Saddest part when Q slowly went down and that was Desmond Llewelyn's last Bond appearance before he sadly passed away in a car accident weeks after the movie's release.
Barbara Broccoli, the producer (along with Michael G. Wilson), who took over this franchise from her father after Goldeneye described Elektra's character and her relationship to Bond like this:
"In Elektra, Bond thinks he's found Tracy, but really he's found Blofeld."
I honestly think that's pretty brilliant. There are loads of references to OHMSS in this movie, aside from the very obvious one. Such as Elektra's clothes at points very much so resembling outfits Tracy wore in OHMSS.
Interesting!
yes this was desond Llewelyn's last movie as Q as he died 3 weeks before the priemiere of this movie in a car crash from a book signing. Llewelyn had stated not long before his death that he had no plans to retire and that he would continue playing Q "as long as the producers want me and the Almighty doesn't on. on the wiki page about him. RIP Desmond
Crazy that he got to that age only to die in a car crash. Also how they managed to send him off perfectly with his scene, not knowing it would be his last appearance.
The world is not enough is such an underated bond song. So mysterious and it's from Elektra's point of view
In a similar way as GoldenEye is from Alec Trevelyan's point of view
The interesting part is that Elektra was created, molded to become a villain. She didnt born one, or just wanted the world domination just for the sake of it! Like Alec, she does have a motive, and like Sanchez, she is a realistic character.
Theres a few hints that Mr King abuse Elektra (not always the abuse comes from sexual or physical), the way he hurt Elektra mother. Its implied that Mr King, didnt love his wife... he just use her to have access to the oil pipes... Later comes the kidnapping, with Mr king betrayal and also M. The way she had to go around, seduce renard and make herself alive. Obvious this is a grundge that goes bigger and bigger, till a point she becomes completly in a dark path or revange. A path that bond knows very well, in fact he kill 2 people in cold blood. Alec and Elliott. Paris death, still haunts him, so thats why he tried to save her, but also he sees himself in her!
Elektra is one of the few villains that are complex and have some depth. She is the first villain to destroy MI:6 headcourts, to put M in a danger situation and keeping bond in a moral dilemma.
Elektra is also the first woman to have 3 traditional roles, main villain, Femme fatale and also bond girl. Plus, She is the first woman, bond really kills in cold blood. In fact, several things of this movie, did inspired others in the future.
Fun fact, the traffic warden was a real one and was in a adocu-soap at the time. He was mot told he would be getting soaked andhis reaction was real.
The Art of War is a favourite book for military commanders and business people.
"Wonder which part isn't finished", lolol! How much do I love Ma Jen! You guys are too precious! :))
Don't let them see you bleed and Always have an escape plan.
Bye Desmond Llewelyn as Major Boothroyd (Q)!
the deal with y2k was that space on computers was scarce in the 60s and 70s. so they coded dates with 2 digits for the year. so 2000 would be 00. and we're talking about 30ish year old systems that few people currently working (in 99) would know, mostly in cobol, a programming language few people were taught after the 80s (ex-wife was trained in cobol specifically because of this, weirdly, like if you had to learn Sanskrit to save the world)
On Dec 31, 1999 I was an IT manager who was on call and holding my breath that the programming teams that ran nightly financial systems in my computer center had every program changed and corrected to run properly, so I could enjoy the New Year 2000. It doesn't sound like a big deal now especially in running my financial systems properly, but old computer systems controlled so many processes in industry, manufacturing, emergency systems, the power grid, and military systems that were critical. No one could reliably predict what would happen when those old control programs which relied on precise time and calendar calculations would try to roll forward from "99" to "00". Many custom designed computers that control processes in machines would fail, or crash the processes they controlled. So the programs had to be replaced, or equipment replaced that used new code, or the old code changed to use 4 digit years instead of 2 digits. Most programmers who wrote the original code never considered their programs would run for as long as it did without being replaced.... and the cost of computer memory for large computers in those days was very expensive so they tried every programming trick in the book to save on memory usage... down to the level of only using 2 digits to represent the calendar year instead of 4.
After the explosive hit of the GoldenEye video game a lot of the lines in this movie were easy to copy and were added to the N64 video game The World is Not Enough. That game had John Cleese give additional instructions as R speaking to Bond within the game
Incidentally after this movie his title in Die Another Day will change from R to Q.
Garbage's second most popular song: "stupid girl" (by a woman). they knew what they were doing
The balloon/cigar chick was sad that she couldn't sleep with Bond.
Great reaction! This has always been one of my favorite Bonds. I was very moved by Q's exit. More so in retrospect, after having learned that Desmond Llewelyn died in a car accident shortly after the filming of this movie. Now, every time I see this movie, the scene where Q descends out of the scene I tear up.
Desmond Llewellyn had said he'd be happy to continue as Q until EON or God decided otherwise. However the producers decided this would be his last and gave him that great send off. Perfect timing as it turned out, as he was killed in a car crash 15 days after release.
Colonel Klee was the first lead female villain in bond movies.
what a villain! she takes Stockholm syndrome to the level of Patty Hearst syndrome! but to me, Q's final scene is what gets me every time! the teacher gets older and older while the pupils are more of the same, like Q and James Bond...I know Desmond Llewelyn passed away shortly after the movie and because of that scene, I always think he's still around!
never let them see you bleed and always have an escape plan! 👏👏👏
The character of, however, you spell his name, does not fall in oil. Not fall in regular oil aa you think of. He falls in caviar. It’s a caviar factory.
In the books Q's female assistant is called Q'ute.
Ironic name change that most people miss mr bullion is legendary DJ Goldie
Desmond Llewellyn's last appearance as Major Boothroyd AKA Q of course had to coincide with the most ridiculous, porn-level depiction of a nuclear physicist ever. The Moore era got goofy, but for me, this and Die Another Day were the peak. This was the stunt casting era, where you saw Denise Richards, Halle Berry and Teri Hatcher simply because they were big names at the time. The whole Brosnan era feels like it fan fiction written by a 13 year old boy. At times, that makes for some entertaining stuff, especially if you're the right age. When you're a teenager, you're not wondering why a college cheerleader with that kind of dialogue became a nuclear physicist. This whole era with the possible exception of Goldeneye comes off like an attempt to make Austin Powers obsolete. I do enjoy Sophie Marceau as a villain and some of the score, though. David Arnold knows what he's doing.
I think the movie would’ve been better without Dr. Jones at all. Just have Elektra be the only girl.
Christmas Jones is unironically my favorite Bond girl
Robert Carlyle, who played the bad guy, was the leader of the male strippers in The Full Monty.
You should watch Entrapment with Sean Connery and Catherine Zeta Jones. They use the Y2K time calibration to steal time.
No dipping your wick.
Watch the other Bond, Never Say Never Again. You'll see a surprise Leiter.
Desmond Llewelyn died soon after the release of the film, in a dreadful car accident. He had no plans to retire. He was an amazing man, for example, in World War II whilst a prisoner-of-war, caused so much trouble that he was eventually sent to Colditz Castle.
You should watch the Garbage theme song video. It's awesome.
8:55 given that that thing was capable of ludicrously high speeds, could submerge, travel over dry land and had torpedo launchers I've got just 1 question, what sort of fish was Q planning to catch?
Megalodon.
@@Flix2Us with that boat Q could bag Moby Dick 🐋
Goldie and Valentin Zhukovsky.
My name is Kil.
The next one is a real turd! Looking forward to your reaction
Plutonic, eh? 😀

