Starring: Pierce Brosnan, John Cleese, Halle Berry, Judi Dench, Rosamund Pike, Toby Stephens, Colin Salmon, Rick Yune

Genres: Action, Adventure, Bond, Thriller

Trivia: This is Pierce Brosnan's least favourite Bond movie of the four in which he appeared. Brosnan disliked the over-the-top special effects and gadgets, and suggested to the producers that the follow-up should be dark and gritty. After Brosnan left, the series was indeed given a grittier reboot.

Trivia: Miranda Frost confronts Bond by saying, "I know all about you, 007. It's sex for dinner and death for breakfast." Death for Breakfast is the title of Chapter 11 in the novel "On Her Majesty's Secret Service".

Trivia: Michael Apted, director of the previous film, was going to direct this film, but the studio had a change in management, who fired him. After being unable to secure the directors they hoped to get, they went back to Apted but unfortunately he had become unavailable.

Mistakes

Plot hole: In the pre-title sequence, James Bond travels in a hovercraft along the dirt road, which is full of landmines. Soon after reaching the waterfall at the end, trucks drive up along the road he just drove in on to capture him. As there was only one road into the waterfall complex, the landmines must have all disappeared, as earlier on in that sequence, we are informed that the only way that the North Koreans can avoid the mines along that road is by hovercraft.

Shay

Chosen answer: Frost is proud of her martial skills and Sun Tzu's Art of War is considered to be one of the classic texts on warfare, but that's about as far as it goes.
