DIE ANOTHER DAY | Bond and Graves duel it out

Bond (Pierce Brosnan) and Gustav Graves (Toby Stephens) duel it out in the corridors of the Blades Club in DIE ANOTHER DAY (2002). The sword fight was choreographed by former Olympic fencer Bob Anderson who also doubled for Darth Vader in the Empire Strikes Back and Return Of The Jedi’s lightsaber duels.

Everything about this scene is perfection from the moment Bond & Graves begin fighting: the editing, the escalating tension of the magnificent music, the sound design, the general continuity between shots, and most of all the background extras who are all acting “appropriately” (within the context of the film): intensely interested, excited, shocked, scared, amused.

Because this movie was hated

[@Forenzikproductions]

They should have played this game with Nerf guns... *would have been even more intense...* Imagine it.

[@technocrat7930]

No 😆

[@professorchaos8407]

They should've started with nerf guns then used real ones later.

[@ENTERTAININGVIDEOS1]

😂😂😂

james bond running around as fast as he can to pick up fired darts before his opponent

[@iankiller1]

GAAAAAAYYYYY! "first blood drawn from the torso"

[@teamstuntastic8855]

So thats where captain. Flint got his cutlass skills

[@hanselleos9718]

Lol

[@Ambu557]

such an underrated show!!! Black Sails!!!!

[@TheWhiteOwl23]

This is actually a good parallel to guys having an argument, how quickly we can just let shit go lol

[@jacobmoore6874]

Yeah once we slive it its over. Women will hold a grudge for 30 years over something her best friend did in 3rd grade 😄

[@pointoflight2914]

Ha yes, just being pricks smashing everything up and endangering children passing by.

[@yannisdekonoha]

"Of course I wanna bloody continue" Graves responded calmly

[@richard63]

For me the best Bond scene in all of the movies. Well done Pierce and Toby.

[@wizzlesticks]

My favourite part of this scene is that the British trained butlers continue serving Devonshire tea to seated guests during the sword fight.

[@angelomaldini3316]

I don't remember this movie being that insane! Good God!

[@Wolfsbane909]

diamonds...

[@LCTesla]

Massively underrated Bond. Sometimes it takes retrospect to appraise a piece's value.

[@skanlynes4789]

Its sad that there will never be a bond movie like this again.

[@coops1992]

Yep, back when masculinity was cool xD

[@Factboy12]

After all that... 5:10 "Settle downstairs shall we". That is a gentleman.

[@zenthemanchild]

This is my favourite Bond actor

[@curestarlight3023]

We go from typical fencing swords to what looks like rapiers, a katana & longswords. And I love it 😁

[@mikebaxter6771]

Don't care if this is one of the most hated Bond film. This was my shit when I was a kid!

[@ravens52raylewis87]

It's not that bad it no different than any other James Bond movie

[@unit1619]

@@ravens52raylewis87 Agreed, it definitely feels out of place compared to Brosnan's previous three films but greatly delivers on the old school over the top fun that the Roger Moore films had.

[@pedroduran8927]

I agree, i still remember all the fun that i had with this move as a kid, good old days!

[@MadMaxx.1977]

He'll always be Captain Flint to me.

[@Ancor_Vantian]

The twist of his character and the backstory made me loved his performance even more.

[@kingstarscream320]

He will always be the bad guy from that one episode of Sharpe for me

[@MaxwellAerialPhotography]

Yes. James McGraw will forever be in my heart.

[@alexgottmituns7049]

LoL. He's Flint. Didn't see that coming. Thought hw was Jackie Chans clone

[@deedsofdecapitation7477]

Was looking for a comment like this.

[@zacg1924]

3:27 "This should keep him at bay"

[@marcwolf60]

Thanks you so much for the informare re who Choreographed the Swordplay. It was brilliant.

[@FINALLYOUTAFTER6]

Criminally, underrated film

[@smurf0inferno]

I always thought "Die Another Day" deserved an Oscar for sound design, based on this scene alone.

[@blackbird8837]

It's Captain Flint from Black Sails. Damn. It's funny to realize those things in retrospect - that is when revisiting old movies realizing you thought you've seen them the first time in a newer movie.

[@tenyasha4398]

No way! I didn't recognize him

[@toffeelatte6042]

This is why I love English villains in bond movies. A bloody sword fight followed by a pint.

[@SuperGreatSphinx]

Bacchus

[@bimmeronline]

This is my 2nd fav villain ever in the Bond series....highly underrated actor. My favourite being the one from Tomorrow Never Dies.

[@JessY_8]

Love how Graves still keeps his manners at 4:09

[@romanceenthusiasm7972]

Reverse psychology you mean

[@dante4ever563]

Want to continue? OF COURSE I WANT TO BLOODY CONTINUE!

[@dante4ever563]

@Bilal Khalid stuck up dont like stuck up people I guess 😛

[@kazuhirala]

I used to think the character of Gustave Graves was insanely far fetch but 20 years later his type of outlandish successful personality actually closely resemble many of the people who walk our world today

[@AverageAngel]

Odd how this type succeeds the most

[@Mrraugut]

​@AverageAngel Of course because like Moon/Graves, this scene in particular, could care less of the damage they leave behind.

[@morzee94]

Ignoring the ridiculous script for a moment, that was actually a really well executed fight scene!

[@Odqvist89]

3:30 Yeah, thats me, with the newspaper, every monday morning at office when my two "co-workers" arrive, starting up the brawl of the week, over whatever topic...

[@PilkoPants]

Maybe they're pissed off because you're reading the newspaper while you should be working?!

[@amoghavarshamurthy]

The way Bond flicks the foil away. classic.

[@NIGHTSTALKER973]

This movie wasnt the best but my god this scene holds up and the tension is perfect especially when they enter the hallway after they start it really feels like they're trying to kill each other.

[@dominikleaves3624]

I love this intense sound at 2:43 when he is "cutting the air" :)

This just goes to show you how competitive Graves is, he WILL NOT LOSE, he needs to win even if he has to kill you.

[@ryanhuxley6854]

He really gives his persistence in the room when he says his name just oooo gives me a shiver down my spine
