Does anybody remember playing Goldeneye on N64?

Pierce Brosnan did a movie called The Thomas Crown Affair which is about billionaire who gets bored and decides to become a thief and is chased by a female investigator. Both of you would really, REALLY love that movie!!

Xenia’s killing move (the leg squeeze) has a basis in her fighter pilot experience. Fighter pilots use their legs to force blood into their head and stay conscious during intense G forces. This explains her great strength and ability to suffocate her victims.

RIP To Tina Turner who did the Goldeneye opening song. And Robbie Coltrane who played Valentin Dmitrovich Zukovsky

Still one of the best Bond movies, the tank chase is just epic

You guys didn't show it on KZfaq, but I love the part when Q yells "Don't touch that. It's my lunch!"

In my opinion, Brosnan was THE GUY that was BORN to play James Bond. He embodied the best of both Connery and Moore's portrayals. It's just unfortunate that he didn't have better films. GoldenEye was his best.

“She always loved a good squeeze.” That line cracks me up every time.

Alec: For England, James? James: No…for N64

If you're lookin for another pierce brosnan movie to get into, The Thomas Crown Affair is a classic. The chemistry between him and Rene Russo is pretty legit.

I saw GoldenEye on opening night. There was no social media back then, but the hype around it was immense and it delivered.

You ask if the films was big in the 60s and 70's? The answer is Yes. The series took off instantly and became a britsh institution. The 007 theme song by Barry, the big singers of the day, the gadgets, the cars, the women, the villains. It all was a part of maybe the best franchise on earth. And a good way to see all the nice spots around the world too. 😊

"Patreon, like, subscribe, your mom!" Last part caught me so off-guard 😂

Brosnan came to the Bond universe with a bang with this classic movie. Great script, a villain that was on the same level as James, and a new Bond ready to carry on the legacy.

Brosnan was always the guy who seemed the most like James Bond to me. I grew up with the Connery and Moore movies and remember when the Dalton films came out I really enjoyed them but seeing Brosnan as Bond felt like the most perfect casting ever.

The Bond movie with the "Diamonds in somebody's face" is Die Another Day with Brosnan in his last Bond movie, and Halle Berry as the main Bond girl.

I grew up with Brosnan as Remington Steele. IIRC after that series he was who many thought would be the next Bond but it went to Dalton. Brosnan was tied into some sort of contract that he couldn't get out of and missed out. So, after Dalton's films there were a lot of us that felt like he finally got the role that he was meant to play.

The first of the post-Cold War Bond films. Pierce Brosnan played Bond as an agent with ice water in his veins. His facial expressions are stone faced when he is in a fight. Calm and collected. Sean Bean played the villain unlike any other Bond faced. Who would be more dangerous than a former colleague with the same skill set? Xenia is played by Famke Janssen, an actress from the Netherlands. Met her once. Lovely lady and very nice. Some of her other movies include the X-Men movies and the Taken films.

Pierce Brosnan was my ideal Bond. He nailed everything; the looks, the charms and the ruthlessness. This film was revitalizing the series, very successfully. My dad worked for our country's BMW dealership, so we always got free tickets to the Brosnan movies with their BMWs.

The theme song to this movie is the most James Bond theme song that there ever has been! Tina Turner kills it!

Natalya is my favorite bond girl, and Trevelyan is my favorite villain. This film is such a classic, the action is so gritty and that bungee jump stunt at the start of the film was the real thing!

Cassie: Is she giving him a purple nurple!? 🤣 You guys are comedy gold, don't ever change!

I love this movie. 006 is possibly my favorite antagonist to Bond. The fact that he's not only a traitor to everything James believes in, but someone that he thought of as a close friend, makes it feel all the more personal. Even that brief exchange before he drops him sells just how personally he took that betrayal. "For England James?" "No. For me." *Everything* Bond does is for his country, so the fact that he saves Trevelyan just so *he* can be the one to drop him really sells that anger.

Some lovely deep cuts in the theme lyrics - "You'll never know how I watched you from the shadows as a child/You'll never know how it feels to get so close and be denied" - Brosnan being the first Bond *fan* to *become* Bond, having credited seeing Goldfinger in the cinema as a child as what made him want to be an actor, and having been cast in The Living Daylights only to have to withdraw when the producers of his TV show refused to release him from his contract.

The stunt performers set SEVERAL world records with this movie, the most famous was was the leap off the dam, but the flying leap to the plane was also done practically

When I was a kid, tomorrow never dies had just come out in the cinema. I was walking past the Aston Martin headquarters, when a fancy DB7? Aston pulls out, sitting in the driving seat is Pierce Brosnan, I shouted "It's Pierce Brosnan!". He turned, smiled, stuck his thumb up at me and then pulled away. Was so cool seeing 007 drive an Aston in person! I mean, I still talk about it 26 years later hahah

Dame Judy Dench, such a perfect M for her run in the Bond series. The actress playing Miss Moneypenny is ironically actress Samantha Bond. She's also great in a number BBC series like Midsomer Murders.

