    :o I think I paid about £9.99 when it came out.

    Gosh, I bought that at the time- complete with 'Kowloon Bay' :D And like Acacia I still have both.

    No film version of Backseat Driver on it though sadly. I didn't realise there was an isolated score though.

    Look under "Commentary" to find it.
    Poor phrasing on my part above, I was talking about two separate things but it read as one.

    I may get some flak here, but imo, TND has the absolutely worst of "Bond Girls".

    First of all we have Teri Hatcher...
    If you'd thought that Jinx was annoying, think again!

    I haven't seen her in Superman, she was pretty unknown for me in 1997 and I immediately caught the vibe, that this woman is a total troublemaker! She played the exact same annoying role in Desperate Housewife and from everything that I've seen from her, she is exactly what she plays in Desperate Housewife!

    Then we have Michelle Yeoh....
    She was and still is an icon in Southeast Asia but I never found her very attractive.
    I am married to a woman from Hong Kong for over 20 years, I travel the region regularly and always looking around a bit ;% I can't understand that so many westerners find her attractive.

    On the other hand, TND treats us with 2 absolutely gorgeous technically "Non-Bondgirls":

    Right at the beginning with the language teacher (Cecilie Thomsen)

    and later the host of the Carver Media Party (Daphne Deckers)

    007-Tomorrow-Never-Dies-3.jpg

    I agree on most of your assessment, HIggins. Michelle Yeoh is impressive in the action scenes, much more convincing as a fellow agent than say … Barabara Bach or Gloria Hendry. But she is less convincing as a love interest. Perhaps they should have cut the making out from the last scene?
    Teri Hatcher was fun in Lois & Clark, but Monica Bellucci would have been far better as Paris Carver. But what about her role in SPECTRE? They could had Maud Adams play two different people in two of Roger's Bonds, tehy could have doen the same With Monica.

    Higgins is leading this with Italian efficiency. No, that's not right …. Greek efficiency …. No. Wait, it'll come to me in a minute ... :p

    Arnold omits the traditional opening fanfare as the white dots process across the screen, making the gunbarrel feel a little downbeat

    Dame Judi and Goeffrey Palmer. Brilliant to have both of them in Bond.

    Music “White Knight” Arnold’s 1st Bond cue, mixing his own “Surrender” with snatches of Barry’s “James Bond Is Back” from FRWL. Updating Bond in the right way, unlike Serra on GE

    edited May 2020
    Arnold reprises the brief 'Bond Back In Action' cue from the beginning of the FRWL opening theme

    rearranged as on his OHMSS track in 'Shaken and Stirred'
