Is Brosnan the suavest Bond of all? JAMES BOND Playlist: czcams.com/play/PLQHhQlj8i5dp_oymDpZRwVEgCMP9fUpks.html MISSION IMPOSSIBLE Playlist: czcams.com/play/PLQHhQlj8i5dpj375gpcrz0d7cMJr4XFuE.html
"I have a bad feeling about 006. I think he's going to die." It's Sean Bean. I have seen one movie where he survives to the end credits. He and Michael Beihn are professional dead character actors. Ms. Onatop is also Jean Grey in X-Men. Famke Janssen. The hack is Alan Cumming who was Nightcrawler in X-2. So they will meet sgain. I own this movie on laserdisc. LOL The actress playing Moneypenny's actual last name is Bond.
The production wanted Brosnan for a long time, from the time of the Remington Steele series, but because of the contract he had with that series, Bronsnan couldn't sign on to be Bond, he had to wait a couple of years until finally he could. That's why he's that the production had to summon Timothy Dalton at that time.
@@imbatmanhi3363 Woah, I never knew that. I doubt they even gave her any residuals for that idea considering they went with a woman. Ironically enough I never even thought of DAME Judi Dench as a woman, lol, just brilliant casting that I always wondered how they got that creative. Dang, poor Lois Maxwell :/
@@imbatmanhi3363 your right Lois Maxwell wanted to be M but at the time Albert Broccoli and Harry Saltzman didn’t believe having M16 being run by a Woman and years later Barbara Broccoli took over as Producer from her father Albert Broccoli and things changed with Goldeneye in 1990s by casting Judi Dench to be M

@Dayspring I do enjoy the Craig Bonds too, for their overall production quality and for how different they are to the rest of Bond. I still think of Brosnan as my favourite, tied with Connery, but Craig is a very close third.
I’ve always thought of Brosnan as the perfect amalgamation of those who came before him. He’s suave like Connery, can brawl like Lazenby, can quip like Moore, and can be serious like Dalton.
Connery could brawl pretty well. Moore could be serious, but there weren't a lot of those moments written into his films, or perhaps used too sparingly. Dalton was a bit too earnest and as a result his film took Bond to almost a generic action movie, which wasn't really what Bond was about. Strangely he did have many more quips than I remember. This is why Brosnan's Bond had become Moorish. This film is more modern in the sense it is faster paced, which I think helps a lot.
Bingo, have always thought the exact same thing brotha. Goldeneye was a great film, but i do feel he was let down by sub par scripts going forward. especially die another day
I thought his voice was far too light and he lacked Connery and Lazenby's physicality. Also, his acting was quite hammy when you compare it to Connery, Dalton or Craig.
@@SmartCookie2022 His fight in Goldeneye was one of the best in the series, and the duel in DAD wasn't too shabby either. He didn't really fight otherwise. He was the Bond of the John Woo/Michael Bay era so most of his action was firing machine guns while things blew up around him.
I like how the movie gives such a twist on Bond girls compared to past movies. Xenia Onatopp is introduced like many others: punny name, seductive, lives dangerously, glamorous looks. Then she turns out to be an irredeemable psycho, and the movie's good Bond girl is Natalya, who starts out more plainly dressed and doesn't have any combat training, but gets by anyway thanks to her technical skills, determination and quick thinking
Pierce Brosnan has to have the best gun barrel sequence of all Bonds. Notice when he turns to shoot the camera, his head stays straight perfectly no movement except the turn. And also, notice when he shoots the camera you see red. Happens to all Bond movies except one. See if you can spot it.
Irina, the cat strangling singer is a legitimate cameo appearance from the great Minnie Driver. A ‘cameo’ appearance in a movie is usually made by an already established renowned actor in a small uncredited surprise role.
Played in multiplayer with the Propellorheads version of the theme to Her Majesty's Secret Service on loop & constantly quoting from Goldfinger, 'No Mr Bond, I expect you to die!' 🤣
Brosnan is basically playing his Remington Steele self, just the RIGHT balance of seriousness from Dalton and humor from Moore. He was also THE James Bond from my childhood, and indeed the suavest of them all. Famke Janssen's Xenia Onatopp makes me think that she could have been a great Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow too aside from Milla Jovovich. Favorite fun fact: The admiral who "died with a smile" is also played by the same actor who "died with a smile" in Val Kilmer's Top Secret!
Pierce was originally supposed to take over for Roger Moore. Remington Steele was meant to be renewed for another season so he couldn't do it. Then the new season didn't happen, but Timothy Dalton was cast.
@@MarkDemeo Actually NBC had cancelled Remington Steele at the end of season 4, thus Brosnan was free to do Bond. When it was clear the deal was likely. NBC decided to 'uncancel' it and invoked Pierce's contract to force him into season 5, even though with Bond in hand it was against his will (and hurt his career). Then they didn't even bother with a full season. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remington_Steele Nope 35+ years is NOT too long to hold a grudge.
A Jennypenny Friday.! Can it get any better? I don't think so. After a six year hiatus from Bond due to legal issues, they really brought him back in style. Pierce made a great Bond. And at least in this movie, had a great movie to go with him. This is in my top 5 of the series. Great villains, great story, great stunts, great Q, and a good job with recast roles of M and Moneypenny.
I remember watching this for the first time as 5 or 6 years old kid on an old JVC TV on a VHS tape in our living room. I especially have vivid memories of the scene where he drives the tank around the city.
Finally reached my favourite Bond Pierce Brosnan! This film is probably his best (not to mention that it spawned an era-defining videogame), but I'm very partial to Tomorrow Never Dies as well, so I look forward to seeing that next week! Edit: Also, that anvil, steel-drum type of sound used a lot in this film's soundtrack is amazing. I need that sample. Another Edit: Judi Dench's M is iconic. Also Judi Dench herself is iconic.
@@DeltaAssaultGaming Well, to each their own. I personally think Tomorrow Never Dies is only a bit behind this one in overall quality, but I have a little more fun with it anyway. The World is Not Enough and Die Another Day have some really fun set pieces but aren't so good overall, in my opinion.
What makes Tomorrow never dies great is Michelle Yeoh and some of the set pieces. Motorbike especially, otherwise it has one of the weakest villains and plot lines of any Bond film in my humble opinion !
Pierce Brosnan is one of my favorite Bonds! Hugh Grant, Liam Neeson, Paul McGann, Mel Gibson, and Ralph Fiennes were considered for the role of 007. The late Alan Rickman was even considered for the role of Bond's friend turned enemy. Anthony Hopkins was even considered for the role of a 00 Agent gone rogue, and was like Bond's adoptive Father. John Landis, Roger Spottiswoode, Michael Caton Jones, Peter Medak, John Woo, and Ted Kotcheff were considered for directing.
A View to a Kill also includes elements of the Bond theme, and Duran Duran included the full theme in the version of the song in the extended music video.
This was the first "adult" movie my mom ever took me to. I was 6 and to say this was the coolest thing I'd ever seen at that point is a massive understatement.
The agent who almost shot Bond "in the wiener" was the actor who played Hagrid in the Harry Potter series. The actress who played Onatopp was also one of the X-Men.
