THE WORLD IS NOT ENOUGH | Ski chase

There’s going off-piste and then there’s going off-piste 007 style. This sequence from THE WORLD IS NOT ENOUGH (1999) was filmed in Chamonix, France.
To test the special winterised cameras they were left in the British Airways refrigerator at Heathrow over night to make sure they ran and that the batteries were up to speed. Filming wrapped, five and a half days over schedule, due to heavy snow, overcast skies, diesel freezing in the trucks, and stopping for avalanche warnings.

Happy Birthday Pierce Brosnan! 67 years young today! What a great Bond you were!

I love Brosnan’s Bond movies. They aren’t about sullen, emo Bond, they are pure escapist fun with beautiful locations, interesting scenarios, cool weapons, and Bond saving the day. And there is the occasional serious scene between e.g. M and Bond thrown in to keep things grounded

The music when they are skiing is absolutely phenomenal!

Man this Bond Film Is Criminally Underrated as the Action sequences are some of the best and most memorable in the franchise Especially the iconic Boat Chase to open the movie

Bond should have realized that these guys weren't really aiming at Elektra. This chase is awesome.

When you think about it, Elektra is a great actress. She pretended to be afraid while she certainly knew what was going on.

RIP Michael Apted. Thanks for this awesome movie.

Sophie Marceau was one of the most beautiful James Bond girls.

Roger Moore’s Bond would have made love to Elektra in that safety cocoon.

Gotta love the old "rip through the parachute to make the engine misfire" trick.

Dude this film and Tomorrow never dies are my two favorite Bond films. I love other ones but these two are my favorite. Brosnan was James when I was growing up so his films were actually the first Bond film I saw ever in theaters. It was Tomorrow Never Dies. Ever since then I’ve loved these films. Plus the N64 Goldeneye helped a lot too for Brosnan. Everybody forgets Tomorrow Never Dies

[geisterjagersuko]

The story is absolutely great. My favourite Bond movie.

[utsav]

Brosnan was hands down the most good-looking and charming Bond.

4:49, i love this scene. Bond just outskiid a snowmobile and cut the parachute while surviving a cliff jump, the assailants are about to crash and hes just FIDDLING WITH HIS GLOVES

[HS_Gomikubi]

I had this pointed out to me (shoutouts to loadingreadyrun) but at 3:50 he drops this suave quip because he assumed he'd already got that guy dead to rights, but then the second parachute deploys and his smirk vanishes instantly. Nobody was in earshot to pick up on the fact that he delivered that one-liner prematurely, but you still get the sense he's just as disappointed at the ruined comedic moment as he is at the fact that he now has to come up with another way to take the guy down.

[gameroftheyear]

Idk why but Pierce’s face change at 3:55 just cracks me up every time I see it 😂

[maxreimann]

These shots were way more impressive in a time before tiny drones

[flybeep]

Imagine how much more effective a helicopter would've been instead of these clumsy explosive ski buggies lol.

The mime's daughter was a very beautiful lady and a great actress in this. I like the chase and Pierce Brosnan as Bond. All the Bond movies he did were great. Thanx for posting this.

They look soo cute together ^^

Too bad Elektra is rotten inside like hell.
