CASINO ROYALE | Stairwell Fight - Daniel Craig, Eva Green | James Bond
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 26 ส.ค. 2020
- James Bond (Daniel Craig) and Vesper (Eva Green) are attacked by the machete-wielding Obanno (Isaach De Bankolé) in the stairwell of the Hotel Splendide in Montenegro in CASINO ROYALE. Obanno and his bodyguard also threaten Le Chiffre (Mads Mikkelsen) and Valenka (Ivana Miličević).
The fight took three days to film, with stunt coordinator Gary Powell stating that it was “quite a major scene as it covers such a vast area. Normally you’re in a room, you have a fight, whereas the stairwell covers six flights of stairs all the way down.”
Directed by Martin Campbell.

Eva Green was the perfect cast for Vesper. Elegant, strong minded but vulnerable all the same.
That in the end betrayed bond

@@notstonkss9417 SPOILER ALERT: in the following movie, Quantum of Solace, it is revealed that Vesper's boyfriend that was used to blackmail her was actually an agent planted by the organization that supposedly abducted him. Essentially, he would get women like Vesper Lynd (intelligence officers with access to sensitive information) to fall in love with him, then fake his abduction to demand said sensitive information as trade for his life. At the end of QoS, her "boyfriend" was seen working on another female intelligence officer, but Bond intercepted him and got his revenge. In the end, Vesper was being played all along, and even though she technically betrayed him, she still traded her & Bond's life in exchange for the money Bond won in Casino Royale. Vesper did love him, and was just an unfortunate victim of bad circumstances.
Mijo Bažoka most of us forget Quantum of Solace 😂 most likely on purpose.
This is one of the most brutal and realistic fights in any Bond film ever!
Takisch Keana what is then?
yortzandat +1 for the train fight! Awsome!
Yeah- He's obviously not mastered the Roger Moore " One punch knocks a big bloke unconscious" technique yet has he..?
And he didn’t have to use any gadgets.
Die Another Day "Sword Fight "
The shower scene immediately following this was truly a real masterpiece, it snaps the audience out of the fantasy Bond world, and into the reality of espionage if only for a few moments. Only Timothy Dalton had really captured Bond like Ian Fleming wrote him until here, and Eva Green captured how it was really like to be close to Bond. Not all champaign and bmw's. Everyone close to him suffers and usually dies.
well, I read many original Bond stories, and James Bond was never depicted as a really physical guy who would always triumph in a one to one fight. He was depicted as someone who is very fit and smart, and had a great presence of mind.
This version of Bond is very fresh and interesting. But no, it is not how Ian Fleming wrote James Bond. But I am not complaining.
@@debajyotinath5021 You’re absolutely right, and I listened to all the Fleming novels via audiobook. Examples of Bond killing Red Grant and Blofeld instantly come to mind.
@@lukenorth7127 I think the success of spy/assassin movies like Jason Bourne influenced how James Bond has been depicted by Daniel Craig in the recent Bond movies. Though the name is the same, Craig doesn't 'feel' like James Bond anymore, especially if you consider the original stories of Ian Fleming. But nevertheless, this depiction is also interesting. I think people wanted to see something different, and Daniel Craig has been successful in delivering that.
Wrong. Connery in Dr. No was the first to portray Fleming's Bond correctly.
i think the two things which craig and connery both captured about flemming's bond, which none of the other actors really did, was that he is a bit of a prick. he's damaged goods and he doesn't really care much about the collateral damage he causes. unfortunately i think this aspect of bond was downplayed in skyfall and spectre, but it was recognisable on casino royale and quantum of solace
And scenes like this, show why Craig's was a different Bond. A fight scene that's ferocious, as it is fast-paced (and well edited also). In the end he's, yes, victorious. But note, he's bloodied. The scene that follows (not shown) is also a revelation about this Bond. He's back in his room painfully patching up the wounds from the fight. Brilliant awesome stuff.
One detail that I either forgot or missed in this scene, the henchman actually is observant. Though Bond and Vesper are putting on a show in the hallway, the henchman is smart enough to notice Bond's earpiece. Now that's something you don't always see.
Agree with everything you said, but it’s just too bad that the henchman was NOT smart enough to clear the corners though.
I absolutely agree. What I like about Casino Royale is that the villains are not fools, they are fully capable antagonists that can give Bond a run for his money, most of the fights in this film are one on one, the African Warlord and his henchman here and the Carlos guy from the airport chase are prime examples of that. We see how Bond struggled through beating these supposed minor Bond villains, beaten and bloodied. It adds so much believability and realism to the character.