In the intro song, the ladies aren't digging for gold, they're demolishing statues of Lenin, the communist dictator and Soviet icon. The scene is metaphorical, representing the collapse of the Soviet Union. This was the first Bond movie to come out in the post Cold War period if I'm not mistaken.

The theme for this is my favourite Bond theme. Tina Turner hit it out of the park. The intro is representative of the collapse of the Soviet Union which had only happened a few years before

I was lucky enough to watch GoldenEye in theaters back on Thanksgiving in 1995. It was my first Bond movie, and set the standard for all the others. I've seen every movie in the series, but I always come back to this. And of course, I played the video game extensively. I love the theme song; the lyrics are sultry and mysterious, and then give way to madness. Trevelyan is one of my favorite Bond villains, despite wasting his _numerous_ opportunities to kill Bond. The set up and payoff for the exploding pen is easily one of the best bits the series. I also visited the area near where they filmed the helicopter theft in Monaco nearly a decade ago. Let's see, what else... During the street race at the beginning, the Aston Martin and Ferrari actually collided for real, and had to be repaired overnight. Famke Janssen had Brosnan slam her into the wall for real in the bath house scene for the sake of authenticity; she later discovered that she'd broken 2 ribs. Pierce Brosnan injured his finger during the ladder stunt at the end. The final fight between Bond and Trevelyan was deliberately choreographed as an homage to Bond VS Red Grant in From Russia With Love. Bond's car got an impressive introduction, but was barely seen later because they decided to cut out a car chase scene in Cuba. Speaking of which, the final location was shot at the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico; it was also featured in the movie Contact a couple of years later. I'd always wanted to see it, but I'll never get the chance since the place collapsed in 2020. There's much more, but I'm sure other people will post about them.

Goldfinger, essentially, single handedly launched the secret agent film craze of the 1960s. In doing so, it established the basic formula of all such films which followed.

Interesting that you said Brosnan was the first Bond to bring something new to the role, since that is not how many 007 fans think of him. His performance seemed like he was trying to emulate his predecessors, whereas Timothy Dalton in particular really tried to make the character more serious and accurate to the books. Even Roger Moore was very different to Connery, playing the character much more for laughs.

The girls: we didn’t like that awful Onatopp woman. The boys: umm…yeah, so she was incredible.

For sure one of the best films in the franchise, an amazing first outing for Pierce Brosnan, two of the best Bond girls(Xenia & Natalya), and one of the best licensed video games of all time. I also enjoyed the new Miss Moneypenny here as well, as no one can replace the OG, but I felt Samantha Bond was a great fit along side Pierce's Bond. I've always enjoyed the Bond Girls who didn't need saving, and held their own, and Natalya was one of the best in that regard. And Xenia was easily one of the most memorable villains man or woman in the entire series as well. Just a standout Bond film, for sure a top 5 in the franchise, maybe even top 3.

Rest In Power, Queen Tina Turrner. Legendary. Iconic. Inspirational.

Pierce was the Bond that I was waiting for after he was forced to go back to TV due to a episode commitment that NBC enforced due to the rumors of Brosnan being cast as Bond and exploited it to have one more season of Remington Steele. His arrival was was worth the wait.

I know you didn't spend much time on it, but just so anyone curious knows: the dam stunt was very real. The stunt was performed by British stuntman Wayne Michaels jumping off the Contra Dam in Switzerland. The jump was voted as best movie stunt of all time in a 2002 Sky Movies poll. In this day and age of CGI and over-the-top compositing and editing, a real stunt like that goes widely unappreciated.

Fun fact: The American marine/CIA guy was Joe Don Baker, who was previously the arms dealer in Living Daylights. Producers must like him.

My father loved the Bond films, so I got introduced them when I was young in the Moore era. I do remember when Moore retired from the role and Brosnan was suggested the fans didn't think he had enough physical presence to play Bond, and Dalton got the nod at least for a little while. The first Bond film Dr. No came in 63(?) and I believe it was considered a hit, happened to be the first "real"/adult book I ever read. When Skyfall came out, I took my dad to see it and I think it was the last films my father ever saw in a theater. So Bond was something of a family thing for me.

This was my very first Bond movie and it still holds a special place in my heart. Absolutely love the theme song.

The raven haired crazy woman was played by Famke Janssen. She co-starred wtih Liam Neeson in the movie "Taken" as his ex-wife. That's a good movie too - the daughter gets 'taken' :) Also played Jean Grey in the X-Men movies.

Yes! The singing cowgirl is Minnie Driver!! 😂

The exploding pen scene at the end is so tense! Love this movie. It’s so raw and visceral.

