Yo Calvin as me and you are James bond fans do you ever think of doing a video of bond movie fixing or what if ,like how to fix die another day or what if Pierce got a 5th bond movie and fixing Quantum of solace and what if daniel got a standalone bond movie in his prime before skyfall and fixing Spectre? And Calvin your the man to give us bond fans your opinion.
These videoes have almost turned into full-on documentaries as well as reviews, and I truly love it! Enhances the viewing experience and appreciation of the movies they are accompanying. Should be added as bonus material for the 4K set 🙏 Thank you very much for your hard work Calvin!
This means an awful lot and thanks for your continued support, Øyvind! Thank YOU for watching and I'm very glad to hear the burgeoning length and scope of these videos is well received :D
something I find interesting is Bond's last words to Renard , "she's waiting for you," and how Renard almost looks like he feels comfort in that and the idea that Bond probably intended it that way.
Calvin, I wanted to let you know that you have single-handedly caused me to rethink the Brosnan era and to love it. I was 25 when GoldenEye came out and I always took Brosnan's Bond for granted. But now I appreciate how good it actually was. I truly enjoy re-watching Brosnan's movies. Thank you!
Thank you so much for this, William! It means a lot to me and I'm happy to have contributed to any positive re-evaluation of Brosnan's era :D THANK YOU!
As a long time Brosnan defender I love this. Ive always thought he was one of the best Bonds ever often surrounded by some of the worst decisions film wise, but TWINE and GoldenEye is Brosnan and the franchise operating at their finest!
As a long-time Brosnan Bond fan, I'm glad people are getting more positive on his movies. I've loved all four of these movies (yes, even that one) and I have constantly sung the praises of Pierce Brosnan as the one definitive James Bond. ...and honestly kinda makes me a bit sad that with the exception of Skyfall the Craig films really fell flat in my eyes.
Told my wife I'd be decorating the Christmas trees while watching a 2-hour Calvin Dyson video about TWINE. She said, the movie's about that long. But bless you Calvin for digging in and being so entertaining.
Yes finally the TWINE review we've all been waiting for, The World is Not Enough will always be one of my favourite Bond films because it was the first Bond film I ever watched. I remember the boat chase scene and the hot air balloon blowing up in the pre title sequence and I loved it
Calvin, I think it would be fitting if you added the introduction you wrote on Patreon to the description of this video. For such a monster review, at the pinnacle of your ability, I think just one line in the description is underselling it by a huge margin.
1:01:00 What is funny is that German actor Claude-Oiver Rudolph (Akakievich) used to be quite vocal about his role in TWINE, often over-exaggerating it to that of a Bond-villain when it was a) such a small part with hardly a couple of lines and b) not even on the villains' side anways.
1:41:33 I've always found it an interesting decision that in this scene Bond and M have matching outfits - white suits with a blue shirt. Don't know if that was an intentional decision, and if it was what it's supposed to signify (perhaps a way of unifying M and Bond, a nod to the fact that M is the closest thing Bond's ever had to a parental figure, but then why they felt the need to make such a nod I don't know). Probably best not to overthink it but even if it is just a coincidence, it's an interesting one. If anyone has Lindy Hemming's phone number perhaps they can ask her if it was a conscious clothing colour coordination.
Oh hey now this is something I'll never not noice every time I rewatch TWINE! I'd be very interested to know if that was indeed coordinated or purely coincidence/subconcious. I really dig your reading of the symbolism behind it though!!
A simpler explanation would be office dress code but knowing the amazing thinking and attention to detail that Lindy Hemming put on her costume choice (see the audio commentary of Casino Royal, the Solange red dress for example) it's not far fetch to see a little deeper as you did!
I suppose it's similar to why Madeline mostly wears white in NTTD as she is ultimately an innocent caught up in the events [as well as maybe an illusion to the names Swan+Mr White!].
One of my favorite micro-moments in this film, is when the Cigar girl says “let’s go!” and points her gun at the balloonist.. you at first hear the balloonist angrily yelling “hey! What the hell are you-“ ..and then when Cigar girl points her gun and says “let’s go!”, you hear that same angry balloonist sheepishly respond with “okay” 😂😂 it gets me every time..
Awesome job on this buddy! I'm definitely right there with you on loving this film. You totally did it justice. It's 4am here in the states but I could not be happier with my video selection lol. Thanks for the upload!
Dang, what an excellent tribute to an underrated movie. I really appreciated your extra insights with well-placed passages from the original screenplay (which I really must read for myself now), deleted scenes and trivia about the actors and locations. Bravo! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Calvin, this has been an absolutely epic journey! From the months of buildup reviewing The World is Not Enough video game series to this incredibly detailed and insightful movie review, it’s been nothing short of brilliant. Your attention to detail and passion for James Bond shine through in every moment. I’m giving this adventure a well-deserved 5 out of 5 stars-stellar work, as always!
37:55 - I feel compelled to mention, Calvin, that the hologram projector from TWINE is used again for a breifing scene early on in 007: Everything or Nothing! It's a smaller version on M's desk that projects Diavolo's head while her and Bond are discussing the assignment. I absolutely adore that inclusion, since it is absolutely a direct reference to the scene in TWINE and the larger Brosnan-era. (Though as a kid, due to playing the EA games first before seeing the movies-- and if I recall correctly --I think I assumed that TWINE was actually referencing my favorite video game when that big hologram of Renard's head appeared!)
The song by Garbage is fantastic, especially when you listen to the lyrics and realize it was hinting at the twist the whole time. I love me some ludonarrative harmony.
‘This guy’ at 1:32:24 is stuntman Derek Lea, who some might remember played the otherwise uncredited ‘Top Gear Stuntman’ for several episodes back around the time QoS came out.
This review is definitely going to be one of the best ones you've made all around, and it's why you've appealed to not just myself, but to so many others, as a result of all the work and enthusiasm you put into making these! Keep up all the excellent work!
Robbie Coltrane's smirk to bonds car being buzzed in half always gets a chuckle from me, surprised you didn't point it out. However you are still the ultimate bond guy ❤
I've always enjoyed the movie as well, never got the hate for Denise either. I do enjoy the longer format and in depth reviews you do, been watching for multiple years now and the more you revist bond movies the more deep dives you do and I learn more things, hopefully you continue doing these sorts of videos!
One of my favorite aspects of the Brosnan era was the returning, distinctive actors who came back for small roles. It made the whole era feel more connected, but in a subtle way.
