  "White Knight to White Rook, I've evacuated the area. Ask the Admiral WHERE he'd like the bombs delivered?" 😂😂 I love that line

  This is my comfort Bond. It doesn’t try to break the mould or reinvent the genre. It comfortably ticks off all the boxes of a Bond film and is the most perfectly paced out of all of Brosnan’s tenure.

  &quot;What&apos;s he doing!?&quot;<br>&quot;His job.&quot;<br>That line elevates the pre-title sequence for me and it cements M&apos;s comments from GoldenEye about how she views Bond&apos;s role and there&apos;s a through line all the way to &quot;take the bloody shot&quot; in Skyfall...she will send Bond to his death but not on a whim.

  I entirely agree with you about Dr Kaufman. He&apos;s one of my favourite characters in the entire series, a perfect blend of menace and camp. &nbsp;Having said that, I must report that at one screening I attended, two Germans sitting in front of me practically fell out of their seats laughing at his accent.

  I think this and Licence To Kill handled their production issues much better than Quantum of Solace and for me they hold up better to this day

  I always thought the reason Carver suddenly wants his wife dead when he hears the &quot;Tell me James, do you still sleep with a gun under your pillow?&quot; recording wasn&apos;t about her having been intimate with Bond before. It was already strongly implied Carver guessed that. Mention of the gun tells him that Paris knows Bond is either a mercenary or a spy and withheld that from him. It was not so much &quot;my wife used to sleep with this dude&quot; or even &quot;my wife used to sleep with this dude and lied about it&quot; -- it was &quot;my wife used to sleep with this dangerous spy and didn&apos;t tell me that&apos;s who he was and is now at his hotel as likely betraying me to him as him to me&quot;.

  I love this film. That remote control car chase is one of my favourite moments of all 25 films.

  Micheal G Wilson is the Stan Lee of the Bond films. &nbsp;He is actually a &apos;Watcher&apos; assigned to keep an eye on Bond and different aspects of his missions. &nbsp;And his secret powers include being able to traverse different realities where different Bonds exist. &nbsp; It was explained in a Post-Credits scene in James Bond: Into The Bondverse

  &quot;They divorced six years later&quot;. LOL what a mood kill.

  Also, I believe the sex scene between Bond and Paris was supposed to be a little bit more explicit for a PG-13 movie but Teri Hatcher was 3 months pregnant with her daughter at the time

  Using Carver, a mash-up of Robert Maxwell and Rupert Murdoch (but more so from the former), was an inspired villain choice. Makes this film timeless.

  Also, couldn&apos;t resist mentioning this &quot;Backseat Driver&quot; through-line, connecting these three major action set-pieces.<br><br>- Bond saying the line after dispatching the guy in the co-pilot seat.<br>- Bond driving the car from the backseat, being the Backseat Driver quite literally.<br>- Bond and Wei Ling arguing while driving the motorbike handcuffed.<br><br>So neatly done 👌👌👌
