- Bond identifies members of Quantum watching the performance of Tosca in QUANTUM OF SOLACE (2008). The scene was filmed in Bregenz, Austria at the largest outdoor auditorium in Europe, on the shores of Lake Constance.

Mr White is such a boss. Doesn’t even flinch. Everyone panics and runs, exposing their faces. He chills and enjoys the show.
He knows the game. He knows Bond wants them to panic so they will expose themselves. So instead of play his game, he pockets his earpiece and pretends nothing is wrong.
From another point of view, he protects his daughter from any reprisals coming from Ernst Stavro Blofeld.
That’s because they (SPECTRE) has eyes everywhere as Mr. White mentioned earlier in the film as he was being interrogated by MI6
That's because Tosca isn't for everyone.
@@martinanaya388”we have people everywhere”
I'd be so annoyed if I was at the opera and some idiot sitting next to me was mumbling plans of world domination. So inconsiderate.
That’s the actual reason that Bond wanted to give his opinion.
😄
So uncivilized
lmao no seriously.
I would be annoyed if I was at the Opera.
And so begins the story of the time I got up to go to the boy's room during Tosca and ended up on MI6's watch list.
Relax, you made that list MUCH earlier in your life. ;)
Great comment!😂👌
This deserves at least 1K likes.
You shouldn’t have had the oysters at that fancy restaurant before the opera.
If you get up during that aria, you belong on MI6's watch list
1:21 And that's why Mr. White was such a good character. Rather than getting flustered and walking out like everyone else, he just takes his earpiece off and keeps still. He was such a good bad guy (so much better than Mr. Greene), I wish they had given him a better ending than radiation poisoning in Spectre.
His character did have an important role in Spectre, even though the rest of the film was pretty bad.
bro didn't Mr. White die in casino royale especially at the end of the scene when Bond shot him in the leg?
@@bryanho8938 You didn't see the beginning of Quantum Of Solace, did you? It continues after the end of Casino Royale. Bond had stuffed him in the trunk of his car, was chased by Mr. White's men and brought him to M for questioning. Mr. White then escaped with the help of a double-agent also in the room. This scene is the next time we see him.
@@Sledgeh101 oh yeah now that you mentioned it, that did happen and Mr white is indeed alive. Thanks for the clarification, totally forgot the intro lol
@@bryanho8938 lol
This is one of the best, most stylish, Bond scenes ever, in an undercooked but also under appreciated film. Flawed, sure, but massively underrated.
Absolutely not. They totally destroyed this scene in the editing room.
I disagree, for me it look cool
As good scene in a rubbish film
I don't exactly agree but i respect you
My fav bond film
Bond: "So who are you working for?"
Agent: "Piss off."
One day they will find this mysterious "Piss Off" organization.
Piss Off is on a higher level than spectre...
It's the Pissov Organization based somewhere in Siberia
@@stillcovalent haha
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! you are so witty, man.
@@Mayanne0502 There was once a British Operation called PISS. The Phoenix Islands Settlement Scheme in 1937. It ran until the early 1960's when it was abandoned.
"The CIA does not care about another dictator as long as they get their end". The most accurate phrase said in the movie!
" As long as they get their end."
I am working on that
I'm pretty sure he said "end" not "hand"
As long as shit doesn't land on their own soil, they don't care about anything outside their walls
The main reason JFK was killed
For those who haven't seen the movie, Bond spends the rest of the movie trying to find and kill Agent Pissoff
Why would someone who hasnt seen it watch clips
@@matthewdavidjarvis6039 People who experience movies through clips instead of actually watching the film are idiots
@@matthewdavidjarvis6039 But it's absolutely correct. It indicates someone with the attention span of a goldfish who fundamentally misunderstands films beyond the most surface level aesthetics.
@@matthewdavidjarvis6039 Don't be dumb
1. I was never referring to you, nor what you do specifically. Learn to read.
2. Stop shifting the goalpost. Enjoying content that is of different lengths is distinct from taking something that's made as a unit and chopping it up and experiencing a few pieces.
I love how the tuxedo Craig's wearing is nearly identical to the one Connery wore in Dr. No.
Tom Ford 🍸
Before they gave him those awfully-looking slim-fit clothes.
