GOLDENEYE | Bond escapes the Russian base 

Interesting fact, Pierce Brosnans wife always wanted him to be James Bond, who herself was in a Bond movie. When Pierce Brosnan was casted for the movie, her dream came true but she passed away before watching it.

This is movie magic. There was a promotional film released that showed this snowy runway was actually an abandoned airstrip in the green fields north of London. The first appearance of the plane uses oil tanks to hide the sides and then all shots thereafter are framed low so you never see either side of the runway. The wide shot showing the facility, the plane, and runway was a terrific glass matte painting by Derek Meddings. GoldenEye holds up because care and detail were put into its sets, locations and special effects. The Nintendo 64 era likely fueled a new generation of Bond fans, and this was their first experience.

One hell of an introduction for Brosnan's Bond. On a side note, they should've posted a clip for Connery's Bond -- Today is his 90th birthday.

One of the best Bond films and easily one of the best openings - also, the score! Superb!

0:29 The star of this sequence is the squeaky wheel.😄👍

Thumbnail is like "5 pixels escapes russian base "

If Bond went went to the right, he could’ve gotten a tank

Honestly I am so glad to be born in the early 90's knowing that Pierce is my generation's Bond. :)

Starts at the bottom of a dam, ends up at the top of a 20-story complex at the base of mountains and we never questioned it lol...

One of the most memorable scenes of all time! Goldeneye is a masterpiece.

This was definitely meant to be Daltons movie with the Soviet theme and the more dark story than the other brosnan titles. Im still glad Brosnan got the role though because he and sean bean abosolutely nailed their roles and saved the franchise. Would have still been interesting seeing Dalton in this one though with alan rickman or Anthony hopkins as trevelyan.

I remember that as a kid, after playing the videogame on Nintendo 64, I was so amazed when I saw the film "GoldenEye" for the first time and nevertheless, the opening its absolutely exciting. For the first time, this has become the first project when I was introduced to the world of 007 and the impact it was going to leave me forever.

This is one of the first Bond intro where, before the traditional 007 intro starts where he performs a stunning stunt (dam dive) has a dry sense of humour (toilet punch), his loss of a friend (006 down), the most intense escape scene and all this right before the movie starts ... left a huge impression not to the 007 fans, but audiences who have never seen a Bond movie ...

This is such a badass scene.

Such a great debut for Pierce Brosnan as Bond . one of the most epic scenes in all of the bond films.

I was so exited for the return of Bond on the big screen after all those years away, so many fond memories of GoldenEye.

This was a great Bond movie.

Brosnan peaked early in his Bond career, wish the rest of his films were this good

Happy birthday to the N64 game! o/ August 25, 1997.

One of the most ridiculous (and awesome) stunts ever seen in a Bond film. Also, happy 23rd anniversary of GoldenEye 64!

Then Tina comes in with the vocals, best Bond movie and opening sequence ever.

"Hold your fire! You'll blow the gas tanks!" [Escapes outside] "Hold your fire!" "But wait, there aren't any--" "I said hold your fire!" "Okay, but I really feel the need to stress the absence of gas tanks."

The part of Bond slowly moving with the trolley of gas tanks has me and my mates laughing. XD

I growing up as a kid in the 90’s and having played GoldenEye on the N64...naturally it made me into a Pierce Brosnan fan!!!

one of the most epic scenes in all of the bond films

2:30 Ourumov's sarcastic look like: *''Stupid, of course he can't get on the plane.''* Lmao

Such a great debut for Pierce Brosnan as Bond 😎

Lmao, the stunt dude at 1:25 making that grinning face made me burst out laughing. 😂😂

Solid outing for Pierce, arguably his best Bond movie.

Every time I see the scene, where Bronsan’s bond jumps on the conveyor belt and starts shooting just gives me shivers watching such a badass move like that

The stuntman at @1:25 . Amazing!

The director really know how to bring back Bond again on track since a long gap after Licence to Kill released....in 1994, Martin Campbell brought a new bond for a modern styles of 007 and it was a huge success after Goldeneye released in 1995...10 years later, he got a new bond again after Brosnan stepped down...Daniel Craig played as James Bond in 2006's Casino Royale....

That sky dive for the plane might be the most unrealistic thing I’ve ever seen in a film 😂😂😂😂😂😂

2:37 I thought for a second Bond will open a Union Jack parachute

Gottfried John is simply amazing in this scene - what a great actor!

This was my first bond movie to watch.. Talk about having me at hello 😅 9 year old me couldn't believe he pulled the plane out of that dive! Needless to say, I've been a fan ever since!

Best bond film. Best bond game. Best bond. Needs a remaster for the game (a proper one)!

006, my favorite Bond villain.... “You know James... Iwas always better...”

I think that of all of Pierce Brosnan's Bond films, this one had the best soundtrack.

Such a great kick off for Brosnan's Bond.

Featuring a Hollywood favorite: villains running mindlessly towards the protagnist instead of shooting at him.

A decent opening sequence becomes a great one. Right when Bond rides off after that falling plane. Now that's a thrilling way to segue into the opening theme. Well done.

0:01 Gottfried John (german actor) playin a Russian general without any accent - love it😅 3:08 turn up a plane going down that angle is impossible - but still insane classic bond scene ⭐ Brosnan for ever 🥃

I like how as soon as a plane’s nose points towards the ground, it turns into a Junkers Ju-87 Stuka.

Fantastic Film. NOW *THIS* IS A BOND MOVIE!

Seriously this must be one of the best stunts in all of James's "stunts"!

