When Q asks if Bond was expecting an exploding pen, it’s a nice little reference to a pen that Bond had in Goldeneye.

[@Loooseeey]

@@OriginalPuro Although I love the new films, the gadgets and cars in all of the other Bond iterations are just so much cooler. But, then again those films were a LOT less realistic 😭

The exploding pen was first used by Timothy Dalton in The Living Daylights

"Are you going to eject me?" is also a reference to the Aston Martin that had the ejector seat in ANOTHER Bond movie.

[@arthurcamargo8416]

According to the Scotland Wild website, which is Scotland's website to draw tourism, the actual "lodge" set was built on land owned by the Department of Defence in Surrey England. It was constructed for the film and then destroyed. It did, however, look similar to a structure that was further down the road. Additionally, the role of Kincaid was added to the movie after a planned cameo for Sean Connery fell through. He was going to be the lodge steward who happened to be a retired 00 agent (unnamed), but because of his failing health at the time, he could not complete the shoots and ended up dropping out. They actually went after Dalton, and Lazenby but, obviously, neither agreed to do it. So they rewrote the role to that of Kincaid and dropped the retired 00 storyline. Great reactions, lots of fun!! Looking forward to Spectre!!

[@lordhoot1]

Surrey's not in Scotland...

[@Malfie657]

Surrey's in England but otherwise you're right, it's an area between the villages of Elstead and Thursley. The dummy lodge was built was built on Ministry of Defence land just outside the villages which was (and still is) used for military exercises and previously as a drop zone for paratroop training. The level of detail on the dummy lodge was incredible.

[@arthurcamargo8416]

Ah yes! Thank you for the correction!

[@snowdenwyatt6276]

There's a few stories going about around the Kincaid character. The one I've heard (and that Mendes has repeated) is that the role was written to lure Connery out of retirement by the writers and producers. But Mendes felt that it would be too much of a circus to actually go through with it so the role was never offered to him. You can definitely hear Connery in the "Welcome to Scotland" line though.

[@K.R.M.11]

I drove past there back in October. All the filming spots are pointed out, especially Braveheart locations. Gorgeous countryside!

[@pudder68]

When he fixes his cuff link at 6:10 or so .. Iconic bond moment

[@PhoenixPrime]

My favorite Bond movie of all time!!! I was a gal in high school when this movie came out, and my then-boyfriend and I went to see it in theaters together. And man, when things got intense and the whole house went up in flames, we were CLINGING to each other nonstop! 😂

[@Keladinus]

31:25 In terms of cinematography, this is probably the best monologue in the entire series. The way the camera holds a long angle as Bardem slowly walks across the room, and he perfectly times his delivery to finish as he makes his way over to Bond. Such an interesting way to introduce a villain.

[@clarencewalker3925]

Not only is the Komodo dragon fast, its saliva is toxic. And, even more toxic, THEY DESTROYED THE DB5! WTF!

[@EScoglio]

It's a small moment, but Kincaid pulling out the knife and saying "Sometimes the old ways are best" is one of my favorites. Kincaid goes hard and he's seen some shit!

[@AdeptusCaeiusIII]

You also see the parallel between him and Bond, with Bond preferring to 'do it more traditional'. Kincaid was the man that picked him up and took care of him after he lost EVERYTHING, and James echoes that influence several times. It wasn't a particularly forward thing, but a nice touch from the writers.

[@Klaital1]

One thing that you might not immediately think about this movie is also that the villain won. He achieved his goal of killing M, and he wanted to die himself with her. He did everything he set out to do.

[@vivek27789]

True.. Very True

[@spddracer]

This might be my favorite Bond film. Such a great blend of the old and new Bond. It feels like a love letter to Bond.

[@michaelmcnair7624]

That thing between M and Bond is called LOVE.❤

[@TeenTyrant]

Javier’s portrayal of Silva was likely influenced, at least in some capacity, by Heath Ledger’s performance as the Joker. Both manipulate events from a distance, arrange for themselves to be captured and brought to the good guys’ headquarters in order to escape and mess up their whole system, are dark reflections of the protagonist, are violently insane yet playfully charming, and Silva even has his own “wanna know how I got these scars” moment when he pulls out his dentures.

