too early, and he'd have either driven over it or brought the wall down on it.
@@RJSRdg ruclips.net/video/GSKjPka9mYI/видео.html Sure was tough!
He drifts in a tank, how is this not the greatest piece of cinema known to man
I love the section from 1:01 in the alley, Natalya has this grin on her face the entire way watching Bond smash through the building as if to say 'you beautiful mad bastard you, James!'
I think it's supposed to be a concerned grimace, as if to say "Jesus Christ, James. That was a one hundred year old building you just bulldozed. What exactly were planning on doing when you catch us? I think the PIT manoeuvre is a little out of the question."
@@rus0004 Good joke! Although even realistically speaking (as much as unrealistic this movie is), when there's not good option, the only good thing to do is to choose just anything that just might lead to unknown that might offer a better situation.
After 6 yrs of Bond’s absence, this was GREAT stuff. I remember I was laughing the whole time while Bond was destroying half the city with that tank.
Bloody legal issues robbing us of 2 bond films in 1991 and 1993!
Poor Saint-Petersburg😢 Poor Volga
You can't get more bond than this.
If this sequence had Licence Revoked as it's soundtrack it would have been awesome..... Just awesome.....
Why would you want that...
Man, Pierce Brosnan had it all!
The suave of Sean Connery
Roger Moore's sense of humor
And Timothy Dalton's ruthlessness.
The perfect 007.
I foresee a bright future, as a _Film Critic,_ here! 😎
@@Chris-Weaver Dude I love reviewing films oml how did u know?
@@joelbiju6868 From your very delicate.. word selection.
Now, if you're fond of caviar too, it's a Bond's-contagious!
Peace bro ✌🏼
When it shows just his eyes in shadow is so cool. Badass
And imagine you guys, that all these were shot in an open studio in England, that was built, to resemble Saint Petersburg! Just look at the incredible job they did! I have been to Saint Petersburg before, and I can assure you, that it looks exactly the same! It's incredible what directors, and crew can achieve, if they really put their souls, backs, and will, into it!
I believe part was actually shot in st Petersburg. But the local government demanded more money, and they were held up by the Mafia who stole their cameras, and they decided to pack up filming, although you can still see at least some of the shots are from st Petersburg
Part of it was actually shot in St. Petersburg.
And then the tank was used in a Red Dwarf episode!
The Tank chase was one of the best and most creative.
How do you top that? Tomorrow Never Dies jet chase at the opening? The World Is Not Enough's Q-boat or paragliders? Maybe Die Another Day's hovercraft? I don't know.
This scene is by far my most favourite Bond scene of all time. Golden Eye was a masterpiece! An amazing action packed and well executed movie.
Golden Eye and Casino Royale are my two most favourite Bond movies.
That tie-fixing at the end is the difference between Craig and Brosnan in a nutshell
Craig uses the wrist cuff tug!!
@@QuantumOfSolace1 less witty
Brosnan....Hands down no comparison✌
@@jaketrainer1040 damn right brother
Craig is more gritty Brosnan is just suave
Q: “Need I remind you 007 that you have a licence to kill, not to break the traffic laws?“
Bond: “I wouldn't think of it.”
Also Bond:
One of the best scenes in a Bond movie :)
Golden Eye is my favorite of Pierce Brosnan Bond films.
The adjusting of the tie just makes this scene.
The moment he breaks through the wall & the classic theme kicks in. Purely Epic.
One of my favorite scenes from a Bond movie. Thank you for posting
The game goldeneye for N64 is what got me into the whole james bond movies! This movie was awesome!
George Lazenby has been (rightly) rehabilitated, but Pierce Brosnan is the most underrated of all the Bonds.
He had the looks, the style, the charisma and a sudden switch to a cold eyed lethality when he had to get medieval on some unfortunate goon. And in this tank chase he had one of the best Bond chases of all time.
The only thing he didn’t have were credible scripts, especially in the last couple of his Bond films. But that’s fault of the writers and producers, not Brosnan.
He's not underrated at all. It's just that people always have preferences. I liked Timothy Dalton better than Brosnan, but I still like Pierce. Probably most people do but prefer another overall. I don't think he's underrated at all.
Its also one of the few times BOND does the chasing lol
@Randy White I respect everyone who played Bond because each one of them made it their own. But my faves are Connery and Brosnan
What’s wrong with The World is Not Enough?
@@Stormchazer246sad to say, Denise Richards was what was wrong with The World Is Not Enough.
This is one of my favourite Bond moments! Tank you for uploading!
I can still remember the grin this put on my face at the cinema 😄 The Bond theme kicking in as the tank smashes through the wall is just perfect.
That is silly af and immensely entertaining. Gotta love practical effects and good editing.
I am from Russia.
I swear, that after such pursuit by agent 007 our dear St.Petersburg was damaged more than during all Great Patriotic War (WW II). 😅
Согласен
@@i..m Ну, если серьёзно, то конечно же это не так. Сколько натворили фашисты, пока ещё никто не "превзошёл".
Haha nice one!
The world saw that.beautiful city and I'm grateful, despite the destruction, it looked stunning and made for spectacular and unusual car chase as only Bond films can do.
I hope they paid for the damage though.
I believe that.
The man is a walking embodiment of the Apocalypse.
He once decimated an entire parish(county)in the state of Louisiana just to evade pursuit.
Brosnan and the tie adjustment at 4:35. What a beautiful Irishman!
