QUANTUM OF SOLACE Clip - "Bond Kills Mitchell" (2008)

[@vanillatography1544]

Too many cuts yes, but i'll be damned if that wasn't a fantastic ending to the scene with Bond upside down and shooting towards the camera.

[@Nettingyournetworth]

Agreed

[@mirvha714]

Makes sense though to get such a visceral fight scene with so much destruction it must've taken a lot of takes to maintain continuity in order to make it feel genuine. There's a lot going on in a short time here.

[@AnshumanKumar007]

Imagine if this is where they put the barrel roll scene (and the scene was better edited). It is quite evident the stuntmen did great work here. Craig too.

[@JoeyJojoJrJr]

Probably true. But the shot at 3:20 absolutely saves it IMO.

The shot at 3:21 also deserves special mention IMO.

Nah you guys can’t be serious… are we really going to ignore the long shot at 1:54 of the grandma mourning her tomatoes? Amidst all the choppy action, that shot punctuates with a looong emotional note.

Look, I appreciate the fact that action scenes now have to involve multiple cameras and rapid editing. Like really rapid editing to enhance the kinetic quality of the scene. But this is an example of pushing the envelope beyond comprehension. If you can't easily, and I mean easily, follow the action then its just a bunch of noise. And yes, its a bravura ending to the scene with Bond shooting upward to kill the dude.

Bond is not car chases, fist fights and gunshots only. It is a spy story. It also explains why Black Widow failed and worse than The Red Sparrow which was not even a great movie itself.

It's probably just the regular cut with an extra cut thrown in by the director.

[@Oravankarva]

Cutless director. I will watch that!

[@adrianbarac3063]

I believe this cutting style was actually part of the Director's vision. Whether the Editor actually agreed with this vision or not, he was essentially hired to follow a brief.

[@Falllll]

The quick cuts didn't work for this scene, but really worked for the Tosca scene imo. Think it's just too frantic here whereas for that scene it feels more like an artistic choice that fits.

[@22Clearwater]

The manic editing is totally ludicrous, it spoils the film completely.

[@seanyonthemic]

That’s true. But the Bourne Ultimatum was so popular the year before this came out that they decided to make a James Bond film Bourne Style…and it didn’t work. Luckily, Skyfall was much better….even Spectre was better. Quantum is by no means the worst Bond film. It’s a unique film, but it’s also a huge disappointment.

[@Auzzie015]

I always enjoyed the end of this scene. The fight on the scaffolding is so fun, and that final shot using the rope to steady himself and shoot up at the camera is cold.

[@1cedcoffee]

i love the way the camera takes a hit @ 3:35

I never understand the trick of how they filmed that scene with the big horse race event, because I got feeling that it was a real event and they somehow corporate it into the movie.

[@lsmft9576]

[@王皇文-g7x]

I think it is more realistic because nobody know how many people protect us under the shadow just like in the horse race(even if somebody is killed)

Their second unit filmed the real Paleo horse race for the movie.

[@VonWenk]

My biggest complaint with Quantum of Solace is how short it is, especially coming on the heels of the longest Bond movie theretofore. It probably has my favorite David Arnold Bond score, I love the way the movie ends ("I never left."), and I almost wish the opening titles had come after Bond shot Mitchell hanging upside down.

Mitchell was my favourite character of the film, he was great. I emailed to see if they had a Pop! figurine of him and they said they didn't. I asked why. They said he wasn't 'popular' enough... I immediately responded by saying he was the best part of one of the best Bond films, and that I'd like a figurine of him to add to my collection. They responded, this time in a wordier fashion, that Mitchell simply wouldn't sell as he wasn't in demand. I was sickened. I was appalled. I refuse to accept this. Theyve done Mitchell dirty. Not popular to them, sure. OK. But Mitchell has a very large cult following out there unbeknownst to the clueless Pop figure employees. It was time to take matters into my own hands. After a bit of impressive sleuthing, I successfully compiled a list of all employees at the company. And one by one I began a quest of... err, 'correction'. Ok, in broader terms it's torture and intimidation through various means. TLDR; the Mitchell pop figure is currently in development ☺️🙏
