Pierce Brosnan, Teri Hatcher, Jonathan Pryce, and Michelle Yeoh in Tomorrow Never Dies (1997)

If the wait for 'No Time to Die' feels endless, we have three titles to make the time go by, including a heist film where Daniel Craig delivers both the action and delightful puns, a classic Bond title where the women don't pull any punches, and a trippy miniseries from 'No Time to Die' director Cary Joji Fukunaga.

Trivia
For 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.

Goofs
Helicopters are physically incapable of hovering in place with their rotors tilted forward, as indicated during the motorcycle chase. Also, we see the rotor hitting objects when in this position. Helicopter rotors are fragile. With those impacts, the rotors would fail and the helicopter would crash.

Quotes
Elliot Carver: The distance between insanity and genius is measured only by success.

Crazy credits
James Bond will return.

Alternate versions
The film received cuts for the MPAA and heavier cuts for the BBFC. Some of these are missing from the so-called "Uncut" Ultimate Edition DVD released in 2006.

Another great piers bond

Good first scene in the base explosions etc.

Piers witty as always and effortless.

Stamper is a very good baddie.

Carver is very annoying.

Great film for Q - Car loads of gadgets and can drive itself.

Iconic motorbike scene with helicopter and Wai Lin.

It was a good finish and the film didnt really drag as some bonds have.