@@IamJoshuaElijahReese I took a part as a stuntman in a few bodyguard/policeman trainings, mostly with airsoft weapons. This is actually one of the most common mistake even for trained profecionals. Usually not this aparent, but still really common.
(the second one is the suicide bomber, but as far as I know, nobody did it on his/her first try...)
He lasts 17 secs after that
Casino Royale is still THE BEST bond film in my eyes, ever. Casting was impeccable, action choreography was unparalleled
Very overrated in my opinion. I understand the direction of this film. This film is of great quality of course, but to me this is not true Bond film. I understand it is a reboot, but this doesn't feel like a Bond movie what so ever. Skyfall is the perfect masterpiece of the Craig era. That's a Bond film. This movie here is James Borne or Jason Bond. I have come to respect this film more so over the years, but to me, I just can't accept it as a true Bond film. QOS was complete garbage with some of the worst camera work I have ever seen when it comes to action. It was so boring, my Dad, a friend and my girlfriend who are Bond fans fell asleep halfway through that movie. I myself lost interest and was wondering wtf was going on and was completely disappointed with the trash ending. At that time I was really caught up in the Taken movies for my spy level thriller until Skyfall came out and finally gained my acceptance of Craig as Bond. For me it took 3 movies for me to finally enjoy Craig as Bond. I am probably on the minority side of really enjoying Spectre. Is it a perfect Bond movie. No, but it does have some great moments, Craig's best fight scene and some true Bond moments once again.
@@jskypercussion Skyfall is also good, but does lean heavier into theatricality and cliché like older bond movies. Casino Royal is gritty and realistic, with the framework of a really solid plot and character study. So what makes it not a true bond movie?
@@synlion I would refrain from using the term realistic to describe Casino Royale. Remember it is still a fantasy movie. The chase through the construction site is still over the top and far fetched even though it is a fantastic sequence . The best way to describe Casino is it's more gritty, intense and with a more serious tone than most other Bond films. It is a well done and a well acted movie. But to me, it doesn't feel like a Bond movie. Bond movies have that certain feel. I am a fan of all the Bond actors and movies for what they are, whether they are silly or more serious toned. But they have a certain feel, and Casino to me feels too much like the Bourne movies and some of the other gritty action movies that came out at the time. Even Licence To Kill, a more serious Bond film still has that Bond feel to it. What I think it boils down to is the formula. Casino broke the formula for the fresh start and back story which definitely was a good thing at the time after the cgi screw up with Die Another Day. But at the same time, it also lost that magic touch of the feel of Bond which would be brought back in Skyfall. If they did not do that, the franchise would have died.
@@jskypercussion And what constitutes that formula? What magic is missing from Casino Royale, that Skyfall brings back?
@@synlion Do you play video games? It will help you to understand better when it comes to shootouts and the classic look of facilities and scenery which all the classic bond movies have incorporated with the formula. Which Casino does not have. Of course there is the Gadgets as well which I will admit can be cheesy at times but there are some great ones as well. To me a classic Bond movie takes you on that mission where you feel like you can play in and make a great video game out of. There are larger than life villains that you can't forget and are just as exciting as Bond at times. The villains in Casino are forgettable. I know Casino is a back story, but it is just too dry and a Bond movie without being a Bond movie. It is good, but it just doesn't fit with the rest of the franchise along with Quantum. To me Quantum is actually not a bad story, it just has a shitty showdown with some of the worst camera work I have ever seen. But back to Casino, It's trying to not be Bond until the very end where he introduces himself.
That is the most unconventional way to go down the stairs
What do mean, it's the best way down I do it on the daily
😄😆☺😂🤣😅
Clearly you've never seen Jason Bourne's technique, just riding a corpse down the centre of the stairwell. Faster too.
🤣😂😅😂🤣😅👌👌👌
I disagree this is the most epic way to go downstairs possible.
Visceral and realistic. Just two men dead but a much bigger impact than slaying dozens with a machine gun like some older bond films
Thats not realistic at all, to kill someone by rear choke he would have to keep holding for another 5 mins after going unconscious, here he was dead after 5 seconds.
Also he has a very weak choke if he had both arms around the guys neck for like 30+ seconds before he went unconscious, a good choke should take like 5 seconds without any hand fighting.
Daniel B Craig holding someone in a choke for 5 minutes wouldn’t make for good film now, would it?
@Wes McGee Maybe it suspends disbelief for people who know nothing about fighting, but for me it doesn't. In the same way the movie gravity might suspend disbelief for people who know nothing about physics, but anyone who has a basic understanding could tell what a bunch off bullshit it was.
