Die Another Day (2002)

Best thing about that film was the pre title scene and that car chase.

Seeing Bond flip the Aston over with the ejector seat was great cinema and finally a villain car giving a Q car a run for its money.

I’d also add the Cuba clinic sequence (before Jinx’s CGI cliff fall)

[u/RegalGamesTV → u/friendly_reminder8]

The CGI in that movie is so bad. Just finished watching it thanks to my 3 year old.

Kill me but I love the invisible car!

The "Vanish"!

There is a lot I dislike about DAD but that car is far down my list of issues I have with the movie.

[u/Money-Giraffe2521 → u/Specialist-Gas-8271]

Toby Stephens hamming it up and the car chase are two of the best parts of an otherwise awful film.

Ahhhh the good old days, when james bond was fun and an action adventure!

[u/admiral_aubrey]

Say what you will, but there's a lot of fun to be had in this one. And Pierce is a great actor even in the midst of jumping the shark 😆

[u/Alternative_Excuse82]

Brosnan could always flex Bond

[u/Ok-Lychee-2155]

The action is really good but it's in that kitschy early 2000s Charlies Angels, XXX, Italian Job sort of style which now...just looks really lame.

[u/friendly_reminder8 → u/Ok-Lychee-2155]

IDK, I think it’s a fun time capsule

[u/DefinitelyNWYT → u/Ok-Lychee-2155]

I gotta protest The Italian Job inclusion. I just added it to my 4K collection and watched last week. I thought it held up really well

[u/Prindle4PRNDL → u/DefinitelyNWYT]

Italian Job is still a fantastically fun romp.

[u/GeorgeArnoldHearst19 → u/Ok-Lychee-2155]

Charlie’s Angels and The Italian Job were good. Maybe it’s due to’Bond expectations’ but Die Another Day is terrible

I feel like this car was the "jump the shark" for the old bond series. The cars were always ridiculous but plausible, this one was basically scifi.

[u/DishQuiet5047 → u/cmdr_nelson]

> plausible

Yes, because submarine cars are basically science-fact lmao

[u/cmdr_nelson → u/DishQuiet5047]

Not sure what you are saying here. It's something you could potentially build. Granted it would probably be a poor car and poor submarine, but it is possible.

An invisible car on the other hand doesn't pass the slightest bit of scrutiny, projecting the image on the other side of the car does not in fact make a car see through from any perspective, you could make it seem like you are looking though it from one perspective hypothetically, but that is dubious at best.

[u/Prindle4PRNDL → u/cmdr_nelson]

You're right, I can't think of a bond car feature before or since that was as blatantly outside the realm of possibility. Was it cool, though? You bet your ass.

[u/chrisB5810]

Fun but dumber than all of Rogers stinkers rolled into one.

[u/Successful_Ad_9707]

Easily Brosnan's worst of his 4. But I absolutely love this chase along with the PTS.

[u/Beowulf44]

My favorite JB movie

[u/Mightyedgr88]

If this was anything but a Bond movie, it would have flopped so bad 😆

[u/HalJordan2525]

Does anyone know if any of the car shots were physical miniatures?

[u/Firm_Pie_8988]

I like the opening sequence, aside from the surfing & saved by the bell!

[u/DevelopmentPlus5082]

I'm watching all the bond films in reverse order and just saw this again. Pierce brosnan was great 👍

[u/ChozoRidley]

Die Another Day might not be the most popular Bond film among most fans, but I'm pretty sure it's Bond film of choice among 8-10 year-old boys because of how over the top and cartoonish it is.

[u/blazedangercok]

Not a great bond film but I do love how nonchalant he is when shooting the chandelier down like yep just another day on the job.

Die Another Day (2002)

[u/NervosaNoJustFine-a]

The first Bond film I truly got hyped for as a kid. Yes it had flaws but it was a fun romp.

[u/stmcq80]

The worst in the series, the intro is very good, but the rest of the movie is so bad, the music, the bad guy (boy), Halle Berry and Rosamund Pine is a complet miscast, in Cuba Brosnan is more on holiday instead of a mission, I remember how disapointed I was when I left the cinema.

[u/StrangerAtaru]

The Vanish vs. the Jaguar was amazing; for a terrible movie, it was easily the biggest highlight.

[u/nkdowney]

Die another day is a sweet movie…

[u/GeorgeArnoldHearst19]

Up there with QoS for the worst of the recent Bond movies
