TOMORROW NEVER DIES: Pierce Brosnan - James Bond Revisited

[@jailbreak74andmore]

Götz Otto, who plays one of the henchmen, had one of the greatest auditions ever. When he came to casting they told him that he had only 3 minutes to convince them, to which he replied: "I only need 3 seconds: I'm big, I'm bad, I'm German!" - The rest is history

[@RobPanico]

Funnily enough, when I rewatched the Bond series, this was surprised me in that it was far smarter, tonally consistent, and more fun than I remembered. David Arnold's incredible score also elevates this one tremendously and I prefer his orchestral sound faaarrrr more than Serra's GoldenEye

[@jambler15]

Yes. The music in the final 3 minutes of this film is absolute-peak David Arnold ("All In A Day's Work").

[@sweetpetebrown]

I never understood the indifference toward this one. My favorite of The Pierce Brosnans, probably becasue it's the one that most resembles the Roger Moore era. The light, quick pacing, simple plot...I love it. Im gonna go watch it again right now!

[@bonghunezhou5051]

Die Another Day also is reminiscent of Moore-Era outlandishness (specifically Moonraker). This film itself bears at least a slight resemblance to TSWLM (#10: Karl Stromberg v USA v Soviet Union; #18: Elliot Carver v UK v PRC). At least, this does not seem to be the object of vitriol heaped on, say, Spectre or A View to a Kill.

[@jakeastor9867]

Interesting fact: Elliot Carver is actually based on Robert Maxwell, Ghislaine Maxwell's father, rather than Rupert Murdoch.

[@MLJ7956]

Correct....

[@kasrakhatir]

It's even worse when M faked Carver's death as a drowning off the side of his yacht. As Maxwell was a suspected agent for MI6.

Another question: Did Steve Jobs base his look on Carver or was it the other way around? :D

[@dredwick]

Yeah, I don't remember when Rupert Murdoch did anything like Elliot Carver did in this movie (unless you believe the garbage printed by HuffPost... in that case Rupert Murdoch is more aligned with Satan than Elliot Carver)

[@Bluboy30]

I'm in the minority here but this is my favorite Brosnan's Bond film. The action scenes were quite excellent, especially that car chase in the parking garage. Also, I used to have an Ericsson cell phone that looked very similar to the one Bond used in the film.

[@spaceodds1985]

Goldeneye is the better film, but this is more entertaining.

[@nemoexnihilus2620]

Reading the commentaries, i don't think we are a minority. Tomorrow Never Dies is one of my favorite Bond movies of all times too. Very underrated movie.

[@Kenshiro3rd]

Same here. Yeah it was silly & over the top. However those things also made it a ton of fun. Also Jonathan Price was an awesome megalomaniacal villain. Also it’s premise was surprisingly prescient.

[@bonghunezhou5051]

This film seems to have a rather generic feel (facsimile galore), with the premise similar to YOLT, and elements drawn from TMWTGG (Asia, martial arts) and A View to a Kill (monopoly, this time of a fledgling service). Seriously, Monica Bellucci should have been cast as Paris, though the substance of the entry would not have been greatly improved even with the future, 50-ish Bond woman in this. (Hatcher has subsequently expressed regret being in this film, though she did rebound with a darker tv comedy called Desperate Housewives.) The train wreck known as Die Another Day is about the only thing that helps bolster the standing of this nondescript (Titanic or Not!) entry.

[@deckard5pegasus673]

I completely disagree with the analysis of the video. For me this is the quintessential Bond film, like all Brosnan Bond films. I thought it was awesome. Bond films are suppose to be over the top and campy with satire. With crazy cartoon gadgets, and crazy over the top villians taking over the world. These films are fun as hell. Compare these to Daniel Craig bond films which are horribly boring, and bland, and take themselves too serious. I cannot stand the new films, basically Jason Bourne rip offs.

[@milosmisic89]

This is my favorite Brosnan movie. The most action-packed of all Bond movies. And I think it aged way better than on release. The critics said that the threat of world domination by fake news was too weak compared to previous Bond bad guys but honestly nowadays that's how world domination is.

[@jambler15]

Yep. Best one with Brosnan. Characters and story are decent. The pretitle scene, the pacing, action, humor, and music are all top-tier Bond.

This film is more relevant today than initially perceived. Manipulation of news media, information, and the public at large. The car chase was in Hamburg was one of the best of any Bond films. I think Brosnan was one of the best actors to play Bond and the producers failed him.

[@rampageclover9788]

Exactly! That's why I rate it higher than Goldeneye....it might actually be the most authentic of the franchise...and the Brosnan era is strongly criticized for lacking that when the gadgets were getting out of control....what you see in that movie isn't far off the mark in terms of what we see today....Elliot Carver was based on Murdoch....