I have really enjoyed this series of TWINE videos over the last few weeks. Calvin you've done a cracking job and this film review is the icing on the cake.
One of my favorites. Pierce was so comfortably james bond, elektra was one of the rare villainess masterminds of the franchise, M factored big in the plot, seeing valentin back was a treat (R.I.P Robbie), and the action was fun. Always nice to see your love of TWINE.
I fully understand Calvin's sentiment given that TWINE was one of the first Bond films he saw in the cinema; we all have that nostalgic feeling. But I would say that all of the issues Calvin does raise with the film (the early and contrived feelings Bond develops for Elektra, overblown moments, bad dialogue) were far more of a killer for me. I was only 14 when I saw this in the theatres and walked away bitterly disappointed. That opinion hasn't much changed the past 25 years; it's one that I skip during any Bond marathons on TV. It's amazing for a movie so long that they rush so many critical elements of the plot. Those are the moments that should've been explored further rather than the extended and slow-played development in the first 45 or so minutes of the film. Regardless, kudos to Calvin for producing one hell of a video! Very well done indeed!
Calvin your work on here has only gotten better and better as time goes on. I Love these bond in depth reviews. Btw I had a literal spit take at 35:06 too good!! LOL
Going from 10 to 15 minute reviews for Bond films because of the UA-cam limits to now nearly 2 hour in depth reviews. The progress I’ve seen from this channel in watching for nearly 12 years has been amazing. Almost like my slow growing in love with The World is not enough. Went from bottom 3 Bond film. To a solid 11th or 12th Bond film, a movie I love to watch on a rainy day. Keep it up Calvin ❤
Fantastic Love the use of the term "MacGyver his way out!" 😂 Brilliant in depth review of a brilliant Bond film, I've always enjoyed The World is Not Enough.
I held my breath during that scene too! Must've worn out the VHS for how often I'd watch it. Nice touch using the N64 music, I was at first disappointed the game didn't have the actual bond music but all these years later the tunes still get stuck in my head.
TWINE: You wouldn't post an In-Depth Review on me. You'd miss me. Calvin: I never miss. An absolute triumph of a video. I am a big TWINE fan and was genuinely really excited to see this video. You're so funny with the skits and snide jokes being fantastic here. I was laughing out loud. Your insight on the characters, especially Elektra was intriguing and informative. I also had so much fun, as a fellow TWINE fan, celebrating this movie alongside you. Fantastic video that did not disappoint at all.
GREAT video! As per. I actually really like the moments you mentioned where Brosnan and Craig (in the Elektra/Blofeld scenes) do a few off-kilter line readings. It's like they're letting Bond the man and his emotional reactions to the situations in question peek out from the cold, professional exterior. Because I love little glimpses like that, while registering the line readings as off-kilter like you say, I don't find them out of character and embrace them as a result. I was 15 when this one came out and couldn't get enough, went to the cinema about 5 times and rented it every weekend until it came out to buy. I've cooled on it as time has gone on but I do naturally retain a very soft spot for this film. If I'm in the right mood, it's brilliantly entertaining. It still feels like the last Bond film in the "classic" mould. Which is nuts considering it was 25 years ago. And that it tweaks the formula more than it ever had been at that point (Bond girl/villain twist, expanded role for M etc), but despite that it still feels unmistakably 'classic' Bond.
I've been working in the medical scene for months and the idea of M hardly doing much but drink during the Brosnan era made me worried about her kidneys 😅 Also, that skit of you singing Happy Birthday to a drowning Robbie absolutely tickled me.
Thank you, Calvin! This video was just the most entertaining, funny, in-depth and comfortable review I've watched in years. I watched it over three evenings and it was very cosy viewing (much like all the the Brosnan films, these days). Thank you so much. P.S. it could have been longer!
I absolutely love this film! And loved watching your review! This was the first Bond film I saw in the cinema, aged 13 with a school friend and I always think of it with such fondness. I absolutely adore this film and it's my favourite!
For some reason I really like the look of bond in the Russian energy suit it feels like something a spy would wear and I love uniforms being worn in places they are not usually worn in
It's nice to finally get to see this review now! I got on a Calvin Dyson binge after seeing Casino Royale '67 for the first time. So much so, I even dressed as a gangster for a fall festival because of Bond's aesthetic of a well-dressed assassin.
One of My Favourite Videos from you Calvin. Congratulations on this Epic retrospective video on this Wonderful Slice of 90s Nostalgia. I can't wait to see what you do Next time for Die Another Day. That.... is going to be an interesting retrospective to say the very least.
Pierce's accent going broad Irish in the deleted scene is odd. In interviews he always speaks with his unique Irish-English accent, and it tends to steer more towards English. I didn't realise he could slip back into broad Irish. I wonder why no one noticed on the day.
I've been looking forward to this ever since I first heard Calvin mention he was doing it which was months and months ago. It did not disappoint. Top notch review/retrospective with some hilarious jokes and gags sprinkled throughout. Well done.
I stand by my assertion that TWINE is in contention with Goldeneye for Brosnans best film. Ive always loved it because of the risks & surprises it takes with the Bond formula. Because of the way she operates and seduces Bond I really think that Elektra King is hands down one of the franchise’s best villains. At first blush you start to dismiss her as a stereotypical Bond girl THEN they get you to care about her so the ultimate betrayal just blindsides you like it does Bond. Also the score and title song are a pitch perfect synthesis of Garbage and David Arnolds brilliant work & collaboration. Arnold is one of if not the best Bond composer in the franchise. His work is incredibly underrated. He was the back bone of the franchise for almost 15 years.
22:40 Thank you for spending some time on my personal favourite Bond mystery!! I also have absolutely no idea why Michael Apted essentially straight up bullshits about coming up with the whole boat chase pre-titles himself (which I always find hilarious), but I also subscribe to the idea that the chase was maybe moved after the titles in some cut. Sometime. Maybe. I'd *love* to know where this myth originated from!
The alternative cut/trying out different edits thing is the only rational explanation I can think of as to why he'd be seemingly corroborating that rumour... Unless he just figured it was too widespread and rather than spend the rest of his life correcting people, just embraced it as fact? "When the legend becomes fact, print the legend" kind of thing?
