My thoughts are keep your political views to yourself. I don't need to know about your hatred towards the right or conservative media. We had an entire summer of burning churches, violent riots, killings. Meanwhile the mainstream media lying headlines read "peaceful protests" as a building was literally burning and looters were robbing stores. So keep your politics to yourself.

I think it's party because people mistakenly think very serious characters are more realistic, but being very serious and lacking a sense of humor is one of the biggest things I believe make fictional characters less like real people.

Roger Moore and Pierce Brosnan ARE James Bond as Ian Fleming imagined him; and no other actor enjoyed being James Bond more than Pierce Brosnan. He is the only one who never complained about filming workload, paychecks, Bond’s personality, and so on. Do the homework and compare Brosnan’s movies with Craig’s era: even the light is bluer (sadder) in the latter (Skyfall and its sequels). Of course, in Craig’s movies you get 500% more stunts, but James Bond is about glamour, intelligence, and passion for what he does while saving the world. It is not about a man’s struggle with midlife crisis and, on top of that, save the world, if you don’t mind, please, Mr. Bond?

Thank you! This film deserves so much more credit than it gets. I remember after leaving the theater with my friends. I said I think Bond is actually ahead of his time, story wise and action sequences. They were all like no just another Bond film. I said do you see the way the world is changing. Maybe it was just me. In my Jr. and Sr. year of H.S. I spent half the day working on computers. This is going to age me but I don't care. I graduated in 1987. I was the top student two years in a row on those ancient machines. It came with perks though. If the teacher left the class everyone knew I was in charge. It also came with a recommendation to work at the IRS on the weekends while still going to school. I digress, I love this movie and wish more people would appreciate it what it accomplished. Peace

That to me is James Bond.

I oddly think this movie is a lot of fun. i remember the one hand each motorcycle scene being kinda cool as a kid. As well as them jumping down building while the banner rips. It’s just cool. I also imagine despite it not being as good as goldeneye making a lot of money. Kinda the same way TDKR made more than TDK simply because of the latter being so beloved.

The opening scene is art, pure greatness

Mildly fun fact, the no nonsense US Air Force (?) guy who briefs bond on how to do a HALO jump? You may recognise him as Seargent Apone from Aliens. He is a Verteran, having served in Vietnam (VIETNAM!?) so he knows how to do that kind of role pretty well.

I couldn’t agree more. I’ve always thought this movie was so underrated! I find it endlessly entertaining, super clever and gorgeous to look at. Plus, I’m partial to Asian women and I couldn’t think of a hotter, sexier co-star to have as a girlfriend. Hats off to you.

Every time you said ‘Surrender’ I was expecting you to throw in the kd lang hit that should have been the title song

Tomorrow Never Dies and The World is Not Enough are forgotten greats in the bond franchise that deserve more attention.

25:44 "It was kind of a dry run for some of the ideas explored further in The World is Not Enough and then refined in the Craig films" On her Majesty's Secret Service, who did this back in 69: Uh, EXCUSE YOU?

My favourite Bond film hands down. Slick, entertaining and a masterclass by Brosnan.

Tomorrow Never Dies is my favourite Brosnan Bond film, even Goldeneye. Michelle Yeoh was a great addition to the series and I feel it is Brosnan's best performance in the role.

The funny thing is Rupert Murdoch, the real-life version of the Bond Villain, Elliot Carver, is FAR MORE DANGEROUS and DESTRUCTIVE than Fiction.

I have never forgotten TND. Its one of my favourite Bonds and David Arnold's music ( a John Barry homage ) is fantastic.

Agree with every word, especially your political and social commentary on this particularly strong 007 entry. Excellent video comrade.

A forgotten film???, really? This is one of my favorite Bond films, lots of fun, good story, action, etc. Forgotten? Not by me.

0:37 The car's registration plate is BMT 214 A (the usual Aston Martin) .... but ... I have seen _two_ registration plates for the Aston Martin. One is BMT 214 A and the other is BMT 216 A (notice the switch 214 v. 216). It depends which film one watches. In the various "the making of..." videos which have been around recently, not to mention a very recent KZbin video in which Prince Charles is given a guided tour of the 007 works, I've seen both of those registration plates. Can someone explain? Did the film makers have a memory lapse? Did they think that we wouldn't notice?

I've never forgotten about Tomorrow Never Dies. In fact, I owned it on VHS and now I own it on DVD. Good Bond Movie.

39 minutes and not one mention of the badass throwback henchman named Stamper. He was one of my favorite parts when I saw this in the theater as a kid.