@@lukasnummer1 whats wrong with slim fit? Thats how most custom tailored suits are designed to fit. If you want loose fitting wrinkly clothes i can point you to 1990s era fashion or the 1970s
@@Opticillusion160 slim fit skimps out on material and doesn't show off a person's shape in a flattering manner. Connery's suits were designed to have plenty of drape at the front so that they looked more elegant and so that also he could hide his weapon more convincingly. You don't need to have a 'wrinkly' suit, it's just better to have one that fits properly
@@ebf5026 it does... if you’re thin lol thats the point of slim fit. The problem is guys who do not have the build for slim fit trying to hop on the style bandwagon. There are great slim fit suits that are just as classy and well constructed that rival a more traditional classic fit suit
I love how Mr White just keeps his cool and continues to just sit there. Fantastic character, and a fantastic actor.
Possibly my favourite scene of all of bond. Encapsulates what I like about the character of bond, he's one man willing to take on a whole organisation single handedly. What a badass.
The crazy look in Dominic Greene's eyes, when he saw Bond.
This movie is a true sequel to Casino Royale 2006, and very underratted.
yes i too love not being able to tell what is going on because of lazy directing
In the sense that the Live and Let Die novel is a sequel to the Casino Royale novel, I wholeheartedly agree.
@@Thicc_Cheese_Dip
"Live And Let Die" is an awesome adventure novel, by Fleming.
It has a very great plot but unfortunately the fast editing and shaky camera make this very unwatchable for me, I’ve tried many times to give this film a chance but I just get a headache especially during this scene.
@@mohammadmostafa9215 very much so! Very fitting as a follow-up to the novel Casino Royale!
One of the best scenes of the movie
Not saying much haha
Maybe this scene and the beginning with the car chase.
It was beautifully shot and the music was amazing. This showed what the world is really like.
You mean the only good scene
@@Bluegreen123 maybe if we were talking the train scene in Spectre
This is in no way the best Bond movie, but it is definitely the most underappreciated.
RIP Paul Ritter, who i didn't even know was in this movie until I spotted him just now.
Hello Bambinos
@@KenFromBeara "Oh it's boiling!"
I've been watching all of Daniel Craig's Bond movies in a row, and I've got to say, this scene REALLY got me hooked into the movie.
Such a clever way to meet up and discuss plans about taking over one of the Earth's resources. Rather than the classic board room of villains sitting at a table.
I really loved the realism of QoS. If only the franchise had looked to this movie as the guide to their future: rather than laser beams and spaceships, this film captured the banality of actual power players. The villain of this film was not a deranged billionaire intent on seeing the world burn, but instead a calculated cabal of secondary world leaders. These people had enough power to be untouchable, but not so much that they were recognizable. Isn't it ironic that since 2008 the world has turned stranger than fiction, or at least stranger than this bond entry?
You know what, that’s a great point about crime being strange. It’s obvious that evil is afoot. Maybe that’s why the last few Bond films took a dive, it’s unrealistic to assume there’s a good guy agent out there fighting for us.
to the absolute tee
It’s about as close as you can get to saying something about the real world in the confines of a James Bond movie. Man, I wish this version of the series would have continued at least a few films more.
Too bad it's a terribly made film. Shit editing. Villian is a good actor but a shit character
@@genetenz I think it’s a great movie. Stunt work is straight out of the Bourne era of action flicks, a time when people did real movies with real stunts.
I absolutely love the way this scene is edited. So creative! Rather than being played out as just another chase scene, we literally go from a moment of silence as Bond escapes, to where suddenly the confrontation becomes an opera in itself.
Quantum is a better modern-day Spectre than the Spectre we actually got.
So much this. I was really not thrilled when they replaced it halfway through, would have much preferred to see the Quantum storyline continue to playout without trying to bring back literal-Blofeld and literal-SPECTRE.
Quantum is terrifying whereas Spectre is just goofy.
I hope they retcon Quantum back to being an independent crime organization once more, no longer being influenced with Blofeld's Spectre.
At least I had some fun with Spectre. QoS is just booooring!
@@victorfadel06 I agree, but Quantum itself wasn't the problem, the organisation didn't need to be shitcanned.
0:52 is my favorite line of the entire movie.
Haha Yes!
Oh the editing ... I thought only the writers went on strike that year.
I came looking for this comment, never realised how bad it was.
@@Kerleyyy I think about the incomprehensibility of this scene every time I see bad editing. I watched 'Aloha' a few years in theaters and couldn't place why it was so god-awfully bad, and poorly-edited, but the sensation I *did* recognize: It was the same feeling as watching the Opera scene in 'Quantum of Solace'. 13 years later, I've only seen it the one time in theaters and still remember how distract it was.
@@Kerleyyy educate me
What makes the editing bad?
@@williammitchell8256 Watch from 2:15 and educate yourself.
@@williammitchell8256 too make cuts and not enough shots showing the larger room
The editing, my god, the editing. So many jump cuts in that fight scene. Let me see what's going on!