In fairness the first two Craig films start off with a short pre-title sequence followed by a massive chase post credits so maybe that was something they were playing about with editing here [and changed it when they realised that the Spanish sequence was a bit of a flat beginning] although the previous Brosnan's film's pre-titles are about 10 mins so there was precedence for a long opening. I have seen speculation that QOS had the chase sequence in pre-title sequence at one stage as when Bond shoots Mitchell it could have lead into a gunbarrel like Casino and the next scene does feel like it's a 'back from the titles' exposition one but I've not seen anything to back it up.
@@calvindyson An update! 007 Magazine claims that "The World Is Not Enough was previewed at a Multiplex cinema in Reading, Berkshire on August 3, 1999...The preview audience reaction was mixed, leaving Director Michael Apted and Editor Jim Clark disappointed. Changes were made, including restoring the Thames river chase into the pre-credit sequence as it had been in Purvis & Wade’s first draft of the screenplay". An Ain't It Cool News article from the time corroborates the preview ("Last night (Tuesday 3/8/99) there were test screenings of the new Bond film held in Reading (England) at the Showcase cinema") but unfortunately has no details on whether the info about the cut is accurate! But, if it is, it does seem that a preview cut moved the boat chase to somewhere it wasn't in the script...! Would love to find some details from people actually at that preview screening...
Been watching your videos for years now Calvin. You got me into the older Bond movies and I eventually bought the entire collection and love the whole series! While this movie is far from my favorite Bond movie, this was an epic video and I loved every minute of it!
In my head canon, Judi Dench's M is something of a George Smiley character of Bond universe. She obviously was a case officer (or, considering what happened in Skyfall, head of Station H), picked up for her abilities and when the old M retired, she replaced him (maybe her relationship was like Smiley's with Control). Her power is not physical but intellectual, she is ageing old lady above else, so she doesn't look threatening, which is her most potent weapon. She can pick her people and direct them well. Old M is basically Control (Le Carré deliberately wrote his books to subvert Fleming's) but now it seems Bond universe went for Le Carré's take to make itself more grounded.
Love it! Pretty much how I always saw her character. I also always thought that perhaps at a time she herself was “the younger generation” and a symbol of change. A career intelligence officer who rose through the ranks, as opposed to a naval flag officer who was appointed to head the Mi-6 like the old M or Fleming’s superiors that served as inspiration.
@@Mvoeikovjr While in contrast the M Dench plays in the Craig era is very old school ['Christ I miss the cold war'], having done her time [including 11 years as Head of Hong Kong] and by Skyfall is 'raging against the dying of the light'. It shows what a good actress Dench is that she can play two different takes on the same character.
It took a couple weeks, but I finally finished the video! I absolutely love your in-depth Bond videos. They are the gold standard of UA-cam videos in my mind. Bravo! Beautifully done. And I interpret Elektra exactly as you do: mostly manipulative, but also truly has feelings for both Renard and Bond.
But Calvin Dyson.............Will Return ..........In.............THE GREATEST BOND MOVIE EVER MADE!!!!! Because thats a review that I think the whole internet is really REALLY waiting for you to revisit 😉😉😉😉 until then, all the best Calvin and thank you , Dioch Yn Fawr 🙂
This was my favorite Bond movie growing up, and it’s honestly my favorite one still. There are so many quotable lines and I loved the N64 game. Once again you have outdone yourself with everything especially the skits. You have become my favorite UA-camr and I’m looking forward to the fantastic videos you’ll be doing in the future!
Loved this review more than I do the film. (To be fair, I’m not that big on the movie, but your joyful appraisal and effusive gushing is utterly infectious.)
This was the first Bond movie I saw in the cinema back in 1999. Great experience, although it’s fallen in my rankings over the last 20 years. The action, score and Brosnan was sensational as usual.
Fantastic job, Calvin! Watched it from start to finish without interruption. I rarely ever watch anything this long on UA-cam, but it absolutely flew by and I still wanted more 👏 I'm also a big fan of The World Is Not Enough and think it's unfairly underrated. Lastly, a strange little knit-pick I've always had about the (amazing) boat chase sequence... I kind of dislike how grey and flat it looks. I know, I know.. It's London, England! It's very often drab and overcast, but I just think it would have been so much more dynamic with a nice blue sky and a hint of lense flare. Again, it's a small, strange knit-pick and I really do love the whole sequence and rank it right up there with some of the best in Bond though.
I adore The World is Not Enough, it was the first Bond Film I owned and my VHS Tape deserves a Distinguished Service Medal. Brosnan was never better, that pre-title sequence on the Thames is unmatched and what an underrated pair of villains. I had the pleasure of meeting Denise Richards at a wedding and told her how much I loved her in this and Starship Troopers. She was lovely.
Surprised no mention of Brosnan's 'I never miss' line when he dispatches Elektra. Partners well with his 'its what keeps me alive' in GoldenEye that gives a brief window into how much of a psychopath he is when you peel back the layers.
Also his response to Dr Kauffman saying 'I'm just a professional doing a job' is a blunt 'so am I' before killing him. For all people say Brosnan is the 'fun' Bond, he had his darker side.
Wow 2 hours. You have really outdone yourself this time Calvin! I've been watching since 2013 and it seems like you just get better every year haha. Keep up the good work!
Calvin, your theory about having two favorite Bond movies really got me thinking, and you're absolutely right. The first Bond movie I ever saw was Live and Let Die on TV, and the first one I experienced on the big screen was GoldenEye. To this day, both remain my two favorite Bond movies.
@@jamesatkinsonjaWell, you're like that one curly fry you accidentally get when ordering regular fries at McDonald's. You didn’t ask for it, but you’re happy to have it.
When I heard you were working on a very in-depth review of this film I was looking forward to this. As yourself we similarly got into Bond at the same time, and this was the first Bond film I saw in cinemas so it dose hold a dear place in my heart, one thing you didn’t mention that sticks out to me is how (I don’t think) this film has aged, I think this film still looks as fresh it did when it came out. I know this film (which I can’t get my head around) gets a bad rap as being boring, I don’t see it, this ranks in the top tier for me, it is a favourite. Very good video as always, had to watch in stages as so long but loved it more for the length, and as well very funny skits in between. Keep up the great videos I love em
Tremendous work, Calvin! Such a joy to watch. Especially the part with the tour around the London filming locations 👏. I was in Istanbul last year, was amazed with how many Bond locations are actually there. Perhaps, we'll see something like that from you when you get to Skyfall 😁. Little off-topic. The deleted scene at 17:30 . I get that it references YOLT and Blofeld specifically, but I don't quite get the literal meaning behind the phrase "It only takes one". I'm not a native English-speaker, so if anyone can please explain the literal meaning of this phrase, I'd appreciate it greatly.
