 This time it works. So this is the one where he's driving and you're driving the other way. Welcome back to another episode of My Girlfriend Watches Bond. Hi! With My Girlfriend Lirit. This is episode four. Welcome back! Welcome back. So last time we watched GoldenEye and you gave GoldenEye an eight and a half. I did. Yeah, you did. You don't remember? Eight and a half. Eight and a half. So we're getting better each week basically. Yeah. Or each time. What do you remember of GoldenEye actually? They were in Russia. Yeah. And with the Dutch actress Vanke Janssen. That's right. And was it on a train? There was a train in it. Yeah. With a tank. They went through the city. Yeah, that's right. You actually do remember. Oh, in 006. 006. Yeah. You were broke. Yeah. For something like that. Exactly. Yeah. And then Bond had to go up against him. Yeah. That was the last. And then you spoke or something like that. Yeah. He had to talk. Yeah. We're back now to continue with Pierce Brosnan's Bond movies. Do you have any expectations or things you're hoping to see in this film? No, the same. More of the same? More of the same. I'm curious what happens next within. Okay. Also, two other Bond girls I see. Yeah. There is in every movie two Bond girls. With Pierce Brosnan there are mostly, yeah. So one bad and one good. Yeah. Maybe you can take a guess as the two Bond girls in today's Bond film. I think the one with the necklace is bad. And the one with the gun holding like this. The Asian one is good. Yeah. You're pretty spot on. So we're going to see the movie. And you'll see what type of Bond girls they are and what type of action you can expect this time. So it is that you're not interested in the kitchen house. So. Hi. Welcome back. We're back. We've just finished watching your Ford James Bond film, Tomorrow Never Dies. What did you think of it? Very good movie. Oh really? Yeah. It's better than the other one. Golden eyes. So we keep getting better then? Yes. Because I was quiet the whole movie. I was quite at nothing today. Focused on the action. Focused on the girl. Bond girl. She did it pretty well. You were impressed by this one? Yes. I didn't fall asleep. I'm actually. Yeah. I'm actually surprised. You like it even better than golden eyes. So with each week you like it better and better. So far we're going up. This movie, it was a joke. I'm sorry for the actor who's watching this. Jonathan Price is the actor. He plays, we could talk about him. Elliot Carver. So you thought he was a bit of a joke? Yeah. Could you elaborate a bit more? Why that was? His appearance. I didn't bother him. I kind of agree. I made a top ten Bond villains. I did not include him on there. I don't think he has a classic. No, he didn't have that spark from the evil bad side. Like that one license to kill. Franz Sanchez. Yes, he had that spark in his heart. I agree. I'm bad. What did you think of Elliot Carver? You didn't like him as a character, but what did you think of his evil scheme, his plan to provoke a war between England and China for television ratings? That's so stupid. Sorry. He wanted more ratings for his news and for his newspaper. Yeah. Back then of course there was no social media. Yeah, okay. In these days it could have been even more relevant because of how big the media is now compared to how big it was becoming in the 90s. It was a good story, but I wasn't buying it. No, I can see why. The script was very good. I'm really surprised you say that because I was thinking you would think that most Bond fans think this is just a standard action movie. The plot has been done a couple of times, but you didn't see the other film. Newspapers. It's so important for ratings and viewers that they start a war for it. It's kind of ridiculous, but it is kind of a Bond villain thing, but I can see where you're coming from. The villain, they had to cast another one. He had to help his right hand, that fatty, the chubby one. Gupta, yeah. I think he... You talked about this during the movie when you said that Gupta and Elliot Carver should have swapped roles in your opinion. I thought it was a very interesting... I've never heard anyone say that because Gupta is like a character that no one really notices. Yeah, that's why he had to be the villain in my eyes and he has that spark that he's like crazy. Yeah, and Gupta did have a much more interesting role initially. He was originally a magician and he was throwing cards. He was supposed to throw cards in the movie, but all those scenes were cut from the film. He is a professional card thrower where you can cut Malons with playing cards. He can really do that. Why did they cut it? They thought it was a bit over the top, I think. I wish they kept it in. The Bond girl, she throws like the stars things. That's true. Yeah, the ninja stars, the shurikens. Yeah, I think that's more acceptable because that's an actual weapon and cards aren't. But yeah, who knows. Speaking of the Bond girl, Whelan this time around. Yeah, she was bad as Whelan. It's getting better and better with the films. Yeah, it's true. She's very badass. She had this whole, how do you call it? Her house? Her hideout? Yeah, her hideout. She pushed that one button and everything in that five house was turned into a technical... Like spy stuff. Yeah. Now I agree. A female Jackie Chan, so to speak. Karate, she did all of that for real. Yeah, in Hong Kong, she's like a big action star now in Hollywood too, but she's definitely capable of doing that for real. She's very skilled. Michelle Yeoh is her real name. Michelle Yeoh? Yeah, definitely remember her. She's a good Bond girl. I completely agree. She really seems like Bond's equal. Yeah. Which I think is good. Definitely one of my favorite Bond girls as well. She's the first one of the Bond girls that she said in his face. Don't think about it. Don't get any ideas. She's not the first one, but