Yes the late Robbie Coltrane played Russian Crime boss Valentin Zukovsky not an agent was also another Bond movie The World Is Not Enough with Pierce Brosnan and Bonds ally that time. Zenia was played by Dutch actress Famke Janssen who was inX-Men series as Jean Grey beginning in 2000 and was in Taken series with Liam Neeson who was considered heavily for the role of James Bond in Goldeneye but turned it down. Alan Cumming (Boris) also went on to be in a X-Men film in X-Men 2 as Nightcrawler reuniting with Goldeneye co star Famke Janssen
if you guys like Alan Cumming, Jen, you simply must watch Eyes Wide Shut, by the master, Stanley Kubrick. He's a Leo Dragon, the same as Commander Riker: the Magnificent Maestro. oh yes, and The Master by Paul Thomas Anderson would be a pretty good choice too!
The motorcycle over the cliff and dive to the plane is the most audacious stunt concept in any Bond movie. But the best execution of stuntwork in an opening was Casino Royale which immediately became my favorite Bond movie even after having watched them for 30 years.
From what I have seen, it looks like that scene may be slightly similar to the newest stunt for the upcoming Mission Impossible movie. Looks like Tom Cruise is riding a motorcycle over a cliff/drop off as well.
@@theriomrasputin8233 I just went and watched the little trailer for that stunt. The stunt guy had the audacity to say it's "pretty much the biggest stunt in cinema history" and I was like "yeah 30 years ago, and where's the airplane?"
@@githerax5303 Thats the way the mind works these days. Everything someone does, they call it original. Nobody seems to act like the past exists anymore. Thats like that one female lead saying recently her role (in Hunger Games) was the first strong woman role in movies. Totally ignoring Sigourney Weaver in Aliens.
Knew you'd love this one and it was a lot of fun watching you geek out to GoldenEye! I love these reactions because it's the closest us hardcore Bondians can get to watching the films again for the first time ourselves! See you for Tomorrow Never Dies!
My wife and I have been waiting for this, so excited! My wife is 10 years younger than me but I was born in '89 so this was totally my childhood introduction to Bond. We know you're going to totally dig it.
In 1995, the Bond franchise was pretty much dead. No one knew if it even _could_ go on. It required a miracle - Brosnan had been fancasted for 10 years & he was perfect: _Goldeneye_ delivered. Ahead of it's time, GE precedes the _Bourne_ movies with it's clever, brutal close-quarter action. More essential Broz: 2005's _The Matador._
Can't wait, my favorite Brosnan Bond a coming called Tomorrow Never Dies. Recent Academy Award winning actress, one of the best Bond ladies second to Diana Rigg. Also, a great villain, henchman, etc. Jen, you'll love it!!!
@@paulsartana1785 I do hate "Experience of Love," but no way is that true in a world where, uh, whatever the song was in the opening credits of "Quantum of Solace." Christ All-Friday that one's atrocious.
@@ConstantineFurman I also don't like Another way to die but not as much as Experience of love. Another way to die at least had a beat, while Experience of love seemed like it was was written and performed by a zombie. Totally lifeless.
40:29 - In 1986, NBC cancelled a television show called 'Remington Steele' starring Pierce Brosnan. As Brosnan was offered the role of James Bond, the publicity improved Remington Steele's ratings and it was renewed, contractually requiring Brosnan to return to the show. This caused Eon Productions to have to look elsewhere for the new 007.
Licence To Kill was the first Bond film I ever saw, and I became an instant fan. Plus there where the James Bond Jr cartoons. The Thanksgiving of 94, I remember watching TBS because of a James Bond marathon. They would have them on all day in random order. Watching them with my dad cousins it was hard not to love this series. Like the character of Bond, these movies are just charming and entertaining. Then after a 6 year gap of having no Bond movies, I find out about Goldeneye when I see a trailer for it at the movies. My excitement was through the roof for this when I finally sat in my seat next to my dad, who was a fan of Connery. He ended up loving Brosnan as Bond. As an 11 year old, I was excited to be at the beginning of a new era of Bond, and the movie didn't disappoint. This, Licence To Kill and are my two personal favorites. Looking forward to the next reaction. You're awesome.
I LOVE the tank chase scene through St. Petersburg. The Fontanka, the Admiralty, etc are all visible. Have been there 3 times (2012, 2014 and 2016) and it was one of my happy places. The scene with the admiral was the very definition of 'screwing someone to death...
I loved this film when it came out, but it was when I got the N64 game that I became REALLY obsessed with it! I used to play through the game reciting lines from the film at the right moments 😅 As always, amazing reaction! Your enjoyment of these films just elevates them to new levels!
I probably did the same thing being a big fan of the movie goldeneye and the Bond series which I am probably an equivalent of a bond fan as someone who is a Star Wars fan. I played the game many times myself was 11 when it came out and got it for my birthday/Christmas gift card in December of 97 and now 36 years old.
The role of “M” is based on the real life Chief of the Secret Intelligence Service (MI6) who is known as “C”. The first head of MI6 was a man named Mansfield Smith-Cumming - who would sign all documents with just the letter “C” in green ink. That became a tradition with the chiefs after him - so all documents and orders are signed “C” in green ink. Therefore, “M” isn’t a person but rather a position - whoever is chief at the time is “M”.
Love the way Brosnan made Bond a little more brutal than before. It was awesome how he just knocked Onatopp the fuck out 'sweet dreams'. Then she gets one of the best lines in the movie with her half-orgasmic 'he's going to derail us!'
Some of the onsite location shots included the actual huge satellite dish in Arecibo Puerto Rico (which was never hidden under water) and was operational when the movie was made. Many scientific discoveries were made by this dish but it began to deteriorate with no funding provided to maintain its structural integrity, and supporting cables snapped in 2020 and the upper structure fell into the middle of the dish and it was destroyed.
@@jaquesshugossen9398 Its very strange how the movie special effects almost predicted how the structure would be destroyed... except Sean Bean wasn't lying in the middle of the dish being crushed by the collapse.
@@gregzaffuto4507 Very good point. It is almost as if they understood then what it would look like years later. ... Well it is rare to see films where sean Bean DOESN'T die in one or other way, or being crushed. That is one thing which I have to give great credit to the Special Effects in the Bond series so far, as they have been TOP Notch!
The first time I ever saw Pierce Brosnan was in the TV show Remington Steele, and my first thought of him was, Wow, he'd make a great James Bond! :) It's my understanding that Brosnan had always been interested in playing the part of Bond, but when Dalton left and the role became available, Pierce's wife at that time was dying of cancer so he at first declined. They waited until he was ready to play the part to start shooting Bond movies again, which is why Dalton's last movie was in 1989 and this movie was in 1995. I don't know how accurate I am, but that's what I heard at the time as to why it took 6 years for a new Bond movie to come out. Well worth the wait! I was so sad for Brosnan that he lost his wife, but very happy he eventually got to play this part. He was always meant to be Bond. :)
To answer your question about 'M', in the movie universe it is the designation for the head of MI6. It comes from the real life first head of the British Secret Intelligence Service (MI6): Sir Mansfield Cumming. He always signed his official documents with the letter 'C' in green ink. That signature tradition continues and the head is referred to as 'C'. Since Ian Flemming had been in Intelligence and details about MI5 & MI6 were classified back when in the day, he changed details, like 'C' being changed to 'M'.
After Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan was indeed the Next-Best Bond, IMO...always playing it so smooth and cool! Another Great Reaction, Jen...but, You Missed quite a few Familiar Faces here. The First being Famke Janssen as Xenia Onatopp, I know that it's been a while since "X-Men" but I was hoping that You'd at least remember her (red-headed) as "Jean Grey." Another was Joe Don Baker as "Jack Wade" (CIA), the same actor previously appeared in "The Living Daylights" as the Arms-Dealer, "Brad Whitaker."
The soundtrack is by Eric Serra; the guy usually working with Luc Beson and who has written soundtracks for Fifth Element, Leon, The Big Blue and Nikita, among several others.
I am so glad you enjoyed this. You’re excitement of the lair is almost the same as Xenia’s excitement. Haha. Brosnan and this one are my second favourite. He is an amalgam of previous Bonds. The dry wit of Moore, the not so intense but still intensity of Dalton, the action of Connery. Moments like when he beats up a guy with a towel and then dries himself off with it, the tie adjust after driving the tank through Red Square. So much fun. Martin Campbell, the director, comes back to Bond with Casino Royale.
wait wait wait, the same guy who did this one did casino royale? dude just went and made 2 of the best bond movies ever, and both as the ontroduction of a new bond huh
Woo hoo let's go Jen! Oh yeah the dodgy synth music intro, it will improve. We've now had Bond played by a Scotsman (like me, so cool ;-) ) an Englishman, a Welshman and now the Irishman. He is the second best Bond ;-) Loving this Bond series Jen, you rock!
Sean Bean was actually in the running to play Bond but the casting director thought he would make a better villain. In fact Brosnan was supposed to replace Roger Moore but he was already committed to Remington Steele.
Eric Serra is the composer this time and for the only time in the Bond saga, he was also the composer of "Leon The Professional", a film from 1 year before Goldeneye and I think that's why the production called him, they would have liked the score of that other movie
Martin Campbell also directed the action film The Protege’, as well as The Foreigner, also with Pierce Brosnan and Jackie Chan, in a more dramatic role.
Bond Fridays are the best fridays. Random fact: Goldeneye was the name of the jamaican manor where Ian Fleming originally created James Bond. And yes, he was driving the same Aston martin as in Goldfinger and... well you will see.
This was the one James Bond reaction I’ve been waiting for. This was the first James Bond movie I ever watched and it’s my number one favourite of all time. Also it created one of the greatest n64 games of all time as well.
I'm glad you've been enjoying the evolution of Bond over the years! Goldeneye is probably one of my top fives. Can't wait to see your other movie reactions!
So many flashbacks watching this translating to playing the N64 game. Speed running the Facility level, the Archives, the Train level, the Jungle, laser watch, the Cradle.
Fantastic Reaction, as always. I was a teenager when the Sean Connery movies came out. So he will always "be Bond." That said, I think the Pierce Brosnan Bonds are my favourites. And now, as always, the obligatory plug for 1998's The Mask of Zorro. You'll love it!
Great reaction as always. I love this movie. There are so many great actors in it. All the action and a lot more suspense than usual. This is the first I ever saw Femke Jennsen, after this she was in lots of good stuff. Sean Bean, Robbie Coltrane, Joe Don Baker, Judi Dench, all first rate actors, especially Academy award winning powerhouse, Dame Judi Dench (Lady M). But I absolutely love Samantha Bond, the new MoneyPenny. She’s an awesome British Character actress who always pops up in the British Mystery movies and TV shows I love. My favorite being “The Murder Room” adapted from a PD James novel. Can’t wait for your next reaction. You’re so funny and cool and appreciate the movies.
"Who is this guy?!" Surprised you didn't recognize Joe Don Baker, who was the villain of Living Daylights! There's a lot of subtle Dalton references in the Brosnan era, but he may be my fave. Jack Wade will be our Felix Leiter for this run.
Brosnan was born to be Bond and he delivers with all his dashing, savoir faire persona. Fun and deadly at the same time and utterly cool - shame the producers cut his legacy too short IMO. I knew you'd enjoy it Jen. And Famke Janssen - whoa baby!~ Saw her on the streets of NYC twice and she is stop traffic gorgeous.
PS: I'm sure it's been mentioned but Brosnan was earmarked by the producers in the '80s to be the new Bond after Moore but his TV series REMINGTON STEELE on NBC became a hit and his contract bound him form doing so. Shows patience paid off for everyone.
15:34 Yes, “M” is a code name for the head of MI6. Specifically, M stands for “Missions,” to identify that the incumbent is the head of the Missions Department. **SPOILER ALERT** There have been four official onscreen Ms in 007 history. The first was actor Bernard Lee, who played M in 11 Bond films between 1962 and 1979. His character’s actual name was Miles Messervy. There was no M onscreen in FOR YOUR EYES ONLY (1981), out of respect for Bernard Lee’s passing that year. The second M was actor Robert Brown, who had previously played Admiral Hargreaves in THE SPY WHO LOVED ME (1977). There is some debate as to whether Brown’s M is intended to be the same character as Lee’s M, or whether he is still playing Admiral Hargreaves and has been promoted to the role of M - this is something that is never cleared up in the films. In any event, Brown portrayed M in 4 Bond films, the last being LICENCE TO KILL (1989). The next actor to take on the M role was Judi Dench, who, as you see here, started playing M in GOLDENEYE (1995), and appeared in the next seven Bond films until SKYFALL (2012), although she appears briefly in a video in SPECTRE (2015). This version of the character was said to be based on real life MI5 head Stella Rimmington, and originally has a strained relationship with Bond. As you will see in future Bond films, she develops a better relationship with Bond, and like Bernard Lee, Dench played M for more than one Bond. Her character’s name is eventually revealed to be Olivia Mansfield. Judi Dench’s M was directly replaced by Ralph Fiennes’ character Gareth Mallory, who had appeared throughout SKYFALL (2012) as Chairman of the Intelligence and Security Committee. He went on to appear as M in the subsequent Daniel Craig Bond films SPECTRE (2015) and NO TIME TO DIE (2021), which brings us up to the present.
"Ahh ughh, freaking c***block" - Jen Murray Hi Jen🙋♂️ Pierce Brosnan's series of Bond movies all have this type of style and feel, so more quips are ah coming. Brosnan was also the leading candidate to play Bond in the Timothy "Dreamy" Dalton's movies. But the NBC TV series he was involved in, got extended for another season. Thus Dreamy got the roll. And just for laughs, poor Sean Bean. He dies in like 90% of all his movies. Also with the way his name is spelled, you'd think it would rhyme. Thanks Jen 🙋♂️🍾🥂🍾
RIP Admiral Chuck Farrel, RCN - 1951-1995. 😉 So happy you're loving the Bond series, Jennypenny! 🥰 So after watching the whole reaction (previous sentences were written 5 minutes in lol) I absolutely love your energy and enthusiasm, Jen!!!! It's infectious (in a great no-need-for-penicillin-way, of course😉) and really comes across the Interwebs! Brosnan's darned sauve, not gonna lie, but I still am partial to Dalton. This was a very good entry in the Bond realm though. Dame Judy was an example of great casting and it's always nice to see Desmond as Q.
