I may be biased since TND was the first James Bond movie I saw in theaters, but the remote control BMW scene is nothing but fun from start to finish. I distinctly remember smiling ear-to-ear just as Brosnan does at the end of the scene, and the theater’s collective ooh’s and aah’s as each new gadget appeared on screen. This was nothing short of action movie magic, and is a top-tier action scene in all of the James Bond movies. Who wouldn’t want to drive a car (BMW, nonetheless) remotely and look as cool as James Bond doing it?!
James Bond (Pierce Brosnan) swaps hands with his Walther P99 in Die Another Day (2002)
James Bond (Pierce Brosnan) perilously hangs by a rope in the opening sequence of The World Is Not Enough (1999)
Google Translate (roughly) helps us see the Russian headlines the soldier reads on the toilet in GoldenEye (1995) before James Bond (Pierce Brosnan) gives him the surprise of his life. The roughly translated text seen is:
- “Twenty years ago, the Central Committee of the CPSU released first soviet football player to earn money in a foreign club”
- “Mateus will not lie”
- “Onin lived in Burma like a king, but worked like an ox”
Any Russians out there want to help out further?