Fun fact: Cigar Girl (Maria Grazia Cucinotta) is from Rome and she participated in a charity auction for SP, she even appears in that film's end credits. While on the subject, I used to live in Rome and everytime I visit and walk along the Tiber I think of SP's car chase, just like you have that with TWINE's Thames boat chase.
This is quite possibly the best, most thorough review of this film. I’ve watched it dozens of times and learned something new. Thank you and keep up the amazing work!
The phrase “The world is not enough” became my motto. It’s because of this film. I was laying in bed one day in deep reflection and thought to myself “The World Is Not Enough “. It’s something of an ever present yearning for more than I can explain or experience. It’s like the physical world seems to be hollow and elusive. No amount of money, love, sex and material things can satisfy. Hence why the world is not enough.
Really great video Calvin! I thoroughly enjoyed it and it was well worth the wait. TWINE sits in the middle of my ranking, outside of my top 10. I was a teenager in the 90s and became a Bond fan during the Brosnan era so I also really like his films (except DAD which I actually loathe). I watched it a few months ago and it was probably the most enjoyment that I ever got from it. I really like the decision to give Dench a bigger role. Having an actor of her caliber and only giving her a few lines of exposition is like hiring a Michelin star chef and only asking him to make toast. The PTS is extraordinary, and Sophie Marceau is great and her confidence in her own ability to manipulate people is fascinating (I love how totally unhinged she is at the very end when she is running up the stairs - "You can't kill me, not in cold blood"). For me, the downsides are that the action peaks significantly in the PTS. The other action scenes are OK but nowhere near the sheer enjoyment of the Q-Boat. The soap opera nature of some of the scenes is a bit grating, and I totally check out of the movie after Electra's death. The sub finale does nothing for me unfortunately. Also, I used to think Renard was a bit of a damp squib of a villain, but after hearing you discuss the power dynamic between him and Electra, that is probably the point. Thanks again for another great review.
No Daminen!!! Die Another Day is a Master piece in cinema history!!! Its just a shame Joel Schumacher didnt direct the movie because he made the best Batman movie in 1997 😉😉😉😉
Thanks very much for all the kind words, Damien and you make a good point concerning the action peaking early. The PTS is in a league of its own in many ways, as much as I enjoy the films other action sequences a lot too.
I agree it would have been better if they could have re-arranged it so Elketra's death was the climax [similar to how Living Daylights has an action ending and then the Whittaker take down] although I'm not sure off the top of my head how that would be done story wise. I agree the action peaks very early with the boat chase [Again, wouldn't work at all story wise but imagine if that was the finale...].
I'm rewatching this movie now and right away I noticed the boat chase has big Batman vibes. The shot of the boat launching out of MI6 into the Thames is almost a direct lift from Batman Forever, when Robin launches out of the Batcave into the Gotham Bay in the batboat while Batman takes to the air in the Batwing. The turbine jet flames roaring out the back of the boat is very Batman as well. Batman Forever had just come out a few years earlier in 1995, so I can't imagine the filmmakers weren't at the very least subconsciously inspired by that boat scene.
25:50 I am always fascinated by it, even since I was a kid I was always amazed by how the oil and gasoline colour looked. Even if I knew this movie was about oil, I gotta say the theme song was fantastic to this day for me. Thanks for this side bar you had in this video Calvin and thank you for making amazing work that you do when you can, if I ever get the chance to meet you in person I’m gonna mention that Q always tried to teach you two things ;) the first being that you never let you get seen bleeding and the second is always have an escape plan.
Fun fact: Calvin Dyson's The World Is Not Enough Review has the longest pre-credit sequence discussion of any Bond film review up to that point.
and one of the best pre title sequences
Brilliant comment 😂😂
Two hours of Calvin talking about TWINE?
…and here I thought Christmas only comes once a year.
That line continues to haunt me
I’ve always wanted to have Christmas in Turkey.
You son of a 😂😂
Calvin: The World is Not Enough is something of a perfect package of a Bond film.
Bond fans: Foolish sentiment?
Calvin (indignant): Family motto!
Ayyyy Pentex
I love your videos ♥️♥️♥️
Yo Calvin as me and you are James bond fans do you ever think of doing a video of bond movie fixing or what if ,like how to fix die another day or what if Pierce got a 5th bond movie and fixing Quantum of solace and what if daniel got a standalone bond movie in his prime before skyfall and fixing Spectre? And Calvin your the man to give us bond fans your opinion.
These videoes have almost turned into full-on documentaries as well as reviews, and I truly love it! Enhances the viewing experience and appreciation of the movies they are accompanying. Should be added as bonus material for the 4K set 🙏 Thank you very much for your hard work Calvin!
This is why we are sticking with him till the very end and beyond :)
This means an awful lot and thanks for your continued support, Øyvind! Thank YOU for watching and I'm very glad to hear the burgeoning length and scope of these videos is well received :D
something I find interesting is Bond's last words to Renard , "she's waiting for you," and how Renard almost looks like he feels comfort in that and the idea that Bond probably intended it that way.
That lady peeking around the corner is clearly Mrs. Doubtfire!
I hope it means we'll get a mrs Doubtfire review soon. I still cant decide if that movie or HOME ALONE is Chris Columbuses best movie.
When abouts is that in the video?
@callumhaigh8233 about 4:25
Helloooo!
Euphegenia Doubtfire dear
This video essay essentially crowns you as the worlds biggest The World Is Not Enough Fan. Wear that with pride Calvin!
Thanks so much for this 🙏 very kind of you and I’ll certainly wear it pride 😁😁 Hope you enjoyed the video!
Calvin, I wanted to let you know that you have single-handedly caused me to rethink the Brosnan era and to love it. I was 25 when GoldenEye came out and I always took Brosnan's Bond for granted. But now I appreciate how good it actually was. I truly enjoy re-watching Brosnan's movies. Thank you!
Thank you so much for this, William! It means a lot to me and I'm happy to have contributed to any positive re-evaluation of Brosnan's era :D THANK YOU!
As a long time Brosnan defender I love this. Ive always thought he was one of the best Bonds ever often surrounded by some of the worst decisions film wise, but TWINE and GoldenEye is Brosnan and the franchise operating at their finest!
As a long-time Brosnan Bond fan, I'm glad people are getting more positive on his movies. I've loved all four of these movies (yes, even that one) and I have constantly sung the praises of Pierce Brosnan as the one definitive James Bond.