New subscriber here from the Philippines-I agreed that the Bond theme was so underused-but the arrival of David Arnold in the next film("TND")will more than make up for it! You are my favorite 007 reactor-cant wait for you to check"Casino Royale" and "Skyfall"-really personal Bond entries.
@@johnpoile1451 Jen should react to Austin Powers after she's done with the Bond franchise. Until then. let's imagine Jennyenny tear-assing through Toronto with fat stacks and multiple explosions. trying to save the world from some rogue Canadian general bent on world domination. Not a parody, but Jen opening up a can of Jason Bourne on some poor bustard's ass. I'd pay to watch that movie.
“Might as well just wink at the camera there.” Sigh. Yeah, get used to that. He does it more and more as the movies go along. Forget the double taking pigeons…. 😂
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
@@jenmurrayxo the solo story line playing Bond was fantastic. Most people would get together and play the multiplayer versus version that was arguably the beginning of shooter games like Counter Strike and Call of Duty. There is also a game called Perfect Dark that used the gameplay and style of the Goldeneye game but had more weapons like automatic guns you could put on the wall to watch your back and attack anyone that comes near it.
I never played the original Goldeneye on N64. Don't hate me. I couldn't get into it at the time. So played the other Bond games that came out after including the 2010 Goldeneye remake on PS3.
The Bond of my era, though personal favorite might also be Dalton just because there was a lot of potential that was unexplored with him… not to rag on any other Bonds, Bronson is good, Craig coming up after him is great, and Connery is iconic, just love The Living Daylights personally. Also, you probably don’t recognize her with the over the top Russian accent, but Xenia Onatopp is played by Famke Janssen who also plays Jean Grey in the X-Men movies. And yes, re watch LOTR! The 20th anniversary of Return of the King is coming up this December, perfect excuse to go back to Middle Earth.
Jen I think you're my favourite reactor. They certainly gave Pierce a strong opening for his first movie. Since you asked, I'd definitely watch a Lord of the Rings reaction if you made one :D
Amazing classic GoldenEye directed by Martin Campbell starring Pierce Brosnan, Sean Bean, Izabella Scorupco, Famke Janssen, Joe Don Baker and Judi Dench as M. The music video of the film is the song of the same name "GoldenEye" single by Tina Turner and written by Bono and The Edge (from the rock band U2) thank you Jen great reaction "For England James?.....No....For Me"
Fun Fact: Wade, the CIA agent in Goldeneye is the arms dealer villian in The Living Daylights. Another fun fact: Onatopp and Boris were both in X2. Jean Grey and Nightcrawler. Just get you a Nintendo 64, 4 controllers and the Goldeneye game. Single player story. Up to 4 player battles. So much fun. And, don't forget the expansion pack.
Canada's sweetheart takes on one of the greatest Bobd films! It's nearly 1am here in the UK and I gave to work tomorrow, but I MUST SEE JEN'S REACTION! 😄🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Some have mentioned that Pierce was recommended by the fanbase for years. This is because he was co-starring in a fun detective series called Remington Steele in the 80s. It was about a female detective who picked a man to be the face of her agency so she would be able to succeed and get more potential clients. It was a blast and made Pierce an instant star. Check it out. You will love it!
Is Brosnan the suavest Bond of all?

I'm auditioning for new bond. Wish me 🤞..
It's interesting how Bond films get more and more serious over the years
Anti-hero Bond also becomes colder and colder.
"I have a bad feeling about 006. I think he's going to die." It's Sean Bean. I have seen one movie where he survives to the end credits. He and Michael Beihn are professional dead character actors.
Ms. Onatop is also Jean Grey in X-Men. Famke Janssen. The hack is Alan Cumming who was Nightcrawler in X-2. So they will meet sgain.
I own this movie on laserdisc. LOL

@Dayspring I do enjoy the Craig Bonds too, for their overall production quality and for how different they are to the rest of Bond. I still think of Brosnan as my favourite, tied with Connery, but Craig is a very close third.
I'm ancient, I guess. I grew up with Roger Moore as Bond. 📺
@@deathbysnoosnoo8640 don't worry. The Brosnan generation is feeling a little older since Craig Bond.
I’ve always thought of Brosnan as the perfect amalgamation of those who came before him. He’s suave like Connery, can brawl like Lazenby, can quip like Moore, and can be serious like Dalton.
He was let down by mediocre writing imo, especially with Die Another Day.
Connery could brawl pretty well.
Moore could be serious, but there weren't a lot of those moments written into his films, or perhaps used too sparingly.
Dalton was a bit too earnest and as a result his film took Bond to almost a generic action movie, which wasn't really what Bond was about. Strangely he did have many more quips than I remember.
This is why Brosnan's Bond had become Moorish. This film is more modern in the sense it is faster paced, which I think helps a lot.
Bingo, have always thought the exact same thing brotha. Goldeneye was a great film, but i do feel he was let down by sub par scripts going forward. especially die another day
I thought his voice was far too light and he lacked Connery and Lazenby's physicality. Also, his acting was quite hammy when you compare it to Connery, Dalton or Craig.
@@SmartCookie2022 His fight in Goldeneye was one of the best in the series, and the duel in DAD wasn't too shabby either. He didn't really fight otherwise. He was the Bond of the John Woo/Michael Bay era so most of his action was firing machine guns while things blew up around him.
Seeing Brosnan and Sean Bean on a mission together as 007 and 006 is so awesome. It makes me wish for a prequel, a buddy movie before 006 turned bad.
This film was definitely a refresher for the series! Incredible casting and action in this!!
I dunno, License to kill I think is superior. And better than most of Brosnans films IMO.
Agreed, mate. Brosnan Bonds are lots of fun.
But Licence To Kill def tops them - it has aged very well. And what a theme song. ❤
@@filmneekthey're both excellent aren't they!
I like how the movie gives such a twist on Bond girls compared to past movies. Xenia Onatopp is introduced like many others: punny name, seductive, lives dangerously, glamorous looks. Then she turns out to be an irredeemable psycho, and the movie's good Bond girl is Natalya, who starts out more plainly dressed and doesn't have any combat training, but gets by anyway thanks to her technical skills, determination and quick thinking
very good point najhoant! 🏅
Facts on the two female leads in this bond movie
Pierce Brosnan has to have the best gun barrel sequence of all Bonds. Notice when he turns to shoot the camera, his head stays straight perfectly no movement except the turn. And also, notice when he shoots the camera you see red. Happens to all Bond movies except one. See if you can spot it.
Nothing tops the gun barrel from Casino Royale
@@seventhson2151 It's not even an actual gunbarrel just a trick to lead into the song.
@@JDoe-gf5oz It's the gunbarrel for that movie. They were just being "clever" about it.
wrong...Dalton had the best gun barrels
nothing will beat the
JASON VOORHEES BOND
sequence from
FRIDAY the 13th part 6
Pierce Brosnan's wife, the late Cassandra Harris, was the woman run over by the car on the beach in "For Your Eyes Only"...
