Adam Fuller I kinda agree, but the best fight scene, I reckon for me in a bond film is the train scene fight between Sean Connery and Robert shaw, on the orient express from the bond film from Russia with love. For me personally it was the best fight scene in a bond film. But this was a good fight scene also.
Yes I put this one up there with From Russia Love. Super realistic and gritty. What a real fight looks like. These fights just have that natural look to them and are often not replicated. They are hard to do no doubt.
Agreed (GoldenEye is my favourite Bond flick) and FRWL's train fight is up there too. My favourite though was the train fight in Spectre (as lackluster as that movie was it did have its moments) between Bond and Batista, that shit was very brutal too. Craig broke his leg filming that fight scene and needed actual knee surgery, and said to this day still has lasting pain from the injury! Talk about throwing yourself into a fucking acting role...
Goldeneye is not just a Bond movie...IT'S A MASTERPIECE!What a way to introduce the new Bond to the series....In my opinion Goldeneye is on TOP 3 Bond movies EVER!
GE had it all. Arecibo Observatory telescope which actually is decommissioned now. Badass tank scene. Xania that strangles you to death with those sexy legs such a unique twist to a villain. 006 who is better then 007 lol (my opinion). Awesome liners. The badass Tiger helicopter. The GoldenEye weapons system which actually is a cool idea and pretty darn realistic. And lastly the music in GE is the best out of any bond movie in my opinion and yes I seen every bond movie even the unofficial Never Say Never. Oh and also a badass bond game was developed thanks to this movie. GE had best villains in my opinion jean grey can strangle me to death anytime lol she can be onatopp of me anytime hehe.
Pierce Brosnan and Sean Bean... both in their physical prime and kicking seven kinds of shit out of each other. Still one of the best choregraphed and most brutal fist fights in all of the Bond films. Reminds of the intensity of Connery vs Robert Shaw in From Russia with Love.
@@lindildeev5721 Hahahaha, but no. How could Sean be immortal when he continuously dies in damn near every film he's in? Lmao, he's something alright and it's definitely not "immortal" by any chance which is why Pierce would've actually won technically speaking.
People say Goldeneye or Battlefield predicted it, but when you have a 900-ton building held up by only cables, it's not hard to imagine it collapsing someday.
Nataliya is low-key the best Bond girl. She rarely needs rescuing, destroys the GoldenEye herself, and even pops up in time to give Bond the upper hand on Trevelyen.
I still think Nataliya is the top Bond girl to date because she actually does all the work. She is the one that prevented Golden Eye from attacking London. Bond just made sure her mission was complete.
Trevelyan: “From one professional to another, if you're trying to scare somebody, pick a better spot. From this height, the fall wouldn't kill me.” Bond: “I'm counting on it.”
Just rewatched this fight for the first time in years and was really impressed by how well this scene holds up. The pace of the fight is so raw, and there's a surprising amount of good technique in there too. Trevelyan gets Bond in a cross collar choke, looks like Bond uses a Whizzer to toss Alec into those metal rods, and all the dirty boxing and the uppercut he threw were really good and rough for that era, where things tended to be more spin-kicky and slo-mo with wide angle shots. Goldeneye has a lot of tight, handheld shots of the action, seems like it helped push the action genre along for sure
Forgot to mention the arm-wrench Bond does on Trevelyan also, to toss him into the shelf. Really solid, dirty but surprisingly technical fight in a good confined space
Its a shame this version they've cut away the headbutts both guys throw at the other funny enough the matrix had the same thing removed must've been the time I guess?
The uppercut Bond throws at 2:43 - it only stuns Alec for a second or two, allowing Bond to land a few more shots until Alec recovers and starts in again. They're evenly matched up physically and it's awesome to watch.
whats messed up, i know its just a movie though, and havent seen it in a while, but alec does a judas on james for no good reason, (but then in the end james does it to him) he just betrays, cause he disgrees with mi6 or cause he can i guess? but its messed up, considering their litteral best buddies in the beggining of the movie.
