Die Another Day - Fencing Scene Part 1 [HD].avi

[normalpsychology]

Excuse me, but could someone tell me what the interesting-looking drink "Frost" or whatever his name is, is drinking in this clip? Thank you in advance.

[mzytryck]

What I find really embarrassing about this fight is that it is linked to videos like the Christopher Lee fight in The Four Musketeers, or the climax of Rob Roy. Linking those VERY good fights with this mess is an outrage. (I know there's no real way to avoid it, but still!)

[subzerowarrior1]

I hated this movie when I saw it years ago and still hate it to this day.

[Mandrakil]

@subzerowarrior1 Apparently you hate it enough to actively search it out on youtube and spend time commenting on it?

[subzerowarrior1]

@Mandrakil No I didn't search, it was a recommended video and since I had forgotten how bad it was I had to see it again. Nice try though!

[dreamcaster4eva2011]

5 people like cock fights and aren't James Bond.

[Reksly]

The only horrible thing about this scene is this despicable thing they call fencing. I am a fencer and any other fencer worth their salt will tell you they did this horribly. Any further questions I will be more than happy to answer.

[bobloblaw50]

@Reksly In addition, epee's rhythm is far more bouncy and patient than this mad sabre-esque disaster.

[Reksly]

@bobloblaw50 lol thank you those are all of the things that I noticed you make me proud XD plus they are actually trying to parry in epee, last I checked that's not the way things worked lol

[abstraektiivanz]

@Reksly Parrying in epee isn't uncommon; in fact, it's an important part of it. It's just not as important as in foil or saber.

As soon as I saw the fencing in this scene... *facepalm*

[Reksly]

@abstraektiivanz well true I guess the people I do epee with don't really parry too much. but yes there were facepalms aplenty when viewing this scene lol

[MEGAl0lMANIA]

Great cockfight! :D

[bobloblaw50]

Cool, I'm an epee too. If you don't know what that means look it up. By the way, let it be know that real fencing is not nearly this classy. Its hot, sweaty, and dirty haha. Really fun though. Btw the grip they are using is called a french grip. It gives longer reach but makes parrying difficult.

[Reksly]

@bobloblaw50 please tell me you noticed all their mistakes in this scene. 

[bobloblaw50]

@Reksly Of course. They would be black carded at any match nearly immediately if not outright laughed off strip. They should have a corp-corp(i think thats how its spelt) red card every five seconds. On a more technical note: 1. They seem to be fencing with right of way... in epee. 2. They seem to be waving their blades a lot for epee, more like foil. 3. All that body contact... 4. White mesh masks look stupid hahaha

[555paint]

that was Madonna? Em never recognized her--god she is a terrible actress

[werdchester]

everyone stop. Madonna did just fine here. calm yourselves.

[BrocxMalaak]

I think people who already hate Madonna obviously hate this scene. I agree she's usually a terrible actress and I'm one of the biggest Madonna fans, have all her singles, remixes, etc. I love her movie The Next Best Thing, but she never emotionally connects with her characters. However, for a two minute scene, that involves no emotion, and is direct reading a script just blabbing about a fencer, I think she did well. Leave bias out of it.

[TheBoshman95]

@mrmemanme That's true! Much better than a pistol grip!

[gayham]

i dont think she was any camper or worse than Piers Brosnon to be fair

[Irmasterlol]

1:13 katanas... You can't explain that.

[CrazyMitch89]

god... madonna is the worst actor i've ever seen.

[Airlessarab]

@CrazyMitch89 actress*

[TheBoshman95]

Why are they all using French Grips?

[mrmemanme]

@TheBoshman95 They look better than pistol grips, if they used pistol grips everybody would say the film was "innacurate" and stupid crap like that. They look more like real swords than pistol grips.

[Apollomasque]

For a sophisticated, globe-trotting intelligence operative, James Bond makes an awful lot of boner jokes.

[theduke502]

Three people couldn't keep their "tip up" XD

[Supplementreviewdude]

Overdosed on steroids for fencing ey?

[HelterSkelterSOR]

HOLY FUCK THATS MADONNA

[VALLESIDE818]

madonna is a trashy whore that cant act or sign gtfoo

[newyears912]

1:18 Awwee sheiiit He said it yall!

[Irrelivance]

Where did he put the diamond?

[KiraYamato1928]

@Irrelivance i dont really know, but i assume that fencing pants, or "knickers" have pockets

[lucas5147]

@KiraYamato1928 no, I practice fencing and the pants have no pockets

[camero56]

3:25 for jack and alex

[sonicfangamer2]

'COURSE I WANT TO BLOODY CONTINUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[xThexLionxWithxWeed4]

On 0:17 He should have said "certainly".

