    "That depends in your defintion off safe sex" and "No, no, no. No more foreplay" in Goldeneye. Classic moment
    "You were fantastic! We're free!"

    Drinking neat Vodka in Hamburg, and saying to Teri Hatcher, "that always sounds good"
    The PTS in TND, Bond dives under the MiG and kicks the legs out from underneath the pilot
    The casino scene in GE: " have you been to Russia recently?" "I dive in occasionally... Shoot in and out"
    Bond saying to Miranda in DAD, "c'mon, put your back into it"

    Great thread!

    There can never be enough love for my man Pierce!

    Pierce has been bashed quite a lot recently people calling him "a wimp". Some of the scripts were not up to scratch but Brosnan always played his best :)

    GE: the scene on the beach. "How can you be like this? How can you be so cold?" "It's what keeps me alive...". So pained, the weight Bond carries crushes him. The lives he has taken, the women he's lost, he carries them all with him everyday. But he must carry on, because he's the only one he can do what he does.
    Beg your pardon, forgot to knock...

    I thought that scene felt a little forced, must of been just me, but i can't help but cringe during th at scene on the beach. It was almost like they were trying to Politically Correct James Bond.

    I thought it was well-acted though, through Brosnan.

    My other favourite Brosnan moment. Elektra King “You won't shoot me, you'd miss me.”. Bond after shooting her in cold blood “I never miss!”

    Brosnan's Bond actually getting physical with Gustav graves in that intense sword fight. Most of Brosnan's physical fight scenes didn't look as believable when compared with what we saw Connery, Lazenby and Craig do, but with a sword in his hands, the sh!t was on!

    The PTS of TWINE. He really nailed the confident, ruthless Bond during the scene in the Swiss banker's office.

    His voice. There's just something about it that sings 007 to me.

    Also, his yelling is very threatening. "CALL HIM OFF!"
    "Better luck next time... slugheads!"

    In DAD, walking into the Tokyo Club, unshaven and dirty. Brosnan......I mean Bond walked in like he owned the joint. Just an awesome scene.

    I've said it before and I'll say it again...that sword fight was/is laughable.....its shockingly bad....you can tell it wasn't rehearsed enough....on many occasions one of them is 'wating' for the other to catch up....its the nadir in the nadir of the series.....horrible X-(

    Forgot about that scene only Brosnan could pull it off like that, pure class.

    It was hilarious. Especially the speeded up bits. I remember people laughing in the cinema at that.

    Have to agree, its the one scene where I wanted to shout "TAXI FOR BROSNAN!"

    "I never miss"

    Classic stuff from anywhere in the series. This IS James Bond.

    I love Craig as JB. But tell me his equivalent bit of Bondian coolness. Though there is, of course, time yet.

    The scene at the performance of Tosca where Bond and Greene meet in the stairwell and just stand for a moment and stare at each other. That is pure Bond.

    Not sure that pulling your best chest-out pose and starring at a really weak, insignificant villain equates. But that's just my reading of that scene, of course.

    I like some of Craig's Aston-banter with M in SKYFALL. But even that is rendered lame by the cliched naffness of the DB5: IMO, a silver DB5 and "Bond, James Bond" only really come across as cool in the hands of Sir Sean, though I'd give nods for worthy attempts at the latter to Laz and Tim in LTK in Sanchez office.

    I thought it was well-acted though, through Brosnan.

    Makes me cringe as well, don't don't know why.

    Didn't work at all, IMO. Ruined by Brozza's big hair blowing in the wind, his pained expression and the dire "In a word, yes". Yuck!

    A great scene alright. there is often some criticism of Pierce in the fisticuffs arena but I felt that his lack of obvious menace or bulk resulted in some reliance on skill and cool moves to render him convincing. Another great TWINE moment that has had me reaching for the remote to rewind and slow down is in the Casino when he incapacitates the goon without spilling his drink.
    Superb !

    Would you prefer the Star Wars Ep III fight between Anakin and Obi-Wan? Two guys endlessly trying to hit eachother with glowsticks?

    Not in a Bond film, no. I'd prefer not to have Godzilla in them either.
