He would have to spend insane amounts of time there doing normal work, too. I like to imagine that all the years it takes between film releases are filled with 007 going to the office every day. The missions are a rare change of pace if this man were actually real. Imagine the phonecalls, the meetings, the foreign affairs papers, the social media coverage... Man; Pierce's Bond would have had a WAY easier time doing all this shit. Look how much additional work he would have to do with his twitter account and Mi6's media representation and... ugh...

Why does Bond call R 'Q' at the end.

Notice that as he's going down the stairs he calls him "Quartermaster". When Desmond Llewelyn died they needed to replace the character. So they promoted the John Cleese character and had this scene so that they could show Bond bestowing the nickname "Q".

He was shown behind his desk in his office in ON HER MAJESTY's SECRET SERVICE

seen November Man? PB is seen closing his subordinates file after a mission. They oughta be making a report after every mission, hence the cubicle/cabin

i love it lol nothing shows up

I thought "so this is where they keep the old relics"and "still better than looking cleverer than you are" would be in the running.

And the “oooh dear, do you want to continue?” In the fencing scene always gets me. I guess Sean Connery will always be the Bond everyone looks upto but there’s too much in his films you wouldn’t get away with today. For me Brosnan played the part brilliantly, got the balance of womanising and aggression spot on. Daniel Crag was good but he always strayed on the anger and recklessness side too much for me. That said Casino Royale and Skyfall were both brilliant.

"....I wish I could make YOU vanish...." Second best line lol.

Not really a high achievement to be the best line in the worst "Bond" ever made, to be fair non of the Brosnan "Bonds" should be considered as canon!

006 was triple H

aha ok! "The World is Not Enough" was my first James Bond movie; I saw it with my dad when I was nine years old. Thanks for pointing this detail out! Just saw Spectre with my parents last night, twenty-five years old now :)

I bet Q just made duplicates. And stuff like the shoe are souvenirs.

"Hey Q, I was wondering if you could make me a pair of these" Years later: The Kingsman oxford shoes are born

TheSmithersy Mementos, trophies, souvenirs from past missions. If you've seen "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" He's collected all kinds of things. The rebreather from "Thunderball" was there as well as here, Red Grant's watch is there too as well as in a deleted scene in "A View To A Kill".

TheSmithersy The case had a tear gas canister for if someone opened it incorrectly. I assumed it had been upgraded with a bomb between films.

You really think Q only made one of every gadget he ever gave Bond?

Better a beautiful old car than an ugly boring new car......

It wasn’t old when the film was made 😂

Andrew Chapman Honestly, I don't think turning a car invisible is that out there. It's a whole lot less creative than a pen grenade or an inflatable snow jacket to survive an avalanche.

Well we have vr now

@@UltimaKeyMaster The Japanese achieved the feat partially with an invisibility cloak, so the tech is out there. (For those who like to overthink things and ask "but what about the windows": make the "invisibility mode" bring screens in their stead where camera feeds would be projected)

@Alex Lindh That was an excellent game, definitely felt like an extra Brosnan film. :)

Calvin Maynard oh yes my personal favourite bond who got cursed with bad directors

@Paul Daniels so why did so many people slate it when it first came out, if it's just Daniel Craig fans?

He was probably the most natural Bond - the one that could come in off the street and play 007 straight away. Connery and Lazenby had to be groomed, Dalton and Craig found their way through Fleming’s works, and more was probably the next most natural, although he was probably the funniest with the proper bon mot at the right time.

I liked Pierce on Remington Steele, and I was pissed when NBC screwed him when he was supposed to replace (I think) Roger Moore. Remington Steele had been cancelled, but NBC wanted to do like a 2-hour special finale to wrap up the story, so they wouldn't release him and Timothy Dalton got the gig. Glad Pierce go to do it anyway. I'm not a Bond fan at all, but I did see Die Another Day (hard to argue w/ Pierce and Halle Berry) 🙂

Connery - superb. Lazenby - ideal but the humour killed him. Moore - more bloody humour than action. Dalton - no comment. Brosnan - didn’t like him in RS, didn’t like him in JB. Craig - a worthy successor to Connery. Connery delivered one-liners but they were without emotion. He truly lived up to the idea of Bond being a blunt object used to dispatch enemies. It wasn’t until Craig took on that mantle that I saw that similar blunt object. I believe Lazenby could have done as well, if the script had been better. Moore never really left The Saint image behind him or The Persuader image with Curtis. It’s only my opinion but Craig and superb scripts rebooted a franchise that was heading the same direction as Doctor Who did in 1989. I’m interested to see who will take over from Craig.

I agree 100% and id add he is the sexiest along with Sean Connery of course. Sean Connery and Pierce Brosnan will always be my two favorite Bond actors, they were the best in the role

@@sarizonana i agree

@Fred J3 I can see it already; 007 Death Wish 7

@@sarizonana agreed 100%. Connery and Brosnan were the best Bonds.

Picture a world where you get Both Bronson and Connery as bond in the same movie “And who are you?” “We are Bond, James Bond”

Which means Q programmed a James Bond sex simulator into them.

Tis but a scratch

Nice catch.

Yep same!