she's the first one you saw. Yeah, true. Yeah, in the end of course Bond did... That position in front of him like... No, no, no. When they were on the bike. But she was like sitting like this? Speaking of that scene, I want to try and recreate that scene a little bit because during the movie we discussed that they were attached to each other. So, when I got here... When did you get there? I just picked it up before the video, sneakily. I didn't know that you had to see your house. I'm going to handcuff us together. Don't act like you've never done this before. Oh, shit! If we can do these positions as well. But they had like the handcuff. With the silver thingy in between this bag. I couldn't find a handcuff, honey. How did they do this? They had like a couple of positions. The car and the... This is difficult. You showed it the wrong way. You should be on the top. My watch is stuck. My watch. Wait, wait, wait. We'll do it again. Stay true. Watch out. Watch out. I should not cut my clothes. No, not the handcuff. The handcuff. I think... Like this? Yeah. This should be enough. All right. All right. Let's try it again. All right, try and get over my neck. Or did we do it wrong again? No. All right, this time it works. So this is the one where he's redriving and you're driving the other way. I almost get so fucked. You're driving. Like this. So, and then he was driving like this. But what, one arm? Yeah, well... He was driving... Oh no, he was driving like this. He was driving like this. What did you think of that scene, that action scene of them being handcuffed together on the BMW bike? Did you like that action scene or... Well, in the beginning that they fought about the bike or car, I saw us... Wow. Yeah, yeah. And then the action scene itself, there was a helicopter involved. They were driving over the rooftops in Vietnam. Did you like that action scene? Yeah. Just enjoyed it. Oh, I just enjoyed it. There was also another action scene. This is a really action-oriented movie, I think. The other one, the big one, is the one with the BMW car in the car park. Yeah. And we're on to sitting on the backseat driving the car with his phone. Like a Game Boy or something. Yeah, kind of like a Game Boy. What did you think of that scene? That's also one of the highlights. Is that real? No, he can't drive the car with a phone. No. But he is on the backseat filmed. How did they film that? I think there's just some guy that operating the car off-camera or something that maybe he's under the seat. I don't really know how to do it. Yeah, because you see clips of him with the car in front or at the side of the car and you see no one in the front seat. No, of course. That's how it's supposed to be filmed. But it's a good question, actually. I've seen a lot of behind-the-scenes footage of Bond films. I never really know how to do this, but there must have been some guy driving it. Anyway, so we talked about Wei Lin a little bit, the barn girl you really liked. But there was also a secondary barn girl, so to speak. Like some bear. Yeah, kind of like Lupe. He was on the bad side. Yeah, like Lupe, licensed to KLC, was the wife of the villain, Elliot Carver, Paris Carver, played by Terry Hatcher. Hey, Terry Hatcher. Oh, you can't Terry Hatcher. Say it's from Desperate Housewives. Yeah, I... I saw her from another series. Yeah, you knew about her. What did you think of her in this movie? Yeah, just the wife of... Yeah, I agree. And she didn't even make the last scene. She died in the hotel room. That's right. Bond was unable to save her in time. Speaking of that hotel room, that moves us into another exciting scene where Dr. Kaufmann shows up, the German assassin, a doctor of forensics assassin. What did you think of him? Stand up slowly. Drop your gun from the ticket door behind you. Well, I didn't like this character in the movie. It's just one short scene, but I think it's very memorable his scene. Well, not in my head. I think what fans really enjoy about that scene is that they all say and agree that that is one of the most badass kills that Bond makes. Well, in his head, but you don't see it. Yeah, you don't see it, but it's more of the line where he goes, wait, I'm just a professional doing a job. Yeah, me too. Yeah, but you don't see blood or anything you don't see in my mind. That's what you would like. You'd like to see the bullet. You'd kill him, right? Yeah. So not a big fan of Dr. Kaufman, then? No, not really. Well, he only shows up in one scene, of course. He's a minor character, but I think he's a very quirky character. It's memorable because he just shows up and then pretty cool scene. Anything else you want to mention about Derry Hatcher maybe or anything else? She only wore one dress, the black one. Yeah, that's true. Because in that scene where she was bad, she was like naked. Was she? Yeah, she was naked. She had only like the satin blanket on her. I think she's wearing the dress in that scene too, right? I don't know. I saw only like satin sheets. I think if she was naked, I would have remembered. But in all the scenes she does show up in a live, she's only wearing the dress. One black dress. Yeah, and of course she's without the dress when she's kissing Bond. Yeah. She's wearing a necklace. Oh, yes, she is. What do you know? With Stanford, you can totally see that's a German guy. Yeah, but he also, like, his hair is brown. You see in the film, his hair is brown, but if you see closely, his hair is brown. You can see that. Yeah, I think you're right. It's dyed. It's dyed. And he had two different color eyes. I was wondering if you noticed that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm so surprised you found that out in the first filming because I found that out only a couple of years ago. Really? Yeah, and I've been watching this as a child. I saw this and said, you watched it on your first