James Bond (Pierce Brosnan) is back. An oil tycoon is murdered in MI6, and Bond is sent to protect his daughter. Renard (Robert Carlyle), who has a bullet lodged in his brain from a previous Agent, is secretly planning the destruction of a pipeline. Bond gains a hand from research scientist Dr. Christmas Jones (Denise Richards), who witnesses the action which happens when Bond meets up with Renard, but Bond becomes suspicious about Elektra King (Sophie Marceau), especially when Bond's boss, M (Dame Judi Dench) goes missing. Bond must work quickly to prevent Renard from destroying Europe. —simon

Trivia
When the real MI6 learned that this movie would shoot a scene around their Headquarters, they moved to prohibit it, citing a security risk. However, Foreign Secretary Robin Cook, at the urging of Member of Parliament Janet Anderson, moved to overrule them and allow the shoot, stating, "After all Bond has done for Britain, it was the least we could do for Bond."

Goofs
When Bond slices the parachute with his skis, not only is the damage in the wrong place and the wrong size in the next cut, but there is no reason for the engine to be sputtering once the parachute is damaged - it was not hit.

Quotes
Elektra King: You're determined to protect me.
James Bond: From yourself. You don't have to do this.
Elektra King: There's no point in living if you can't feel alive.

Crazy credits
The opening credits don't begin until approximately 15 minutes into the movie -- the longest delay in the series to date.

Alternate versions
Press screenings ran at ca. 160 minutes. For general release the film was later cut down to 128 minutes.

Just a Bloody Good James Bond Film

This is a very good James Bond film, which are not meant to be taken too seriously. Lots of action and two very attractive Bond girls. Reasonable story line, which was very prescient in 1999.