Omar Millan what on earth are you saying? I’m sure I speak for >95% of film goers in that they wouldn’t want to watch Daniel Craig hold someone who is unconscious in a choke for 5 minutes straight. For films that don’t depict a true story, or try to portray real life in/through a story, the purpose is usually to exhibit a world or events or stories that is/are unfathomable/inconceivable in real life etc. To distort reality. On the contrary, video games usually try and depict real life things e.g. fifa or gta or racing games so that a person can somewhat experience these things for themselves. Therefore their goal is to appear more realistic, so usually, realism is more important in video games. In the case of this film, it’s James Bond, a series that always pushes the boundaries, often exceeding, what is possible by a human. And it’s an action film, so 5 minutes of someone choking another person out would not be interesting. In this case, what you’re suggesting isn’t possible, they can’t attempt to display the killing of a person by choking for 5 minutes for realism purposes, but shorten it, because that wouldn’t be an attempt, it would just be unrealistic.
Omar Millan ok cool! 👍 :)
The reason Eva Green is arguably the greatest Bond girl is because she doesn't try to be a sexy or alluring. She just is. Green plays it straight and without any wink to the audience or knowing the weight or reputation of such a role.
Lies again? UEFA SW
Ffs
Green has beautiful tits
She is a narcissistic ugly men kisser, she calls people peasants and look down on them, don't enable narcissist.
lea is second best
1:45 easily the best part of the scene. Guard takes out gun. Obanno takes out full sized machete like it's Lord of the Rings
The sweeping-up of the stained glass put where the bodies were hid wound-up on the cutting room floor.
They are the orcs
LMAO
Also the shot was realistically close to bonds head. Something I hate in cinema that I see so often is that whenever characters are missing their shots in action sequences you almost never see where the missed bullets are landing, implying that the person shooting is missing very badly- to the point that it’s not realistic at all and you get reminded of plot armor. Sure, people miss their shots a lot in real life gunfights - it’s a proven statistic - but that’s usually because they are more focused on not getting shot themselves or like in this case they had to take the shot very quickly. Even them people usually don’t miss by much, it’s not that hard to aim a gun. Scenes like this, because of the fact thar you can see that the shooter barley missed Bond- and his immediately fearful reaction remind you how dangerous guns really are and the stakes these kinds of people are playing in. Gotta love it

@@alekseyalekseev4090 DAMN IT, you were faster than me
@@arftrooper44 I missed the part where that's my problem.
Now she knows, this Bond guy is not your regular Oxford graduate.
The same as Bond knew, that this time, it was not a lass taking it in the butt commonly heard in fine hotels.
Yep
Shit got real for Vespyr. As soon as she opened that envelope her whole face changed. She knew she was about to see something bad go down, and she realized James wasn't just some Oxford pretty boy with a nice watch and a chip on his shoulder. He was about to go to work, and she was in very deep. It's a brilliant scene.
I like that it's actually the henchman who realizes Bond has tapped them and listened to the conversation. Very perceptive. He even found a faster way down the stairs.
Close: Bond didn't bug them, and the henchman was even quicker mentally than that. In just the ~2 secs walking past Bond where he clocked the earpiece, he realized that:
1) Any party wearing a discreet earpiece was either a government agency trying to entrap them or an enemy mafia type organization, but in both cases a threat.
2) Furthermore, Bond's placement relative to his boss' room was too close to be coincidence, especially at the time of a shady activities going on in there, to be just brushed off...
...AND, 3) ON TOP OF THAT, dude successfully read by all the other context as well as minor body language cues that the kissing was a front, which, in conjunction with everything else WOULD mean: "This person is out to get my boss and regardless of who this is, I probably need to kill this person asap if I can."
All in 2 seconds. The best part of it being that that's ABSOLUTELY believable and possible which makes it even more badass. It says that the bodyguard has probably BOTH really good natural instincts AND dangerous experience in his trade on top of that to hone those instincts. Very cool.👌💯
"He even found a faster way down the stairs"
You just earned an upvote! 😂
A lot of unusual and incredibly clever elements to this fight that make it as chaotic as possible: a surprise attack, they're in a stairway (a terrible place to have a fight and to film one), there's a machete involved and of course Vesper is there just trying to avoid it all. It's almost an "anti-fight", which is brilliant. You expect it to be smooth, cool and predictable and it's a chaotic, horrible mess where people just clumsily fight and eventually die a grim death. Casino Royale is a great movie in its own right, but it's a masterpiece because we expect the same old thing we've seen in dozens of previous Bond movies.