Yeah, if anything, I think the fact that he wasn't too imposing was kind of the point. Carver didn't NEED to be impressive on his own, because the media machine he'd created was so powerful. Plus, I genuinely adore Jonathan Pryce and he's clearly having so much fun hamming it up throughout the movie. :-)

The Daniel Craig 007 movies are just Jason Bourne movies with James Bond as the main character. They're just not that fun and have been stripped of most of the Bond traditions. Why can't a Bond movie just be a Bond movie? The formula was working just fine for about 4 decades before Casino Royale came along. The Craig movies now have jokes making fun of the past movies for their over the top gadgets. What a way to piss on the legacy of the franchise.

Interesting fact: James Bond drives a 2000 BMW 740i sport (it’s an M-tuned 7 series with a 4.4L(?) V8). I bought a used one for my sister’s first car before learning this information, and I was pretty happy to find out it was a Bond car! It was a pretty sweet car too! It had, I believe, redwood in the interior specific to this version of the 7 series, M logos on the steering wheel, shifter, and rims. It also had built in GPS and a CD changer in the trunk, which was pretty ahead of its time in 2000. The M tuning includes lower and stiffer suspension on both front and back, a more aggressive rear differential for acceleration, and I’m pretty sure it also had a BMW version of Audi’s “tiptronic” automatic transmission with the ability to manually shift gears. Without looking it up, I want to say that it had just under 300 horsepower with over 300 torque, which is a nice setup for such a large sedan. I remember for sure that the torque was the higher number. That’s more power than the V8 in a 2000 Ford Mustang GT, although that’s not saying much. That’s also probably more than any V8 from a Chevy sedan (not the Corvette) from that year. The one I owned had a kind of forest green paint job and a tan leather interior with seats that were adjustable about 10-12 different ways via electric motors. Even the headrest had an electric motor to go up and down, and the seat back could be raised and lowered halfway up as well as at the bottom where it joins the seat cushion. It was VERY cool, VERY comfortable, and very quick after my mechanic changed the timing belt, spark plugs, and gaskets. And I got this thing with over 100,000 miles for less than $9,000. Unfortunately, and perhaps predictably, it soon turned into a money pit, so I sold it. It’s still on the road today, but it has some mechanical issues. If you want to acquire one, I recommend finding one with lower mileage, but also make sure you have a few grand in the bank in case some key system craps out. If you can afford the maintenance, this is an EXCELLENT choice for a vehicle. You’ll enjoy driving it very much, as I did for a few months after my sister got something more reliable, before I sold it. Anyway, I found out that this vehicle was in this movie on Car and Driver, I believe, found out more about what made it so special, being a kind of “M7”, and it really made me appreciate it even more. This may not be a very good Bond movie, but the 740i sport is still a Bond car, which is quite special. It was one of the most expensive BMW’s made in 2000, although I believe they made more expensive 7 series with a longer wheel base and/or different engine. These cars would have been heavier and more cumbersome though, without the M-tuning features and rims. So, if you wanted the quickest and sportiest 7 series BMW in 2000, this was it. And it was fully loaded with unique features. It’s easy to see why it was deemed worthy of James Bond. Although, I’d take an Aston Martin any day over a BMW, assuming I had even more money to maintain and fix one of those when the time came.

[@justaregulargamer1860]

Watched this at the cinema tonight, you nailed it with this awesome review.

[@cesarvidelac]

One of the most historically important firearms manufacturer, Walther, sponsored the movie and introduced their new P99 automatic pistol to replace the traditional PPK that was the favorite Bond pistol since the Sean Connery era. There was a special edition of the P99 with serial numbers beginning with 007, around 500 pistols or so.

Perhaps one of the best opening scenes in a bond film hell ever, and rather watch tomorrow never dies on repeat than world is not enough and die another die

[@linksadude1]

I love every bond movie period. But goldeneye holds to my heart the most. Now tomorrow never dies I really enjoy as well and the world is not enough and even die another day. Brosnan is prolly my favorite bond, but I do also love Daniel Craig as well. I’ve been a bond fan since I was 7 or 8 and I’m 31 now and still can enjoy a good bond film. These are good videos friend, thanks for all the info, some of which I didn’t know.

[@srdargo1488]

One of my favorite Bond movies and very pertinent. They underserved Hatcher...but I loved it.

[@cooperwolfe5478]

Yeah I agree. The people that I’ve spoken too say that she was bad in the role but I strongly disagreed with them. I thought she did a really good job. And I’ll say this at least it wasn’t as bad as Denise Richards in The World is Not Enough.

[@roadtonowherefilms]

I'll always have a soft spot for TND as it was the first 007 film I ever saw and made me a super fan.

[@eagleitalia]

I've rewatched it recently and it was *a lot* better than I recall. Maybe because I watched it in isolation, untethered from Goldeneye, and in that context it really stands up. Yep, the plotting is ridiculous, but it's chock full of fantastic action set-pieces and sequences, and Michelle Yeoh is terrific. Brosnan and her fizz and riff off each other brilliantly. It's such an entertaining entry. And compared to what was to follow... A solid 7/10 from me.

[@Megatron2980]

This movie was iconic, the sky diving scene made history and is still used today in movies and video games today.

