Makes sense though to get such a visceral fight scene with so much destruction it must've taken a lot of takes to maintain continuity in order to make it feel genuine. There's a lot going on in a short time here.
Imagine if this is where they put the barrel roll scene (and the scene was better edited). It is quite evident the stuntmen did great work here. Craig too.
everyone's talking about the editing but can we take the time to appreciate 4:31 for being such an iconic moment? one of my all time favorite kills by bond
Nah you guys can’t be serious… are we really going to ignore the long shot at 1:54 of the grandma mourning her tomatoes? Amidst all the choppy action, that shot punctuates with a looong emotional note.
Look, I appreciate the fact that action scenes now have to involve multiple cameras and rapid editing. Like really rapid editing to enhance the kinetic quality of the scene. But this is an example of pushing the envelope beyond comprehension. If you can't easily, and I mean easily, follow the action then its just a bunch of noise. And yes, its a bravura ending to the scene with Bond shooting upward to kill the dude.
@@stolenname94 No it is not. The problem with The Quantum of Solace is that the movie is an action packed from start to finish which shouldn't have supposed to be. Bond is not car chases, fist fights and gunshots only. It is a spy story. It also explains why Black Widow failed and worse than The Red Sparrow which was not even a great movie itself.
I believe this cutting style was actually part of the Director's vision. Whether the Editor actually agreed with this vision or not, he was essentially hired to follow a brief.
Man, some of the stuntwork in this scene is just insane. I can't believe Daniel Craig did that jump from the rooftop to the balcony (the one where he slams into the wall) himself.
The quick cuts didn't work for this scene, but really worked for the Tosca scene imo. Think it's just too frantic here whereas for that scene it feels more like an artistic choice that fits.
That’s true. But the Bourne Ultimatum was so popular the year before this came out that they decided to make a James Bond film Bourne Style…and it didn’t work. Luckily, Skyfall was much better….even Spectre was better. Quantum is by no means the worst Bond film. It’s a unique film, but it’s also a huge disappointment.
I always enjoyed the end of this scene. The fight on the scaffolding is so fun, and that final shot using the rope to steady himself and shoot up at the camera is cold.
My biggest complaint with Quantum of Solace is how short it is, especially coming on the heels of the longest Bond movie theretofore. It probably has my favorite David Arnold Bond score, I love the way the movie ends ("I never left."), and I almost wish the opening titles had come after Bond shot Mitchell hanging upside down.
I never understand the trick of how they filmed that scene with the big horse race event, because I got feeling that it was a real event and they somehow corporate it into the movie.
@@AndersonSilva-zl5tl Honestly I thought I was the only one. A lot of people made so much fun out of me for that. But it never bothered me though. As long as I enjoyed the movie.
The fast editing in OHMSS makes sense - it brings dynamic to Lazenbys fantastic Bond portrayal. The fast editing in QOS brings headaches and is absolute nonsense ...
Mitchell was my favourite character of the film, he was great. I emailed to see if they had a Pop! figurine of him and they said they didn't. I asked why. They said he wasn't 'popular' enough... I immediately responded by saying he was the best part of one of the best Bond films, and that I'd like a figurine of him to add to my collection. They responded, this time in a wordier fashion, that Mitchell simply wouldn't sell as he wasn't in demand. I was sickened. I was appalled. I refuse to accept this. Theyve done Mitchell dirty. Not popular to them, sure. OK. But Mitchell has a very large cult following out there unbeknownst to the clueless Pop figure employees. It was time to take matters into my own hands. After a bit of impressive sleuthing, I successfully compiled a list of all employees at the company. And one by one I began a quest of... err, 'correction'. Ok, in broader terms it's torture and intimidation through various means. TLDR; the Mitchell pop figure is currently in development ☺️🙏
Never in the history of film making has such a memorable film been followed by such a forgettable film. Gun to my head I couldn't tell you the plot or the locations used in Quantum of Solace.
Everyone’s dissing the editing but before I read the comments I thought the scene gave off a hectic and chaotic vibe making it nerve wracking to watch which I’d assume is what the director was going for
I had no problem following the editing in this scene. They introduced the rodeo, cut to the interrogation of Mr. White, and eventually Bond chases Mitchell into the rodeo. You see the glass teetering; Bond leaps out of the way. What's confusing?
I don’t understand how this bit can be cut to shit and awful to follow but the apartment fight later in the movie is probably the best hand to hand combat scene in any bond film. Weird. th-cam.com/video/z7kFoR4m1Y0/w-d-xo.html
Given this film’s insanely-compressed editing schedule, I bet a simpler scene like that got sufficient time for polish. Just imagine the absurd amount of coverage they’d have for a scene this complex. The fight at the end, especially.
Why did Bond chase after Mitchell? Any Operative worth his salt would realise Mr White is too valuable a commodity to leave alone; no matter what his physical state.
Is pretty muck... however what is the point of pursuing Mitchell when the head of the agency and valuable intelligence asset are prone and injured? Surely their welfare is of much more import than chasing the assailant?
Somebody lands with a big _thump_ on the top of the bus and the driver actually stops instead of the usual continuing on their route like nothing happened.
Honestly, too each is own, cause I actually loved this movie, I mean I just like the whole 007 Daniel Craig collection, no time to die was enjoyable (except Lashawna Lynch’s character lol)
Personally I think, that a scene where bond grabs his gun and shot mitchell could have worked as a Gunbarrel sequence, Just like Gunbarrel sequence in Casino royale.
The opening car chase scene and foot chase scene are so damn great. I like this sequel but the editing in the action scenes were not good. The song title in this one was bad too but however I enjoy to watch this one over No Time To Die. Only makes me like this sequel was the emotional in Bond character and revenge story.
Oh man. Thank goodness this trend of overly frantic editing and superficial use of handheld cameras has pretty much passed now. Action needs to be seen clearly enough for the audience to actually enjoy and appreciate it. Casino Royale was so much better in how the action was shot and cut.
How many cuts do you want in this chase scene?
Director: “Yes.”
I thought clever people had moved on from these shitty comments now 😂
@@beanbag9696 if it fits... it fits
How many shaky cams do you want?
Director: _y e s_
Too many cuts yes, but i'll be damned if that wasn't a fantastic ending to the scene with Bond upside down and shooting towards the camera.
Agreed

The cameraman has no time to die. That's ok

The shot at 3:21 also deserves special mention IMO.