[@snowdenwyatt6276]

The funny thing about Javier Bardem is that he rose to fame playing romantic leads in Spanish films but once he started doing English language films he became typecast as the villain.

[@problak202]

Skyfall is definitely my favorite out of the bond series. The visuals and story for me is just everything

One of the best things about this movie is the way they slowly brought back and gave background and foundational relationship building for the elements of classic Bond movies that Daniel Craig's era had sort of distanced itself from in the first two films. We got the classic OG Bond crew of M (in this case a male M like in old films), Moneypenny, Q, and Bond together, and we got to see all 4 of them operate as an actual team, which makes their relationship even stronger for later stories. What I always loved about this movie is that in that courthouse fight scene, when you see everyone ducking out of the way, Mallory is the only person jumping over the tables and running towards danger and pulling M out of the way - it shows you without really saying a word just how he's as much of a warrior as Bond is, which is why in many ways he's the perfect leader that Bond would listen to, someone who understands the battlefield.

[@Kickinthescience]

Probably the earliest jump scare for Nikki ever

[@JamesDavis-sh9gh]

Fun Fact: The woman interrogating M during the inquiry scene was played by the late Helen McCrory who played Draco Malfoy's mother in the Harry Potter films alongside Ralph Fiennes who , of course , was Voldemort. This was the first film they worked together since the end of the series.

The new Q is great! Ben Wishaw is killing it - and he's consistently good in the future movies. By the way, Skyfall was one of the movies that was kind of imitating The Dark Knight, but didn't cock it up by completely missing the point. There were a lot of movies that came out that were just trying to be edgy, dark, and gritty that just didn't understand why it worked for Batman, but not Spider-Man, or the 2017 Power Rangers, Star Trek Into Darkness, etc, but THIS MOVIE absolutely understood what made that movie great.

Hands down for me not only the best of Daniel Craig's Bond films, but one of the best of the entire franchise! Story, casting, characters, music - everything was just perfect for this film.... apart from the demise of 'M', which I believe had something to do with the studio wanting to 'reinvigorate' the franchise. BIG shout out to the theme song sung by Adele, my favorite Bond song of all time!: it's widely reported that Daniel Craig apparently cried hearing it saying it was just perfect! - & that he tried to get her back for his remaining 2 films, but it wasn't to be!

[@MrWesleyDP]

Easily the best Bond villain across 50+ years of movies. A sympathetic villain always stands out (Killmonger for example) but, yeah the similarities between this guy and Heath Ledgers Joker have been noted. Honestly, I kind of hate that they kill him off but, unlike many villains I think he actually gets what he wants in the end.

[@TheDemonicPenguin]

He's probably the best. I'd put Goldfinger, Blolfeld and Elliot Carver (who gets more relevant all the time) as runners up.

[@TTVTheDoctorJay]

I am glad y'all loved this movie as much as I did. The exploding pen reference was from Goldeneye and the seat ejection reference was from Goldfinger. They made a ton of call backs in this film. Your reaction was top tier :)

[@maximillianosaben]

This is among the best Bond films, if not considered the best by many. It is exceptionally well done, and Javier Bardem (especially after No Country For Old Men) delivered one beast of a villainous performance.

[@danielscott8180]

You can see more of Judi Dench as M in Brosnan's four Bond films. Though, she plays two different people who happen to be M, the Head of MI6. Brosnan's films are in a different universe to Craig's, basically. Just like Tim Burton's Batman films are unrelated to Chris Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy.

[@D25Bev]

The Kincade bloke at the end was originally written to be played by Sean Connery as this film was celebrating 50yrs of Bond. However, in the end they thought it would've been a bit too weird for two Bond's to meet so cast Albert Finney instead.

[@Arksimon2k]

Been a fan of Dame Judi Dench as M since GoldenEye. This was a great send off for her and I really like the addition of Ralph Fiennes as the new M.

To answer your earlier question, the opening gun fight is a Glock 17 pistol….modified for full auto fire. The magazine (not clip) is a double drum mag. He then drops it and switches to an extended box magazine for the shootout on the train. Love your content.