@@ps123fan Alec actually thought of asking James to join him in betraying MI6 but knew he never would. They were friends, but Alec wanted revenge against England and wanted to basically destroy everything James had fought to protect. James did what he had to.

I'm one of those Bond fans who came to respect Daniel Craig when I first saw him in Casino Royale, but damn, Pierce Brosnan nailed it here in his first outing. Along with Casino Royale, I think Goldeneye was one of the best Bond movies ever, and included one of the best fight scene ever. These two guys looked like they were really trying to kill each other.
My favorite was from Trevelyan: "You know James, I was always better!" I love this quote because "James" is an important name that's been passed down in my family and I'm tired of hearing it. My future son will be named Alec for that and a few other reasons. Coincidentally, I literally used to tell my dad when we would argue, and whose father's name was James: "I was born better than you!"
As ridiculous as the idea of Trevelyan surviving a fall of that height is, the upside is he gets a very fitting death, as his whole scheme quite literally caves in on him 🤣
@@thedestroyer2alltrolls411 What I mean is the fight seen in this clip has been shortened, like the headbutt from 006 and the knee to the face from 007. Those are missing from here. Uncut version ua-cam.com/video/ZRR4GbaGHDY/v-deo.htmlsi=KNKi4GkEj4lTZVAr
No Hollywood flash or over stylization, and not overly drawn out. Guys fighting like this even if in top shape are going to be out of breath in just a few minutes, making the shortness even better. It really is one of the best fight scenes in movies.
The hand-to-hand combat in this scene between 007 and 006 is brutal, and I believe it had to be toned down for the ratings board because originally it was more violent. Such a great intense scene, probably the best fight scene in the entire Bond franchise. Kept it simple, no music, just two trained killers in a room trying to destroy each other. You can see their training incorporates elements of judo, boxing, kung fu, and a few other martial arts disciplines
The fight was indeed toned down. Watch 1:22 to 1:34. That sequence of Bond kneeing 006 in the groin, head-smashing him to the door frame, throwing 006 down a flight of stairs, and shooting him was supposed to be a longer fight sequence. It was gonna be more violent between the 2, longer, and a separate battle in its own right before the final fight sequence that followed..
You can tell that Martin Campbell, the director of this one, also did Casino Royale. Both this and the stairwell fight from the other film are masterclasses in how to film tense but grounded fight scenes.
Jesus I forget how frenetic and relentless this sequence was, so many elements at play (gunplay, physical stunts, CQC, hacking), and just the perilous environment they're in.. I feel like even Casino Royale pales in comparison to how raw this action feels.
Alec:- For England James? Bond:- No, for Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, the Isle of Mann, the Channel Islands, the Overseas Territories and the Commonwealth Alec:- Oh.............. Arrggggh
SR GARMADON he mentions that his parents were Linez Cossacks. Linez is in Austria. Unsure of how often Cossacks moved around so he could be mixed ethnically.
It's a bit disappointing the Craig era doesn't have a main villain who can put up a good fight with his Bond, the closest was Silva who was killed off rather anticlimatically.
That is a weird complaint as the main villain usually does not have a proper fight with Bond. In Connery's era only 3 of the main villains actually fought Bond: Dr. No, Rosa Klebb, and Emilo Largo. Dr. No wasn't a very challenging fight, Klebb got pinned to wall, and Largo was more of a brawl. Lazenby fought Blofeld in the bobsled. Moore had a brief fight with Dr. Kanaga, a duel with Scaramanga and an axe fight with Zorin on the Golden Gate Bridge. Dalton had a shoot out with Whittaker and briefly dodged Sanchez's machete on a tanker truck. Brosan had his final fight with Trevelyan, a dust up with Renard on the sub, and grappled with Gustave Graves on a plane. Craig fought Dominic Greene in an exploding hotel. While that is a few that still leaves 3 Connery's, 4 Moore's, 1 Brosan, and 2-3 for Craig without a final fight with the main villain.
