GOLDENEYE | Bond meets Q 

Actually 4 - 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s. But your point is well made. Gotta respect his versatility and longevity.

It's like how Alfred was for Batman

I do remember enjoying these scenes when I was younger, but they seem a bit goofy as an adult, a bit cheesy. I kinda feel like Bond is a bit more polished in the Craig-era.

He died in a car crash the actor right

@@darkspeed62 I think its personal. I love the cheese, and I cant stand the Craig movies. They just seem so miserable and lacking in fun.

Q: Along with the rest of him ..... ^ snort *

The writing wasn't on the wall for another 20 years, get it? 😄

This is why that sam smith made the song from the movie, spectre in 2015 ( good reference )

@@hueymontgomery9508 oh, so that's why that song is a joke as well...

I'd love to see a blooper reel of this scene

I mean this is Q were talking about, made sense a sandwich would have some nifty gadget inside it. Or maybe it's just a pretty damn good club (shrugs)

Hey you never know...

@@joelap.3859 i mean if a cigarette can shoot an explosive and both a bagpipe and a water smoking device can hide a gun, let alone a tea platter that can decapitate, than as Bond you would no doubt think every object even food is some gadget.

I don't blame him

Glad you picked up on that

I used to work in a place like that, you just grow accustomed to the insanity.

I guess it is just another day at the office.

What a great office. Instead of running out of toner, Bob from Accounts accidentally activates his jet pack.

This is Q branch, it probably is.

YES i i think thats a part of the films appeal. I think after Daltons Dark era they wanted to show that Bond could still be fun and added those in.

jokes on you I've seen enough russian dash cams to know that his driving in Saint Petersburg would've earned him his driving licence fair and square.

well.... do russian traffic laws cover tanks driving through the city causing massive damage?

"You have a license to kill, not to break the traffic laws." That's not actually correct. A License to Kill basically covers every crime up to and including first degree murder. It was the worst crime they could justify in the pursuit of espionage, so a License to Kill is basically a pre-emptive pardon for any crime commited in the service of Her Majesty's Government. It's not like new trainee agents get a License to Fly-Tip and work their way up to License to Kill. So Bond was actually acting entirely within his remit when he helped St. Petersburg by creating lots of new construction jobs.

that was in Russia.

Yeah, but you have license to drive a T-55 tank in Saint Petersburg.

I agree. This was the first time Q actually shared a joke with Bond in the series

Brosnan and Llewelyn had a nice, unforced comedic chemistry.

A close second is Q describing the self-driving car Bond gets. Well ahead of its time and a masterstroke from the Bond tech team.

When you have two Celts in the same room the chemistry is going to be undeniably hilarious.

Honestly still think the Brosnan movies are the best. The comedy, starting the trend of using Pierce in high level action scenes, showing 007 can be hurt and is only human. Daniel Craig is the best Bond, but Brosnan's series were the best overall imo!

Playing end credits

i remember that from when i was kid, i was like "shouldn't it have gone off then?"

Underrated

ahah James Bond get killed by Q

@@898792 after arming it was not disarmed by Q

Q cards* welcome

age? I don't think that can affect acting. looks like he was supposed to be distracted by the gadgets stuff in the back

@@samuelhollman7426 Age definitely can affect acting. Memory and focus degrade as you get older.

@@samuelhollman7426 William Hartnell had the exact problem nearing the end of his tenure as the First Doctor in Doctor Who and therefore they created the concept of Regeneration to replace him.

Yep - definitely glancing at cue cards. It's odd they used that angle for the entire shot, but I guess they had to for the gag with the telephone booth.

I believe that was a truly heartfelt message.

Yes, there are Dalton and Connery, Moore, Niven, Lazenby and lastly Craig. And there are all the Bond's that has ever been!

@@js0988 Niven isn't really counted

@@js0988 if you're counting Niven, I'm counting Barry Nelson (aka the worst bond ever)

Im counted George Lazenby the worst one.

h

His way of dressing is excellent, too !

More like sandy rivers.

It's always been superb. Untill they pretty much told him to shorten it.