"Did she just kill him during coitus?", My favourite line ever!
Irina, the cat strangling singer is a legitimate cameo appearance from the great Minnie Driver.
A ‘cameo’ appearance in a movie is usually made by an already established renowned actor in a small uncredited surprise role.
Ironically Minnie "cat strangler" Driver is actually a very good singer.
Yes!!! This movie spawned one of the greatest games of it's time.
This movie makes me wish I still had my N64.
I really wanna play that game!! 🔥
For real. Goldeneye ruled.
Played in multiplayer with the Propellorheads version of the theme to Her Majesty's Secret Service on loop & constantly quoting from Goldfinger, 'No Mr Bond, I expect you to die!' 🤣
@@jenmurrayxo Be careful Jen, the game is addictive like crack. My friends and I spent HOURS hunting each other in that game. Good times.
19:36 - Valentin Zukovsky was played by Robbie Coltrane, also known for playing Rubeus Hagrid in the Harry Potter film series.
Brosnan is basically playing his Remington Steele self, just the RIGHT balance of seriousness from Dalton and humor from Moore. He was also THE James Bond from my childhood, and indeed the suavest of them all.
Famke Janssen's Xenia Onatopp makes me think that she could have been a great Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow too aside from Milla Jovovich.
Favorite fun fact: The admiral who "died with a smile" is also played by the same actor who "died with a smile" in Val Kilmer's Top Secret!
Pierce was originally supposed to take over for Roger Moore. Remington Steele was meant to be renewed for another season so he couldn't do it. Then the new season didn't happen, but Timothy Dalton was cast.
I think Brosnan has the best mix of comedy, action, and drama across his run (with DAD being the goofy outlier).
Famke did a great job as Jean Grey and even better as The Phoenix. Her character should have been given a stand alone movie.
@@MarkDemeo Actually NBC had cancelled Remington Steele at the end of season 4, thus Brosnan was free to do Bond. When it was clear the deal was likely. NBC decided to 'uncancel' it and invoked Pierce's contract to force him into season 5, even though with Bond in hand it was against his will (and hurt his career). Then they didn't even bother with a full season. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remington_Steele Nope 35+ years is NOT too long to hold a grudge.
@@MarkDemeo Timothy Dalton was originally asked to be Bond in Live and Left Die but declined because he thought he was too young.
A Jennypenny Friday.! Can it get any better? I don't think so.
After a six year hiatus from Bond due to legal issues, they really brought him back in style. Pierce made a great Bond. And at least in this movie, had a great movie to go with him. This is in my top 5 of the series. Great villains, great story, great stunts, great Q, and a good job with recast roles of M and Moneypenny.
This one was great. The modern special effects and the script was the focal point. It is a great movie with a lot of action from beginning to end.
Loved it! 🔥
I remember watching this for the first time as 5 or 6 years old kid on an old JVC TV on a VHS tape in our living room. I especially have vivid memories of the scene where he drives the tank around the city.
Finally reached my favourite Bond Pierce Brosnan! This film is probably his best (not to mention that it spawned an era-defining videogame), but I'm very partial to Tomorrow Never Dies as well, so I look forward to seeing that next week!
Edit: Also, that anvil, steel-drum type of sound used a lot in this film's soundtrack is amazing. I need that sample.
Another Edit: Judi Dench's M is iconic. Also Judi Dench herself is iconic.
I think Dame Judi Dench brings incredible life to M. I always want to see more of her ripping into Bond and calling out the misogyny of the past.
Based on how Jen tends to react to these films, something tells me she's going to REALLY love Tomorrow Never Dies
Of course this is his best.
The other ones all sucked.
@@DeltaAssaultGaming Well, to each their own. I personally think Tomorrow Never Dies is only a bit behind this one in overall quality, but I have a little more fun with it anyway. The World is Not Enough and Die Another Day have some really fun set pieces but aren't so good overall, in my opinion.
What makes Tomorrow never dies great is Michelle Yeoh and some of the set pieces. Motorbike especially, otherwise it has one of the weakest villains and plot lines of any Bond film in my humble opinion !
Pierce Brosnan is one of my favorite Bonds!
Hugh Grant, Liam Neeson, Paul McGann, Mel Gibson, and Ralph Fiennes were considered for the role of 007.
The late Alan Rickman was even considered for the role of Bond's friend turned enemy.
Anthony Hopkins was even considered for the role of a 00 Agent gone rogue, and was like Bond's adoptive Father.
John Landis, Roger Spottiswoode, Michael Caton Jones, Peter Medak, John Woo, and Ted Kotcheff were considered for directing.
Thanks Shaine ☺️👍
Mel Gibson lol
Burt Reynolds was offered the roll of James Bond, for the movie: On Her Majesty's Secret Service.
He turned down the offer.
@@brianb8060 Yikes! What a lucky escape for the franchise.
Thank goodness they didn't go with John Woo. Goldeneye wouldn't have been the same with white doves.
The movie with the lair hidden in a volcano was "You Only Live Twice". Goldfinger and Thunderball both had the Bond theme within the song.
A View to a Kill also includes elements of the Bond theme, and Duran Duran included the full theme in the version of the song in the extended music video.
This was the first "adult" movie my mom ever took me to. I was 6 and to say this was the coolest thing I'd ever seen at that point is a massive understatement.
Watching the sex scenes must have been a little awkward lol
The agent who almost shot Bond "in the wiener" was the actor who played Hagrid in the Harry Potter series.
The actress who played Onatopp was also one of the X-Men.
Yes the late Robbie Coltrane played Russian Crime boss Valentin Zukovsky not an agent was also another Bond movie The World Is Not Enough with Pierce Brosnan and Bonds ally that time. Zenia was played by Dutch actress Famke Janssen who was inX-Men series as Jean Grey beginning in 2000 and was in Taken series with Liam Neeson who was considered heavily for the role of James Bond in Goldeneye but turned it down. Alan Cumming (Boris) also went on to be in a X-Men film in X-Men 2 as Nightcrawler reuniting with Goldeneye co star Famke Janssen
Alan Cumming (Boris) was Nightcrawler in X-Men. His makeup and lizard tail were so cool.
if you guys like Alan Cumming, Jen, you simply must watch Eyes Wide Shut, by the master, Stanley Kubrick. He's a Leo Dragon, the same as Commander Riker: the Magnificent Maestro. oh yes, and The Master by Paul Thomas Anderson would be a pretty good choice too!
The motorcycle over the cliff and dive to the plane is the most audacious stunt concept in any Bond movie. But the best execution of stuntwork in an opening was Casino Royale which immediately became my favorite Bond movie even after having watched them for 30 years.
From what I have seen, it looks like that scene may be slightly similar to the newest stunt for the upcoming Mission Impossible movie. Looks like Tom Cruise is riding a motorcycle over a cliff/drop off as well.
@@theriomrasputin8233 I just went and watched the little trailer for that stunt. The stunt guy had the audacity to say it's "pretty much the biggest stunt in cinema history" and I was like "yeah 30 years ago, and where's the airplane?"
@@githerax5303 Thats the way the mind works these days. Everything someone does, they call it original. Nobody seems to act like the past exists anymore.
