Now an extraordinarily clean, beautiful visual with wonderful sound, language choices, chaptering and so much more. A instant revolution.

[@breadonitsown8950]

What I love about Tomorrow Never Dies is that it's one of the movies people thought at the time was really outlandish and mental, but over time has actually proven itself to be among the more realistic and frightening scenarios, where media barons shape narratives that actually cause serious rifts and possibly even lead to wars between peoples and countries. Elliot Carver is therefore one of the most sinister Bond villains, because he really exists!

Even if the movie itself isn't one of the most impressive, this opening scene is absolutely amazing.

[@mattmatt7305]

Tomorrow Never Dies is seriously underrated.

[@therabidscorpion]

I love how Bond zooms in on the torpedoes like "Don't you see THOSE, idiot??!!"

[@MartinZanichelli]

The jeep was covering the missiles in the beginning.

[@hamadhumaid1984]

​@@MartinZanichelli imagine what will happen if that cruise missile hits those torpedoes, that Admiral Roebuck should've wait

[@midniteryder_3-16]

Brosnan bond has a tendency 2 when it comes 2 defying certain orders, it doesn’t take long 2 c that he HAS a reason why. The world is not enough was another example of that. He had 2 question m about certain personal matters in the past that end up becoming present.

[@Supdude.]

When I was a kid, I don't think I realized how much chaos and confusion Bond was DELIBERATELY causing in order to steal the jet. I thought he was just blowing shit up for fun!!

[@leandronogueirasalgadofilh9779]

Perhaps it's the best opening of the entire 007 franchise! Exciting! Explosive! Brosnan at his best! I liked it from the first time I watched it in Brazil.

[@Dfturcott]

I loved goldeneye as a kid but the older I get, I dare say that maybe tomorrow never dies is the best Brosnan bond movie

[@ughugh351]

GoldenEye is so much better and tommorow never dies is one of the WEAKER BOND MOVIES

[@irishspagetti6565]

tomorrow never dies is alot morr escapist while goldeneye has a really good story and great characters

[@Stevenseagalfanbackup]

Tomorrow Never Dies is My Favorite Brosnan Bond Movie and My Favorite Bond movie of all time!

[@adnantariq3346]

Such a great scene

[@R-L-I]

“What the hell is he doing?” “His job!” 👏👏👏👏

[@R2Parmly]

The Brosnan era really had top notch opening sequences. The pre-credits moments in Goldeneye, Tomorrow Never Dies, and Die Another Day are all perfectly good mini-movies in their own right (The World Is Not Enough being the only one that's kind of lacking).

[@skyry101]

The World Is Not Enough, though the longest of all the cold openings (save maybe one of the more recent Craig ones), has grown on me. It's Brosnan at his most ruthless (hell, it was probably one of the coldest Bonds next to Quantum--from the way he took down the heavies in the bank all the way to when he executed an unarmed woman point-blank and in cold-blood) and that boat chase sequence was awesome!

[@pr-tj5by]

@@skyry101 I just miss the fun and escapism, the cool panache of Brosnan that was missing with Craig, except for the first 40 minutes of Spectre

[@Jordie_42]

The WINE pre opening title sequence was the only good part about the movie

[@jskypercussion]

TWINE bank and boat chase is lacking, it might be one of the longest intros of the franchise?

[@chrissoren3521]

I still would have preferred Dalton

[@allanpierce2174]

This is my favourite intro to a Bond movie, and one of my favourite scenes of any Bond movie.

[@rmacpie3475]

In 1996 it's My First Hollywood movie in theatre and I become Fan of Hollywood forever

[@AdamWest1290]

Golden eye, Tomorrow Never Dies, the world is not enough...the best opening scenes and intros ever for 007 movies

[@matthewprince9705]

Let's not talk about Die Another Day!

[@Gameflyer001]

The takeoff's a bit of a reference to Goldeneye, as in that film 007 takes the plane down the cliff first. In this one, he taxis down to the bottom before doubling back for takeoff.