film. Oh, you're right about that. Not a lot of people noticed that. Good call. There was another action scene. The movie started with a really action-heavy opening on the Arnav Bazaar, where the ballistic missile was flying towards Bond and he had to fly out of there. But all the beginnings of the Bond films always start with a military base, military, something, something. No, they don't, but it just happened to both start that way and then Bond and I and Tamar and I died in kind of a snowy area, both of them. Yeah. It just happens that the ones you've seen with Pierce Brosnan, they start... Only with these films. Yeah, it's definitely not every opening. But they all, especially the later ones that we're in now, always start with a pre-title sequence, which is like an action-oriented opening to get you pumped to see the rest of the movie and then it moves into the title song. That's the first thing I said to you. Oh, another base. Another army base. He said, no, no, no, this is a bazaar! Bazaar. What did you think of the scene, without it being another military base? Did you like it, did you find it thrilling? Well, they said... What did they say? White Knight? Bond was White Knight. Yeah, but I don't know White Knight. I don't know that he has another name. Oh, he doesn't, it's just in this film. A code name? Yeah. And to keep the audience enticed who the White Knight is. White Knight, come in! He tried that. White Knight, come in! You guessed it too, you were like, Oh, White Knight must be Bond. It's not really a big surprise, of course, but... Yeah. They were like... Kind of fighting. Yeah. And he just shuts her up. Like, no, I'm in charge here. And then she was robbed. And then later in the movie she kind of gets back at him with the remark of the bulls. Yeah. Forgive me, I don't think you have the bulls for this job. And she's going, well, the advantage is I don't have to think with them. Yeah. Also with the scene in the car. And what's her name? What's her name? In the front seat, her name? No, Money Penny. They were talking about, you just have to find out how much pumping is needed. Yeah. He was like, looking at them like... Yeah, now he has like two women going at him at the office. Money Penny is the one he usually flirts with. That's the tradition in all the Bond movies. Money Penny is like the secretary of M, but now that M is also a woman. It's like two women going at him, and I like that name, normally. Okay, Money Penny was in all the other films also. Yeah. But before we forget, we didn't talk about Bond himself this time around. He was once again played by Pierce Brosnan, his second Bond film. You saw his first film too. What did you think of him in this film? Kind of weird, because every time in every movie James Bond is always wearing his suit. That's an Bond statement. Of course, he's James Bond. So you liked him again? Yeah. He saved the world without any cuts on his face or any like bullets in his body. Yeah. Quite weird. That's James Bond for you basically. It gets different in the newer films. Yeah. It gets bruised all the time. Yeah, that's like real. It's like the different times now. That's what audiences want now. That's the thing with Bond. They always move with the audience. There was also, before I forget about it, but I thought celebrity in this film made a cameo, and I was curious if you were going to pick it up. The camera turned to James Bond and then I saw Daphne Lecker. Excuse me, Mr. Carver. This is the new banker, Mr. Bond. James Bond. She didn't change a bit. No, she didn't. This is something for the viewers, because most viewers wouldn't know who Daphne Lecker is. It's only the Dutch viewers know. But you immediately picked it up as well. And she still looks pretty much like that. Yeah. She hasn't changed, basically. So to sum it up, we've watched Tomorrow Never Dies and now you like this the best yet out of the four we've watched. Which I'm very surprised by, because most people prefer GoldenEye over Tomorrow Never Dies. I like that you like it even better. But now I'm really curious. Well, I liked the story better, but I think the Bond girl is better than GoldenEye. I think the script is better than GoldenEye. But the villain? Yeah, he's also handsome. Yeah, okay. Not that I care about a handsome villain. But you're awesome. But Anyway, a rating this time. I'm really curious what rating you're going to give it this time around. What did I give GoldenEye? A eight and a half. You went from a six to a seven and a half to License to Kill, then an eight and a half to GoldenEye. I changed GoldenEye. Yeah, that's easy. Okay, but what would you give this movie? 8.6 then. 8.6, sweet. It beat GoldenEye slightly. So, we're going to be back for another My Girlfriend Watches Bond episode next time. Speaking of next time, I'm always asking you, what do you want to do next time? We could move on to the next one that features Denise Richards. Yeah, everybody said to me she is like very bad in acting in this movie. So, I'm very exciting. But most of you are very excited to watch my opinion about what's that one. Die Another Day. That's going to be painful to watch. What if I like that one? I would be surprised if you do it. So, let's start with the one from What's Her Name with the blonde hair. Denise Richards. So, we're just going to move to the next one coming after Tomorrow Night Dies. Yeah, because I want to see her acting. Yeah, okay. We'll be back. We'll just continue with the Brosnan films next time. Oh, please also. Yeah, Brosnan still has two left. You did four Bond films. So, we'll be watching Brosnan's first film. We'll be back for episode 5. Take care, guys. I hope you enjoyed once again. Oh, just one moment. He has a new Instagram. Oh, yeah. What does it call? Dutch Bond fan. You can follow me there. I forget to say stuff like that. Anyway, guys, take care. See you later. Bye.
