Maintitle and second gunbarrel. (Nice that CR try to mix barrel at the start of the maintitle, but GE this at the end. I also like it that take Tina Turner for title song, it have special feeling as Tom Jones did one. Only shame is that not asking George Michael for doing QOS.)
9 years later aka Aston Martin /Firari chase
Hidden Satelite.
Satelite fight with 006. Who conclussion of Alec death get a reference in Casino Royale maintitle (as happend also with room fight of Tomorrow Never Dies who followed after it and i see as symbol Bond fight him trow the years.)
Show me the rose aka meeting Jack Wade.
Meeting Valentine (and his cat) and reference to discribe James Bond (Shaken But not the stirred) and that he loves it that M is woman.
Taken the helicopter
Natalya need a lot of PC's.
Natalya and Bond on the beach / at Beach house
Michael G Wilson and waiting on Ouromov
Return of Alec
Libery scene Part 1: Boys with Toys (Bond and Natalya are taken)
Libery Scene Part 2: Escape Plan (Bond and Natalya try to escape and then she is taken and Bond escape from a window.)
Tank Chase

Scene that Bond discover Natalya and we see her with the dogs.
Meeting Q (and his lunch)
Nerves Boris playing with Q Pen.
End credit Text over movie footage (Whyle it only be for a short time. This was also last time this happend and if you ask me Bond 26 re-introducing this.)
RIP Peter Lamont (Production designer. Died in 2020), Derek Meddings (Production designer of Satelite, Goldeneye activated Explosion from outside. Died in December 1995.) Michael France (First writer died in 2013).
.....eh!..thats it!!!!
:-/ Whaaat? You don't even like the bungee jump? Or Ourumov? The Q scene? Or the end fight? It's one of the best fights of the series for me.
I agree that the title sequence is a highlight, too. Probably my favourite Bond title sequence (sorry Maurice Binder). The girls in highheels with hammers are very memorable. And the song itself is also great.
@M_Balje Nice list and intersting thought. Which link do you see between the fight in GE and the TND fight in Hamburg?
No apologies necessary! Binder paved the way (DN, TB, YOLT, TSWLM, AVTAK being highlights), but Kleinman is in another league entirely. I don't think it's controversial to enjoy his title sequences more. If I were to make a Top 10, six of Kleinman's seven would be on that list.
In answer to your four suggestions..
Its ok
He started off fine and then they turned him into a buffoon
No, HATE that Q scene
And nope, that fight scene doesn't do anything for me!
Actualy you see Bond fight with first one guy and then two others guy started at 1.11-1.18 and 1.23 - 1.31
Together indeed you can say: Are Bond going to lose another friend trow years. The fight as symbol of fighting him self trow out years. If you whant you see ''friend'' as symbol to him self. Taken element from Tomorrow Never Dies is good choose because i think DC repeat history/ie. Only this time not everthing is seen or said, or said to much like location cards in QOS (the other way around happend in SF with Turkey and Mexico & Italy in SP).
QOS plot not going about revenge on Vesper, but how Bond must deal with his los and i need QOS to understand Mathis get Burn Notice for his own safety.
When Daniel Craig era is over i hope symbol / analyziny is over exept that country symbol and langue speaking wil stay. Intresting way to changle people and tell something about culture and things country share or not share.
They are surely related.
Goldeneye is best James Bond film for me. Mr. Pierce Brosnan is the very best James Bond. Best moment for me being
Diving from cliff with elastic
Riding of cliff with motorcycle to catching aeroplane. Crazy yes.
James Bond and woman M. Woman tell James Bond his jobs now. Haha. So good.
James Bond and Natalia in building of Russia army. Good action.
Tank on street of Russia. This crazy again.
James Bond and bad man fight to death.
Can we say all the movie is good? Best James Bond for me.
Another wonderful post from @Some_Kind_Of_Hero which I would sign 100%.
Why do I love GE that much? The PTS is absolutely amazing, on par with the one from TLD. The villains are crazy and all great, so are Mishkin and Zukovsky. I love the Q scene, I always enjoy Dench...to sum it up: I'm a huge fan of the GE cast and characters. The score gives it (mostly) a great atmosphere and I always loved the music when Bond escapes from Ourumov (before the fantastic tanker chase starts).
And the satellite is a great set and the end fight superbe. Ans so on...
1. Bond shoots the gas tanks, and escapes the Arkangelsk facility on a Cagiva
2. Ourumov and Onatopp fire the GoldenEye weapon at Severnaya
3. Bond ejects the Tiger helicopter cockpit, just to get a kick in the shin
4. Trevelyan's soviet missile train HQ with helicopter
5. reveal of the satellite dish hidden under the lake
Honourable mentions:
dam bungee jump
DB5 chase in Monaco
Bond tracks Onatopp from the Fort Antoine theatre
Q scene
visiting Zukovsky
archive shootout
tank chase
everything else!
1. PTS (great music too!)
2. Sattelite dish climax
3. Monaco
4. Title sequence (my favourite)
5. Whispering Statues
The reveal of the satellite is cool. I also always enjoy the moment when Bond and Natalya are sliding down the emptied “lake“ and the tense moment where Boris is pushing the explosive pen.
And as mentioned before: the middle section, beginning with the statues (reveal of 006 as baddie) up to the moment where the train explodes is perfect (imo).
@GoldenGun Do you mean the end fight by listing “satellite dish climax“ or also scenes before?