...and honestly kinda makes me a bit sad that with the exception of Skyfall the Craig films really fell flat in my eyes.
Can I just take a moment to praise the Mrs. Bell joke at 34:55? That was utterly brilliant haha
Gotta explain my girlfriend that we can't watch a movie tonight cause Calvin released a 2 hours video
Told my wife I'd be decorating the Christmas trees while watching a 2-hour Calvin Dyson video about TWINE. She said, the movie's about that long. But bless you Calvin for digging in and being so entertaining.
1 hour 56 mins?!?!?
*grabs popcorn*
I'm not complaining :)
I've considered putting The World Is Not Enough in my top 3 favourite Bond films before! Very underrated!
I love TWINE as it is the only Brosnan film that didn’t have a satellite as a major plot point
I must be an idiot because I've never connected that.... and now I'll never be able to miss it
Where’s the petition to have you cast as an extra in Q branch? The ‘Science fact’ badge has such great merch potential!
The cutaways to your "pilgrimage" to... Ahem... Swindon... Got a massive laugh out of me.
I drive past it onto the A419 on the way to work every day :D
I traveled from New Jersey to Swindon back in 2005 for an XTC fan convention!
Yes finally the TWINE review we've all been waiting for, The World is Not Enough will always be one of my favourite Bond films because it was the first Bond film I ever watched. I remember the boat chase scene and the hot air balloon blowing up in the pre title sequence and I loved it
I really do hope you enjoy it!
@calvindyson I think it's impossible to not like one of your videos ;)
Calvin, I think it would be fitting if you added the introduction you wrote on Patreon to the description of this video. For such a monster review, at the pinnacle of your ability, I think just one line in the description is underselling it by a huge margin.
Thank you kindly for this. You know, I'm going to do just that!
1:01:00 What is funny is that German actor Claude-Oiver Rudolph (Akakievich) used to be quite vocal about his role in TWINE, often over-exaggerating it to that of a Bond-villain when it was a) such a small part with hardly a couple of lines and b) not even on the villains' side anways.
1:41:33 I've always found it an interesting decision that in this scene Bond and M have matching outfits - white suits with a blue shirt.
Don't know if that was an intentional decision, and if it was what it's supposed to signify (perhaps a way of unifying M and Bond, a nod to the fact that M is the closest thing Bond's ever had to a parental figure, but then why they felt the need to make such a nod I don't know). Probably best not to overthink it but even if it is just a coincidence, it's an interesting one. If anyone has Lindy Hemming's phone number perhaps they can ask her if it was a conscious clothing colour coordination.
Oh hey now this is something I'll never not noice every time I rewatch TWINE! I'd be very interested to know if that was indeed coordinated or purely coincidence/subconcious. I really dig your reading of the symbolism behind it though!!
A simpler explanation would be office dress code but knowing the amazing thinking and attention to detail that Lindy Hemming put on her costume choice (see the audio commentary of Casino Royal, the Solange red dress for example) it's not far fetch to see a little deeper as you did!
I suppose it's similar to why Madeline mostly wears white in NTTD as she is ultimately an innocent caught up in the events [as well as maybe an illusion to the names Swan+Mr White!].
One of my favorite micro-moments in this film, is when the Cigar girl says “let’s go!” and points her gun at the balloonist.. you at first hear the balloonist angrily yelling “hey! What the hell are you-“ ..and then when Cigar girl points her gun and says “let’s go!”, you hear that same angry balloonist sheepishly respond with “okay” 😂😂 it gets me every time..
With all due respect, I love the little piano sting in the Bond meets Renard scene, and I will doing a 30 minute video defending it soon.
I will be seated!
Awesome job on this buddy! I'm definitely right there with you on loving this film. You totally did it justice. It's 4am here in the states but I could not be happier with my video selection lol. Thanks for the upload!
Thank you so much! I'm very happy to hear you enjoyed it :)
Dang, what an excellent tribute to an underrated movie. I really appreciated your extra insights with well-placed passages from the original screenplay (which I really must read for myself now), deleted scenes and trivia about the actors and locations. Bravo! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Calvin, this has been an absolutely epic journey! From the months of buildup reviewing The World is Not Enough video game series to this incredibly detailed and insightful movie review, it’s been nothing short of brilliant. Your attention to detail and passion for James Bond shine through in every moment. I’m giving this adventure a well-deserved 5 out of 5 stars-stellar work, as always!
The gags in this video have been top tier. I'm crying with laughter 😅
37:55 - I feel compelled to mention, Calvin, that the hologram projector from TWINE is used again for a breifing scene early on in 007: Everything or Nothing!
It's a smaller version on M's desk that projects Diavolo's head while her and Bond are discussing the assignment.
I absolutely adore that inclusion, since it is absolutely a direct reference to the scene in TWINE and the larger Brosnan-era. (Though as a kid, due to playing the EA games first before seeing the movies-- and if I recall correctly --I think I assumed that TWINE was actually referencing my favorite video game when that big hologram of Renard's head appeared!)
Also loved the reference to A View To A Kill in that scene.
“Yes, we once played bridge together. He lost.”
The song by Garbage is fantastic, especially when you listen to the lyrics and realize it was hinting at the twist the whole time. I love me some ludonarrative harmony.
One of the few songs written from the point of view of the villain. A female one, at that.
Well worth the wait Calvin! Happy TWINE 25th Anniversary 🍸
I'm only 11 minutes in and I've already cracked the hell up several times. This is one of your best in a while. It also helps that I love this movie.
‘This guy’ at 1:32:24 is stuntman Derek Lea, who some might remember played the otherwise uncredited ‘Top Gear Stuntman’ for several episodes back around the time QoS came out.
This review is definitely going to be one of the best ones you've made all around, and it's why you've appealed to not just myself, but to so many others, as a result of all the work and enthusiasm you put into making these! Keep up all the excellent work!
Robbie Coltrane's smirk to bonds car being buzzed in half always gets a chuckle from me, surprised you didn't point it out. However you are still the ultimate bond guy ❤
Not a Brit, but found myself laughing hard at the "Possibly taking on water from the Thames might be the most dangerous Bond stunt ever!" line.
I've always enjoyed the movie as well, never got the hate for Denise either.
I do enjoy the longer format and in depth reviews you do, been watching for multiple years now and the more you revist bond movies the more deep dives you do and I learn more things, hopefully you continue doing these sorts of videos!