Hands down, best chase in the series
From the whole franchise I think this is the most bad ass scene. Definitely
a favourite one!
Goldeneye relaunched the Bond franchise and scenes like this were the reason why it survived at all. So damn good.
Actual agent: Hope no one gets suspicious about my new haircut.
James Bond:
Everything about this scene is just so perfectly done! Not only did they manage to find a way to have the tank crash through 2 structures, they got Bond to drift in the damn thing!
I remember watching documentary about this movie... The drift was heavily provoked. It turned out that contrary to scriptwrither's imagination, the tank would turn like a sports car.
That end, adjusting the tie... Best ever Bond will always be Brosnan...
Everybody loves the tie adjustment, but Ourumov drinking from the flask is equally as funny to me😂
There is a reason the T-55 is one of my top ranked Bond cars, right after the DAF Mustang Mach 1.
Bonds in the 90’s was just so effortlessly cool.
Great continuity at 4:15 with the Perrier cans still riding on the tank.
If DAD's got the best vehicle chase scene ever, this one is definitely the funniest 😂😂😂
First Bond movie I watched!
Me too.
Same!! I must’ve been about 6 or 7 at the time
Me too
Same. I was like 12 or 13 years old. TNT was doing a Bond marathon.
@@JustLynnYT Me too
In report: "Dropped government issued car, favoring Russian-made larger vehicle.
Pursuit in the tightest respect of the ROE in St Petersburg city streets.
Complying with local authorities, driving regulations and with the lowest profile ever.
Enjoying the mission overall. Wish to visit Russia more often (although Russian authorities may not agree with me).
007 out"
So Damm in character
"Minimal damage to St Petersburg's infrastructure and sixteen police cars and twelve army vehicles and a statue"
As a former tank driver I’m gonna say driving over a car is very therapeutic
No matter how many stupid fast and furious movies come out, this is by far GREATEST HOLYWWOD car/tank chase ever. Steve McQueen's in Bullitt is second close.
facts
This is still a classic Bond movie!
Not to mention the video game adaptations by Nintendo/Rare and Activision.
The look on Ourumovs face when Bond smashes through the wall with the tank is priceless. He is both dumbfounded and terrified at the same time.
Five seconds before the smash Ouromov is thinking that he will be able to quietly dispose of the only witness, his suspicious superior has been killed, and the plentiful troops will be able to capture/kill 007. In that moment, life was good.
TANK SMASH!
Life was no longer good.

Bond's ability to handling nearly every possible imagined vehicle available is outstanding xD
I love how by 4:00 Orumov is looking physically drunk from all his nervous drinking
I love later, when he gets on the train, how he picks up a sandwich, puts it down, and then take another swig of vodka.
You should have seen the actor in real life! 😄
0:13 Bond popping out of the top after crashing through a wall is priceless
At 1:48 had me laughing so hard seeing all the people on the street getting run over and launched in the air lol
Has a huge grand theft auto feel to this scene
This scene will never be beat. Its still remember even almost 30 years later.
I watched this movie religiously as a kid, anytime a went over to my nans, i would watch this movie and eat my choco chip cookies with milk......fuck i miss being a kid sometimes
He even managed to do his tie. Nicely done!
Such a memorable action scene definitely one of my favorite action moments in Bond history!
The tie adjustment at the end is still the most pimp bond moment of all time
Her smile MADE this scene!
Hermosooooo!!!!!! Este muchacho es el mejor James Boon!!!!! The best!!!!!!. Saludos desde Argentina 😚😚😚
Can we just appreciate that tank drift at 0:40? If his stunt man Gary Powell did that, well fucking done.
The most hilarious scene in all 007 movies. James Bond went on rampage while riding a tank like there's no tomorrow. 😂
yup! that was so funny
I think the exploding pen with Q is my favourite scene, but this is definitely the most badass in my opinion. You know the character of Bond is having the ultimate power rush driving a fuckin TANK to chase the baddies.
02:00 I love how the Cops chased the tank only to realize last second: "This is a Tank and we have a couple Trucks and 9mm handguns. What the hell are we supposed to do? *REVERSE REVERSE* "
And the soldiers shoot the bulletproof tank with M4 carbines

This is why Goldeneye is the best bond film
This scene makes you completely forget we never actually got a regular car scene in the movie itself. It's *that* badass.
...And so badass, it didn't only stick to GoldenEye for the video games cause we got these in Agent Under Fire and TWICE in Everything or Nothing.
...Oh, and the line "I need you to track a Humvee through the streets of St. Petersburg. It's the one *being chased by a tank.* " from the game remake.
Lots of the movies don't have car chases...
They didn't get the BMW in fast enough because BMW were dragging their ass. And since Bond must have a "car" chase, the tank in my opinion was 100% better.
@@Seriona1 That's probably why Tomorrow Never Dies almost immediately introduces the car proper, must've been BMW apologizing for being idiots.
@@UltimaKeyMaster Yeah, I don't get why they did that. All the BMW scenes in Goldeneye had to be shot last, that is why you see so little of it.
Tanks for the memories, Pierce Brosnan.
One of the most unexpected & action packed sequences in the history of the 007 franchise'/!!!
3:16
No matter how times wed watch this movie back in day, we would ALWAYS be fascinated that dude survived this. 😂
Best Bond scene EVER
one of the best bond moment scenes ever
it reminds me of the video games and when you cause so much destruction you get a 007 moment.
