Trivia:
This is the first time that the Bill Tanner Mi6 Chief of Staff character has appeared in the series since For Your Eyes Only (1981). The character was meant to return for the next Bond movie Tomorrow Never Dies (1997) but the actor Michael Kitchen who had played him here was unavailable to return. But Kitchen did get to return as Tanner in The World Is Not Enough (1999). moreGoofs:
Revealing mistakes: As the satellite dish is draining the water towards the finale of the movie, the motion of the water indicates that the film was reversed to give the draining effect. moreQuotes:

James Bond: Beg your pardon, forgot to knock.

This is by far one of the best Bond films simply because it does not try to be a Bond film. GoldenEye demonstrates an impressive independence that separates it from the tried-and-true-but-getting-boring Bond formula. The one liners are not that great, but the action sequences are mindblowing. The chase scene is the best I have ever seen in any movie. Period. Purists will complain that there is a lack of gadgetry, but let them pout and go back to MacGyver reruns. Possibility is not permissibility. Just because Bond has a snazzy car does not mean that he has to utilize every perk that Q has included. It is a relief that the writers did not force a new scene just to show off the car. The movie does not need one, which helps it to maintain its quality as not just a Bond movie, but a high quality action movie that can stand on its own. You will even find (gasp!) . . . character building! There is actually dialogue between Q and Bond, instead of just a briefing and some commands. Brosnan more than holds his own against past Bonds, and offers some of that GQ gentlemen element found missing in some of the past ones. Bond fan, action fan, any fan, check this one out. I even made my girlfriend watch it, and even she enjoyed it. Chances are you will too.