One of my favorite aspects of the Brosnan era was the returning, distinctive actors who came back for small roles. It made the whole era feel more connected, but in a subtle way.
I have really enjoyed this series of TWINE videos over the last few weeks. Calvin you've done a cracking job and this film review is the icing on the cake.
One of my favorites. Pierce was so comfortably james bond, elektra was one of the rare villainess masterminds of the franchise, M factored big in the plot, seeing valentin back was a treat (R.I.P Robbie), and the action was fun. Always nice to see your love of TWINE.
I fully understand Calvin's sentiment given that TWINE was one of the first Bond films he saw in the cinema; we all have that nostalgic feeling. But I would say that all of the issues Calvin does raise with the film (the early and contrived feelings Bond develops for Elektra, overblown moments, bad dialogue) were far more of a killer for me. I was only 14 when I saw this in the theatres and walked away bitterly disappointed. That opinion hasn't much changed the past 25 years; it's one that I skip during any Bond marathons on TV.
It's amazing for a movie so long that they rush so many critical elements of the plot. Those are the moments that should've been explored further rather than the extended and slow-played development in the first 45 or so minutes of the film.
Regardless, kudos to Calvin for producing one hell of a video! Very well done indeed!
Calvin your work on here has only gotten better and better as time goes on. I Love these bond in depth reviews. Btw I had a literal spit take at 35:06 too good!! LOL
The use of the TWINE video game music over the corresponding scenes is an excellent touch to this already excellent video
Going from 10 to 15 minute reviews for Bond films because of the UA-cam limits to now nearly 2 hour in depth reviews. The progress I’ve seen from this channel in watching for nearly 12 years has been amazing. Almost like my slow growing in love with The World is not enough. Went from bottom 3 Bond film. To a solid 11th or 12th Bond film, a movie I love to watch on a rainy day. Keep it up Calvin ❤
What a great day to be a Bond fan.
Fantastic Love the use of the term "MacGyver his way out!" 😂 Brilliant in depth review of a brilliant Bond film, I've always enjoyed The World is Not Enough.
I held my breath during that scene too! Must've worn out the VHS for how often I'd watch it. Nice touch using the N64 music, I was at first disappointed the game didn't have the actual bond music but all these years later the tunes still get stuck in my head.
TWINE: You wouldn't post an In-Depth Review on me. You'd miss me.
Calvin: I never miss.
An absolute triumph of a video. I am a big TWINE fan and was genuinely really excited to see this video. You're so funny with the skits and snide jokes being fantastic here. I was laughing out loud. Your insight on the characters, especially Elektra was intriguing and informative. I also had so much fun, as a fellow TWINE fan, celebrating this movie alongside you. Fantastic video that did not disappoint at all.
This video is just a pure delight. Thanks for making these Calvin.
It’s my pleasure! Thank you 😁
GREAT video! As per.
I actually really like the moments you mentioned where Brosnan and Craig (in the Elektra/Blofeld scenes) do a few off-kilter line readings. It's like they're letting Bond the man and his emotional reactions to the situations in question peek out from the cold, professional exterior. Because I love little glimpses like that, while registering the line readings as off-kilter like you say, I don't find them out of character and embrace them as a result.
I was 15 when this one came out and couldn't get enough, went to the cinema about 5 times and rented it every weekend until it came out to buy. I've cooled on it as time has gone on but I do naturally retain a very soft spot for this film. If I'm in the right mood, it's brilliantly entertaining. It still feels like the last Bond film in the "classic" mould. Which is nuts considering it was 25 years ago. And that it tweaks the formula more than it ever had been at that point (Bond girl/villain twist, expanded role for M etc), but despite that it still feels unmistakably 'classic' Bond.
I've been working in the medical scene for months and the idea of M hardly doing much but drink during the Brosnan era made me worried about her kidneys 😅
Also, that skit of you singing Happy Birthday to a drowning Robbie absolutely tickled me.
Thank you, Calvin! This video was just the most entertaining, funny, in-depth and comfortable review I've watched in years. I watched it over three evenings and it was very cosy viewing (much like all the the Brosnan films, these days). Thank you so much.
P.S. it could have been longer!
I absolutely love this film! And loved watching your review! This was the first Bond film I saw in the cinema, aged 13 with a school friend and I always think of it with such fondness. I absolutely adore this film and it's my favourite!
For some reason I really like the look of bond in the Russian energy suit it feels like something a spy would wear and I love uniforms being worn in places they are not usually worn in
It's nice to finally get to see this review now!
I got on a Calvin Dyson binge after seeing Casino Royale '67 for the first time. So much so, I even dressed as a gangster for a fall festival because of Bond's aesthetic of a well-dressed assassin.
Christmas came early with this video!😁 Love the humour as well as analysis here.
One of My Favourite Videos from you Calvin.
Congratulations on this Epic retrospective video on this Wonderful Slice of 90s Nostalgia.
I can't wait to see what you do Next time for Die Another Day. That.... is going to be an interesting retrospective to say the very least.
Pierce's accent going broad Irish in the deleted scene is odd. In interviews he always speaks with his unique Irish-English accent, and it tends to steer more towards English. I didn't realise he could slip back into broad Irish. I wonder why no one noticed on the day.
49:51 "Why don't you fix me with your magical penis Mr Bond". You almost just got me fired for laughing too loud at work lmao
🤣🤣 I'm very glad it was only "almost"!!
The skits in your videos never fail to make me smile 😃 your the man Calvin!
I've been looking forward to this ever since I first heard Calvin mention he was doing it which was months and months ago. It did not disappoint. Top notch review/retrospective with some hilarious jokes and gags sprinkled throughout. Well done.
Saw the runtime and figured we were just going to watch the movie. Great review. I always enjoy these videos
I stand by my assertion that TWINE is in contention with Goldeneye for Brosnans best film. Ive always loved it because of the risks & surprises it takes with the Bond formula. Because of the way she operates and seduces Bond I really think that Elektra King is hands down one of the franchise’s best villains. At first blush you start to dismiss her as a stereotypical Bond girl THEN they get you to care about her so the ultimate betrayal just blindsides you like it does Bond.
Also the score and title song are a pitch perfect synthesis of Garbage and David Arnolds brilliant work & collaboration. Arnold is one of if not the best Bond composer in the franchise. His work is incredibly underrated. He was the back bone of the franchise for almost 15 years.