It's more entertaining watching you guys than paying attention to the movies. You're both genuine & adorable.

This was my first Bond film. As a kid my mind was blown, its been my favourite Bond film since. Brosnan will always be Bond to me.

Famke Janssen in this awakened some things for a lot of people XD

It's basically like this. Whatever actor was playing James Bond when people were younger and that was their first experience with James Bond, then that actor is that person's favorite James Bond. It should have been Roger Moore for me, but our mom would let us stay up late on Sundays to watch the Sean Connery ones before Roger Moore started them (or during, but we didn't go to the movies a lot) so I had already watched all of the Sean Connery ones about 4 times each before I saw any with Roger Moore.

Pierce Brosnan was already very famous from his tv show ' Remington Steele'. It was very popular here in Jamaica back in the day. Being James Bond was just icing on the cake. He's one of my favourite actors of all time.

Tom Hardy is 45. In their first Bond films Sean Connery was 31, Roger Moore was 45, George Lazenby was 29, Timothy Dalton was 40, Pierce Brosnan was 41, and Daniel Craig was 38. You’re welcome. 😁

Golden Eye is considered in the top 3 Bond films of all time pretty much by MANY people. It's not only a great Bond film, but a great film in general for non bond fan movie goer. Hope you ladies enjoyed!!

As a huge fan of Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings, It was a pleasant surprise to see Hagrid and Boromir in a James Bond film 😂😂😂

Pierce Brosnan also played Phileas Fogg in a pretty good adaptation of "Around the World in 80 Days." Very fun, light-hearted period piece. Saruman ( Sir Christopher Lee) has a supporting role.

Easily one of my top 5 Bond films. Pierce Brosnan was born for this role

Goldeneye, Casino Royale (2006), Goldfinger, and The Living Daylights are my favorite Bond movies.

I always loved that gag with Xenia with legs that could crush watermelons and James finds the guy's body soon after with a smile on his face

Great reaction vid as always. As a huge James Bond fan it's cool to see you guys watch it for the first time. However, how did neither of you realize Zukovsky was Hagrid from Harry Potter?! (Robbie Coltrane)

Jean Gray from X Men and Hagrid from Harry Potter both in this movie. Pierce had the most Good Bond movies even the one a lot of people hated

Kassie, fun fact. It was only two movies ago but the American actor Joe Don Baker played the villain Brad Whittaker in Dalton’s “The Living Daylights.” Here in “Goldeneye” he was Bond ally Jack Wade. Not sure if you noticed. I believe there are several actors (albeit lower profile) to play multiple roles in the canon.

It took over a decade for Brosnan finally get to play the part he was born for and he nailed it. Dashing, dry-witted and dangerous - he embodied Bond well with savoir fair to spare (if you married Connery with Moore you'd get Brosnan). Famke Janssen is so sexy as Xenia and I have a huge crush on her (sure pun intended ;d) and saw her IRL in NYC on 2 different occasions very casually so and she is truly breath-takingly beautiful. I knew you'd enjoy this ladies and trust me the rest of his tenure is just as excellent.

This is probably my favorite James Bond movie! And the soundtrack, with its version of the classic JB theme, is just KILLER!

I was today’s years old when I finally recognized Minnie Driver’s cameo 23:15 in Goldeneye lmaooooo

Pierce Brosnan was my James Bond growing up, as a kid born in the ‘90s, so it’s pretty cool that you’ve reacted to GoldenEye! Hopefully, you’ll react to the rest of Brosnan’s Bond movies.

Xenia Onatopp was blessed with "killer legs".

Boris and Natalya, nice reference to that animated series *The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle and Friends* Fun Fact: The movie loosely based on the animated series, was narrated by Corey Burton. The voice for 007's nephew in the animated series *James Bond Jr*

Pierce was in an old TV show called Remington Steele when I was growing up.. It made him famous

Names: Exist. Popcorn in Bed: So you have chosen death. Seriously I love how you both just massacre the names in the sweetest way possible. Always brings a smile to my face. Janus became Jenova and then even the correction was wrong. Also Bromir make his comeback. 😂

Yea, the James Bond franchise really became known for the first time among the kids and teenagers of the 90's, with the release of Goldeneye on N64. I love that your sis is a gamer at heart!

Y'all's channel is fabulous, and I love watching your reactions. Keep up the great work, ladies! 💜💜

Roger Moore is my favorite Bond...but he was 007 during my most impressionable years. I would love to see you guys do "Moonraker."

I’m thrilled at this. You guys are amazing and for some of us nineties lads and lasses this movie is pure nostalgia

This was my first Bond film I ever watched. My father played the VHS on my Summer vacation from school after I was gifted the N64 and the game for keeping my grades up. I was immediately hooked on the game but even more on the film. From that day forward, my father and I made it a tradition to see every Bond film in theatres. This film will always be special to me but also the most nostalgic of them all. I still remember the train escape scene and Bond taking the Omega and using the laser function to escape. This film also made me a watch collector in the end and I eventually bought the same watch model from the film. So many memories, happy to really see your reactions.

