007 Things We Learned About GoldenEye from Famke Janssen and Martin Campbell

Famke Janssen and director Martin Campbell joined IGN's Watch From Home Theater to watch one of the all time great James Bond movies, GoldenEye. Here are some of the highlights from more than two hours worth of behind the scenes insight into the making of the film, including how many takes they spent on the epic dam bungee jump, how much it costs to fix a Ferrari, how Famke broke a bone playing Xenia Onatopp, why the Bond theme was almost absent from the tank chase through St. Petersburg and the lost art of models in film.

[@yakuza01]

Yeah, not sure if coincidence but he seems to have a magic touch when it comes to injecting new life to the Bond franchise every time it transitions to a new actor. I hope he makes the first film with whoever takes over after Craig.

I thought casino royale was kind of boring. Goldeneye awesome.

@@kevin_1230 wow! That's a first. I really thought it was expertly paced, involving and perfectly ratcheted up the intensity at just the right times. It also started with two incredible sequences. Person taste is so subjective.

It's worth buying the DVD for the director commentary (yes, Martin goes "model ... that's a model ... model, model, model" on that as well); if you love Goldeneye it's another way to enjoy the film again if you've watched it to death. It doesn't include the making-of feature - but you can just watch that on KZbin (which I also heartily recommend!).

As brilliant as GoldenEye is, I actually agree with Martin at 4:00. The music is noticeably worse than other Bond films (speaking as a musician whose main point of interest is film scores). People lambast Die Another Day, but with regard to music, it is GoldenEye’s superior, as is Tomorrow Never Dies which has the best score of Brosnan’s bunch. But Martin needn’t worry. He directed two of the best Bond films ever made (the latter of which had phenomenal music!).