Excellent review, Calvin. Loved it! Made me laugh out loud a few times too. A really entertaining and witty in-depth review 😊
Thank you! Much appreciated 😁😁😁😁
22:40 Thank you for spending some time on my personal favourite Bond mystery!! I also have absolutely no idea why Michael Apted essentially straight up bullshits about coming up with the whole boat chase pre-titles himself (which I always find hilarious), but I also subscribe to the idea that the chase was maybe moved after the titles in some cut. Sometime. Maybe. I'd *love* to know where this myth originated from!
Its a lovley movie and I dont get the un enthusiasm from people with this movie
The alternative cut/trying out different edits thing is the only rational explanation I can think of as to why he'd be seemingly corroborating that rumour... Unless he just figured it was too widespread and rather than spend the rest of his life correcting people, just embraced it as fact? "When the legend becomes fact, print the legend" kind of thing?
In fairness the first two Craig films start off with a short pre-title sequence followed by a massive chase post credits so maybe that was something they were playing about with editing here [and changed it when they realised that the Spanish sequence was a bit of a flat beginning] although the previous Brosnan's film's pre-titles are about 10 mins so there was precedence for a long opening. I have seen speculation that QOS had the chase sequence in pre-title sequence at one stage as when Bond shoots Mitchell it could have lead into a gunbarrel like Casino and the next scene does feel like it's a 'back from the titles' exposition one but I've not seen anything to back it up.
@@calvindyson An update! 007 Magazine claims that "The World Is Not Enough was previewed at a Multiplex cinema in Reading, Berkshire on August 3, 1999...The preview audience reaction was mixed, leaving Director Michael Apted and Editor Jim Clark disappointed. Changes were made, including restoring the Thames river chase into the pre-credit sequence as it had been in Purvis & Wade’s first draft of the screenplay". An Ain't It Cool News article from the time corroborates the preview ("Last night (Tuesday 3/8/99) there were test screenings of the new Bond film held in Reading (England) at the Showcase cinema") but unfortunately has no details on whether the info about the cut is accurate! But, if it is, it does seem that a preview cut moved the boat chase to somewhere it wasn't in the script...! Would love to find some details from people actually at that preview screening...
@@calvindysonThe Man who Shot Liberty Valence!
I’m now gonna watch this film again tonight, so thanks for that Calvin!
Have been patiently waiting for this all month, so onto the 2nd watch already. Thanks Calvin, your dedication it admirable
Been watching your videos for years now Calvin. You got me into the older Bond movies and I eventually bought the entire collection and love the whole series! While this movie is far from my favorite Bond movie, this was an epic video and I loved every minute of it!
In my head canon, Judi Dench's M is something of a George Smiley character of Bond universe. She obviously was a case officer (or, considering what happened in Skyfall, head of Station H), picked up for her abilities and when the old M retired, she replaced him (maybe her relationship was like Smiley's with Control). Her power is not physical but intellectual, she is ageing old lady above else, so she doesn't look threatening, which is her most potent weapon. She can pick her people and direct them well. Old M is basically Control (Le Carré deliberately wrote his books to subvert Fleming's) but now it seems Bond universe went for Le Carré's take to make itself more grounded.
Love it! Pretty much how I always saw her character. I also always thought that perhaps at a time she herself was “the younger generation” and a symbol of change. A career intelligence officer who rose through the ranks, as opposed to a naval flag officer who was appointed to head the Mi-6 like the old M or Fleming’s superiors that served as inspiration.
@@Mvoeikovjr While in contrast the M Dench plays in the Craig era is very old school ['Christ I miss the cold war'], having done her time [including 11 years as Head of Hong Kong] and by Skyfall is 'raging against the dying of the light'. It shows what a good actress Dench is that she can play two different takes on the same character.
This was worth the wait, ive seen the others and been waiting for this one to drop! Amazing video
Your joke about Renard's refreshments features a delicatessen... in stainless steel! ;)
It took a couple weeks, but I finally finished the video! I absolutely love your in-depth Bond videos. They are the gold standard of UA-cam videos in my mind. Bravo! Beautifully done.
And I interpret Elektra exactly as you do: mostly manipulative, but also truly has feelings for both Renard and Bond.
But Calvin Dyson.............Will Return ..........In.............THE GREATEST BOND MOVIE EVER MADE!!!!! Because thats a review that I think the whole internet is really REALLY waiting for you to revisit 😉😉😉😉 until then, all the best Calvin and thank you , Dioch Yn Fawr 🙂
Thank you, Dafydd! All the best to you as well and I hope you've been keeping well :)
This was my favorite Bond movie growing up, and it’s honestly my favorite one still. There are so many quotable lines and I loved the N64 game. Once again you have outdone yourself with everything especially the skits. You have become my favorite UA-camr and I’m looking forward to the fantastic videos you’ll be doing in the future!
Loved this review more than I do the film. (To be fair, I’m not that big on the movie, but your joyful appraisal and effusive gushing is utterly infectious.)
I've been waiting a while for this video, and it was definitely worth it. Great video Calvin!
This was the first Bond movie I saw in the cinema back in 1999. Great experience, although it’s fallen in my rankings over the last 20 years.
The action, score and Brosnan was sensational as usual.
Fantastic job, Calvin! Watched it from start to finish without interruption. I rarely ever watch anything this long on UA-cam, but it absolutely flew by and I still wanted more 👏
I'm also a big fan of The World Is Not Enough and think it's unfairly underrated.
Lastly, a strange little knit-pick I've always had about the (amazing) boat chase sequence... I kind of dislike how grey and flat it looks. I know, I know.. It's London, England! It's very often drab and overcast, but I just think it would have been so much more dynamic with a nice blue sky and a hint of lense flare. Again, it's a small, strange knit-pick and I really do love the whole sequence and rank it right up there with some of the best in Bond though.
Always enjoy these 'in depth review' and appreciate the time you take on them.
I adore The World is Not Enough, it was the first Bond Film I owned and my VHS Tape deserves a Distinguished Service Medal. Brosnan was never better, that pre-title sequence on the Thames is unmatched and what an underrated pair of villains.
I had the pleasure of meeting Denise Richards at a wedding and told her how much I loved her in this and Starship Troopers. She was lovely.
I thought I was the only one having Pipeline playing in the background when having to meet a deadline 😂👏🏼
Surprised no mention of Brosnan's 'I never miss' line when he dispatches Elektra. Partners well with his 'its what keeps me alive' in GoldenEye that gives a brief window into how much of a psychopath he is when you peel back the layers.