Thats like that one female lead saying recently her role (in Hunger Games) was the first strong woman role in movies. Totally ignoring Sigourney Weaver in Aliens.
@@theriomrasputin8233 Demographically, who watches action movies? under 30? I guess every 30 years it's a safe bet to pretend you're original.
Knew you'd love this one and it was a lot of fun watching you geek out to GoldenEye! I love these reactions because it's the closest us hardcore Bondians can get to watching the films again for the first time ourselves! See you for Tomorrow Never Dies!
That admiral came and went at the same time. What a legend
I wasn't expecting this until tomorrow! Thank you so much Jen!
Got it done early, woot! ☺️👍
Tomorow never dies
Tomorrow never dies but,for me, The World is not Enough. Sorry couldn't resist.
My wife and I have been waiting for this, so excited! My wife is 10 years younger than me but I was born in '89 so this was totally my childhood introduction to Bond. We know you're going to totally dig it.
In 1995, the Bond franchise was pretty much dead. No one knew if it even _could_ go on. It required a miracle - Brosnan had been fancasted for 10 years & he was perfect: _Goldeneye_ delivered. Ahead of it's time, GE precedes the _Bourne_ movies with it's clever, brutal close-quarter action. More essential Broz: 2005's _The Matador._
Brosnan killed it for me! Worst Bond ever!
@@js0988 sounds like a personal issue
I played the N64 game a lot, so much so, that every scene of this movie feels like the game coming to life
I really wanna play that game!! 🔥
19:42 - Bad singer was played by Minnie Driver, also known for playing Skylar in the movie, 'Good Will Hunting'.
Can't wait, my favorite Brosnan Bond a coming called Tomorrow Never Dies. Recent Academy Award winning actress, one of the best Bond ladies second to Diana Rigg. Also, a great villain, henchman, etc. Jen, you'll love it!!!
FUN FACT: It's Pierce Brosnan singing the ending song "Experience of Love".
4kin lol!!😆🤣
No Eric Serra sang the song, the composer of the movie. The worst bond song by far.
@@paulsartana1785 I do hate "Experience of Love," but no way is that true in a world where, uh, whatever the song was in the opening credits of "Quantum of Solace." Christ All-Friday that one's atrocious.
@@ConstantineFurman I also don't like Another way to die but not as much as Experience of love. Another way to die at least had a beat, while Experience of love seemed like it was was written and performed by a zombie. Totally lifeless.
@@paulsartana1785Originally the song was meant for Leon: The Professional starring Jean Reno, Natalie Portman and Gary Oldman
40:29 - In 1986, NBC cancelled a television show called 'Remington Steele' starring Pierce Brosnan.
As Brosnan was offered the role of James Bond, the publicity improved Remington Steele's ratings and it was renewed, contractually requiring Brosnan to return to the show. This caused Eon Productions to have to look elsewhere for the new 007.
"Tell me, who's strangling the cat?"
Best line in the whole movie.
Ironically the actress who plays her, Minnie Driver is actually a very good singer.
@@whovianhistorybuff Yeah she really is.
I got hooked by Roger Moore as a kid, but this was the first Bond I saw in a theater and it totally blew me away. It is just so epic in all respects.
Licence To Kill was the first Bond film I ever saw, and I became an instant fan. Plus there where the James Bond Jr cartoons. The Thanksgiving of 94, I remember watching TBS because of a James Bond marathon. They would have them on all day in random order. Watching them with my dad cousins it was hard not to love this series. Like the character of Bond, these movies are just charming and entertaining. Then after a 6 year gap of having no Bond movies, I find out about Goldeneye when I see a trailer for it at the movies. My excitement was through the roof for this when I finally sat in my seat next to my dad, who was a fan of Connery. He ended up loving Brosnan as Bond. As an 11 year old, I was excited to be at the beginning of a new era of Bond, and the movie didn't disappoint. This, Licence To Kill and are my two personal favorites. Looking forward to the next reaction. You're awesome.
I LOVE the tank chase scene through St. Petersburg. The Fontanka, the Admiralty, etc are all visible. Have been there 3 times (2012, 2014 and 2016) and it was one of my happy places.
The scene with the admiral was the very definition of 'screwing someone to death...
I LOVE Jen's genuine pity for Alec/006's demise in the beginning. Also, I suspect that she at first didn't recognize Shawn Bawn...
I loved this film when it came out, but it was when I got the N64 game that I became REALLY obsessed with it! I used to play through the game reciting lines from the film at the right moments 😅
As always, amazing reaction! Your enjoyment of these films just elevates them to new levels!
I probably did the same thing being a big fan of the movie goldeneye and the Bond series which I am probably an equivalent of a bond fan as someone who is a Star Wars fan. I played the game many times myself was 11 when it came out and got it for my birthday/Christmas gift card in December of 97 and now 36 years old.
The song was written by the u2 boys .
The role of “M” is based on the real life Chief of the Secret Intelligence Service (MI6) who is known as “C”.
The first head of MI6 was a man named Mansfield Smith-Cumming - who would sign all documents with just the letter “C” in green ink.
That became a tradition with the chiefs after him - so all documents and orders are signed “C” in green ink.
Therefore, “M” isn’t a person but rather a position - whoever is chief at the time is “M”.
Love the way Brosnan made Bond a little more brutal than before. It was awesome how he just knocked Onatopp the fuck out 'sweet dreams'. Then she gets one of the best lines in the movie with her half-orgasmic 'he's going to derail us!'
That movie aged surprisingly well! Izabella Scorupco is an underrated Bond girl.
She's also in the movie "Vertical Limit," which was also Directed by Martin Campbell!
Her and Famke are simply great here.
I heard she was possibly going to come back in Tomorrow Never Dies in Teri Hatcher's role, either her or the girl in License to Kill.
Some of the onsite location shots included the actual huge satellite dish in Arecibo Puerto Rico (which was never hidden under water) and was operational when the movie was made. Many scientific discoveries were made by this dish but it began to deteriorate with no funding provided to maintain its structural integrity, and supporting cables snapped in 2020 and the upper structure fell into the middle of the dish and it was destroyed.
I was going through lots of comments to see this been made. There are videos of the great fall of the structure. Thank You for this Fun Fact.
@@jaquesshugossen9398 Its very strange how the movie special effects almost predicted how the structure would be destroyed... except Sean Bean wasn't lying in the middle of the dish being crushed by the collapse.
@@gregzaffuto4507 Very good point. It is almost as if they understood then what it would look like years later. ... Well it is rare to see films where sean Bean DOESN'T die in one or other way, or being crushed.
That is one thing which I have to give great credit to the Special Effects in the Bond series so far, as they have been TOP Notch!
The first time I ever saw Pierce Brosnan was in the TV show Remington Steele, and my first thought of him was, Wow, he'd make a great James Bond! :) It's my understanding that Brosnan had always been interested in playing the part of Bond, but when Dalton left and the role became available, Pierce's wife at that time was dying of cancer so he at first declined. They waited until he was ready to play the part to start shooting Bond movies again, which is why Dalton's last movie was in 1989 and this movie was in 1995. I don't know how accurate I am, but that's what I heard at the time as to why it took 6 years for a new Bond movie to come out. Well worth the wait! I was so sad for Brosnan that he lost his wife, but very happy he eventually got to play this part. He was always meant to be Bond. :)
To answer your question about 'M', in the movie universe it is the designation for the head of MI6.
