22:35 *Calvin.exe is not responding*

22:35 is unintentionally quite hilarious

In ten years I want a video reacting to this video.

Believe me Calvin, Xenia really did enjoy a good squeeze. love, love, love GoldenEye. perfection for the mid-90's and also the fact Q uses my brand of electric wheelchair which i never noticed until a re-watch a few years ago.

I said this in a previous video of an old Calvin react, but the Die Another Day review definitely needs a reaction video.

Calvin it was in your Goldeneye discussion with David Zaritsky that you remembered Bond saying “baby”, not the solo “in-depth” review. But yeah you’re right the subtitles show “believe me”. I always watch films with subtitles on, bc they always come in handy from time to time, instead of having to rewind every time I can’t hear or understand what someone says.

I agree, the shot of James and Talia running from the train is one of the most iconic Bond moments

I'm not going to lie I actually burst out laughing when you exclaimed 'Alec!' 🤣

Whilst watching "A View to a Kill" the other day I noticed a few things that may be relevant here. 1. The Q briefing scene talks about how Zorin is creating microchips that are not susceptible to electro-magnetic blasts - I like the idea that the helicopter in Goldeneye is fitted with Zorin microchips. 2. Although I agree that the Blu-ray subtitles are correct in Goldeneye (Bond clearly says "believe me"), it should be noted that blu-ray subtitles are not always that accurate. In A View To a Kill, at the racetrack, M says "set it up Tibbett" but the subtitles say "set it up David" (which caused me a bit of confusion at first when I was trying to work out who on earth David was). Then when Stacey is screaming "James" on the firetruck, the subtitles say "Jeez". So I wouldn't necessarily take subtitles as the final word.

I remember watching your originals videos when I was 10, 12 years later and your still one of my favourite youtubers mate! all the best!

Thank you for leaving the rephrasing of the "awful lot of the comments" line in the final take...although I know you didn't mean to. As a creator it's great to see the curtain reveal of the behind the scenes, a "hey, that's just like me" moment. That said I am NOT going back and reviewing my original videos. I honor you a KZfaq Viewers' Choice for doing these. Thank you, fine sir.

22:35-22:47, was there like an editing mistake here or is Calvin malfunctioning?

It's Chair. Chair. Once again, absolutely hilarious. These old reviews are wonderful. We pretty well knew what was coming about Goldeneye, but it was still funny. Please keep them coming.

I've always heard it as "Believe me". 😁 Always happy to see some GoldenEye love. I saw it at least 10 times in the cinema back in it's 1995 release. I still think it's great.

Young Calvin bringing an energy even Ms Onatopp would struggle to subdue

16:39 my mind is blown! I've also heard "baby" for all these years and thought it was Bond just being silly with his chat after being so happy they've won. I now hear "believe me" loud and clear and his mouth syncs up so 💡 wow cheers for that 🍸

Dare I ask what you spotted on your lap at 22:35!? It seemed to trigger a temporary malfunction...

I love how when Calvin is talking about something that causes lots of emotions in him (like his old videos) he unbuttons his shirt and looks like he just left a massive brawl or chase.

I remember watching this back in the day, definitely the best of your original Weekly Bond series. It helps that there is so much to gush about with GoldenEye. Cheers!

Time to watch Calvin in pain again

I remember watching this when I first started watching you back in 2019 and it's nice to see it again. Please rewatch your Die Another Day one when the time comes. That one was hilarious!

I actually remember when you introduced Alan Cumming as the movies resident twat. My memory must have really clung onto that line because I thought of it instantly when Dr Obruchev shows up in No Time to Die.

THE ACCENT IS BACK 24:42 to 24:48!!! God I remember so much of the original when I first watched it! The way you described Boris when he first appared and the classic 'oooh Alec!' Remark. Great fun

It always sounded like "believe me" to me!

I had no idea that the beginning part was set in 1986 🤦🏻‍♂️ until this vid of goldeneye.