Also his response to Dr Kauffman saying 'I'm just a professional doing a job' is a blunt 'so am I' before killing him. For all people say Brosnan is the 'fun' Bond, he had his darker side.
Absolutely! That's one of the best lines Bond has after killing a villain in all 25 movies.
Wow 2 hours. You have really outdone yourself this time Calvin! I've been watching since 2013 and it seems like you just get better every year haha. Keep up the good work!
The World is Not Enough, but a Calvin Dyson review is such a perfect place to start
Calvin, your theory about having two favorite Bond movies really got me thinking, and you're absolutely right. The first Bond movie I ever saw was Live and Let Die on TV, and the first one I experienced on the big screen was GoldenEye. To this day, both remain my two favorite Bond movies.
I'm a bit of an exception as the first one I saw on the big screen was 'Die Another Day' and I really dislike it now!
@@jamesatkinsonjaWell, you're like that one curly fry you accidentally get when ordering regular fries at McDonald's. You didn’t ask for it, but you’re happy to have it.
Thank you Calvin you do not know how happy you made me!!! This is my favorite movie ever !! 😃
I love how much Calvin loves Valentin!! It makes me smile everytime 😃
When I heard you were working on a very in-depth review of this film I was looking forward to this. As yourself we similarly got into Bond at the same time, and this was the first Bond film I saw in cinemas so it dose hold a dear place in my heart, one thing you didn’t mention that sticks out to me is how (I don’t think) this film has aged, I think this film still looks as fresh it did when it came out.
I know this film (which I can’t get my head around) gets a bad rap as being boring, I don’t see it, this ranks in the top tier for me, it is a favourite.
Very good video as always, had to watch in stages as so long but loved it more for the length, and as well very funny skits in between. Keep up the great videos I love em
Tremendous work, Calvin! Such a joy to watch. Especially the part with the tour around the London filming locations 👏. I was in Istanbul last year, was amazed with how many Bond locations are actually there. Perhaps, we'll see something like that from you when you get to Skyfall 😁.
Little off-topic. The deleted scene at 17:30 . I get that it references YOLT and Blofeld specifically, but I don't quite get the literal meaning behind the phrase "It only takes one". I'm not a native English-speaker, so if anyone can please explain the literal meaning of this phrase, I'd appreciate it greatly.
I do love that you spend almost twice as long talking about the pre-title sequence than the length of the sequence itself!
Fun fact: Cigar Girl (Maria Grazia Cucinotta) is from Rome and she participated in a charity auction for SP, she even appears in that film's end credits.
While on the subject, I used to live in Rome and everytime I visit and walk along the Tiber I think of SP's car chase, just like you have that with TWINE's Thames boat chase.
This is quite possibly the best, most thorough review of this film. I’ve watched it dozens of times and learned something new. Thank you and keep up the amazing work!
The phrase “The world is not enough” became my motto. It’s because of this film. I was laying in bed one day in deep reflection and thought to myself “The World Is Not Enough “. It’s something of an ever present yearning for more than I can explain or experience. It’s like the physical world seems to be hollow and elusive. No amount of money, love, sex and material things can satisfy. Hence why the world is not enough.
Really great video Calvin! I thoroughly enjoyed it and it was well worth the wait. TWINE sits in the middle of my ranking, outside of my top 10. I was a teenager in the 90s and became a Bond fan during the Brosnan era so I also really like his films (except DAD which I actually loathe). I watched it a few months ago and it was probably the most enjoyment that I ever got from it. I really like the decision to give Dench a bigger role. Having an actor of her caliber and only giving her a few lines of exposition is like hiring a Michelin star chef and only asking him to make toast. The PTS is extraordinary, and Sophie Marceau is great and her confidence in her own ability to manipulate people is fascinating (I love how totally unhinged she is at the very end when she is running up the stairs - "You can't kill me, not in cold blood"). For me, the downsides are that the action peaks significantly in the PTS. The other action scenes are OK but nowhere near the sheer enjoyment of the Q-Boat. The soap opera nature of some of the scenes is a bit grating, and I totally check out of the movie after Electra's death. The sub finale does nothing for me unfortunately. Also, I used to think Renard was a bit of a damp squib of a villain, but after hearing you discuss the power dynamic between him and Electra, that is probably the point. Thanks again for another great review.
No Daminen!!! Die Another Day is a Master piece in cinema history!!!
Its just a shame Joel Schumacher didnt direct the movie because he made the best Batman movie in 1997 😉😉😉😉
Thanks very much for all the kind words, Damien and you make a good point concerning the action peaking early. The PTS is in a league of its own in many ways, as much as I enjoy the films other action sequences a lot too.
I agree it would have been better if they could have re-arranged it so Elketra's death was the climax [similar to how Living Daylights has an action ending and then the Whittaker take down] although I'm not sure off the top of my head how that would be done story wise. I agree the action peaks very early with the boat chase [Again, wouldn't work at all story wise but imagine if that was the finale...].
This is an unbelievable piece of work and I've only had time to watch the first 20 minutes so far! You're a credit to Bond-dom, Calvin
I'm rewatching this movie now and right away I noticed the boat chase has big Batman vibes. The shot of the boat launching out of MI6 into the Thames is almost a direct lift from Batman Forever, when Robin launches out of the Batcave into the Gotham Bay in the batboat while Batman takes to the air in the Batwing. The turbine jet flames roaring out the back of the boat is very Batman as well.
Batman Forever had just come out a few years earlier in 1995, so I can't imagine the filmmakers weren't at the very least subconsciously inspired by that boat scene.
You sunk my battleship!
25:50 I am always fascinated by it, even since I was a kid I was always amazed by how the oil and gasoline colour looked. Even if I knew this movie was about oil, I gotta say the theme song was fantastic to this day for me. Thanks for this side bar you had in this video Calvin and thank you for making amazing work that you do when you can, if I ever get the chance to meet you in person I’m gonna mention that Q always tried to teach you two things ;) the first being that you never let you get seen bleeding and the second is always have an escape plan.
I like how much of London gets a focus during the opening sequence. They included a ton of wide angles to show off the location!
Well, there goes my afternoon. Amazing work, Calvin!
The scene where James jumps over the balcony out of the top story building always stuck with me as one of the coolest looking stunts.
Thank you for your positivity and wit Calvin !!!! Sooooo refreshing......
Absolutely howling at Calvin's trip to Swindon 🤣
The "I really should've had my lunch before I filmed all this" after all the sandwich stuff got a real chuckle from me