The stepping on the Komodo dragon was a nod to the crocodiles in Live and Let Die

[@k.delpino1124]

Highest-grossing Bond film of all time and released during the 50th Anniversary. Bond remembering his tragic past, rebuilding his body & soul, recharging his character to being the best in the game. Judi Dench as the only female 'M' within 17 years and 2 eras. Tied with the late Bernard Lee, who played the role first in the earliest films. Saw this in IMAX and i was blown away. Bardem as the villain, Introducing franchise favorites (Q & Moneypenny), getting a new M and the title theme by Adele is so good. A definite bounce-back from the previous film. Showing us once again why no does it better than 007.

[@johncriscaminong8539]

Javier Bardem should've won an oscar for this performance

[@billbill6094]

This was the movie that made me love the Bond franchise. I knew of him, but the idea of Bond never really appealled to me before I saw this. I immediately went to my local library looking for the original Fleming novels after this. Love how everything about Bond seems crippled and isolated, old and alone. Even his childhood home looks as isolated as can be. It's a very personal story mixed with some amazing action. That scene you said looked like John Wick was probably why I loved JW so much when I saw it, I could never find another fight scene like that Skyfall skyscraper scene, creative with the neon and glass, until the JW's came out. The next two are a treat and will have some more familiar faces in them.

[@alejandrorecheselas6418]

Great reaction. I am from Spain and I have followed Javier Bardem's carreer from the beginning. I like how both of you appreciate his work in this movie. He can play any role: one of the best villains in Bond saga or the King Triton in The little mermaid. His first role was in a TV series. He was six years old. His mother was one of the protagonists, the kid who was supposed to play a part did not appear and Bardem's mother brought him as a replacement

[@gnomescape]

Nikki has good taste. That was also The Queens favourite car.

[@tjjordan4207]

There were plans to bring Sean Connery back to act in the role of Kincade, the gamekeeper at the Skyfall Estate. Rumors range that they did ask but he said no, or they didn't ask due to either already knowing his answer or because they feared the audience would get confused by his appearance.

[@kpednault]

This is the best Daniel Craig one in my opinion

[@electronash]

I forgot how good Sam Mendes is as a Director. He makes movies that feel quite real and plausible, even a Bond movie. lol Definitely watch "1917", if you haven't done already. Although, he did also direct Spectre (2015), which I didn't like so much. It was better than some of the previous Bond movies, but not as good as Skyfall, imo. Javier Bardem was an inspired choice for a Bond villian. If you've ever seen "The Man With The Golden Gun" (1974), Skyfall has some obvious "nods" to that movie, like Javier's island.

[@electronash]

49:03 - Albert Finney. He was in The Bourne Ultimatum and The Bourne Legacy. He was brilliant in Erin Brockovich (2000). Sadly, Skyfall was his last movie. He passed in 2019.

[@411russ]

The opening credits in this film are a microcosm of the actual story, the recurring theme is obscurity and reflection (smoke and mirrors), Bond is shown shooting himself in the mirrors as an early indication that the primary antagonist is as you find out and ex MI6 agent, who's every move is misdirection and subterfuge aimed at derailing MI6's every attempt to gain the upper hand which end up bringing about the very thing the antagonist wants to happen, this is another occasion in the Bond series where, although the antagonist dies, he dies knowing that he has won, and nothing Bond did was able to stop that.

M's death here really hit hard because she has been M far longer then Craig has been Bond. people forget sometimes that Dame Judy Dench had played M since the Pierce Brosnon days. she already had 4 films as M under her belt by the time Casino Royale came out. and for many, she was the M people had grown up with. but it was all handled phenomenally. an excellent movie, and a nice homage to the bonds of the past.

This is my favorite Bond movie ever, closely followed by Casino Royale in second place and Goldeneye in third. As far as Craig’s Bong goes, my ranking is: - Skyfall - Casino Royale - Die Another Day - Spectre - Quantum of Solace This movie is amazing in many aspects but Roger Deakin’s cinematography is stunning, every scene is wallpaper worthy. This has also my favorite Bond song.

[@DrKnockers05]

Not just one of the best Bond films but also contains, in my opinion, one of the best third acts in a Bond film AND one of the most spectacular explosions in movie history. I was floored the first time I experienced the Skyfall manor exploding, and never fails to exhilarate me with each viewing.

