Best of Bond : 20 Significant Scenes part 1/2

[lionsden1212]

For #15 the best man one...this scene was actually from the bond BOOK live and let die... except Leiter was snooping and he wasn't getting married

[MiamiInHorror]

I didn't really find Dent's death in cold blood, because he tried to kill him first and was working for Spectre, so really it's not that cold?

I don't think Bond really did ever kill anyone in cold blood.

As Scaramanga said "..the English don't think

it's sporting to kill in cold blood."

[Mika151]

George lazenby is the best bond.

Majesty's service, For your eyes only and from russia with love are the best movies!

[95MisterBond777]

Frechheit eines der besten Bond-Szenen mit perfekt abgestimmten Sound NUR auf Platz 20 zu setzen, der gehört in die TOP 5 !

[DimitrisD007]

I believe you are wrong............Pierce Brosnan was very good in all bond movies that he played........Brosnan= Best james bond....!!!!

[rawman18]

@DimitrisD007 Sorry dude , but there is no competition. Daniel Craig is the best. His interpretation of james bond is far superior. Pierce Brosnan played to much of a comical james bond IMO.

[DimitrisD007]

@DimitrisD007 your opinion......for me the best james bond and most iconic is Pierce Brosnan for ever...!!!

[oregonninetwentynine]

That "The Spy Who Loved Me" submarine scene is controversial because Anya acts all scared and surprised like any normal person would be when you drive a car randomly into the ocean... minutes later... she tactically takes out the enemy sub using the Lotus' smoke screen and an underwater land mine which surprises Bond. She then claims that she stole the blueprints for that car 2 years ago. Hmm.

[alonewithduanebarry]

Critics suck.

[blodin98]

oh wait i forgot to attach the bungee cord to meeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!

[Ellidyre]

I think that when Blofeld is not seen, when all you see is him stroking his cat, or you only hear his voice he's much more threatening. Mainly because he could be anybody. Not knowing who the enemy truly is, makes it that much more threatening

[robertowraith1993]

so that is blofeld in for your eyes only at the begining????

[dwswh2]

i love these insights and these scenes are great, i think the skiing scenes in ohmss were brilliant and they definitely started a great trend of chases in the snow!

[ar2014]

i think that goldeneye script was made for Dalton

[MrBbendiksen]

I love the part in Licence to Kill when Felix ask about his wife, and Dario says, "We gave her a nice honeymoooooooonnn!!"

[Christmasman11]

i hate tis song

[999GHz]

@Christmasman11 The person who directed the music for the James Bond movies just passed away...thought you should know.

[Christmasman11]

@999GHz yer sorry about that just realised that that day my headphones were not fully in and broken. This gave the music a disco, distortionat sound that was the reason for me not liking this song. I did not mean to cause offense simply expressing an opinion.

[giggedy4goo]

I've seen every Bond, most many times and am still surprised at the brief scene that was so good when Roger Moore played Bond. For Your Eyes Only, not one of the best but 2:44 - 3:16 is classic. The dummy coming out of the window at 3:12 was something rarely done. They must have been surprised it came out perfectly at the end of the scene, no way they timed that perfectly.

[TheReditz]

number 10 clip bond didnt get the answer from bad guy asked him who he worked for then shot him

[TheCrossbow1]

Yellow on White - brilliant...

[criticreddy567]

background score is equally amazing 

[musicalglenn]

quick tip to w2dot...try to make your font text readable against the background,...also...try to give the viewer a chance to read the text...great collection otherwise.

[cameronboy18]

Great video.

[expanding]

The statement about Brosnan is totally subjective. I agree that GoldenEye was a good one, but mainly thanks to Famke Janssen and Alan Cumming. The World is not Enough (title taken from OHMSS) was, in my opinion, less than mediocre. A total waste of the great Robert Carlyle.

[w2dot]

IMO it is the direction (except GE) of his films that lacked in substance. The whole package doesn't feel complete. And I do agree with you about TWINE - as a whole it is visually unspectacular, but looking at Brosnan alone, I think it's his second best performace

[whatuswattingat]

@expanding The World Is Not Enough would have been great if Denise Richards wasn't in it (No substance at all!). I really liked the film. "Tomorrow Never Dies" was ALMOST ruined by the hammy performance of Johnathan Pryce (Who wasn't a really effective villian), and the uselessness of Teri Hatcher (VERY WOODEN). Michelle Yeoh was excellent and held her own. "Die Another Day" was pretty cool too, especially when Halle Berry and Rosamound Pike had their fight scene. Goldeneye is classic.

[greyztone]

"The serious tone remained until Glen's final tenure in Licence to KIll"

Have you seen Octopussy and View to a Kill?

