Christopher Walken as Max Zorin in A View To A Kill (1985)
Mathieu Amalric as Dominic Greene in Quantum Of Solace (2008)
Quantum Of Solace (2008) is generally not the preferred Daniel Craig James Bond movie. I would tend to agree that (aside from the blasphemous No Time To Die) it’s one of Craig’s weakest overall performances as 007. But as with any James Bond movie, there are always bright spots!
Without question, Quantum‘s opening sequence car chase is one of these bright spots. The first 30 seconds of my theater experience watching this opening sequence on an IMAX screen with a packed audience is one of my most memorable James Bond theater experiences. I had goosebumps it was so awesome!
57 years ago today, the first James Bond movie, Dr. No premiered.

“James Bond Will Return” is a signature phrase splashed at the end of (almost) every James Bond movie that promotes 007’s never-give-up/against-all-odds attitude and shows a sense of pride in the world’s longest running movie series.
Throughout the years, it has been used to reveal the movie title of the forthcoming James Bond movie, albeit sometimes in error. It has also not been used at all. Some quick facts:
- It does not appear at the end of any of the unofficial movies (Casino Royale (1954), Casino Royale (1967) and Never Say Never Again (1983)
- It does not appear in Dr. No or Thunderball
- It has been bland with just words (The World Is Not Enough), has had a fancy backdrop (The Living Daylights), and has had a custom image to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the James Bond movies (Skyfall)
- The incorrect next movie is listed at the end of The Spy Who Loved Me as For Your Eyes Only – the next movie is in fact Moonraker (thanks, Star Wars)
- The title of A View To A Kill is incorrect at the end of Octopussy, adding “From” to the beginning of the title