@@trueblue6201 spot on. Brosnan is really the only one who had multiple proper fights with the main villain. Moore only really had one as the Kananga fight was a joke. Saying that I would have liked to have seen more of a fight with Safin
Even including martial arts movies.... this has to be one of /if not the favourite choreographed fight scene in a movie. Very realistic. Die Hard 2 on the wing is a close 2nd.
@@saltedpeanut1847 actually i would have added the climax sequence from License To Kill as well, sure not all of it is a fist fight but it's still well choreographed and a brutal final act.
They're my two favourite Bonds tbh, I love Brosnan and Dalton. Of course I would've loved if Dalton had been in GoldenEye but Brosnan was still brilliant so I don't mind that much.
@@Thicc_Cheese_Dip I thought that TLD and LTK were written with Brosnan in mind bc they wanted him instead of Dalton but he was tied up with Remington Steele at the time
I'm not kidding, but I saw this on a recorded VHS of Bond dropping Trevelyn. I WAS PROBABLY 8 YEARS OLD and it scared the heck out of me!!!! And I still remember that line: "For England, James?" "No, for me."
I was like “finally”! Possibly because my fear (I was a similar age, 10 at the time) had been how they filmed Alec beating up Bond. The way the camera was fixed on the fighting made me feel a bit for Bond and how hard Alec was hitting him.
Back when the final battle was about beating the sh*t out of each other in a real brawl looking fashion, and none of that gymnastics choreography we have nowadays.
Fun fact, the big telescope where this fight was filmed, Arecibo Observatory, has itself collapsed irl after years of hurricane damage and neglect, making this movie accurate.
Worth of Oscar nominations for Best Sound Editing and Best Film Editing 👏👏👏 all the punches and the antenna machineries are just precise, so are the scenes' cuts
*Still one of the most iconic final showdowns in film history & among the most memorable James Bond 'live or die' moments ever* 🇬🇧 *P.S.* *If you listen carefully, you can almost hear Alec Trevalyan scream in the recent footage of the Arecibo Observatory collapse*
Goldeneye was such a strong debut for Brosnan's run as Bond, but the future films just never came close. They started Brosnan off as a ruthless, cold agent, but he slowly became the smarmy pretty-boy jokester from the Roger Moore era.
Love this fight scene. Really feels like 2 guys trying to kick the crap out of each other - no neat and tidy martial arts, just raw and savage violence. You can sense the animosity the characters have for each other
Trevelyan: "Ok James I'm sorry, I've learned my lesson, take me in." Bond: "I can't... you're played by Sean Bean in this movie" ...5:14 In all seriousness though, Bond said earlier "I trusted you Alec" Bond trusts very VERY few people in life and Alec Trevelyan was one of those few... that's how much 006 meant to him! This is and always will be my favourite Bond movie. 👌
man pierce was just the best… I grew up with him as the bond of my childhood & loved all his films, here in particular I always thought the fight was quite brutal for a bond film & pierce may have actually been losing the fight… just such good drama all round & a memorable film
Brutal, intense, and personal. Easily one of the best, if not the best fight scenes in the entire 007 canon.

This film is directed like a swan with a angel. Martin Campbell did a fine job.
Then nailed it 10 years later again!!
One of my favorite Bond films, great cast & story.
best videogame
"Trevelyan has activated the antenna controle console! Three minutes until antenna realigns!" *cue alarm and tense music*
RIP Arecibo Observatory, aka the Goldeneye Dish.
F
LOL
I didn't know that this movie was film in Arecibo 🇵🇷 wow I'm from Bayamon PR .
*#F*
This observatory just collapsed today :-(
Even including martial arts movies.... this has to be one of /if not the favourite choreographed fight scene in a movie. Very realistic.
Die Hard 2 on the wing is a close 2nd.