[LayItPlayItDown]

Compared to the preceding "Moonraker", & "The spy who loved me" it's definitely a more serious tone. But compared to those kitschy plastic films almost anything is ;)) I think that's what he meant, that's my own opinion anyway.

[greyztone]

Yeah, For Your Eyes Only definitely is more serious, but the last two Moore films which Glen directed are really cheesy.

[LayItPlayItDown]

I agree that they are cheesy compared to "For your eyes only", but still think that they are more serious than "Moonraker" & "The spy who loved me".

And on a unrelated note,

i like John Barry's soundtrack to the last films he did aswell & the only reason for why "For your eyes only" can't become a favorite of mine is the horrible soundtrack by Bill Conti, that ruins the scenes for me. Just compare the vibe in OHMSS with FYEO during the ski chases for instance.

Anyway ;)

[lahainawhaler]

Very good to watch but the yellow text is hard to read at times against (bright) scenes.

[BatmanTasFan22]

This is a great list, your a true Bond fan.

[NTDev88]

"They told me you where assasinated in Hong Kong..."

"Yes, this is my second life..."

"You only live twice mister Bond."

[johnnyjordan93]

I've got to say, the pre-title sequence of The Spy Who Loved Me is the best pre-title sequence of all Bond films. Not to mention this film is the best bond film of the 1970's.

[Tosterday]

the lotus scene is the best man just look at that sub marine car. brilliant.

[redbulldog]

Moore was really excellent at the "badass killer" scene eg Locque and the tie on the Egyptian roof (TSWLM).

They should have given Roger more (Moore?) of those scenes and fewer silly jokes.

[puccini007]

hey w2dot,

you said you disagree when people (myself included) consider TSWLM Rog's best 007 outing. which one is your favourite?

[w2dot]

I prefer his last 3 movies (FYEO, OP, AVTAK). They're far from masterpieces, but hey it's personal preference =)

What I think counts against TSWLM is that it is nearly identical to YOLT and MR (same director, coincidently...not). It is the best of the 3 clones and suits Moore's interpretation best. What's brilliant about TSWLM is Adam's set, the stunts, the car, Jaws and the setting. The plot, story and other characters, bleh

[FixerSevScorch]

@w2dot tbh, i thought it was the least gripping

[puccini007]

The living daylights was the beginning of a new Bond (Dalton)

So, the other two MI6 agents seen (one killed, the other cut off from the exercise)  were meant to reflect Roger Moore and George Lazenby.

[w2dot]

An era which I loved. Guess people weren't ready for a serious Bond then.

[goldengun5980]

how many of these guys hate highs.. seriuosly.

[11iop]

well what i meant was have no symapthy for you :D

[11iop]

yeah i do agree with the locque thing. bond is a guy who if you piss him off, will have no sympathy for him - simple as that. you will lose against him.

[edenriot]

"....you've had your six."  Brilliant.

[w2dot]

Yup, the OHMSS soundtrack is brilliant

[pulverapa]

you just got to love when the music changes and these bad guys show up with their guns skiing. Impressive.

[itwontcomeout5678]

love that music! very action-ridden, just like OHMSS!

[mcm0rris1]

Brosnan wasn't able to replicate his "Goldeneye" approach because that script was written with Dalton in mind. The other films found the Moore humor and campiness.

[w2dot]

Yep, unfortunately. The Brosnan era would've been so much cooler with better direction

[IamKesyerSoze]

I never thought about that but it maybe true. Its especially and painfully obvious in Die Another Day.

[ladycplum]

I definitely agree with you that the unseen Blofeld is the most menacing. Don't even get me started on how much I despise Telly Savalas.

[w2dot]

Exactly, he doesn't need the physical deformaties to make him menacing, just like Dominic Greene in Quantum of Solace. I don't really like Telly's Blofeld either, I don't have a real reason, but he's def got the best dialogue out of the 3 times he's shown himself

[jumpingspoon]

telly was horrible, but pleasance (yolt) was exactly what I imagined Blofeld would look like.

[ladycplum]

A lot of people say, believe it or not, that Max Von Sydow was a great Blofeld, in the wrong movie!

[jumpingspoon]

was he the creepy christopher walken one? haha...i have nightmares about him sometimes

[ladycplum]

No, Walken played the crappy Zorin in the equally crappy A View To a Kill

[WooshOnGuitar]

No Walken played the excellent Zorin in the crappy A View TO A Kill

[reimagined]

True. Walken good. AVTAK bad.

[eddyc09]

ya the duran duran theme song was awesome to one of the best but the movie sucked lol

[bigzooweek]

love scene 19

[poloago]

love it