[sqiao12345]

They're fencing epee. XD I fence sabre!

[MrDudeMikey]

is it me or are they doing foil style fencing with epees??

[LinelleF]

they have no electric vest in and are not connected XD fail

[dwwooful]

@LinelleF it's epee. no vest; full body

[LinelleF]

@dwwooful ok sorry you're right ^^

[KiraYamato1928]

@dwwooful yeah, and notice that the hand guards are collasal... typical of an epee :)

[KiraYamato1928]

@dwwooful but its french grip, not pistol grip... so ... idk what so say...

[pyranology]

Jesus Christ, people need to take the stick out of their asses and open their eyes. Madonna's scene was less than 2 minutes long; it was fine. If it were any other actress or extra, NO ONE would make a fuss about it.

If you honestly want to watch a Madonna trainwreck, go watch Swept Away or something.

Otherwise get the fuck over yourselves. 

[billa107]

@pyranology Or her Halftime Show.

[sangminlee48]

@CodyIsNotDesperate1 I didn't know that until now...

[verfugbarkite]

Ponce

[Sunsetsmiles3]

I love this scene but part 2 is where the ACTION starts

[Invinciblez18]

of course i wanna BLOODY CONTINUE

[percyth11]

Are those foils they are fencing with?

[thesexysithguy]

@percyth11 those are epees

[HarunDanyal]

"Bond, James Bond." AHAHAHAHAHAH

[Artokaas]

i just don't really see what's so bad about madonna in this scene. 

[Hoover7048]

@Artokaas I agree. I think she's good in this scene, but it had a lot of critisism. I don't get it..

[BrickLaneBetty]

@Hoover7048 She has a terrible speaking voice. nothing she can really to about it. You can hear her listening to her own vice. Intrinsically insincere.

[werdchester]

@BrickLaneBetty

false.

[Chris62007]

@Artokaas She Sung the Title Song, And She Was Asked To Be In It. She Didn't Want To ... But They Insisted And BAM... She In The Scene.

[KudoKaitou]

gosh when i watch this movie at the age of 10. i never even realize the dirty joke they make in this movie.

[Dudin4tor]

Innuendo right off the bat, huh?

[SomethingEls]

very good ending for part one!

[replyandyousuckballs]

this movie is over the top worthless trash from beginning to end.

no surprises they booted brosnan he was all over by the time this junk came out, they needed a reboot.

what would have been next after an invisible car?

they would have had to miniaturize bond and inject him into a rabbit.

[Searchinganswers]

I have been known to keep my tip up. Coooooooooooooome on!

[Stargate174]

Our Queen did good and the music video for this theme is beast! by her. One of her best ^__^

[Sunsetsmiles3]

YES I WANT TO BLOODY CONTINUE!!!! Lol

[eyesinthedark66]

I think this scene shows quite clearly that nobody involved in this movie had even the *slightest* idea of epee fencing...

[NicholasGeschke]

@eyesinthedark66 I disagree. Their form, while unorthodox, is actually along the lines of traditional dueling.

Granted, this is just Hollywood sword fighting - and anything less than attempting to disarm, injure or kill your opponent is only playing with weapons - but that's not really something most take into account when watching a film.

[eyesinthedark66]

@NicholasGeschke ah, I'm talking in terms of sport fencing rules. If it was just a duel, then yeah, but this is olympic fencing, which has a set of rules/conventions that make it very easy to win against somebody who isn't following them.

They're using epees, but this looks more like foil fencing. Decent foil fencing, but epee is *very* different, and you'd quickly lose if you tried fencing like this in an epee bout.

and yes, I know I'm a pedant

[NicholasGeschke]

@eyesinthedark66 Actually I think you're rather educated. A rarity on YouTube if I do say so myself. Very refreshing.

[marcsman229]

@NicholasGeschke  fags

[ArGyProductions]

Leon Paul... Thumbs up if (you know what i'm talking about)

[kunwulf]

@ArGyProductions I was like ..."FIE?....naw"

[mikeparez]

I thought she did pretty good here, far from terrible

[necropathos]

Tip up? I see what he did there.

[amarsbarr]

Madonna has received how many golden raspberry's for worst actress? lol 

[StallioN0of0MeadoW]

In real fencing, en garde only means get in your stance, not "start fighting". It should have been en garde, près (means "ready?") allez (means "go"). Dont know if its different in the states but in France and Québec its like that. :P

[ProtestTheIndie]

@StallioN0of0MeadoW

It's not different anywhere (bar the slight difference of saying 'en garde, ready, fence'). They just didn't do any research before filming this.