It comes from the real life first head of the British Secret Intelligence Service (MI6): Sir Mansfield Cumming.
He always signed his official documents with the letter 'C' in green ink.
That signature tradition continues and the head is referred to as 'C'. Since Ian Flemming had been in Intelligence and details about MI5 & MI6 were classified back when in the day, he changed details, like 'C' being changed to 'M'.
After Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan was indeed the Next-Best Bond, IMO...always playing it so smooth and cool! Another Great Reaction, Jen...but, You Missed quite a few Familiar Faces here. The First being Famke Janssen as Xenia Onatopp, I know that it's been a while since "X-Men" but I was hoping that You'd at least remember her (red-headed) as "Jean Grey." Another was Joe Don Baker as "Jack Wade" (CIA), the same actor previously appeared in "The Living Daylights" as the Arms-Dealer, "Brad Whitaker."
Hi Jen. I grew up on Pierce Bronson Bond movies. Hope you are having an great and awesome day ❤
Thanks John, you too! ☺️👍
I was 28 when this came so I had been a long time fan of Bond movies for years. But this did not disappoint at all. Excellent in fact.
The soundtrack is by Eric Serra; the guy usually working with Luc Beson and who has written soundtracks for Fifth Element, Leon, The Big Blue and Nikita, among several others.
I am so glad you enjoyed this. You’re excitement of the lair is almost the same as Xenia’s excitement. Haha. Brosnan and this one are my second favourite. He is an amalgam of previous Bonds. The dry wit of Moore, the not so intense but still intensity of Dalton, the action of Connery. Moments like when he beats up a guy with a towel and then dries himself off with it, the tie adjust after driving the tank through Red Square. So much fun. Martin Campbell, the director, comes back to Bond with Casino Royale.
The tie adjustment is such a glib moment and one of Brosnan's more iconic shots.
@@LordVolkov yes, so much so, that he does it again in The World is Not Enough, when he submerges in the speed boat.
wait wait wait, the same guy who did this one did casino royale? dude just went and made 2 of the best bond movies ever, and both as the ontroduction of a new bond huh
Woo hoo let's go Jen! Oh yeah the dodgy synth music intro, it will improve. We've now had Bond played by a Scotsman (like me, so cool ;-) ) an Englishman, a Welshman and now the Irishman. He is the second best Bond ;-) Loving this Bond series Jen, you rock!
Thanks, been having a blast! 🔥
You forgot the Australian (Lazenby)
Sean Bean was actually in the running to play Bond but the casting director thought he would make a better villain. In fact Brosnan was supposed to replace Roger Moore but he was already committed to Remington Steele.
"Poor 006" I couldn't contain my laughter.
Eric Serra is the composer this time and for the only time in the Bond saga, he was also the composer of "Leon The Professional", a film from 1 year before Goldeneye and I think that's why the production called him, they would have liked the score of that other movie
Serra's scum. He was so mad about the replacement composer who scored the tank chase that he had him blacklisted from Hollywood.
This was first James Bond I saw in the theatre. Love it and has been said it spawned one of the greatest games ever. Your bond reactions are the best
Martin Campbell also directed the action film The Protege’, as well as The Foreigner, also with Pierce Brosnan and Jackie Chan, in a more dramatic role.
Bond Fridays are the best fridays. Random fact: Goldeneye was the name of the jamaican manor where Ian Fleming originally created James Bond. And yes, he was driving the same Aston martin as in Goldfinger and... well you will see.
This was the one James Bond reaction I’ve been waiting for. This was the first James Bond movie I ever watched and it’s my number one favourite of all time. Also it created one of the greatest n64 games of all time as well.
I really wanna play the game!!! 🔥
The tank chase. Best chase everrrr
I'm glad you've been enjoying the evolution of Bond over the years! Goldeneye is probably one of my top fives. Can't wait to see your other movie reactions!
"Sean Bean dies" was on my bingo card for a couple of decades of movie watching.
So many flashbacks watching this translating to playing the N64 game. Speed running the Facility level, the Archives, the Train level, the Jungle, laser watch, the Cradle.
Fantastic Reaction, as always. I was a teenager when the Sean Connery movies came out. So he will always "be Bond." That said, I think the Pierce Brosnan Bonds are my favourites. And now, as always, the obligatory plug for 1998's The Mask of Zorro. You'll love it!
Great reaction as always. I love this movie. There are so many great actors in it. All the action and a lot more suspense than usual.
This is the first I ever saw Femke Jennsen, after this she was in lots of good stuff.
Sean Bean, Robbie Coltrane, Joe Don Baker, Judi Dench, all first rate actors, especially Academy award winning powerhouse, Dame Judi Dench (Lady M).
But I absolutely love Samantha Bond, the new MoneyPenny. She’s an awesome British Character actress who always pops up in the British Mystery movies and TV shows I love. My favorite being “The Murder Room” adapted from a PD James novel.
Can’t wait for your next reaction. You’re so funny and cool and appreciate the movies.
"Who is this guy?!"
Surprised you didn't recognize Joe Don Baker, who was the villain of Living Daylights! There's a lot of subtle Dalton references in the Brosnan era, but he may be my fave.
Jack Wade will be our Felix Leiter for this run.
Brosnan was born to be Bond and he delivers with all his dashing, savoir faire persona. Fun and deadly at the same time and utterly cool - shame the producers cut his legacy too short IMO. I knew you'd enjoy it Jen. And Famke Janssen - whoa baby!~ Saw her on the streets of NYC twice and she is stop traffic gorgeous.
PS: I'm sure it's been mentioned but Brosnan was earmarked by the producers in the '80s to be the new Bond after Moore but his TV series REMINGTON STEELE on NBC became a hit and his contract bound him form doing so. Shows patience paid off for everyone.
Goldeneye and You Only Live Twice are my favourite Bonds! The excitement meter should maybe be a regular feature 😃
15:34 Yes, “M” is a code name for the head of MI6. Specifically, M stands for “Missions,” to identify that the incumbent is the head of the Missions Department.
**SPOILER ALERT**
There have been four official onscreen Ms in 007 history. The first was actor Bernard Lee, who played M in 11 Bond films between 1962 and 1979. His character’s actual name was Miles Messervy.
There was no M onscreen in FOR YOUR EYES ONLY (1981), out of respect for Bernard Lee’s passing that year.
The second M was actor Robert Brown, who had previously played Admiral Hargreaves in THE SPY WHO LOVED ME (1977). There is some debate as to whether Brown’s M is intended to be the same character as Lee’s M, or whether he is still playing Admiral Hargreaves and has been promoted to the role of M - this is something that is never cleared up in the films. In any event, Brown portrayed M in 4 Bond films, the last being LICENCE TO KILL (1989).