"Not a word of protest... You should find a new boyfriend"
Buuuuurn
Lechiffre didn't desserve her anyway. I don't think he loved her as she loved him
@@pjosepha she does not love him either that was buisness
By him not protesting, she got to keep the arm.

Brilliant Scene. Damn Martin Campbell is a fabulous director.
It does make you wonder what the heck happened during his directing stint on that Green Lantern movie.
@@darkchibi07 WB interfering as per usual is what happened. They pushed for Ryan Reynolds as the lead even though he looked nothing like Hal Jordan and the role should have been given to Nathan Fillion who was born to play that inconic character and is also a huge fan of him and Green Lantern lore. Thankfully AT&T are restricting their interference today so DC finally hit the ground running. What's recently come out of DC Fandome is looking very promising. So fingers crossed. 🤞
@@darkchibi07 The Foreigner was good tho
You said it!!
@@taliamason7986 maybe cause geoff johns was involved
Maybe you should get a new boyfriend, not even a word of protest. Great line. Casino royale, one of the best bond films. Daniel Craig is perfect as Bond. Can't wait to see No Time To Die! Gonna miss Craig as James Bond!
Yeah that guy is a badass despite his limited screen time.
It was clearly a bluff as the henchman's arm was lined up with her arm.
I will miss him too.He made Bond awesome again.
Interesting and unusual for a Bond film that the baddie lacks the near-superhuman capabilities villains usually have - he can be strong-armed by a couple of African hoods with a machete.
Same.
I just realized the way the henchman held the girls arm to be cut off, his arm is right behind it lol.
They were bluffing I think.
Its just a scare tactic they use to intimidate the victims. They know they're not gonna cut her arm off.
I think there really was no intent on cutting off her hand, he was just testing the other guy
They were trying to be low key here. Cutting off some ladies arm and having the cops show up would be rather counterproductive.
I don’t think it was ever meant to be anything other than an armless prank...
Martin Campbell saved the Bond series TWICE!!! He should always be allowed to come back and reboot the series when needed. Cheers 🥂
The producers are utter fools if they don't hire him after Craig has left. He said he'd be ready to do one with a new actor.
Campbell made two great Bond films but he only saved it once. License to Kill was a good movie and didn't need saving. It was simply legal battles behind the scenes. Die another Day was trash and Campbell made Casino to save the franchise.
@@RichardHorpe Good movie indeed but it didn't well at all at the Box Office which is why United Artists had to pull 'Property of a Lady' from production and completely rethink their entire approach to the franchise which took a few years.
@@taliamason7986
a) The box office results of "Licence to Kill" had zero to do with the legal trouble in the following years.
b) The third Dalton film was never at any point called "The Property of a Lady" - that's an internet myth that somehow made its way into the mainstream.
Please don't write about things you don't know anything about; it's frustrating for me to correct them (but I have to do it, of course, otherwise readers are misinformed).
@@RichardHorpe I would argue Living Daylights was better than License.
I like how the stairwell fight in No Time to Die had subtle callbacks to this scene. Also, the fight went upstairs, in the other direction that this fight went.
No spoilers please I haven't seen it yet but do tell me if the hand to hand combat in No Time to Die is well shot and edited? Thanks in advance
@@hsehovic63 I don’t know how to judge if it was well edited. It looks the same as the other films in my opinion
@@hsehovic63 Dude get off the comment section of any James bond video until you see it. You’ll inevitably see spoilers. Hell, even TH-cam will recommend you a video that has spoilers in the title soon enough if you have watched a few old Bond videos like this
@@hsehovic63 probably the best shot and edited bond movie next to skyfall
The difference is the number of cuts. Cary Fukunaga did it in one take.
This Bond is nothing like the others. Just so raw and gritty. Everything I'd imagine would happen in the life of a spy.
All versions of Bond can get pretty raw. But this one is definitely up there along with Dalton.
@@lucariothehorrorguy5641yeap all is different but what is the novel james bond like
I like how amused Obanno looks when he finds out how self-centered Le Chiffre is.
‘Not a word of protest. You should find a new boyfriend.’
Tho tbh most people in Le Chiffre’s position would do the same.
I love how Vesper first tries to escape but cannot. Sometimes heroism is just not being able to run away.
It's also common sense. When the trained fighter is about to... well, fight, the smart thing to do is to get the hell out of there, NOT stand and watch. Not only are you endangering yourself by sticking around, you're also getting in the way.
@@Arbron True, but i think she was just scared. Cowardly, not smart. A flawed heroine.