The editing is way too frentic in the film - but ironically the style works for this scene
@@hugodrax71 Yeah everyone complains about the quick cuts in this movie and talks about this scene. It's an artistic choice that actually works quite well for this scene. I just wish they hadn't chosen this style for the rest of the action in the rest of the movie.
And yet this was plagued and undercooked :/
I wonder who were the interface designers behind the MI-6 system.
That thing is amazing and it still looks modern as hell even 12 years later.
A company called MK-12... they also did the opening titles for QOS
@@vismind13 Thank you sir!
MK-12 did all the motion graphics for this movie. The Blu-ray menu has the same theme (along with an incredible track from the movie's OST), it's really one of the coolest menus I've seen.
Same team also did Michael Apted's (director of this film) other movie Stranger than Fiction - RIP Michael Apted 2021 and also the graphic interfaces in GoldenEyE Wii
@@thenewsaint04 Sorry, but Michael Apted (R.I.P.) is not the director of this movie.
why is greens face always like "oh no, that last one wasnt just air"
Lol
I think their intent for his look was to make him look bug-eyed, so he maintains a wide-eyed look throughout the film. That might have been slightly enhanced digitally but I'm not 100% sure.
Lol
He looks like he has a thyroid problem.
@@shwalkingmeme485 I read that he based his performance on Nicolas Sarkozy and Tony Blair, and it kind of shows.
Loving more and more Quantum, some scenes such as the opening chase and this one are exceptional.
The opening chase is one of my favorite car scenes in this series.
@@victoracosta4796 The Alfa 159 sounds good!!!
They didn't learn from Casino Royale. Never touch your earpiece.
Put your hand down!!
Also don't stand up. Mr White got it right
I like that touch of Mr. White being the only guy here with the forethought to go "Hey hang on, if I get up that'll reveal my face as well as my voice."
Sure, Bond already knows Mr. White, so it's a moot point, but the other guys really dropped the ball here.
Why give Bond a chance to recapture him though?
He's the only true professional. The rest of the organization are idiots run by a megalomaniac with a vendetta against Bond that only exists in his head.
The other guys are senior management. White's still a field man (if a very high-ranking one). Makes sense that he'd still have the reflexes and thought processes that the others have long forgotten, if they ever knew them.
And the irony of it all, Bond passes by him on the Way out without noticing him.
Controversial opinion: This is my favorite bond. The villain is believable, the action scenes I found to be more gritty and realistic, and bond shows his more vulnerable side and for once doesn't get to bang the girl in the end. It was just the editing was weird at times.
James Bond is a fantasy world; it's never been about "gritty realism". Bond doesn't have to be like Roger Moore, but pretending like it's a serious spy thriller franchise is just silly. Bond is the longest-running, most successful franchise in history, and the secret of its success is, apparently, in the style and entertainment aspects of it, which this particular film lacks entirely. The direction is just awful. The action sequences are shot with shaky camera and very aggressive editing, that makes it impossible to see what's happening on screen. The makers of this movie should've studied Battleship Potemkin (1925) to learn a thing or two about shooting action and editing.
Countalma The James Bond novels were written darker like Casino Royale and didn’t have all the gadgets and Bond was similar to Dalton or Craig’s interpretations and even Connery’s
@@countalma9800 To each his own.
@@countalma9800 nope, unless you want the franchise to die, I'd suggest you change your view or don't watch it, because the franchise will evolve way past your life and you'll be sitting there whining how it should be the same or your time is the best.
Only morons didn't like this movie. Sorry but the Moore films were largely trash in comparison.
"Where do you think you're going?"
*Bond takes photos*
"Thank you"
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Best scene of that movie.
I think so too!
any dramatic scene becomes a thousand times more epic when there is an opera in the background
I disagree.It becomes annoying and disjointed
That's some impressive facial recognition software being able to get an identification of their face from the back of their heads.
🍷😆 I know and to think they call Roger Moore's Bond cheesy!!
Definitely could have made it abit more believable
Ah yes, that awful old movie trope. An unrecognisable blur, and then someone says, "ENHANCE. ENHANCE. ENHANCE." and suddenly it's zoomed in and pin-sharp.
With motion blur at that.
@@dwhughes1975
Why did that criticism remind me of ‘Blade Runner’?
To think Quantum was only a fraction of Spectre.
Makes sense for why its called Quantum then!
Oh how I wish it was just called spectre in this film
@@zia2540 Because then you're missing the point. Behind Mr. White and Le Chiffre is Quantum. Behind Quantum is SPECTRE. Behind SPECTRE is...
Why do you think the next movie has been delayed so much?
