  • With that said. this is my favorite movie of all time, and I love this fight scene. My parents use to take me to Blockbuster and let me pick out 1 movie, and every time, I would choose this one, even though I had already seen it 50 times. Good times.

  • What I like is how dirty a fight it is, Bond throws a mess of chains at Trevelyan at :58, fuckin' street!

  • A splendid fight scene. The only problem I have with it is at 1:06, where he doesn't shoot him.

    The whole time he's waiting, I'm going: He's still alive. He's still alive. He's still alive. He's still alive. He's still alive. He's still alive. He's still alive. He's still alive!

    "You know James?"

    This better be important!

    "I was always better."

    And your stupid ass deserves to die!

  • @artiepoore That's a trope called "Bond Villain Stupidity". Google it. Bond films wrote the book on that type of shit. It's described as "an occurrence when a villain fails to kill the hero when he has him cornered, incapacitated, or otherwise defenseless, thus giving the hero a chance to escape and later come back to defeat the villain".

  • Great fight but Daniel Craig would own Sean Bean big time:)

  • Although this whole scene is well done, I would say that 0:25-0:29 is my favorite part. I think the sound of those pipes hitting the floor adds to the intensity of the fight. They really want to kill each other!

  • For England, James?

  • @BladeravenGaming no for me

  • I have always thought this to be the best Bond Fight but hey every one to their own

  • This is a great fight scene. What I love about it is that it manages to be very intense while still being very realistic. There's no "Matrix"-style flips or slow-mo punches to the face...just an intense, realistic brawl.

  • ONE OF THE BEST FIGHT SCENES EVER

  • 90's James Bond is unforgetable & unbelivable ! Thumps up if you agree with my statetment !

  • I always had a fondness for this scene. I was probably 12 when Goldeneye came out but I remember being aware of how brutal and visceral it was. Still one of the better examples of Bond being a truly world class operator.

  • Its like a more realistic looking Bourne fight. Totally forgot how awesome this scene is.

  • this is the only bond movie with the pipe dropping in a tunnel sound effect one of the best bond fights and movie

  • This fight was amazing, and the fact that it was realistic looking gave it that edge.

  • Pierce Brosnan > Daniel Craig

  • I am so glad someone posted this and stated the pure and simple fact that this IS one of the best fights ever put on film. Everyone mentions the train fight in FRWL but thats just because its so old. THIS fight is fucking awesome, and so much better. Gotta love all the brutal headbutts - missing from the UK version of the film until the Ultimate Editions came out!

  • This has got to be the best bond fight ever, the actors did the stunts themselves real gritty and portrayed well and looks realistic too.

  • @1A157 They did everything but the wall through the wall :)

  • 0:50 Ouch...

  • my favorite bond for sure, and they STILL cant make a good bond game since goldeneye

  • You know James.....I was always better.

  • Brosnan was always the best bond.

  • @joecrookes And always will be!

  • @rhysie21 All the previous Bonds, Connery, Lazenby, Moore, and Dalton all bled from their fights and they bled from punches in their face. Brosnan's Bond never bled.

  • @nza8888 apart from after the fencing/sword fight in Die Another Day

  • this is by far my favorite bond movie!

  • 'FOR ENGLAND JAMES?'...'NO..FOR ME!'

  • @CrazyCleatus420 Yes, Alec would have finished off James if Natalya hadn't provided the distraction.

  • The bit with the chain always makes me really laugh! This is such a good scene, I like the 'peace' at the end, excellent!

  • Trevelyan was the fucking man =D

  • @MischiefMeerkat Sean Bean is the man!

  • What a great fight, this was pierce Brosnans best Bond film, and Sean Bean portrayed a great villain!

  • where's the rest of the fight?

  • ♫ Everyone who thinks this fight looks very realistic,

    PLEASE thumb up!

    PLEASE thumb up! ♫

  • Whoever said Pierce couldn't be tough? Lol

  • 0:18 Bond got pwn3d

  • they really went to town with this closequater fight scene.

  • Epic movie, epic game. Period!

  • this was defiantly the high light of sean bean's career, now he is in movies like (the hitcher remake) O_O, lets just say there is no light at the end sean beans tunnel.

  • @bladerunner7522

    the man dies in like every movie he's in anyway so what difference does it make? He'll be alright.

  • @bladerunner7522 Shame, hes a great actor..

  • is the shockmaster serouisly hes a moron to say casino royale rules it sucks omg u know nothing bout james bond

  • 1:00 epic miss :P

  • I ALWAYS loved how he threw the chains against the wall, I always felt that added realism to the fight...it wasn't precise or coordinated, it was just a dogfight at that point.

