    The bike chase is much better than the tanker trucks in LTK :s

    This motorcycle chase is one of the Brosnan era highlights. It's very clever and makes great use of the location and Bond/Wai Linn's situation on the bike itself.

    It's great fun.

    I agree, very entertaining! It’s got everything, motorbikes, gunfire, helicopters, fireworks and an attractive girl straddling Bond :D

    This is Thunderbird 2, how can I be of assistance?

    There's a sense that Bond and Wai Lin are becoming friends, not just allies (reflecting a friendship between Brosnan and Michelle Yeoh).

    Their alliance echoes Bond/Anya but here it's much better developed than in TSWLM.

    A pistol made in a gazilion copies proves Gen Chang is involved :))

    There was going to be a Chinese Secret Service Q character in this scene but it was decided to drop that idea.

    Bond's reaction to the keyboard. What's happened to the First he took at Cambridge in Oriental Languages (YOLT)?

    The Stealth Boat reminds me of the HSS Voyager, a Catermeran ferry vessel. Only travelled on her once, but felt very 007, for a civilian ship.

    I certainly think it works better having Lin working alone, acting has her own Q.

    Bond never went to Cambridge!!! :# At least, Fleming's Bond didn't and that's what counts for me

    Speaking a language and writing one can be very different. Maybe that’s where Bond’s hesitation came from?

    Fantastic set work for the stealth boat!

    Back to Phuket, in the vicinity of James Bond Island. Also, it feels, here, like YOLT - exploring the coves - as well as TMWTGG (the junk) and TSWLM (the verbal by-play between 'detente' allies attracted to each other)