Where we go one, we go all.
@@DavidJBuchner Go to hell.
Spectre fucked it all up. Should’ve stuck with Quantum. They made a bitch out of Mr White. The only good thing about Spectre is the Bautista
This movie would have been outstanding if not for the writer's strike. Regardless, several great moments in it.
I thought this was a weak film, but then I saw no time to die which had such lazy writing
The writing isn't that bad, what let's this film down the most is the horrible editing.
@@Phil_Mitchell yeah you know what I kinda agree. I actually liked quantum for the most part but never really thought about the editing. Watching it again its clear as day it was a hot mess, it should never have left the production office in that state and if I was producing I wouldn't of paid my editor until it was done right. They would of had several shots of this one scene done numerous times over, and if they think these cuts were good enough... Well Jesus christ maybe we should have taken the hint things might get worse. I also wanna show some quick love to spectre, it had a great villain and a pretty good story more like a classic bond. It was alil stale though I'll admit and some scene had poor pay off from the build up. But it was still soo much better than no time to die.
@@stolenname94 What is it about No Time to Die that you dislike?
@@ryclemo4942 I think No Time To Die was to rushed. Daniel Craig were more "No Fucks Given" character.
Mr. White was the only one smart enough to not immediately stand up when he heard Bond's voice
I've seen this movie quite a few times and only just picked up on the line "Perhaps we should shift our focus to the Canadian" i.e. the bit at the end. No idea how I missed that before!
2:05 - 2:20
When you leave work 5 minutes early and come straight to the board meeting that has just ended 😄
An opera is such a “bond” location. It oozes the classy look of James Bond. And the music works SO WELL in this scene and with the character.
Mr. White was one of those villians that we all loved and hated at the same time.
The quantum meeting is the early precursor of zoom, webex online meeting 😆
Haha true !
James Bond Canada o
Well if you watched 24 they had Telepresence since early 2000's
Eh? Suddenly "Zoom" meetings are a new thing? Video conference calls have been around since the 80s and were very prevalent in the 90s. Even Elliott Carver is having one in Tomorrow Never Dies.
A D not me... that's what i typed, precursor. It might have been precursor earlier. If i'm a thick person dont know during that 80's era teleconferencing so rampant during that time as compared today... Chill 🥰
"so who are you working for?"
"piss off"
Viewing Craig Bond scenes here on YT while reading Comments is awesome. I'm learning so much of what nuances I missed, even though I've watched the movies many times over.
This sequence is the highlight of the movie.
So underated movie.
You can find here almost everything you need.
Especially this scene ,Mathies death scene, when they walked through the thirsty people or when M said "He is my agent and i trust him"
2:08 when you see your friend in another match after he said he was off for the night
Oh, bugger. That’s so me.
This movie is infinitely better once you have watched SPECTRE and realise that Quantum is just one of many sub-organisations. The plot, the characters, etc all now make much more sense.
The whole Quantum being part of SPECTRE thing wasn't as believable for me as it was supposed to. If they had actually put in hints in the other films to lead up to the whole Blofeld telling Bond "haha I've been the one behind everything that has happened to you" thing then it would have been more believable, but SPECTRE lost me with the 10 minute fight inside an out-of-control helicopter despite some cool scenes. It was filled with too way too many cliches to the point of film practically making fun of itself for it. QoS had too much frenetic editing for a Bond film, but I respect Marc Forster's effort to throw in tons of symbolism throughout, and the writing imo was better than SPECTRE despite being made during the writer's strike.
SPECTRE had the problem some horror bad guys do... they're so all-powerful and un-stoppable they aren't even believable in a fictional sense.
It’s infinitely better after watching Spectre because Spectre is the REAL piece of shit, and this one is WAY better
@@ethor38592 - Agreed, that's why Spectre was such an underwhelming film for me. If they actually bothered to so much as strongly hint how everything was connected from before, it would have been great - maybe even making things retroactively better after years. Instead we got some vague mentions and some fingerprints on Sciarra's ring
@@TheArcher101 Should've just left Spectre out and continued with Quantum. Quantum earned it. It's a terrifying concept.
2:08 underrated shot
Agreed. The shot from earlier in the evening, when Bond arrives at the opera, and is looking down from the balcony, is one of my iconic Bond shots. Bond only occupies a small portion of the screen, but dominates the frame.
2:11 lol
2:10
Greene be like: oh shi- it's James bond
i don't care what anyone says. i enjoyed this movie. one of the greater car chases too in the franchise.
1:31 - poor guy was just going up to change the lighting for the next act
Love that opera music with action.
yeah btw do you know name of song at 2:21
"This is the world's most precious resource."