  • i totally agree, this is one of the best fight scenes ever because the realism, watching asian fight scene is cool and everything but watching two spy people fight with such brutalness and making sure the cameraman knew where to look wheither its at the gun when it was about to go off or when the camera was lookin down when 006 threw the low punch and 007 blocked it, it was just amazing. Yeah, this is one of the best fight scenes ever

  • "OOOSH!" "OOOF!"

  • Sometimes people ask the question, "What if James Bond had to fight James Bond?" Basically, what if a double-oh, the deadliest secret agent in cinema, had to fight another double-oh? What would it look like?

    This scene answers that question pretty well, if you ask me. These guys just look like they're throwing every skill they've ever learned at each other. It's epic and brutal.

  • BTW does anyone know the name of the theme that played during the Prison scene and the 007 vs 006 scene?

  • Did you guys know that the theme that played through this whole sequence, was remixed into the GoldenEye game for N64?

    This was the best Bond movie ever!

  • The best Bond fist fight since From Russia With Love and proof that Pierce Brosnan was more than capable of looking physically good at fisticuffs (it's all a question of staging the fight sequence adn then editing it suitably.) Martin Campbell is one of the best Bond directors EVER.

    Unfortunately we'd never see Brosnan's Bond look this good in a punch up again.

  • M9, from Mw2?

  • @AsDyingILay Browning BDM I do believe.

  • hmm.. you know james, I was always better. "ziiish pang" peace. xD

  • Always liked the scene right before this one where James throws the monkey wrench in the dish mech - just aft he pushes Alec over some sort of railing he gives him a quick shot in the leg - CRUEL but a great way to track him!!

  • this fight is so awesome but so short and it must have taken days to perfect it haha it looked like it was tough for the actors

    some please tell me they did not use stunt men that would make me sad if they did lol

  • Really realistic fight, definetly the best Bond fight ever! Pierce Brosnan was so dangerous!

  • @HogwartsCastle it would make your eyes water abit

  • Alec trevelyan was a bloody superb baddie. Sean bean played him to perfection. And this has gotta be one of the best fights ever done. The closest bonds been to getting beat

  • @kottto22 Amen. Killing off 006 was foolish...he could've been an incredible recurring villain for Brosnan's 007.

  • Sean Bean. Legend.

  • @thechosenrabbit

    I reckon Sean Bean would have made a good James Bond

  • "I was always better."

  • Comment removed

  • I used to jump around my living room pretending I was in this fight while the movie was on as a kid, its so epic

  • lol

  • hahaha i was thinking of that on a previous video

    i used to do that to this movie 2

  • This one, Connery vs. Shaw in From Russia with love, The butler against the evil henchfeller in the Living Daylights, are for me, the best Bond fights.

    Craig vs. the African warlord in Casino Royale is good too.

  • Imagine if Bond fought like this against xenia. She would have got fucking obliterated lol.

  • Chivalry eh?

  • i love this fight

  • this movie and gross pointe blank and the bourne supremacy are the best most realistics fights ever put to screen.

  • The Bourne Supremacy? One of the most unrealistic fights I've ever seen.

    Far too staged, choreographed and fluid to be believable. More like a dance than a fight.

  • Whereas this is anything but-- while you know that since these are both actors that it has to be choreographed at least somewhat, this doesn't LOOK that way like the Bourne fights did-- these two 00s are tearing into each other with the base savagery of two pissed-off pit bulls-- the attacks they use here are as much bare-knuckle street brawling as martial arts skill-- this fight is about as far as one can get from Matrix-style fights, and Brosnan and Bean both pull it off with style and class.

  • Exactly. Also several fights from the 2 Craig films come pretty close, as well as others from the Connery and Lazenby films.

  • One of the best fights of the 007 movies

  • this fight and the baseball furies and punks fights are probably he coolest moviefights i've ever seen!

  • From The Warriors? Dude...while I agree this is certainly one of the best and most realisticly choreographed fights I've seen, that other was so fake! Interesting movie, but they should have put a little more effort into the fight scenes.

  • The Warriors has some of the best fights ever seen!

  • He is worse than that. He is a fat transvestite.

  • No James Bond movie is not itself without a good few minutes of kickass fist-fighting.

  • peace jaja

  • a really fight......old school!

  • Down and dirty fight! If I only had the skill of either of them, I would rule my school. >:)

  • One thing that makes this fight great is that it's mostly the actors and not stuntmen, it's pretty sad when actors use doubles to throw a single punch.

  • I'm sorry to say it, but I have a feeling that Bond will never make this kind of comeback again.

    Sure, we might see more great Bond movies, but not quite as classic as Goldeneye.

