    • 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

      James Bond: You're not retiring anytime soon - are you?

      Q: Now, pay attention 007. I've always tried to teach you two things. First, never let them see you bleed.

      James Bond: And the second?

      Q: Always have an escape plan.

    • 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.

    There's no point in living if you can't feel alive.
    'The World is Not Enough' fixes many issues with the previous entry in the franchise 'Tomorrow Never Dies'. The prior film was criticized for having goofy villains and a silly story. 'The World is Not Enough' re-aligns the franchise by bringing back better villains, a more interesting story, and adding much more substance to the characters. The film throws a few curve balls and misdirections at the audience as well, so you'll be kept on your toes. All of the actors put on a great performance, with the exception of Denise Richards. She plays Dr. Christmas Jones and she is not believable in the slightest as a nuclear scientist. But she's such a gorgeous bombshell I can overlook her crappy acting. M is also much more involved in the plot, which is quite welcome because she really dominates her scenes. Overall I enjoyed 'The World Is Not Enough', it's much better than the prior Bond film, but still not quite as good as 'Goldeneye'.