Although pierce isn't my favorite Bond actor, this was one of the best bond opening sequences in the whole bond Anthology series. From the opening sequence with the bungy jump off the dam and the pulling out of the Propeller Cessna🛩 just in the nick of time.🕙 then the Goldeneye theme coming in right after with,🎵dun, dun, dun, dun!🎶 Let's not forget also having one of the best Bond girls to grace the screen. The exceptionally attractive, sultry, gorgeous, bombshell femme fetal Femke Jansen!💃

I don’t know if I know this scene more by playing the game or by watching the actual movie, both are amazing 10/10

Brosnan is the most action-oriented James Bond.

1:25 they couldn't get Pierce just squat for 2 seconds, so they used stunt double footage

Alec : " for England James." Bond : " no for me." exellent dialog and fight scenes this trilogy is by far the best ever.

I've never been one to ask for realism in films, especially Bond films, but leaping off a motorcycle over a cliff in the vain hope that not only is your trajectory cock-on, but that you will reach terminal velocity in record-breaking time and outrun a plane that is motoring downwards...well. This is why this is only my second favourite Bond film.

It's always a pleasure to see the Ceasar that is Gottfried John in a movie. He nailed Ouromov and became my favourite minor villain of all the Bond movies. He and Xenia of course.

3:05 morphs into former potential Bond and dinosaur expert Sam Neil for a second there.

One of the best stunts in the series

The Gas Tanks really did save Bond's Life. *hueyough blow da gasss tanks*

Flying like a bird good idea Bond... ! Thank you again, Daniel.

"hold your fire, you'll blow the gas tanks." how did they not already to that when they first fired

Upon watching Watchmojo's Top 10 James Bond Escapes I can honestly say that this scene is underrated!

I really like the part when the general shoots the trigger-happy soldier, even though it's inconsequential story progression, it say lot about his character. Show how petty, vindictive and ruthless he is. It's very illustrative. It's one thing to discipline a soldier for acting stupid, but killing them out of spite is goes too far. Villains punish their subordinates for failure, but they usually do it after the fact not when fighting the hero. Sometimes actions speak louder than words and its a great way to conveyed a characters nature.

Campbell sure knew how to open a Bond film with a blast.

always gives me a chill

Golden Eye is my favorite Bond.

Fantastic introduction for the new bond back then

something tells me russian villains are back on the menu

1:07 Colonel Ourumov: *You can't win.*

Best bond film I always like to see pierce brosnan act as 007 bond

This with the skydive has to be the most improbable, but also best bond scenes

“FOR ENGLAND JA-EEAARGH!”

A great film from a masterpiece actor Mr Brosnan loved your portal as bond.

Every Bond was golden once at time . No doubt about it . All Heros were best,was so special gift to the movie. James U were greatest spy movie ever . .

Of course when that movie came out everyone in the theater was totally psyched myself included and we believed absolutely ANYTHING :) :) :) But 25 years later I realize how far-fetched that scene is...I mean, Bond diving to catch that plane...He's Bond so he's extremely good at what he does...But not everything is supposed to make sense so I'll simply enjoy it...again...

0:07 Alec: *_For England,_** James!!* (Ourumov pulls the trigger to his pistol and shoots Alec)

My dad told me he watched the film second time just for this scene when I was in school.. he passed away 4 years ago and today's father's day.. remembering him badly 😭💔

Great fans here in Columbia SC of all bonds films and 🎥🍿🎥's me an my an my father enjoys watching

I remember vaguely as a child the image of a man having a stalemate against an enemy by hiding behind explosives and thinking. "Wow he's so smart." Finally looked up this scene.

The expression on the Generals face as he's moving behind the cart 😂

I was just blown away by this action sequence the first time I saw it.

dude, the part where he jumps off the cliff, skydiving from the bike into the plane is BADASS!! when a young little me was watching it with my friends we looked at each other like " :o :O :O this...is...awesoomeee" lol

I love how for like a dead minute of screen time, an entire gaggle of trained Russian soldiers forgets that they can walk towards Bond's sneaky li'l ass instead of just pointing their guns at him.

Good that he was able to pull the plane out of such a steep dive - there’s more to Piers Brosnan than I thought....

The bond film that got gamers into Bond films.

At 3:29 Alec face hit by the blast I bet he would be just strolling out the compound as the bomb went off.

Happy birthday Sean Connery!!!

Bond is the ultimate bullet sponge, 0.1 damage per hit taken while delivering 100 damage per bullet shot

Trevelyan playing dead: Heh heh this was such a smart idea. *Gets hit by a barrage of gas tanks*

Much better than the modern bond films. Style, swag and most of all, great camera angles.

Being a movie in the mid 90's I'm surprised the stuka siren didn't sound as soon as the plane started moving

Such a shame that this was Pierce Brosnan's one truly good Bond film. It's actually one of the best Bond movies ever, superbly made, and it realized Brosnan's full potential in the role - tough and gritty, a total badass, but charming and debonair as well. The other three he had to do were so wanting compared to this, and as a result he doesn't get the credit he should.

When Bond pressed that button to realease the barrels and the music starts, it looked like he pressed the button on the radio!!! LOL

i love this movie so much. the soundtrack and tone of the film is excellent!

For England James 🇬🇧

I wish the Craig movies had him doing missions like this rather than all this rogue shit

1:08 Ouromov: *[smugly]* "You Can't Win." 1:11 Bond: "You Said Something?"

1:42 I'm am so sure that this guy is also one of Reynard's henchman in The World is not Enough.

As much as I love this stunt...I remember when I first saw this in the theatre, the entire audience collectively yelled, "OH, COME ON!" (Or, to put it as a standup comedian did when he did a routine about the Bond movies, "This is totally possible.")

the model explosion at the end! class

best opening scene ever!! so cool!!!

Remington Steele was a fantastic James Bond!!!

Who else loved playing GoldenEye on the Nintendo 64 as a kid? 🎮