[@jp3813]

Glad to see many others here consider this to be their favorite Bond film. The combination of Michelle Yeoh, David Arnold, the villain's insane plan, the two awesome vehicle chases, etc... really made the movie flow smoothly for me. The only thing I'd change is the opening song, which should've been "Surrender".

[@edvaira6891]

3:30...SPOT ON about Mask Of Zorro!! One of my ALL-TIME FAVORITES!

[@robvegas9354]

For some reason I missed this at the movies(alot of crazy cool stuff out that year like Face/Off, Starship Troopers, Dantes Peak, the Star Wars reissues, Con Air), got it on VHS and enjoyed it alot. Good times!

[@philmorby2274]

TND is one of the best in the series! Brosnan is at his best here as Bond, Jonathan Pryce is one of the best villains in the series and the return of the formula introducing stamper and Kaufman as fantastic henchman really helps! The score is great, the mixture of humour and action is fantastic! But most of all I love the story, such a different way to go but I think its fantastic! I have been a die hard fan of the series for over 25yrs and this is a great addition to the franchise!

[@ericoutofsight]

Roger Spottiswoode made a great movie in the 80’s called Shoot To Kill with Sydney Poitier. Check that one out.

[@caza728]

With Kirstie Alley, Tom Berenger and the drill instructor Zim from Starship Troopers.

Absolutely love TMD - it's the BMW 750iL that gets my juices flowing. Wanted one since 1997 XD

[@yudhabagaskara98]

Unpopular opinion: tomorrow never dies > goldeneye

[@cooperwolfe5478]

I agree with you. I don’t know why but I’ve always found GoldenEye to be slightly overrated. I know that TND has flaws but I think it’s a more fun movie than GoldenEye. To GoldenEye’s credit, I think the action sequences are better in that that film than in TND, but overall I feel like TND is better in just about every other way. Everything from the music to the title song to the Bond girls and main villain I just like more. If you don’t mind me asking why do you think TND is better than GoldenEye?

[@cooperwolfe5478]

@@yudhabagaskara98 Yeah I agree. Now don’t get me wrong I like when Bond movies get serious at times, heck my favorite Bond of all time is Timothy Dalton, but Brosnan’s Bond I couldn’t buy a super serious Bond. Same with Moore, Moore was great at what he did, but when they tried to make him a dark gritty spy in The Man with the Golden Gun, it didn’t work.

It’s kinda ironic that out of all of Brosnan’s bond films, this one has aged the best. I freaking love this movie!

[@SneakyNinjaDog]

The movie is stangely "less than its parts". Some of the action scenes are amazing as stand alone pieces and Brosnan paired up w Michelle Yeoh is great. The main issue is the villain I feel.

[@randomhuman97]

Generic blond henchman, and weak billionaire powerful maniac- could've been better than what it was. But still enjoyable movie

[@Geronimo_Jehoshaphat]

It's villian is what makes it one of the most pertinent. The oppressively bewildering gaslighting profiteering propagandizing Media machine is the most heinously insidious enemy of critical thought and sensationalistically ingenuis robber of sentient volition ever devised. Oh, and I do mean the crooked as all literal hell mainstream variety, not any nitche upstart. Or perhaps you think everything efficent is suddenly racist, men can scientifically become women, George didn't die from an O.D., Biden won an election with the most votes in the history of the USA, murky incubation mask are healthy and stop viruses, the flu miraculously disappeared, and lockdowns aren't a manufactired crisis to manipulate subjugation and dependence by stripping civil liberties and self sufficience of the middle class for the never satisfactory satiation of state sanctioned soma suckled stipends ushering in a usurped global totalitarian regime contolled by a potpourri of puppeteers rather than any single presider. Sure sure. Carry on. Nothing to notice here. Conspiracies in plan view aren't a theory.

I love this one despite all of the flaws - as is covered in the vid: great action scenes, I actually like the way Brosnan played Bond as almost the American action movie version of himself (I'm able to like it because it wasn't permanent), and Michelle Yeoh absolutely kills it. Probably my favorite Bond girl.

I think this film has the most deleted scenes/cut footage out of all the films in the series, which probably sums up all the writing/directing/cast issues.

[@Gamingnstuff131]

Almost all of them were useless scenes. They wouldn’t have added anything. Most of them featured Ricky Jay’s card throwing. It clearly was able to be filmed but Spottiswoode was convinced it wouldn’t work. What a hack! Spottiswoode was one of the biggest issues of this movie aside from the script issues. An all around mistake to hire the guy with so many bad movies under his belt.

[@spencerkindra8822]

This has always been my favorite Pierce Brosnan James Bond movie. It's got a lot of problems but I just think it's a ton of fun and the action is great if not outlandish haha. And how out of place yet funny is the scene where Bond has to kill Dr. Kaufman in the hotel after Paris's death? It's from another movie haha. Plus Michelle Yeoh was terrific.

[@charlesroyal5125]

Tarrentino directs Brosnan, Hopkins and Sharron Stone would have been the highest grosing bond movie of all time and absolutely epic to the extreme