Yeah Timothy Dalton and the OG "Q" (Desmond Llewelyn) were good in The Living Daylights (1987). Both the toys and action scenes (pre-CGI) were badass!

Worst. Bond-Movie. Ever.

XX Uncultured swine.

XX you don't even know whst you are talking about. Pierce's Bond movies are right up there with the best of the other Bond movies. The worst and most overrated is Goldfinger where Sean Connery almost gets sliced in half by a laser. Plot was badly written sshiite

The Aston from Goldfinger was a DB5, not Vanquish.

Ditto! I definitely would've bought one! They could've kept all of the 'lethally' offensive stuff! Just let me have the ice spike tyres, the Armoured plating, and the camouflage!

Did I say the Aston from Goldfinger was a Vanquish?

+Warsilver True, but I feel like we may be getting back to that after Daniel Craig is done, depending on who is directing the next one, and who we get to play Bond. To be fair, though, we DID at least GET Q in one of HIS. Granted, he's not how we expected, but at least we GOT him back! If Daniel Craig DOES INDEED come back for one more, I feel like Skyfall (where he got gadgets, but barely used them) and Spectre (where he used at least one, as to when in the movie he does, I won't spoil it for those who haven't seen it yet, but for those who have, myself included, you may already know) are the build-up to THAT one, where he actually uses them a bit more like Bond does in THESE. Think about it. It kind of makes sense, at least to me.

+Warsilver The way we like it. Not a Jason Bourne style, but 007!! Same with Roger moore, i think Brosnan is the greatest Bond and in someway had the same charming, witty and smooth style sir Roger had. Brosnan is the best Bond! Followed by sir Roger. Dalton and Craig (good bond but still least favorite) look boring compared to them. Lazenby and Connery deserve third and fourth place.

Boring? Dalton was the best after Connery.

Warsilver I love old and new.

The 007 films ended with Brosnan in my book. Skyfall would've counted too had he been in it instead. (Craig just doesn't work for me, looks & sounds too much like a cross between a russian and a bruce willis ripoff)

@@jimtaylor294 Funny, considering that Craig were one the closest iterations of Ian Fleming's Bond.

@eating sugar no papa Try reading Ian Fleming's novels.

@eating sugar no papa In terms of characterization, I mean, not only physical appearances. Besides, Craig portrayed a younger Bond as opposed to Dalton who was the continuation of Connery, Lazenby and Moore.

@eating sugar no papa All of the Bonds from Connery up until Brosnan is the same person.

The arrival at the ice palace was quite good as well. And the car chase was one of the very best…

I liked the invisible V12 Vanquish. The worst parts of DAD were the lightning suit and Halle Berry.

Yet no-one questions the amphibious Lotus Esprit from The Spy Who Loved Me which in reality is impossible to produce whereas the technology is available to produce an invisible Aston Martin.

@@anbrjd ha ha yeah. To be honest the only Roger Moore 007 film I like is For Your Eyes Only. The rest just seem like Carry on Bomd

It was the 20th Bond film and it came out in the same year the Dr. No turned 40 so they went all in on the references to previous films

Oh jeez! For a brief second, it's 10:30pm on Sunday night, on WTTW Channel 11 in Chicago, IL. And Monty Python's Flying Circus, is on the Air! "And now for something completely different, A Man with 3 'Cheeks'!" (A voice offstage...) "He can't come!"

He was signed for the Dalton films. Broccoli saw him during roger moore period and laid eyes on him for Bond. He was so charming in his late 20s back then. Imagine him doing Daltons. ❤️

@@mrd9908 haha even Daniel Craigs bond had cheesy moments.

The world is not enough is my personal favourite Bond film ever.

Geoff Dick.. Die another day was the weakest.. In my opinion

Honestly, it's the charm and existence of films from the Brosnan era such as Goldeneye and The World Is Not Enough that made it so relevant. M literally calls Bond "a dinosaur." His boss went from cigarette smoking man to this legit smart and somewhat badass elderly woman. They made it a point to show while he may seem out of place, he is right where he needs to be. Then they did the same with M. Right into die another day-it's opening and whole "he is messed up/damaged" scenes before he basically self-rehabs is great. All the gritty talk, Craig just went through that in another form in the next film. Honestly, Die Another Day is better than tomorrow never dies to me-the latter's 2nd half like anything after "the doctor" was just really boring to me. Weakest bond no way-c'mon we've survived literal filler, a writer's strike film, lazenby not bond even in a film with a good plot, volcano lair, a unofficial but existent bad thunderball remake, and a space adventure.

@@LSSYLondon Totally agree. Getting M (Judi Dench) involved in the overall plot the way they did, coupled with the almost horrific take on Stockholm syndrome with Electra, set if off. If Denise Richards being cast a scientist was a bit of a put-off, look no further than the brilliance of Robert Carlyle as Renard, a gorgeous opening song easy top 5, and Bond's level of compassion going up more than usually ever for someone he didn't really have feelings for. Oh, and one last thing-the Russian mobster is actually given a completed arc from golden-eye. A++++++++++++++++

I've notice the fans have lighten up a bit on The World is Not Enough. I personally think Goldeneye is his best.
