GOLDENEYE | Bond meets Q

Bond gets briefed by Q in GOLDENEYE (1995). Desmond Llewellyn, who played Q, got a surprise he wasn’t expecting when they started filming this scene: “A girl is sitting at the desk and suddenly she is ejected. Nobody had told me anything about this beforehand and I had a hell of a shock. I was trying to remember my lines and suddenly there was a whoosh and this girl disappeared from the scene.”

I really do love how this Q lasted from Connery to Brosnan. The one character that holds the series together in 5 different decades.

The “writing’s on the wall” gag definitely has the air of ‘this is the 50th take we’ve done and we cannot get them to stop cracking up’

[a.cretr]

I love how there’s big explosions and people flying across the room and no one could care in the slightest, like this is just another day at the office.

[FuelAirSparkTime]

I think this has to be the best interaction between Q and Bond in the entire franchise. You can tell they are both on the verge of cracking the shits laughing the whole time it's so endearing.

At 1:10 you can spot Desmond looking at cue cards. But it’s understandable considering his age, he was in his 80:s here. A legend.

I think Desmond Llewelyn with his incomparable charisma was the most faithful actor in the 007 series.

“Many may be Bond, but 'Q' is just one. I lost a great friend today”

"You have a license to kill, not to disobey the traffic laws!"

*Bond proceeds to drive a tank through a city causing massive damage*

I love how there's all this random crazy shit lying around so James automatically thinks something as benign as a sandwich is a gadget LOL

[Indy_]

0:28 the reflex of the tech guy to take immediatly what Bond has taken, out of his hand like he knows Bond would mess it up. 😄😄
This scene overall is classic comedy gold.

[lukesams]

These two banter with each other like old friends, it’s beautiful

[dominicrusho]

Brosnan’s hair is superb in this movie

[FortunateJuice]

"Were you expecting an exploding pen? We don't really go in for that anymore."

[franklesher]

Q definitely has a great sense of humour. Desmond Llewellyn was amazing as the inventive character in this franchise.

"Remember, 007, that you have license to kill, not license to break the traffic laws"

[BraeburnTV]

I love how Q’s rocket completely missed the sandbags and took out the chairs in the break area.

[sirpizo]

I like how quick Bond's attention goes from ejector seat to the sandwich 2:26

[sgtdanny]

Whenever you hear “pay attention 007” you know it’s gonna be hilariously good.

"How long did you say the fuse was?"
"Oh grow u-" BOOM

[PoshBenjamin]

You can tell at 1:15 that Desmond Llewelyn is reading his lines off cue cards held behind Pierce Brosnan's head, he keeps shifting his gaze from left to right

[mattjcwig]

I love how desmond pretty much couldn't contain his laughter at "the writings on the wall" 😂

[dyveira]

The best line is the opener, when he points at the cast on Q's leg.

"Skiing?"
"Hunting!"