[@PBL187]

I’d say the actual reference was a massive explosion after he got the plane in the air in both films, cos in Goldeneye he had to ride a motorbike off the cliff and sky dive to the plane before it crashed

[@JohnAnderson-jy2js]

Love the opening of this movie watching Judi Dench and her TV husband from the show as time goes on

[@MikaelLV]

I was 4 when this movie came out. Always dreamed about seeing this opening on the big screen back in 1997. The gunbarrel, the David Arnold score, the one liners, the high intensity action and Brosnan in peak form. Quintessential Bond.

[@Brian6587]

Love the opening in this and love the movie! Pierce Brosnan is awesome! One of my favorite Bonds besides Roger Moore.

[@davidtomlinson6138]

Same here

[@davidtomlinson6138]

Why would you strangle the pilot , you'll die too ! 🤔🙄🥴

[@QuantumOfSolace1]

This is one of the coolest openings -innovative writing!!

[@eoghanlacey6384]

Mate it’s good but it’s not innovative , it’s an action sequence

[@robertgutierrez4988]

This indeed is the best Bond opening of the whole series.

[@MindHunger]

This is one of my favorite Bond openings.

[@yidy1]

8:48 Ejecting the "backseat driver" pilot into the backseat of another jet flying above thus causing it to explode? *Most-realistic scene EVAH!*

[@OFFtheCHIZANE]

This is one of the best-sounding scenes in any movie, from the score to the sound design. Seriously, it stands among some of the best; the Omaha beach scene in Saving Private Ryan, the asteroid belt chase in SW2, the T-Rex breakout in JP… it’s up there.

[@Slechy_Lesh]

SHOOT. HER.

[@turtle752436]

was looking for that recently. Thank you. Probably one of the best James Bond starters of all time, in my book.

[@TheVleckChannel]

I love the absolute carnage run Bond goes on.

[@CannotHandlethis_Handle]

A great piece of cinema. This scene has it all.

[@peterjohnson617]

no matter who is playing J. Bond all the movies have great action... thanks.....

[@stroock6394]

if elliot carver were to describe this intro: delicious...

[@The-Rose-and-the-Cross]

'It isn't even mine!'

[@leontam221]

what will happen if elliot carver gets the nuclear torpedos instead of the sea drill.

[@jskypercussion]

Since he is the villain and Bond ruined all his plans he would despise this intro. He would simply say "Pathetic"

[@nickraja17]

That's why I love james bond One man taking down whole army and you still can believe that. Bond movies are always so fun to watch even the bad ones like specter or die another day

[@KomodoDad]

Tomorrow Never Dies may not be my favorite Bond film (though still a good Bond film) but I think it may have one of my favorite cold opens, if not THE favorite.

[@bryonpike2361]

The thing I love about this scene is that Tanner, M, and higher-ups at MI6 don't really ever get to see Bond at work. Their open-mouthed stares as he creates total mayhem and pulls of an incredible escape is part of what makes this so fun. They see first-hand how awesome he really is.

[@johnthunderdk2440]

Brosnan was and will always be the best of Bond....❤️❤️❤️

[@beautifulsoul3281]

Another scene that shows us why Brosnan is the best Bond ever.

[@hugodrax71]

That's Connery

[@williamewing5509]

This is my favourite James Bond movie as Pierce Brosnan second outing as 007 James Bond in Tomorrow Never Dies I am dedicating this movie DVD to my old school friends who are both sisters as I hope to see them both again very soon to Chris and Hester from Billyxxx

[@philnorfleet1371]

I still love how Judi Dench's M goes from "you're a sexist, misogynist dinosaur" in Goldeneye to this "What's your man doing?" "HIS JOB!" in this one.

[@TheNerdForAllSeasons]

I mean, he may he a sexist misogynist dinosaur, but you still need a hammer to insert nails into wood.

[@torferguson3866]

It's gratifying because bond has the full support of his authority figures, not like the Craig films with all this drama

[@caddydaddy84]

Thank you. I love this opening scene above and beyond all others

[@connormcleod9595]

Best bond intros period. No one does it better ❤