@@Anekiii To be fair, nowadays the sides and back would be shorter. 0ne needs to remember Goldeneye was in the 90s. Anyhow, we can all but dream to be as handsome as Pearce.

Bond's like a toddler at times.

I’m surprised he didn’t steal it 👨🏻‍🦳🥃

@danrise44 oh really?👨🏻‍🦳🥃

And then in the next film ‘Spectre’ Bond has an exploding watch. Just didn’t make sense lol

Ivan Ivez Love that scene with the exploding watch, anyway ‼️

@@ivanivez7456 To be fair, the watch given to Bond in Spectre wasn't assigned to him by M, as he was off-duty after the incident in Mexico City. So it's more likely to be one of Q's toys that wouldn't normally be given to 00s that Q decided to give bond, without the order of Mallory.

Lol that was the video I watched before this

@@ivanivez7456 Spectre didn't make sense in a lot of ways

🤔. . . 😹😹😹...

Maybe that's the only real thing...

@@xiaoleichen3186 Maybe or probably, i don't know but thanks / XièXiè ... For your quick advice... Only one know "real" the truth about this... And is not me

Bliemie! It finally happened! Something in Q's laboratory was actually what it appeared to be!

Hell, even I'm too old to eat that.

I didn't get the Joke.... 🤔

@@maloperverso8118 The wall did

Oh James your funny!

I like to think that Bond knocked the sighting off.

​@@absboodoo😂

"Pay attention 007 - you must use all these gadgets by the end of the film!"

His smile while saying it. He sounds so proud of the double entendre

Well, it's a nice sandwich.

Short attention span lol.

Then Bond breaks multiple traffic laws by rampaging around in a tank

Mr Critical Foreshadowing 101 😁

This might be a harsh thing to comment but you guys did know that Desmond Llewellyn death was in a traffic accident he caused, right? I'm not sure how to view this comment with that in mind, lol

"I wouldn't think of it."

@@Spiderguy-rl6uw good

To tell the truth, they kinda broke character and laughed

I think it's a good form of subtle character development. They've known eachother a long time, to where Q's become a bit more tolerant of Bond.

No, he also laughed in The World is Not Enough when 007 says You are Q so does that make him R.

@@ShubhamVerma-vw9qk that was his last one☹️ Rest In Peace mr Q

yeah when bond says "the writing's on the wall" you can tell Q was genuinely laughing after when he was giving his line

I wonder if the crew working for Q, get paid for testing the gadgets and maybe some health insurance

Health and safety nightmares everywhere you look

I have to believe that the lab is exempt from OSHA regulations.

And man trying to sit on couch get shallowed by the couch

@@inuyashason81 One of the benefits of a socialist medical system. Free healthcare for all.

Brosnan in Goldeneye is the quintessential Bond. The most suave, the most funny, the most sardonic and cheeky, the most cool, almost as cold and brutal as Dalton, but revealing the warmth and ease of Moore and Connery. Probably too perfect.

He also didn't know the girl was going to get ejected towards the end of the scene, That look he gave was genuine surprise lol

Everything’s gotta be so dark and gritty now it’s kinda sad, I love the new Bond movies as much as the next guy but I’ll always gravitate towards the older movies

I miss Desmond Llewelyn, he was by far my favorite Q. He made every movie he was a funny moment, and a sad one at his last movie.

@@mrcritical6751 To me the newer movies are just something else, like a different show. James Bond for me will always be those cheesy fun movies with over the top villains, a cooler than he should be 007 and so on.

Although I agree, it’s hard to believe that anyone who has played Bond than Daniel Craig is an actual cold hearted assassin.

@@eb2558 But Bond isn't an assassin, he's supposed to be a spy (supposed). I think people tend to confuse license to kill with being a hitman. Scaramanga was an assassin; Bond is more like a one man special forces assault squad.

He pouts too much for my liking.

Even die another day also

@Klemheist You misspelled Moore...

@Klemheist LOL!

So do I

towards the end his memory was going so they had to make allowances.

He was merely reading his Q cards...

The guy when he was Q in Goldeneye was nearly 80 years old your memory at that age is more than likely to be frazzy, Desmond through, what a legend throughout 36 years on 007 (1963-1999).

