Q gives Bond the wrong watch

Love that the electronic bleeps at the start of First Light seem to be a nod to the opening of Dr. No...

Taffin Never Dies

Love the way Brosnan's debut in GoldenEye visually recalls Moore's in Live and Let Die during the airport sequence in the cinematography and costuming

we're not science fiction we're in fact science fact

Actually ended up restoring this original version of the "Bond, James Bond" line to the film when I did a Diamonds Are Forever recut a few years ago! I agree that the trailer delivery is much better, and I genuinely have no idea why they edited it for the final film...

If John Barry had scored GoldenEye

Anyone else a fan of when Pierce Brosnan starts doing his Exposition Voice™?

Did you know this scene at Vesper's grave was originally longer, with more returning faces from Bond's past? Here, for the first time, is the full, extended version:

Always loved how absurdly incompetent James Bond is in Goldfinger

Peter Hunt may have created the first James Bond shitpost while editing From Russia with Love "During the [preview] screening, when Bond attempts to open the briefcase, Hunt cut in a sequence where there is an actual explosion obliterating Bond, M, and Q"

GoldenEye deleted Q Branch scene restored

Every James Bond film described by Peep Show

Extending the Tomorrow Never Dies pretitles with deleted footage and DavidGArnold's full White Knight score

What if Orson Welles' Le Chiffre was in Casino Royale 2006...?

The answer, perhaps surprisingly, is that Tomorrow Never Dies is the first film in the series in which Bond does not get knocked unconscious...! Congrats to those that got it right! Bond brain damage montage (ft. Calvin Dyson cameo):

Throughout The Man with the Golden Gun, John Barry gives Scaramanga a menacing, low piano theme (the "his eye may be..." part of the title song) But in the climactic fun house sequence, it's now the Bond theme being played on the low piano - with Scaramanga the one being hunted

If the Brosnan Bond era has an overall theme, it's villains' personal narratives and the perception of truth in a world increasingly obfuscated by technology I'm not sure contemporary audiences fully appreciated its relevance but it's why the era still holds up so well for me!

Ahh the French champagne has always been celebrated by the James Bond series for its excellence

Feel this intro would work better with a different host...

Signature Pierce Brosnan Glasses Manoeuvre

A View to a Kill: the original ending

Brosnan-era Bond quotes I reference regularly:

If On Her Majesty's Secret Service ended like Moonraker

Top 10 non-Bond Pierce Brosnan weird accent line deliveries (because people kept complaining about the lack of Taffin)

Die Another Day but it's 007 Legends