    Goldeneye has something that can only be accomplished once.

  • So True!!!

  • @Laurelindo

    Well, for a while this was my favorite Bond movie because it had a good balance of action and character development (I especially love the line, "No, for me" at the end because it shows that James was defeating Alec as a person, not as an agent). In my opinion, Casino Royale has done better in both action and character development, and is now my favorite Bond movie. Goldeneye is still my immediate second favorite though. I actually think the musical score is better in Goldeneye.

  • @TheShockMaster I hesitate to say that Casino Royale was better in action, but I feel like the stronger plot elements of Goldeneye far outstrip the character development of Casino Royale. The poker-based plot sequences felt hollow, at least for me - even with only a passing interest in Hold 'Em, I found it frustratingly easy to predict the outcome with each hand, which made it feel like a waste of screentime. I also prefer Brosnan over Craig, for reasons I don't have enough space to elaborate.

  • @Laurelindo Completely agree, nothing will match this movie. My favorite by far. They all have good action, but this has best acting and great plot.

  • @Laurelindo amen

    Goldeneye IMO is the best bond movie. period.

  • @Laurelindo thats an opinion mate..

  • @Laurelindo

    you are correct.

    However I think the new casiono royale and quantum of solace are comparable

  • love it!

  • The best ever. We will remember you Goldeneye :(

  • Best fighting scene hands down... Never gets old. Simply excellent...

  • Comment removed

  • I didn't call him a pussy after this. I called him a pussy after all his other movies....

  • Yeah. His other ones aren't good... Too cheesy.

  • Ah, alright. As long as we're clear. Yeah, too bad they weren't epic like this film.

  • This film is the best of his series.

  • If he fought against xenia like this she wouldnt have stood a chance

  • Love this scene!

  • One of my favourite fight scenes of all time

  • :48 to :50 is awesome! kung fu. jujitsu or something else

  • Comment removed

  • Looks like a type of Ude Osae (literally "arm control"), which is commonly used in Jûjûtsu.

  • It really hurts too.

  • wow great scene but the screen to wobly reminds me of jason bourne ultimatum

  • Too bad your Jason Bourne Ultimatum was made 10 years after this huh?

  • i had a fight like this at my school last year...i even droped the guy on his head like in the movie

  • Not as elaborate as the fights in the Bourne movies, but this one doesn't look as heavily edited either.

  • wow bond movies can never be as awsome as this movie or the 007 goldeneye n64 game

  • I joined the German military for five years. Once I met a captain of the German Special Forces (KSK) and asked him how to finish an enemy in unarmed, close combat. He answered: " Just go "into" the guy!!" I have to remember his words each time I watch that scene!!

  • The most brutal and realistic fight scene for my oppinion was in "saving private ryan" (Actually I couldn`t stand it and watched it the first and only time when the movie was released in Germany 1997) But this one here is great, cause they fight like highly trained professionals!!

  • This was a great fight..I love how they were both equal it wasnt just Bond -the good guy- slapping 006 -the bad guy around- Great acting...best bond movie in my oppion!

  • i just love the fact that sharpe...i mean sean bean gets to say " you know james..... i was always better"

    have at you mo fo'

  • Well said sir.

  • I loved this fight scene. this was true battle of the titans. They were both trained in MI6, and have equal skill.

  • Lol, at 1:00 when he throws the chain and misses horribly, haha

  • haha. i know right? that was pretty funny.

  • 0:55 - 0:60 lol

  • This was a bad-ass fight scene; I don't know why it isn't mentioned more. I think this paved teh way for movies like The Bourne series and the current Bond in terms of realistic fight scenes.

  • And people say wrestling's fake lol

  • i like this bond knocked alec good in

    the nose

  • This is the best Bond fight so far IMO.

  • quantum of solace was terribly edited

  • This is really realistic - two agents, highly trained in close combat, are fighting each other...in other, older J.B. movies James is fighting like a grunt in a bar!! Craig even topped this with his physical performance - but Brosnan is second best for me. They play the role as professional killers - not pussies!!

  • Unfortunately Goldeneye was the only Bond movie so far, in which they characterized another member of the "00 - division" of MI 6!! Would be interesting to know more about it. Perhaps in a later movie. In the way the Craig stories are told I could imagine this without any problems!!

  • Such an awesome fight!

  • I love Goldeneye because of the close quarter fight scene, both of the guys did a great job in it.

  • What I don't get is that the action scenes in goldeneye were wayyyyyyyyyyy better than the later brosnan films. It just got way too cheesy. The fights here were realistic and way better. Even the sound effects were better. I hated all the other bond movies after this one. Thank god casino royale was directed by martin campbell.