ActionCom ironically that’s also the opening song to “Spectre”

Along with the rest of him

@@predetor911 Still can't believe they rejected that Radiohead song

Q kinda broke character there. Almost looked like a blooper.

@@Zoomer30 Let's be honest, Q has a great sense of humor. Some of the gadgets being worked on in his labs are just pure *comedy.* Hell, Rocket Launcher leg cast?

Yes, we will miss him dearly and RIP to him.

So are you saying John Cleese and Ben Whishaw are bad replacements?

@@1987AnimeBoy That was never said; John Cleese & Ben Whishaw are good & memorable in their own ways as Q. However as for Desmond Llewellyn they could only succeed him, never replace him.

Ben Whishaw is doing a good job but i agree Desmond is Q... since he canonically retired i like to think he's in a villa somewhere warm Enjoying his retirement

It's not a fair comparison since Q's inventions and gadgets have taken a backseat in the films since his passing.

Hahaha top comment!

Well yeah, it had Russian plates, not British, they wouldn't know it was him!

Yeah, taking into consideration all the previous and of course subsequent Bond movies to Goldeneye this quote has always been so funny to me!

"You have a license to kill, not to break the traffic laws." That's not actually correct. A License to Kill basically covers every crime up to and including killing someone. It was the worst crime they could justify in the pursuit of espionage, so a License to Kill is basically a pre-emptive pardon for any crime commited in the service of Her Majesty's Government. It's not like new trainee agents get a License to Fly-Tip and work their way up to License to Kill. So Bond was actually acting entirely within his remit when he helped St. Petersburg by creating lots of new construction jobs.

"I need to track a Humvee through the streets of St. Petersburg. *It's the one being chased by a tank.* "

LMAO

I know right, who knows what kind of deadly toppings he has in it.

Diarrhea and erectile dysfunction. Really bad time to get a foot long sandwich from Subway

@@aaronkenyon7112 LMAO

Plastic explosive... Bond just going around with a roll to use on windows. Q should have told him it was a gadget and see how long he went with it ha

I know right !!!

Oscar winning? A true Bond fan knows that theme was utter shit

@@OfficialAnarchyz yeah true Bond fan, but the song ACTUALLY won the 2016 Oscar...

@@OfficialAnarchyz that's what's called a "No True Scotsman" fallacy. Alas, I personally think the reason for winning is due in part to this "wokeness" culture plaguing the world right now.

I hate that song. It’s the most insufferable Bond theme since Madonna’s theme for Die Another day.

I agree. For the first time in the series Q actually shared a joke with Bond

no. He was serious in the early bond movies.

Q just leaves Subway sitting around.

MC Hammer: cant touch this.

Indiana Jones 3

the pen is not mightier than the sword sword is bigger and sharper

I nearly forgot, it's against company policy to sign endorsements! SIGN IT!

@@kleetus92 Would you please sign here, Mr Bond? It's the insurance waiver for your *pitiful* new car

@@ahha6304 : It's the insurance damage waiver for your beautiful new car. Now, will you need collision coverage? Yes. Fire? Probably. Property destruction? Definitely. Personal Injury? I hope not, but accidents do happen. They frequently do with you.

i love how Bond just impulsively picks it up and starts examining it lol

Would you really put it past Q to design something like that

@@GrosvnerMcaffrey No. After all, the guy made a Tea Saucer into a launched Guillotine.

hahahahha yeah.

Brosnan really was a mix of the best of Connery and Moore. Suave and serious like Connery when called for, goofy charming and arrogant like Moore.

​@@1AstralKing he was a mix of the best of all Bonds.

Considering his time as Remington Steele and having previous Bond actors before him as a reference, by the time he became 007, he was well armed for the job.

@@TheEman590 and he came with all arms loaded.

Indeed :) One of the best scenes in the whole franchise.

Tho one thing's been bothering me ever since the first time I saw this. Is it only me or did it take Q more than 4 seconds to disarm the pen after Bond armed it in this scene? I count at least 5 full seconds between Bond's 3rd click and Q's 3rd click. I know it's probably nitpicking hard but still a detail I cannot unsee anymore.