Agreed. Its brilliant, and I can't really think of any other bond films where the fights are this brutal except Casino Royale.
Salted Peanut ; Only one I can say comes close is the From Russia with love train fight, that was cloned in “spectre”.
@@BB-mv9wloh shit yeah that is great as well
Lol
@@saltedpeanut1847 actually i would have added the climax sequence from License To Kill as well, sure not all of it is a fist fight but it's still well choreographed and a brutal final act.
007 vs 006
4:55 Natalya actually saved bonds life there.
Everytime I see that ladder scene when it jerks to a stop I feel it. Unrealistically realistic full out brawl.
I think Pierce actually injured his hand in this scene too :O
@@PJGan13He did. In fact, you can see it when the ladder abruptly stopped.
For me License To Kill and Goldeneye still have the two best endings in the franchise.
That's because both had been written with Timothy Dalton in mind.
They're my two favourite Bonds tbh, I love Brosnan and Dalton. Of course I would've loved if Dalton had been in GoldenEye but Brosnan was still brilliant so I don't mind that much.
@@Thicc_Cheese_Dip I thought that TLD and LTK were written with Brosnan in mind bc they wanted him instead of Dalton but he was tied up with Remington Steele at the time
@@Thicc_Cheese_Dip What do you mean by that sorry?
Don't Forget In Flight (James Bond vs. Necros) in "Living Daylights"
"SPEAK TO ME!"
I'm not kidding, but I saw this on a recorded VHS of Bond dropping Trevelyn. I WAS PROBABLY 8 YEARS OLD and it scared the heck out of me!!!!
And I still remember that line: "For England, James?"
"No, for me."
I was like “finally”! Possibly because my fear (I was a similar age, 10 at the time) had been how they filmed Alec beating up Bond. The way the camera was fixed on the fighting made me feel a bit for Bond and how hard Alec was hitting him.
One does not simply walk on the Arecibo telescope
I like the sense of urgency in this scene
1st December 2020, Arecibo Telescope collapsed. We know what really happened.
Back when the final battle was about beating the sh*t out of each other in a real brawl looking fashion, and none of that gymnastics choreography we have nowadays.
Fun fact, the big telescope where this fight was filmed, Arecibo Observatory, has itself collapsed irl after years of hurricane damage and neglect, making this movie accurate.
:’(
RIP Arecibo Observatory, December 1, 2020, the exact day of collapse. 😥
I'm wondering if they found Trevelyan or a frozen man underneath?
@@genghiscan2918 you mean Boris
thats not fun at all :/
I remember this hand to hand fight scene as the first ever to be really convincing and raw
The train fight scene in From Russia With Love was just as convincing and raw IMO
Worth of Oscar nominations for Best Sound Editing and Best Film Editing 👏👏👏 all the punches and the antenna machineries are just precise, so are the scenes' cuts
Sean Bean was amazing as Trevelyan!
Well now we know what happened on the morning of Dec1 2020. James bond broke Arecibo
Actually it was decommissioned due to it breaking down, but it eventually collapsed. James Bond isn't real.
@@user-og6hl6lv7p Damn, man. Why’d you have to break it to him like that?
Who here after the cable snapped at the Aricebo Observatory?
Im here because a second cable snapped there and reading that brought back memories of this movie.....
Bond forgets his body armor
That's the most intense bond fight ever but to short.
1995: "It's just a fiction."
*2020:* "This is the real deal!"
2020: "psst, hey wanna see the real thing"
This thing actually crashed today in 2020. Goldeneye predicted the future!
My God, the music is amazing in this scene!!
In its purest form - two 00's going at each other!!!! Incredible
I'm from Puerto Rico, and this place fell to pieces today. Very sad.
2:20 is where the N64 damage sound comes from
What damage? Getting shot?
Kenneth Wilburn
The loud breathing is what the N64 used as the sound Bond makes in the game when he’s shot/damaged.
alan Tony I guess that sounded like it. Can’t say it sounds 100% the same though
Are you sure? It don't sound exactly the same.
