Storyline

- TriviaFor the fight scene in the bicycle shop, the producers had to call in Jackie Chan's stunt team because none of the stuntmen wanted to do the scene with Michelle Yeoh due to her full contact stunt fighting style, which she perfected in Hong Kong action films.
- GoofsWhen Bond makes a HALO (High Altitude, Low Open) parachute jump, the Jumpmaster warns him that he needs to be on oxygen because he will be falling for five miles and will suffocate without it. So the aircraft is at well over 24,600 feet in altitude, with its main cargo door wide open. Everyone in the cargo bay would have needed to be wearing an oxygen mask for the entire sequence, not just Bond when he finally jumps.

Featured review
James Bond (Pierce Brosnan) heads to stop a media mogul's plan to induce war between China and the UK in order to obtain exclusive global media coverage.
The Bond films are both hit and miss as well as an acquired taste. And each time there is a new Bond, people readjust and some people just will not move on. Personally, I think Brosnan was a great Bond, and I actually think this is one of the best films in the series, contrary to popular opinion.
Much of the series is either about Soviet issues or post-Soviet issues. This one, however, is about global media dominance. Now 20 years old, it seems more appropriate than ever with its satellites and cell phones. This movie could have been made today with only the most minor of adjustments.
