Trivia:
In the original drafts of the script Stamper was to have suffered a brain injury that caused pleasure to be registered as pain (and vice versa). The idea was dropped, but a version of it made it into the next Bond film The World Is Not Enough (1999), where the villain Renard is unable to feel pain. more
Goofs:
Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): Bond is in a building where he needs to use a computer to send a message. When the keyboard is revealed it is shown to be in Chinese, Wai Lin then has to send the message. However, before joining the Navy, Bond studied Oriental languages at Oxford university so would have been able to understand the Chinese characters on the keyboard and send the message himself. more
Quotes:
[first lines]
Charles Robinson: Our man's in position on the center camera. It's like a terrorist supermarket. Chinese Long March Scud, Panther AS-565 attack helicopter, a pair of Russian mortars, and the crates look like American rifles. Chilean mines. German explosives. Fun for the whole family.

Best Bond Movie with Pierce Brosnan, 5 December 2002
10/10
Author: emfern13 from Baltimore

I had written a review earlier saying it was the best Bond Movie but I should have said with Pierce Brosnan in it. This is by far the best of his Bond movies. Most People think Goldeneye is the best because of its more complex plot. I think that may have made a problem because the movie was very slow paced in areas. Tomorrow has a much more simple plot and it has two great Bond Girls. Teri Hatcher who plays Bonds ex-girlfriend is extremely sexy. Michelle Yeoh who plays Wai Lin is not as sexy as Teri hatcher but she is a lethal bitch (She is Bond's equal).Tommorow features some of the best action scenes and the best gadgets in a Bond Movie. Also, the best car since the Aston Martin in Goldfinger. Overall, TND is a well paced, well planned Bond movie and its Brosnan's best. The other two dont come close to it, well TWINE is very good and also well paced but D.A.D. is just a ripoff of I dont know how many classic Bond movies.
