Tamahori directed by most favorite Bond prologue. And was no slouch in the remainder.
The prologue was excellent. A shane the script for the rest of the film was trash.
Everything went downhill once the invisible car was introduced. It became another movie entirely. Almost like it was studio mandated
Exec-It’s too boring. What if the car turned invisible and the villains lair was made of ice. The villain also wears a body armor that shoots force lightning. Bond cgi surfs on a ice roadsters door
I remember people complaining about Bond escaping in the ice roadsters and then having to go back into the ice castle. That’s movie cliche 101

I always saw the first hour in Cuba, Hong Kong and North Korea as the Connery homage, then London, Iceland and the DMZ as the Moore homage
I demand multiple Barry Nelson homages now now, with no cute allusions to AIRPORT or THE SHINING.
TIL that Bob Anderson did the sword fights in Die Another Day.
Then I remembered that Bob Anderson did the sword fights for Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. So today I remembered that Bob Anderson doesn't fix everything.
Bob Anderson's films include: Highlander, The Princess Bride, The Three Musketeers (1993), The Mask of Zorro, Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl and The Lord of the Rings film trilogy. And also doubled David Prowse as Darth Vader. So basically almost all of my favorite sword fights ever that are not in The Mark of Zorro.
And MOONRAKER! He was also a stunt performer of From Russia with Love! (This is quite the rabbit hole.)

Great retrospective here on the making of Goldeneye:
30 years ago this weekend.
Bond was back.
Bond was back.
If I’m honest, and not being influenced by which ones I’m “supposed” to like best, GoldenEye is probably my second favorite Bond movie (surpassed only by The Living Daylights).
the movie that had the greatest bond main villian sidekick boris aka mr i am invinsible
That's really interesting. Good to know Tim was still part of the conversation till quite late on.
Although it pretty much belies the story that it was his decision to quit (which was never convincing, IMHO).
I guess it could have been a factor but he was contracted for three wasn't he so guessing if they'd insisted he'd have had to do a third
Pinch of salt time as Coming Soon quotes The Telegraph as tipping Callum Turner as a Bond contender. Seems based on very little to me, though he was pretty good as an ex-soldier in a tv show called The Capture and DC showed that 007 doesn’t have to be played by the traditional tall, dark and handsome sort of leading man.

007: New Favored James Bond Actor Emerges for Denis Villeneuve Movie
A new rumor suggests that an actor may officially be in the front running to be the next James Bond for Denis Villeneuve's upcoming movie.

I'm already in full support of this idea.
The orchestral version of Houdini from her Albert Hall Concert is an example of what she could pull off.