Water.
Oh....this criminally underrated movie.
This scene, despite having some intentionally clunky editing shows how effective quantum is and how much they operate in the shadows.
Compare that to spectre. Despite being shot and edited and framed well....all bad guys gather in the most evilest of lairs possible and have the insanely stupid amount of security and...ugh.
I had no idea Paul Ritter played Guy Haines on Quantum of Solace. R.I.P.🌹🥀🌺🌷⚘
A very underrated Bond film.
It’s not my least favorite, but it’s not my favorite either. Even though i do find it underrated it’s not my first choice.
I prefer it to the Second half of Skyfall and all of Spectre.
Imagine what the fourth film would’ve been like if they actually stuck with Quantum. Would be better than Spectre
Aren't the people sitting next to the Quantum members wondering what the hell they are talking about?
“Ideally, 2000 kilometers”
For me it's the best scenes in the movie. The jump cut editing actually works for this scene
R.I.P PAUL RITTER
Does it get any better than this scene? Bravo!
One of my fav scenes of Daniel Craig’s tenure
Greatest Bond movie by far !!!!! The action can't simply be compared !!!!!!
Yeah, the action that we can’t see
Bond: “I’ve caught you all, Quantum”
Martin: “S#!t on it”
Bloody bambinos!
Great few minutes from an average Bond entry. One of my favourite Bond scenes actually, especially the climatic meeting on the stairs.
My favorite scene in Quantum of Solace.
If only bond realized how so close to mr white was in the opera when walking out in the stairs.
I wanna watch this video all day
In case anyone's wondering, this piece from "Tosca" is "Te Deum laudamus"
Thank you!
This movie was like the longest fragrance commercial ever produced. Whenever i need sleep, i put this bad boy on.
The blend of classical opera music during the gunfight paired so nicely. A nice juxtaposition. Was always a great scene in the movie. It's a shame Quantum of Solace wasn't as liked by the public. I love this movie, and in it's own way, has a great plot. One that really shapes the franchise.
This just oozes James Bond. Absolutely love this film and in top 10 favorite bond films for me
One of the most amazingly edited fights in the entire franchise!
RIP Paul Ritter
Just want to say it's a lovely modern production of Tosca!
2:10 😳
I honestly think this film is better than people think. If this was the only scene in the film, however, that was quickly edited I think it would've been much better because it could be justified as a contrast with the opera currently playing out.
This scene is gold
And - it must be brought to bare- Daniel Greig had every ounce of his physicality pushed to the limits . He was exponentially on point. Congratulations!
Very underrated movie. Gets too much hate.
So wonderful scene
Right !? 🍸
I JUST noticed that apart from Bolivia, the Quantum agents were also discussing the Canadian Intelligence agent that Bond saves at the end of the movie, the one who Vesper’s fake boyfriend was also trying to extract information out of.
Thumbnail is me when I realized I left my stove on at home while on a road trip. Great scene though, still gives me goosebumps as the kitchen chase began and the opera switched tones
1:10 “I’m the father, Martin Goodman”
Who's that?
CinemaGraphic he’s a character from the British sitcom Friday Night Dinner. Check it out, it’s hilarious
@@cjbranchett9733
The Actor?
CinemaGraphic the actor is called Paul Ritter
Cam Branchett You’re joking, Friday Night Dinner is wank. So glad it’s over
shortest and most violent Bond. Love it!
All Bond needs is a Phantom of the Opera mask and it's perfect.
When Greene sends his henchmen after him, Bond's face is like 'whelp shootout time'.
This scene and soundtrack was badass
Easily the best scene of the film. If only the rest of the movie was this good.
This bond and casino were Craig's best
Hasta siempre, Paul Ritter. Descanse en paz.
Ahora, debe marchar a ocupar su puesto, junto con los actores y actrices - y staff tras de cámaras - de la saga de 007 y que ya dejaron este mundo.
Hasta siempre 😔😪
The all seeing eye is plentiful!!!
Bond was and is the boldest one to expose what is now called SPECTRE.
In 2020 this would just a be a secure Zoom call.
A lot of people don't get this movie, it's basically the second half of Casino Royale
But worse.
@@sullivandmitry1416 well.... yeah
That was awesome
Hell of a good zoom lens on that camera
I like how the action abruptly ends with Bond threatening the guy (2:56)
Bond would be excellent at cinemasins.
who else remembers the audience applauding when he did that? put your hands together!
The thumbnail is hilarious. Who says Dominic Greene isn't memorable? 😂
2:10 When you don't go to your sports class and you see the teacher right after
Dam i shed a tear on this one