Loonatic Blue Bond finished arming it at 1:53. Q began disarming it at 1:56 right when he grabbed it. Most of the clicks were out of the shot.

He just hopes that 007 doesn't have to use it. That it's a safe job this time I guess

There is great acting in today’s Hollywood, you are just being nostalgic

For some people he’s a great bond for some he is not. I guess it depends on what you’re looking for. we have been lucky to have some of the most dedicated gentleman play this role of the British spy. I don’t think there has been a bad bond but you prefer who you prefer and I think it at least has a lot to do with who we grew up on. I know classic bond fans are not going to view goldeneye and Pierce brosnan films in a high regard because they grew up on Connery or others who came before. It has to do with our perspective, and what we grew up watching.

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Why on Earth would he leave his lunch in the lab and not in a lunch box somewhere safe like a locker? 😂

I was happy they brung the character back for Skyfall.

Yes. I timed it at 4.9 seconds. They should be dead

Q's,naturally.

@@HRHooChicken You would think that Q would know better than to blithely have a bomb in the presence of 007 by now.

I always assumed its because he clicked it slower, but Q clicks it slower when he gives it to Fred.

It made my anxiety click in with real pens despite knowing damn well you are not fitting C4 in that thing.

Considering the tank chase that destroyed most of St. Petersburg, a car chase would’ve been rather useless after that.

​@@VickStarkiller Well if you have a choice between a T-55 Tank and a BMW... it's not a difficult choice to make

was the car even used at all in the movie? or was it the car used in the scene when bond and natalya were driving in cuba to meet jack wade for the plane?

@@Gameprojordan i dont believe so come to think of it lol I only saw the bmw appear appear when him and Natalya meet Wade

Yep, literally drove it up to meet Wade and swapped him for his plane. Dunno why they even bothered shipping the car to Cuba. Guess they were just testing BMW out as a partner. Tommorow never Dies made good use of the 7 Series and the R1200 Motorcycle.

007 wears family device belt FYI.

I read somewhere that Q (Desmond) had trouble with his lines at this point in his career and the crew had to have cue cards in every scene. You can see his eyes reading behind Bond at certain moments. That had to add some complexity to this whole thing.

I don’t know man, Goldeneye was pretty serious. The guy that directed Goldeneye is the same guy that directed Casino Royale. This was a light hearted scene but the rest of the film is pretty serious with Bond’s best friend being the villian with his side kick Xenia who killed people through sex. Sounds pretty serious to me.

@@Hitithardify The director maybe the same, however tonally the new Bond movies with Craig are basically like the Dark Knight Trilogy/mission impossible, all dark and moody and stuffs(all the fun are gone). I can't help if you can't see the difference.

TheIbongz I get what you mean, but I think they’re still is some fun in them, just not as much as previous entries.

@@TheIbongz The current 007 production crew admitted to be influence of the Bourne series. Which frustrate me as I watched 007's Pierce Brosnan era where it had the British humor to lighten the mood before the action sequences.

@@Hitithardify goldeneye bond was serious yes, but daniel craig bond is a whole different level of seriousness. Whereas goldeneye bond still has light hearted scenes and funny one-liners thrown around, daniel craig bonds feel way too bleak, depressing, dark and serious. Almost like a jason bourne film at this point

Ben Wishaw isn’t Q

Thanks to me they were right!

Unforgettable and irreplaceable. Pity Llwellyn made so little from the role.

@@shane99ca Don't get me wrong. Llwellyn was magic. But how much could he have really been expecting to make? With the exception of License To Kill and too a much lesser extent Octopussy which I'm sure paid better, each of the films couldn't have been more than a day's filming for him and he had a few dozen lines at most. And it wasn't like they were making a load of Q action figures or putting him on the posters or anything.

@@jamesharding9252 All true, but there's still a lot of unfairness and BS in the movie industry. In the movie _Operation Crossbow,_ Sophia Loren received co-star billing even though she also appeared for only a few minutes.

@Formerly Paul While Desmond will always be Q, you sound so stupid and bitter.

@Formerly Paul lol, go easy on him bruhh 😆😆.
