  • in 2002, Die Another Day celebrated the 40 year anniversary of the James Bond franchise. Much like No Time To Die, it referenced all Bond movies preceeding it, in some shape or form. In this video I am going through these references in chronological order.

    While Pierce Brosnan is my favorite Bond I can't really say that DAD is close to be one of my favorite Bond movies but I still wish to know how it must felt watching this movie the first time in cinema with all the celebration going on and whatnot, funny enough I heard so many people say it was fun watching it the first time right when it came out however going back to it, watching it a second time they also realized it's not as good as they remembered...

      Brosnan will always have a special place in my heart for all the video games that came out during his era. EA back then had a good track record for James Bond games. Sadly, Craig's Bond only was able to pull out CoD clones.

      I think it's because when it came out it was not long after 9/11 and people wanted escapism and "their man" coming out on top. Casino Royale coming out also changed people's perspectives and made it look bad by comparison. But at the time, CGI was expected in big budget films like Star Wars and slow motion effects in The Matrix. The same can be said about the editing in QoS being choppy, but that that time the Bourne films were like that and even won an Oscar for Ultimatum's editing.

    Everybody says that the rotating mirrors is the only reference to Golden Gun, but i think the car flip in the ice chase maybe inspired, if not a direct homage, by the corckscrew jump.
    Also another plot point taken from Diamonds are Forever is the villain supposedly dying in the pretitles only to come back later as a legit rich industrialist. The whole thing is a remake of DAF.
    A probably involuntary reference to FYEO but both movies are the only ones in which the titles singer appears on the film.
    Hoping to see a new video of yours soon!

    • @mariosb93

      Ok, a few more i came up with, it's a bad movie but is fascinating how much it takes from the previous ones.
      YOLT: The Geodesic Dome that Graves uses as a lab just looks like the dome from the Pre-Titles where the russians and americans meet.
      Also, many articles says that the boat Bond escapes from in Hong Kong is the HMS Tenby, the same ship that was used to fake his burial at sea in YOLT, but i can't find the name on screen in either movie.
      OHMSS: Maybe Bond looking at all the old props in Q's lab is itself a reference to Bond looking at mementos from his previous adventures in his office?
      LALD: The only two movies up to that point in which Bond uses a revolver.
      Moonraker: The only two films in which 007 teams up with a female CIA agent with her own gadgets (Pam from LTK was just an informant, though decades later we'll get Paloma)
      AVTAK: Bond steals an enemy winter vehicle (snowmobile / ice rocket), which gets wrecked, so he takes parts of it to make new equipment that he uses to escape by practicing an extreme sport (snowboarding / windsurfing).
      TND: Bond removes a small detonator from his Omega watch and later uses the watch to detonate it remotely.
      When Jinx sneaks into Graves' laboratory, she wears a leather outfit similar to Way Ling's when she sneaks into the Hamburg offices, and both use a cable attached to their belt to run vertically along a wall, although it is Bond who does the latter in DAD.
      The only one i can't find such a direct reference it's TWINE, maybe the fact that Cleese got promoted to Q?

    A small matter, sir, if I may: Miranda Frost did not empty his gun (a trained gun user as Bond is he would most certainly have noticed the change in weight); it is more practical to think she disabled the firing pin, and in a Walter P99 that would be inside the slide, as opoosed to the ppk's which would have been easier to notice.

      @@thursoberwick1948 I think the 67 comparison is a bit of a stretch. Madeline's mother in the film is played by Mathilde Bourbin so that is probably who she was named after [indicating her character's name is shared by the actress and Madeline named her daughter after him] while Mata is a reference to real life spy Mata Hari.
      As for the ending, everyone dies in 67 while NTTD is clearly inspired by Logan.

    Controversial opinion: this film isn’t that bad, it is better then No Time To Die and it's fun to watch

      Better than Quantum of Solace. That's about it.

      Each to there own but I get very little from this and find it a bit of a slog to get through. It's probably my least fav of all the 'official' Bonds. The CGI has aged badly, the puns are painful and the Sci Fi stuff [DNA swapping, death ray laser] feels very out of place.

    Die Another Day is such an awful movie. But it's really sad, because the premise of the film is actually really good, and until they reach Iceland the movie is even quite decent. They just went a little too overboard in the CGI direction and as pointed out in this video, the script needed some serious work (but then again, it was written by Purvis and Bonghead). When i was younger i loved the movie, it wasn't until much later that i saw the faults with it

    My original comment was about how this movie blatantly ripped off the plot of Diamonds Are Forever; Graves using a weaponized satellite to wreak havoc just like Blofeld did. Except now having watched the full video I realize that Die Another Day blatantly ripped off plot elements from so many previous Bond movies. This movie truly brought NOTHING original to the table. I mean I know it was made by the same company but DAD owes royalties to Octopussy haha. And when I first started the video I was wondering what the reference to A View To A Kill would be but now I realize that it wasn't a reference as much as it was a major plot device.

      View to a Kill itself basic plot pretty much an 80's update of 'Goldfinger' with Gold replaced by Microchips.

    This film is evil. Like Man United. I saw this at the cinema in Oldham and was angry with the Bond people for making a huge public toilet. Easily the biggest pile of vomit in the history of James Bond.

      So hyped at the time too. I thought it was terrible but some people loved it.

    I hate an overload of "memberberries". Having clear references to past events for continuity reason and for plot development is good. But if you put an overload of references to past movies just to apeal to the fans it cheapens your movie. How does all those easter-eggs help this movie when it gets older? if your movie has nothibng else ot offer than references to BETTER movies than you have a problem.

    This is one of the worst Films in the franchise. Although it isn't the worst. I think Quantum of Solace, Diamonds Are Forever and A Wiew to a kill are way worse.
