“A Terrorist Arms Bazaar on the Russian Border” hilariously packs a lot of information for a single line-description of a setting. Well done! From Tomorrow Never Dies (1997)
The above is a real subtitle from a Bond movie, but the below are not. 🙂
You Only Live Twice (1967)
Moonraker (1979)
Casino Royale (2006)
Octopussy (1983)
Carver really must have gotten underneath 007’s skin to make him want to take warm Smirnoff Vodka shots. 😯
This scene from Tomorrow Never Dies (1997) has to be one of the weakest a Bond villain has ever looked. Who signed off on having the end of this scene? Cringe!
I’ve always thought that Elliot Carver (Jonathan Pryce) Tomorrow plot in TND is one of the most realistic/plausible villain plots of the entire series – controlling information and the media is a very powerful thing (hat-tip Elon Musk/Twitter). I’ll give credit to the double-entendre anchorman quote to Carver, but his end “imitation” of Wai-Lin’s (Michelle Yeoh) fighting skills is nothing short of the “pathetic” word he elicits himself. Gross!

Cannot abort the missile aboard the HMS Chester! From Tomorrow Never Dies (1997)
This is one of those frustrating James Bond movie chases where there are a hundred different scenarios where it could have been stopped or made less dangerous by some better decision making. For starters, why did the baddies here decide to use their mode of transportation as part of their strategy to kill Bond? Surely they knew, and would of course eventually find out, they had a death wish if anything disturbs the helicopter rotors.
And why doesn’t Bond and Wai Lin just stop? Get off the bike, disappear in the crowd?
I may be biased since TND was the first James Bond movie I saw in theaters, but the remote control BMW scene is nothing but fun from start to finish. I distinctly remember smiling ear-to-ear just as Brosnan does at the end of the scene, and the theater’s collective ooh’s and aah’s as each new gadget appeared on screen. This was nothing short of action movie magic, and is a top-tier action scene in all of the James Bond movies. Who wouldn’t want to drive a car (BMW, nonetheless) remotely and look as cool as James Bond doing it?!
