    All the office staff are amazing in this film.

    This film has rich subtext- see https://www.ajb007.co.uk/topic/44307/subtext-and-themes/

    Really, we should now be in the film proper... but the jump in Bilbao was rightly considered too lame a stunt to serve as the PTS's climax.

    Music “Come in 007, Your Time Is Up” Uses this film’s main theme + the Bond Theme. Great stuff.

    Love the shot of the boat shooting out of MI6. reminds me of the scene where the boat shoots out of the side of the tanker in TSWLM.

    I‘ve had the same thought

    The Cigar Girl looks great in that leather outfit. She's terrific in this entire sequence. The actress performs all of her shots with conviction. It's a shame she doesn't make it further into the film, because she had the potential to be as awesome as Fiona Volpe in TB.

    :x Bond straightens his tie as the music plays the Theme

    Whhhheeeeee!! I love this! The pace and pulse of the music just flies with the action on (and in) the water....

    The Bond Theme in full force as the Millenium Dome is seen
  • Shady TreeShady Tree London, UKPosts: 2,998MI6 Agent
    The music seems briefly to drift into MR Venice style as Bond crashes through the fish market... love that!

    I can only think of one time when it wasn't (the slide whistle)

    WOW! I'd forgotten how good that was.

    Title song lyrics by Don Black Various edits/remixes around
  • Shady TreeShady Tree London, UKPosts: 2,998MI6 Agent
    The way the PTS segues into the titles, with Bond's tumble, injury and landing... a homage to the parallel sequence in MR. Arnold even delivers a brief drum roll, as we had when Jaws fell into the circus tent.

    Don‘t care too much for the song.
    A bit chewy and repetitive. Not surprisingly as it basically consists of only one note :D

    Garbage did an excellent job, their video is good enough.
    With the exception of CR-06 this is the last good theme song we have had!

    No, no- it uses the "devil's interval", a tritone which was forbidden in olden times. Very interesting musically. (Also used in "The Wolf Man")

    Never understood the crazyness for Sophie Marceau.
    She was gorgeous in La Boum ( the first) but then.....