Time for one last screw?
You said Elektra was the first female main villain but your forgetting Rosa Klebb in From Russia With Love.
Good point! I guess I consider her a bit more of a right-hand woman to Blofeld, since she was working under his orders. Elektra was the boss here and the plan was hers from the beginning.
@@Flix2Us In that case should Largo from Thunderball also be considered a henchmen for the same reason.

Maybe not .45 ACP rounds, .357 Magnum rounds or Rifle rounds/Rifle like rounds but ya never really know Elektra King probably is physically strong 💪 enough/physically tough 😤 enough of a fighter/lover/villainess 2 survive being hit in the chest by more 8 9x18 Makorav rounds (bullets)/more than 10 9x19mm rounds (bullets) without Bulletproof/Bullet Resistant Armor Vest right 2 the point in the maiden's tower scene as Zhukovsky's clearly/obviously going 2 shoot her in the chest with his HK MP5K/instead of

John Cleese as the new Q is one of the worst choices in movie casting history!
You need to skip the next film.... terrible..
I hate this movie. In my opinion, it is the very worst Bond movie. The next one is the second worse. Pierce Brosnan was a good Bond, but had the two worst movies in the franchise. His first two were good, so I don’t know how the next two could be so horrible
Well that's your opinion, I think it's the next best Brosnan film after GoldenEye, not near as amazing sure but not one of the worst ever Bond movies, certainly better than TND which was cheesy and ridiculous.
on second thought, let's not go to camelot. tis a silly place
my review of the movie
or was that the next one