Calvin should reupload all his older reviews, I remember watching them 6 years ago.

Those comments must have been hilarious for him to repeat it 5 times XD ( Im only joking Calvin, i massively respect your video production and storytelling, i stutter just as much if not more when making my videos :) )

I can relate to the Tay-ner pronunciation of Tanner. I've pronounced SPECTRE as Spec-truh until a couple of years ago. 🤣

I watched all of your old content Calvin, many times. I learned a lot and it helped drive my love for Bond into the stratosphere. You can be a bit (entertainingly) harsh on your old self and old reviews, haha - it was great to watch you get a laugh at your old joke! 😂

Great retrospective as always Calvin! I remember watching this review years ago and for sure thought with the reference to the stingers not being used that you would put Dalton's quote from LTK "WHAT ABOUT THE STINGERRRRRS!!!!?!" overlaying your commentary.

funny how calvin cringes so hard at these videos when they hold a lot of nostalgia value for me, and i'm sure lots of others. i have many fond memories of watching them circa 2012 when i was really getting into the series for the first time. they definitely played a part in me becoming a bond fan, and for that i'll always cherish them.

This was fun and interesting. Thanks for doing this. Such a change of hair styles back then. Favorite line is the scene with Robert Coltrane - who's strangling the cat? hee hee

For you only live twice they spent $1 million on the set for the spy who loved me they built a soundstage and for goldeneye they built a studio

I love your videos keep them up

These reaction videos are awesome because I remember watching them too. Years after you did them but when I first found your channel from the bond video game playthroughs I watched those years ago so funny to see them again and your reaction.

This is really fun to see the comparison of two yous side by side. It now is a peak into another era!

Regarding the Serra soundtrack; it fits the movie; but it's among my least favorite to listen to on its own. For that honor insert every John Barry soundtrack. With apologies to Arnold and all the others Barry's music is just the best. I don't have to be actually watching the movie while enjoying his creations. And it's amazingly easy to identify the movie and scene for each track.

Love to hear you talk about "The Worst Songs of 007", both opening and closing songs.

Thanks, Calvin, whatever problems of style you had, that held up very well.

To be fair to you, Calvin, I always thought Bond said "baby" at the end.

Great video! I liked this one particularly because you weren't as mean to Younger Calvin as you've been in some of the others. I agree with pretty much everything said by both Calvins - the musical score is VERY unusual but I think it really works in the film.

And, it’s funny, a lot of those comments I still stand by

In an empirical yardstick, Pierce is "the best" - in that each of his entries raked in more moolah than the previous 007 entry, even the critically mauled Die Another Day.

While I like "snarky" when it's justified, I also really like positivity when it's justified.

He says “believe me”, not “baby”

I always end up trying to count the clicks Boris does with the pen. Imagine if Bond miss counted and the pen didn't explode.

Love these

At least you 86ed the Justin Bieber hair. That’s literally this generation’s mullet.

Well a big thank you to younger Calvin for making me going into a giggling fit every time I think of James Bond calling a woman Baby. Something I never considered before, and now it keeps entering my mind at random times.

I feel like I need to excuse myself too and make a playlist for these.

These videos where you reassess your old reviews are like Samuel Beckett's 'Krapp's Last Tape' for the KZfaq era.

18:35 very good point man, i remember hearing it back in 2011 too just thought I'd say too, I'm going to start Collecting the trading cards for "GOLDENEYE" by Graffiti trading card company. They are still fairly cheap so look into it when you can man

Calvin! Just wanted to say thank you for putting out the content you do. Growing up in the 90s with Brosnan's Bond was fantastic; and I thoroughly enjoy going down Bond memory lane with you. I'll leave you with a hot take: Spectre is Craig's 3rd best Bond film. 🙊

I know what you mean about that time being "snarky" particularly "Filmbrain" etc hilarious 🤣

Young Calvin was largely on the money, his style was a bit cringe but that was just the tone of KZfaq at the time so he can't be blamed. Don't honestly think there'd be much harm done if these were still live tbh

I have a similar experience with this flim in that my opinion of it has pretty much stayed consistent since I first saw in 1995. It's just near perfect combination all the Bond elements mixed up right.