I saw this in the theater and when I tell you the RAWR of excitement when he jumped into that plane... was CRAZY!!!!! It had been sooo many years since a Bond movie, and there were dad's with their kids, teens, young 20''s or so... older couples.. like it was AMAZING!!!

This is my all-time favorite Bond film!

My absolute favorite Bond movie

“He gets away with too much” He has saved the world multiple times so I think he deserves to be himself 😂

Goldeneye is the best bond. A perfect combination of violence and humour, stunts, action and thrills.

The actor playing the CIA agent also played the crazy arms dealer in The Living Daylights

For my parents, Sean Connery was always bond, but Pierce was the Bond I grew up with. Loved his movies! Then again... Daniel Craig was pretty awesome.

The radio telescope shown later in the film has since collapsed.

I love all the Bond movies and all the Bonds, but Goldeneye and Brosnan will always be my favorites.

This was a fabulous start for Pierce! Enjoy!

That confrontation between Bond and M in her office is low-key one of my favorite Bond scenes ever. The fact that they successfully acknowledge the double elephant in the room- M being a woman and Bond's character seemingly "outdated" even by the 90s- through such a natural, believable conversation without political affectations is so impressive. It's a testament to great writing and great actors.

23:02 in case you didn't recognize him, that's Robbie Coltrane (RIP). He played Hagrid in the Harry Potter movies.

“I gave him the limp” is such a good line 😂

You two might be repulsed by Famke in this film, but trust me, just about every guy past the age of puberty crushed on her in the 90s and early 2000s. She's a former model who has had a pretty decent film career. She's a major character in the earlier X-Men films where she stars as Jean Grey/ Phoenix, one of the most powerful beings in the entirety of the Marvel universe.

Brosnan in the casino and later Daniel Craig in casino royale both have scenes where they sit down and introduce themselves with nearly identical iconic delivery “Bond, James Bond” line to pay homage to that iconic moment when you are first introduced to Sean Connery’s bond at the casino in the film Dr. No

I love this movie and I'm glad you both enjoyed it as well! And yes, I played the holy heck out of Goldeneye on N64!

I watched this back in 1995 at my university cinema. When Bond pulled the plane up at the beginning there was practically a standing ovation.

Xenia impacted me as a kid into my adult life

Besides Sean Bean aka Boromir from LOTR there are other notable actors. The evil psychopathic female assassin is played by Famke Janssen aka Jean Grey in X-men. Also The Russian hacker Boris Grishenko actor Alan Cumming was Nightcrawler in X-Men 2 The character Valentin Dmitrovich Zukovsky who Bond met in the bar was actor Robbie Coltrane who played Rubeus Hagrid in the Harry Potter film series. And you both recognized actress Minnie Driver playing a Russian singer.

Timothy Dalton was originally supposed to do Goldeneye, but the production took so long that he basically passed it up in the end.

Fun fact ladies: the reason why Pierce Bronson was so confident in this role was because he had already been cast earlier! He was originally supposed to take Timothy Dalton’s spot. He was cast in 1986 and was doing promo work to prepare for The Living Daylights in 1987. However, he was also on contact on a television show called “Remington Steele” at the same time. The network dropped it and Pierce had to wait 90 days to see if the show would be picked up or not before he could leave it and start work as James Bond. On the final day of that 90 day period, another network picked up Remington Steele and Pierce had to finish his contract, so the directors had to recast him, hence why Timothy Dalton got the role at that time. They absolutely loved Pierce though and thought he did a fantastic job, so they immediately cast him after Dalton once he was available. Pierce’s late wife, Cassandra Harris, was even a Bond girl in a few scenes in a Roger Moore Bond film “For Your Eyes Only (1981).

Izabella Scorupco, definitely one of my favorite Bond girls. I am looking forward to this one, its my favorite Brosnan entry in the Bond franchise.

Cassie, they actually had to use a crane to suspend the stuntman further out away from the dam wall so he wouldn't smack into it.

"Yeesss! I am invincible!" My favorite part.

gotta love Cassie's suggestion of 'ejecting' from a single-engine utility plane

Xena was such a awesome character

I think this is my favorite Bond, can't wait for your reaction ^_^

A very good Pierce Brosnan spy film is THE NOVEMBER MAN. "We always called you the November man, because after you came through town, nothing lived."

A view to a kill, Golden gun and Moonraker is a must see with Roger Moore. First two movies was never high rated but for me they are just excellent Bond films. I grew up with them and Rooger More, the music in the films are iconic. That beeing said Golden Eye and Pierce Brosnan is amazing.