In these scenes the editing works, but not in scenes like the briefing with tanner and M in the MI6 headquarters

Is there a director’s cut version with less cuts?
It's probably just the regular cut with an extra cut thrown in by the director.
Cutless director. I will watch that!

Villain : is over bond, I got the high ground.
Bond : But I see you first by down view.
The cuts add to the frantic and chaotic chase/fight. If this was a one on one fist fight then I’m sure it would have been filmed differently.
I never understand the trick of how they filmed that scene with the big horse race event, because I got feeling that it was a real event and they somehow corporate it into the movie.
The Palio di Siena
I think it is more realistic because nobody know how many people protect us under the shadow just like in the horse race(even if somebody is killed)
Their second unit filmed the real Paleo horse race for the movie.
Everyone says QoS is bad but I actually like it better than the ones that came after.
Still my best Bond movie ever.

I think it was in vogue at the time and they overdid it to try to keep up with the quick cut Bourne Ultimatum
Very lazy way to make a movie. Batman Begins had it as well in the fight scene.
This is my favorite Bond movie of them all.
The concept of the sequence is good, the editing is a pain.
4:31...iconic shot, dont need to see the other guy, we know Bond got it on target!
I love all Craigs Bond movies
the next day scaffolding crew like wtf
and the dead body of mitchell still lying over there with a gun beside him

It helps erase the memory of Spectre.

Never been so frustrated with a Bond movie. Quantum of Solace is exhausting to watch.

A great piece of film. A cone by the open man hole cover to prevent accidental injury of the crowd would have been nice.
Wg
Craig will always kick Arse as the most Realistic 007 Bond Period !
i'm not even gonna begin to imagine how they choreographed all that
Seriously. That rope right has got to be one of the craziest fight scenes I’ve ever seen. Truly outstanding production work.
For a movie with no completed script and made up on the fly, it's pretty good.
4:32 AMAZING SHOOT
This one should be the part of the opening scene with the Gunbarrel
I wish the final showdown used less cgi like Casino Royale. I also wish the 007 opening down the gun barrel happened at the end.
A really stunning location with all the labyrinths, stairways, and balconies. Shame your eyes will not have time to focus before the next shot.
Love this Bond film. I don't get the hate it receives.
Sloppy directing and camera work. Worst part about this movie, the action would've been much better without it trying to be like the Bourne movies.
This cuts more like Jason bourne syle
Everyone’s dissing the editing but before I read the comments I thought the scene gave off a hectic and chaotic vibe making it nerve wracking to watch which I’d assume is what the director was going for
Agreed. Just a pity that the majority people just gave up trying to follow the action beats and just watched it as a kind of montage of kinetics.
I had no problem following the editing in this scene. They introduced the rodeo, cut to the interrogation of Mr. White, and eventually Bond chases Mitchell into the rodeo. You see the glass teetering; Bond leaps out of the way. What's confusing?
Both are like Superman. Ridiculous!
I heard this movie was actually a Guinness World record attempt for having the most number extras who last only about a single frame
Bond first looked to see if M was okay, he likes her!
Absolutely, he is her man
I don’t understand how this bit can be cut to shit and awful to follow but the apartment fight later in the movie is probably the best hand to hand combat scene in any bond film. Weird.

who would have thought Mitchell would be a Double Agent? how does someone like that pass full security checks and lie detector tests every year?
Why did Bond chase after Mitchell?
Any Operative worth his salt would realise Mr White is too valuable a commodity to leave alone; no matter what his physical state.
Spiderman: am I a joke to you?
I love this director's cut version
The cuts reminded me of current WWE editing. It was jarring.
its weird because the action scenes in this movie are all really creative and intense, but it's just ruined by the bourne-type shaky cam
Is pretty muck... however what is the point of pursuing Mitchell when the head of the agency and valuable intelligence asset are prone and injured? Surely their welfare is of much more import than chasing the assailant?
I don’t understand the hate for this movie
This was such a weird Bond movie. But I can agree this whole scene was sick.
Kind of sad how we went from Bourne being a wannabe US Bond to Bond being a wannabe UK Bourne
Good thing Bond sometimes has an upper limit of civilian casualties, because I totally forgot about the potshot one of them takes here.
It's probably sentiment from childhood but tbh I really like this movie
The shame is that in terms of the plot, or at least the story overall, QoS is the most realistic and believeble bond movie ever.
The plot sucks because it was shot during the writer strike and they were figuring things out as they were shooting because they couldn't hire one.
Mr.white is the one who needs solace in this movie.

How'd they botch this chase scene so badly?
They set the bar for on-foot chases in the previous movie, for goodness' sake.
A lot of these scenes appear to come out of video games, chartered and assassins creed... I've seen this in other movies too.
Oh man. Thank goodness this trend of overly frantic editing and superficial use of handheld cameras has pretty much passed now. Action needs to be seen clearly enough for the audience to actually enjoy and appreciate it. Casino Royale was so much better in how the action was shot and cut.
Friendly reminder he could have just killed Bond right at the start when he picked up the pistol... instead he decided to give us a chase sequence.

I'm not gonna lie but so many cut away made me feel dizzy