  • ur damn rite this is one of the best ever defo the best bond one. the fight in from russia with love is pretty gud as well

  • i dont know who i think is better cus to be honest 006 did pretty well and he also is the only other character ive seen in the james bond series to ctully put up a good fight.

  • Do you mean Bond enemy? Jaws and Oddjob were good, and maybe even Xena lol

  • This fight gets my vote for being the best Bond fight. It was cool to see Bond have to have fight a man who had his same training! Bond had to fight another double O agent.

    Besides, I think Sean Bean would have made as good of a Bond as Bronson. I know he was in the running for the part at the time.

  • Seriously, that re-score guy needs to keep his hand off this scene, IT DOESN'T NEED ANY SCORE!

  • The talentless tunesmith David Arnold too needs to take note of this.

    He doesn't seem to realise that the best way to score a fight scene is to SHUT THE FUCK UP!

    John Barry had the good sense to do that during the Bond vs Grant scene.

    David Arnold - I'm tired of all your bullshit!

  • @thepassbastard

    To be fair - it's not Arnold's fault.

    He's paid to score each scene. It's then up to the sound editor and director to choose whether to use the music during each scene.

    I do agree that some later Bond movies are over scored. But that's not the composer's fault.

  • goldeneye is the best bond by far, pierce brosnan is the best bond by far.

  • I love fight's like this no music, no bullshit.

    just realistic fighting that you could learn a thing or to from.

  • Awesome camerawork!

  • I agree. You can follow the fight perfectly, the way it's supposed to be. I hate all that shaky camera and fast editing that ruins a good fight scene.

  • awesome two thumbs up

    props to the poster

  • Bruce Campbell did not directed this, it was Martin Campbell.

    Bruce C. is the main guy in the Evil Dead Trilogy.

  • Very gritty and brutal, extremely well done...no music so you can focus more on the fight. They sure don't make em like this anymore...

  • What about the "Bourne" movies?

  • To be honest, I haven't seen any of them.

  • Yes it's true the bourne films do have fighting like this but what gets my back up is the way people act like they've started it. Goldeneye is a better film than any of the Bourne films.

  • I agree but the new Bond and Bond film (Casino Royale) sucked really Hard and hopfuly the newist one that's coming out will redeem that shit movie, otherwise I might turn to the bourne movies.

  • I don't think it was too bad as a prequel to show how bond became bond but it certainly wasn't what we're used to with those long drawn out poker scenes but what ruined it for me was the absence of Q and his gadgets. I don't think he features in the new bond film either so hopefully it's got some redeeming action but still bond will always be better than bourne.

  • Well there was one very good reason why Q didn't appear in the film...He died in a car crash (so sad).

  • Yes and was replaced in the world is not enough and die another day by john cleese's Q so they still could have used him.(sad i agree though)

  • they were trying to make james bond more realistic so they cut the gadgets

  • yeah but they're being stupid considering the q character is based on a real person who invented gadgets in the navy whilst flemming was serving with them. gadgets such as maps and blueprints on napkins that only become visible when boiling water is added, lipsticks that shoot bulllets and pens that shoot poison darts so if that was the technology they had in 1945, i really don't see how removing the gadgets makes it MORE realistic.

  • no, stupid is being able to have a watch shoot out a grappling wire and propels you 20 feet out of a pit. an aston martin that goes invisible? please. I think the gadgets will come back in the 3rd Craig film, and also Q and Moneypenny will introduced as well, so I'm not really sweating there not being gadgets in the recent fimls

  • the wire actualy came out of a belt and yes the car was rather farfetched for the time (though camera-reflective stealth technology may become a possibilty over the next few decades) but the point I was making was that in the original Flemming books - Q and his gadgets were based on fact so I don't see how it makes it more real taking them away. Especially onsidering how much more advanced technology is today.

  • Um, you're wrong. Q was based on a gun expert and designer.

  • designer? um yes. designer of gadgets for the ministry of defence and navy dipshit

  • Not GADGETS, troglodyte. GUNS. I know it's confusing because they start with the same letter and all but I promise there is a difference.

  • Troglodyte? Well it takes one to know one. I watched a documenrty about Ian Flemming the other day and they interviewed the bloke who Q was based ons' son and he said he invented gadgets so fuck off.

  • Maybe the first one. The second two sucked balls.

  • I love throwing this in the face of all the Bourne fanboys.

  • Exactly!! There would be no Bourne if is wasn't for Bond! This fight scene is still amazing to this day!!

  • i think Bourne and Bond should fight eachother in Quantum of Solace.

  • bond would fuck him

  • mee too

  • me too