The next actor to take on the M role was Judi Dench, who, as you see here, started playing M in GOLDENEYE (1995), and appeared in the next seven Bond films until SKYFALL (2012), although she appears briefly in a video in SPECTRE (2015). This version of the character was said to be based on real life MI5 head Stella Rimmington, and originally has a strained relationship with Bond. As you will see in future Bond films, she develops a better relationship with Bond, and like Bernard Lee, Dench played M for more than one Bond. Her character’s name is eventually revealed to be Olivia Mansfield.
Judi Dench’s M was directly replaced by Ralph Fiennes’ character Gareth Mallory, who had appeared throughout SKYFALL (2012) as Chairman of the Intelligence and Security Committee. He went on to appear as M in the subsequent Daniel Craig Bond films SPECTRE (2015) and NO TIME TO DIE (2021), which brings us up to the present.
Actually M was the first letter of the last name, at least so described by Ian Fleming in the novels. They also used this concept in the movies.
Q also stood for quartermaster
@@MorbidBanjo Yes, I probably should have mentioned that. “Q” indeed stands for “Quartermaster.”
"Ahh ughh, freaking c***block" - Jen Murray
Hi Jen🙋♂️
Pierce Brosnan's series of Bond movies all have this type of style and feel, so more quips are ah coming. Brosnan was also the leading candidate to play Bond in the Timothy "Dreamy" Dalton's movies. But the NBC TV series he was involved in, got extended for another season. Thus Dreamy got the roll.
And just for laughs, poor Sean Bean. He dies in like 90% of all his movies. Also with the way his name is spelled, you'd think it would rhyme.
Thanks Jen 🙋♂️🍾🥂🍾
Goldeneye is a reference to Ian Fleming's estate in Jamaica. He would refer to that home as "the Goldeneye."
RIP Admiral Chuck Farrel, RCN - 1951-1995. 😉 So happy you're loving the Bond series, Jennypenny! 🥰 So after watching the whole reaction (previous sentences were written 5 minutes in lol) I absolutely love your energy and enthusiasm, Jen!!!! It's infectious (in a great no-need-for-penicillin-way, of course😉) and really comes across the Interwebs! Brosnan's darned sauve, not gonna lie, but I still am partial to Dalton. This was a very good entry in the Bond realm though. Dame Judy was an example of great casting and it's always nice to see Desmond as Q.
I love how you're sticking with your Bond trek, every 2 or 3 movies. That's awesome.🎯
They can open very large doors - I always think about that scene in Young Frankenstein: "WHAT KNOCKERS! - oh, thank you doctor".
19:37: Russian Country Music Singer Played a young Minnie Driver😊
New subscriber here from the Philippines-I agreed that the Bond theme was so underused-but the arrival of David Arnold in the next film("TND")will more than make up for it!
You are my favorite 007 reactor-cant wait for you to check"Casino Royale" and "Skyfall"-really personal Bond entries.
Your Bondy reactions are the best thing on the internet.
Thanks kevin! What are we gonna do when we're out of Bonds?!
@@jenmurrayxo We can make our own Bond movies starring you.
@@johnpoile1451 Jen should react to Austin Powers after she's done with the Bond franchise. Until then. let's imagine Jennyenny tear-assing through Toronto with fat stacks and multiple explosions. trying to save the world from some rogue Canadian general bent on world domination. Not a parody, but Jen opening up a can of Jason Bourne on some poor bustard's ass. I'd pay to watch that movie.
“Might as well just wink at the camera there.” Sigh. Yeah, get used to that. He does it more and more as the movies go along. Forget the double taking pigeons…. 😂
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
N64 Goldeneye was the game to play too!
I really wanna play that game!! 🔥
@@jenmurrayxo the solo story line playing Bond was fantastic. Most people would get together and play the multiplayer versus version that was arguably the beginning of shooter games like Counter Strike and Call of Duty. There is also a game called Perfect Dark that used the gameplay and style of the Goldeneye game but had more weapons like automatic guns you could put on the wall to watch your back and attack anyone that comes near it.
I never played the original Goldeneye on N64.
Don't hate me.
I couldn't get into it at the time.
So played the other Bond games that came out after including the 2010 Goldeneye remake on PS3.
OMG, you have no idea how great if feels to see a reactor who DOESN’T go “Ned Stark!” when they see Sean Bean.
Brosnan is my favorite Bond. When I watched him in Remington Steele I knew he'd be the perfect Bond.
Lord of the Rings rewatch? F*@% YES!
The Bond of my era, though personal favorite might also be Dalton just because there was a lot of potential that was unexplored with him… not to rag on any other Bonds, Bronson is good, Craig coming up after him is great, and Connery is iconic, just love The Living Daylights personally. Also, you probably don’t recognize her with the over the top Russian accent, but Xenia Onatopp is played by Famke Janssen who also plays Jean Grey in the X-Men movies.
And yes, re watch LOTR! The 20th anniversary of Return of the King is coming up this December, perfect excuse to go back to Middle Earth.
I was 13 when this came out. This was my first Bond theater experience. 😃
Dalton is underrated. Hes almost a perfect representation of Bond from the books.
Jen I think you're my favourite reactor.
They certainly gave Pierce a strong opening for his first movie.
Since you asked, I'd definitely watch a Lord of the Rings reaction if you made one :D
Thanks! ☺️👍
Woo! Love this movie.
This is easily not only the most underrated bond film but the underrated goat of the franchise especially if you planned the game.
Brosnan was originally going to take over for Moore, but was contracted to his new TV role of Remington Steele.
Amazing classic GoldenEye directed by Martin Campbell starring Pierce Brosnan, Sean Bean, Izabella Scorupco, Famke Janssen, Joe Don Baker and Judi Dench as M. The music video of the film is the song of the same name "GoldenEye" single by Tina Turner and written by Bono and The Edge (from the rock band U2) thank you Jen great reaction "For England James?.....No....For Me"
These are the Bond reactions I've been waiting for!!!
Fun Fact: Wade, the CIA agent in Goldeneye is the arms dealer villian in The Living Daylights.
Another fun fact: Onatopp and Boris were both in X2. Jean Grey and Nightcrawler.
Just get you a Nintendo 64, 4 controllers and the Goldeneye game. Single player story. Up to 4 player battles. So much fun. And, don't forget the expansion pack.
Jen: "You can't sneak up on Bond!"
Me: *thinking back to all the behind the head 'thunks' on Bond's skull over the years..."maybe you can"
Sean Bean's first mainstream movie death. MANY more to come 😂😂😅😅
And he died like three times in this movie! 😵😵😵 Nobody but Sean Bean can pull that off! 😂
Patriot Games (1992, starring Harrison Ford) wasn’t mainstream?
Canada's sweetheart takes on one of the greatest Bobd films! It's nearly 1am here in the UK and I gave to work tomorrow, but I MUST SEE JEN'S REACTION! 😄🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
The One that prompted many weekends of “DON’T LOOK AT MY SCREEN!” 🤣 I miss the 90s 😢
Some have mentioned that Pierce was recommended by the fanbase for years. This is because he was co-starring in a fun detective series called Remington Steele in the 80s. It was about a female detective who picked a man to be the face of her agency so she would be able to succeed and get more potential clients. It was a blast and made Pierce an instant star.
Check it out. You will love it!
