    Edit
    • 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.

    Terribly Underrated
    The World Is Not Enough is ranked as one of the weakest of any of the Bond films, but it does have many positives. The action is very strong in this one, like the caviar factory and the ski chase. Pierce Brosnan is joined by two very good actors to be the villains, and are some of the vest in the franchise. The locations are good, and it gives the films a different dimension, particularly in terms of the role of M. It is badly underrated, and is a great film, but just has some issues in the actual story.