Oh and btw, it's 'pret' like in 'Pret A Manger' (ready to eat)

[StallioN0of0MeadoW]

@ProtestTheIndie yeah I know and itrs prêt but I saw after writing it, no need for the translation im french dude -__- and its "Prêt à manger" with accents and no capitals with the a and m if we're going into details

[ProtestTheIndie]

@StallioN0of0MeadoW

Sorry man, I didn't realise. I don't have the accents on my keyboard and I couldn't be arsed with finding them to copy and paste. Not that I want to argue, but I was referring to the sandwich shop chain which does use capitals.

[inamonianim]

The problem with the Brosnan bond is that he always goes OTT when interacting with the villains the first time round. He basically exposes himself as a spy as soon as he reveals the diamond he found in Cuba.

[rutgerusvan]

Brosnan is not the best but this scene is good

i preferd dalton,moore and connery

[kkn93dgo]

1:17 "bond, james bond" uuuuuh ilove it!!!

[RPGamer05X]

omg pierce brosnan will be the best bond ever by far!!

[AlbertoEscalante15]

To me, he's the best Bond ever, classic. Whenever I think of James Bond he always comes to mind first before any of the other ones. And Madonna, not very interesting in this scene, though I love her. It would have been great if they would've made a movie where Madonna was Madonna and James Bond was in a mission to save her.

[NathanCoalbine]

Gustav: Verity and Mr?

Bond: Bond, James Bond.

Gustav: Have we met before?

Bond: Yes when you were an asian guy and I killed you but somehow you're back from the dead reincarnated as a British guy now

Gustav: I see, of course.

[ashtonmadhatter]

Pierce Brosnan can kick Daniel Craig's ass as James Bond any day.

[MrMatthewUnger]

I actually thought it was a good idea to end it here. ?

[appletisha27]

Toby Stephens.... ahhhh mazing... i luv his tight muscle shapped body... aww .

[TheDalinkwent]

I actually liked Gustave Graves as a villain and his plan to become the enemy so he could destroy them. It's too bad he was saddled with a less than stellar Bond movie.

[NoirFemme]

Sexy Toby Stephens!

[bloodyrose1985]

"No thanks. I don't like cockfights." ROFLMAO! Classic line

[PeterPalfrei]

Didn't anyone noticed Pierce's jacket doesn't cover his crotch.

I got hit in my left nut a couple of weeks ago so I consider crotch protection important.

[StallioN0of0MeadoW]

Damn, not using the "près? allez!" in fencing the "en garde" is supposed to mean "get in your stance" not "fight!" the "près? allez!" follows the stance and means "ready? go!"...

[Needham90]

Epee - so cool even James Bond uses it :P

Even if it is a French grip! ;D

[Skelex20]

Started watching the video...saw Madonna attempting to act...paused the video...posted this...and closed the tab.

[seanw23]

@Skelex20 it's... consider a... parting favor.

most of the singers doing a soundtrack ask this in return from directors.

Mya was in Everything or nothing only for a short while and she did the soundtrack for that game.

[paulimadonna]

@Skelex20 MADONNA SAID....I DON'T LIKE COCKS FIGHT......I GUEES SHE IS A LESBIAN IN THE MOVIE

[belias360]

@Skelex20 Well damn, I've seen worse acting. Her role didn't exactly call for anything dramatic, LOL

[painofsalvation80]

@Skelex20 She's not that bad, i've seen far worse.

[pqstr]

@Skelex20 what's so wrong with her acting? at least in this video

[RaptorRex89]

@pqstr Hyperbolic exaggerations from someone on the internet trying to be funny.

[TheseNuts86]

What the hell? It was just starting to get better?

[Shorty15c4007]

@TheseNuts86

THats why there is a part 2

[UnderclassHero473]

is it me or where they using epee's with foil rules? Note the en'guarde positions and the fact that bond didnt get a point for his attack on bustavs wrist

[oeppevnvpeb]

what a sore loser!

[FoilDale]

the weapons looks more epee then foil

[ninjuhmunkey]

lol not sure how his hand got hurt... a flick?

[gamblersruin]

epee - it needs no lame.

[kobold86]

Is this meant to be epee or foil? The weapons look like foil, but they don't have the electric lamee.

[Raknarf44]

@kobold86 The weapon is an Epee, note the huge bell-guards