One thing I’ve always wondered about the opening scene when he bungee jumps off the top of the dam. Given the angle of the dam, wouldn’t he slam into the wall when he reached the end of the bungee?

16:30 It's definetely 'believe me', and I'm not even a native, I'm german. I don'd need subtitles for that. But what has Bond said to Onatop at their first meeting (in the english version)? "On the top" oder "Ohne Top" (german)? In the German version he definetely sais "Ohne Top".

Gooldeneye is the best James Bond movie ever seen

14:59 ... XD Like OH Mr. Bond from skyfall.

You sit on it and can't take it With you? Five characters it must be Stool 😁

It’s so obviously: “Believe me!” 😂😅

The old video is actually pretty damn good Calvin. And apart, from a different hairstyle you look exactly the same? Are you really Dorian Gray? 😅 yes Golden Eye is a fabulous bond film. Everything works so darn well in it. I am still Shocked by the strength of what is basically a sex scene for a 12 a rated film. Your review, just like Golden Eye itself, was right on the money.

22:35 Calvin.. A glitch in the matrix?? Lol

Quit sitting on the fence Calvin: was it funny, and do you still stand by an awful lot of those comments?! 🤣

The things you liked about the film still hold up the things you didn't like do as well apart from the "Baby" reference all those years of being annoyed for nothing. The score is okay it works as audio effects rather than music for me. Love it in the film outside of the film only 2 tracks get played on the soundtrack album. It's all a bit ear rapey. 😂

Waiting for rest Brosnan films review! Especially Die Another Day review remake

Ah the days when you were young and floppy fringes were a thing 😉😬👍

Loved it.

For so many years I thought he was saying "that name is definitely UNDER suggestive eyebrow raise" not "has earned". The last ten years feel like a lie

You ought to review OSS 117: Cairo Nest of Spies

22:35 is just hilarious 😂

You say... "A lot of those comments I still stand by." ...four times in a row. A glitch in the Matrix. 🤭

Wasn't there gonna be a nightfire review last year?

Hi Calvin..are you ever going to review the BBC radio bond episodes?

The worst thing about the old videos?! The hair!! LOOOOL

You’re awkward reactions to the Xenia sex scene is always very funny. And yeah for a Bond film is does push things rather far.

I wish you still acted like this lol 😂

Alec would be in his early 50s if the timeline was correct, despite the fact that Sean Bean was 35 years old when he played him.

are you going to react to these reacting-videos in future?

"believe me is definitely there" if you listen for it.

When did you suddenly become fit? Lol. Always been a fan of your videos.

and it's funny an awful lot I luv these! 👍

To be fair, reviewers at the time usually allowed themselves a scant few favorites that they could have almost nothing but praise for. Often they were used in comparison to criticize other, less perfect films. While I still you were one of the good ones of the time, (and still today) it wasn’t that far off from the norm IMHO.

Surely people don't mean to bash Brosnan, but rather his latter films?

You forgot some editing around 22.30 Calvin ;)

You sit on it but you can’t take it with you,I would of fought toilet

Forgot to edit in some jumpcuts on this one i see? 😛Not complaining. I think its better 👍

great video

Ooooooooooohhh... ALEC!!!

C H A I R

I thought Goldeneye was great. I loved Judi Dench as M. I did think Tanner could’ve had a bigger role and became underused. I don’t think the character was in every film either 🤔🤷🏼‍♂️.

I like Bond funko pops cool😎

6:35 😆😆

Calvin's let himself ago over the years.. can't even be bothered with the bow tie..

he says BELIVE ME! not BABY!

Can you please redo your old Sean connery review videos, because they are quite old and the mic isn't as good. Please and thank you!

Tainer is my last name!

⚘😍..

😂