The movie predicted the end of the Arecibo... i'm a bit sad about it :'(
The new Goldeneye 64 mod looks awesome!
You talking about GoldenEye Source?
Most frustrating level on 00 mode
*GoldenEye 007
This scene keeps you on the edge of your seat!
The most Freudian of the Bond fist fights; every hit was personal and oozed hatred for a bromance lost that never was.
I guess this scene happened today Dec 1 2020 , the antenna is located in Puerto Rico and fell to the ground in real life earlier today😭
At 4:02 even as a kid watching this I was like “how in the world did he catch himself from that?!”
Surviving a gigantic drop from a massive space telescope? Now that's soldiering!
Now the whole thing is getting decommissioned. Thanks James!
It chose to go the villain base destruction exit
Fun fact battlefield 4 has a map called rouge transmission based off this
Just heard today this actually happened in real life (December 1 this year) the entire structure has collapsed!
One does not simply fall from that height and survives
Not realistic but its a movie XD
Think you lost the joke there,@@Bob-if2qs .
he most likely broke his back and was paralyzed before the tower crashed on him.
Mckenzie .Latham But then screams??!? Wouldn’t he be incapable of that?!??
@@Mr.Honest247 not unless his throat or lungs were crushed...
Absolutely brilliant fight scene, probably my favourite in the Bond series. 2 agents at the top of their game kicking the shit out of each other
I think it's one of the best films of James Bond saga!
Definitely my favourite James Bond Villain.
4:40 - Mac in a nutshell.
Don't you just love it when perfectly stable things like steel, wire and wood start exploding because ....well that's what was in the script.
He sabotages the satellite at 1:40
@@JM-dy4ty Seriously? Bond puts a steel bar into a chain driven mechanism and at 5:49 the metal components catch fire then explode. LOL!
*Still one of the most iconic final showdowns in film history & among the most memorable James Bond 'live or die' moments ever* 🇬🇧
*P.S.*
*If you listen carefully, you can almost hear Alec Trevalyan scream in the recent footage of the Arecibo Observatory collapse*
Who else is here after Arecibo's collapse? :(
Goldeneye was such a strong debut for Brosnan's run as Bond, but the future films just never came close.
They started Brosnan off as a ruthless, cold agent, but he slowly became the smarmy pretty-boy jokester from the Roger Moore era.
Love this fight scene. Really feels like 2 guys trying to kick the crap out of each other - no neat and tidy martial arts, just raw and savage violence. You can sense the animosity the characters have for each other
Both of Alec Trevelyan’s legs break when he hits the ground like Conor McGregor’s, Chris Weidman’s and Anderson Silva’s at 5:22 That’s Brutal!!
RIP the Arecibo Observatory in real life as of 01DEC2020
I never realized how good this fight was the first time I watched it.
Gotta love that bullet proof chain link fence!
Trevelyan: "Ok James I'm sorry, I've learned my lesson, take me in."
Bond: "I can't... you're played by Sean Bean in this movie"
...5:14
In all seriousness though, Bond said earlier "I trusted you Alec" Bond trusts very VERY few people in life and Alec Trevelyan was one of those few... that's how much 006 meant to him! This is and always will be my favourite Bond movie. 👌
Goldeneye is number #3
@@tripi7906 What's 1 and 2??
I’m sorry, but Boris’ screaming after Bond drops Alec cracked me up.😆
Was so fascinated by this telescope after seeing this ad a kid. So sad to learn now it’s gone.
Everytime I watch this scene, I always get a flashback of playing the Nintendo 64 game of GoldenEye
Childhood memories watching this. Epic!
man pierce was just the best… I grew up with him as the bond of my childhood & loved all his films, here in particular I always thought the fight was quite brutal for a bond film & pierce may have actually been losing the fight… just such good drama all round & a memorable film
One of the best brutal Bond fights ever
must have watched this movie a million times, never gets old