[@reflectionist]

It is kind of weird how much nostalgia is in this movie. How there's clearly a theme of Bond being old, but that theme flies because it's like the twenty fourth Bond film, but it's weird that it's literally this guy's third assignment. And QoS felt like it accidentally stumbled onto some semblance of a plot that he didn't care about that much anyway. Quantum of Solace wasn't about Quantum. It was about Vesper. And though "My Organization" worked and wasn't a bad idea, especially given that it was born during the writers strike. Meaning there wasn't someone to say, "Hold off on this idea - we will DEFINITELY get there, but now is not the time. Bond doesn't want or need ANSWERS, he wants BLOOD. Answers will come LATER."

[@2tone753]

I am a 62 year old German, for me Sean Connery was/is the absolute ultimate. Daniel Craig is also made of exactly this wood. For me, an agent doesn't stand at a party and drink champagne. All of Connery's successors were absolute disasters for ME. Roger Moore always struck me as a marriage swindler looking for a rich wife. Only Craig brought the old fire back. How does he say "rat eats rat" It's so British in the best way! A masterpiece.

[@timtwoface]

Of the Daniel Craig Bond films, I easily love Skyfall the most, hands down. Casino Royale, also excellent, solid #2. Frankly I think Skyfall is my favourite Bond film, period - I've seen nearly all the Bond films save for the Lazenby and Dalton films and feel confident in saying this. The parallels between Craig's Bond series and The Dark Knight trilogy are pretty strong, too; Batman Begins directly influenced the realistic, gritty reboot that was Casino Royale, and Skyfall and The Dark Knight have so many parallels - and both are awesome in their own right.

[@countgeekula9143]

Skyfall is fantastic. Sam Mendes directed the heck out of it and Roger Deakins cinematography is exceptional. I have some issues with some of the plotting and the contrivances employed but they are only minor nitpicks as the thematics of the story and the performances are all so good. A class act.

So this film was actually filmed in Hankley common, which is near Pinewood studios (known for 007 films) and about 5 miles away from where I used to live, its army land where they regularly train and fly chinooks into, but also open to public, they built the Skyfall manor there….twice because they blew it up twice to get the right shots, we have a lot of films made near here, the Witcher and gladiator were filmed in Bourne woods a couple of miles away from Hankley, again as it’s close to Pinewood studios, and these are where I walk my dog

Apparently the reason he does that is because when you have a martini shaken and not stirred, when you stir a martini, the ice, the water, and the alcohol mix together. When you shake a martini, the water sits on top of the alcohol, so he's only sipping water pretending to get drunk. Yes. He waters it down. He's such a good spy. (makes sense don't know the real reason) you are gonna love the next 2 movies mind blowing. Keep up the good work.

That's not quite true. A martini is a cocktail one sips anyways, but stirring it "bruises" the alcohol. That means that the liquids do not mix as well and will have some spots with more of the alcohol and some spots of the other liquids. Shaking gets a more even mix, so that's why the preference is to make it shaken.

I shave with a badger hair brush and glycerine soap. The brush is superior because it works the soap lather into the hair meaning fewer strokes. Fewer strokes = less irritation = clean shave. The glycerine soap can be purchased fairly inexpensively. It’s great for keeping the skin moisturized during your shave. Badger hair brushes last a very long time if you take care of them. Mine is 24 years old and still works beautifully.

A kickass intro followed by one of the greatest intro songs of all time. Adele!!

M's statement that he was over stepping his brief kind of means selling info on the side, so selling him out prevented a potential scandal if he had been brought to trial for the over stepping of his brief

The next 2 are going to blow your minds

Skyfall is so good. From the soundtrack, the theme song, the action, the visuals, the story, the villain, etc. Awesome all around.

The run and leap to grab hold of the elevatorr was very real and was actually done by Craig himself, no stuntman. Yes, the close up as he's rising was greenscreen and cgi but the initial run and leap was all Danial Craig. 😁

My favorite Bond movie. Love the opening song, too. So good.

The exploding pen comment from Q is a fantastic call back to one of Bonds gadgets in GoldenEye. Raymond was quite wrong about the "Skyfall house. It's not in Scotland at all. Its somewhere in England. The Exterior shots are real but the inside is a Hollywood set. Also it was NEVER owned by Sean Connery.