@@johndodson8464 Oh, it's definitely the case that she was scared, hence the forthcoming shower scene. At least she wasn't so terrified that she froze up though!
(I guess I'm talking on a meta level. I believe too many movies feature a character standing and watching a fight when they should be getting the hell out of there.)
ironically, had anyone answered her knocking on the exit door, there would have been a witness to deal with.
Thot
Very well shot and choreographed as if we are there on the stairwell witnessing it. The impact it had on Vesper when she was in the shower in shock was a very nice realistic touch that none of the other films prior to it had. Which goes to show the gravity of the whole situation can too much to take in and bare for regular everyday people like us that aren't highly trained Spies. 👌
You're right, that's a sweet moment when Bond comforts her in the shower.
Feel the emotions🥰
Thanks 😊🙏🏻
@@danielcraig6142 Этот фильм великолепен, как они могли испортить все остальные фильмы после этого?Ведь рецепт был прост.
I just noticed this but I love how Bond wraps his jacket around his arm to prevent slash wounds while he's blocking
After bungling just shooting the guy.
That's an old street fighting technique. If you don't have a shield or buckler, you can use your cloak like a snare to catch the opponent's blade. It's where the phrase "cloak and dagger" comes from.
@@CountArtha Hm I always thought that phrase was b/c you were being shady and looking to metaphorically (or actually) backstab someone
@@PassiveWealth It can mean that also.
@@CountArtha I think that's also where the term Swashbuckler comes from regarding the 'swash' being the clothing you use for defense.
I like how this film wasn't afraid of showing the villain being vulnerable, portraying him as an actual human being rather than an untouchable figure.
And plus relatable too. Dude had debt to pay i mean nowadays people might as well go to the extent he went to

This Bond film was full of GREAT fight scenes. The opener in the men's room reminded me of the fight scene in the elevator with Sean Connery in Diamonds are Forever and the train car fight in From Russia with Love. Very brutal...you feel exhausted after watching them from feeling like your there.
All of this can be prevented if Bond had turned to the other side when kissing Vesper.
Ah shit
If I’m kissing Vesper all I’m thinking about is trying not to get a chubby not which side my earpiece is in
It actually increases the risk, since bond is facing back, he won't be able to see the bad guys crossing them
@@Vishaal1797 should have switched the earpiece to the other ear. But then it was too late.
@@hellalive8973 Why wouldn't you want to get a "chubby", as you call it? If you kiss, a woman like that, and don't, she's going to think your gay.
Eva Green is a very striking woman. I wouldn't call her "classically beautiful" but she is very appealing. Her intelligence and her femininity combined with her looks make her one of the all time Bond women. And of course her character's death in this movie is realistic and frankly disturbing. This was the best Bond film ever in my opinion.

Imagine seeing this in the cinema back in 2006, the last bond movie you'd seen was Die Another Day.... This movie would have felt so refreshing!!
I envy my parents as they went and seen it when it was released, I was too young but I waited up for them to come home so I could ask my dad all about it, I was 7 but I was a huge bond fan😁
Love this scene!! Sums Craig's bond up perfectly... Brutal
I saw it in the cinema with a bunch of friends. To tell you the truth, Casino Royale caught us all off guard.
Most of us had grown up with the Pierce Brosnan Bond, particularly of The World is Not Enough and Die Another Day. I'd also mostly watched the Roger Moore movies on TV. So we walked in *expecting* silliness, absurd tools, and over-the-top stunts.
So we were a bit off-put by Casino Royale. I came out feeling totally bored because the high point of the movie was...a poker game. Craig didn't even say "Shaken, Not Stirred"! Where was the mad Bond we had all walked into meet?
But the thing with Casino Royale is that it grows on you. I watched it several times again and again, and I began to appreciate it more and more. Eva Green's performance in particular, which I'd initally dismissed as uninteresting, turned out to be landmark acting.
In short, this movie literally changed our perceptions of how Bond movies ought to be made.
I was 15 when I saw it - didn't really go in with any expectations, but when the chase scene in the beginning happened, I was sold :) Great memories.
I think I was twelve at the time, this was the first Bond I saw in the theaters. You'd have loved it. :)
Very ahead of it’s time for 2006
Brilliance. Pure cinematic brilliance.
So that one dude just carried a sword with him like highlander. 😄
There can be only one.
Yeah I forgot how ridiculous this is for this film which is supposed to be more gritty and realistic lol dude literally brought a fucking sword to a bond fight

I always loved how brutal the fight scenes in Daniel Craig's era of Bond are.
The way she wraps herself around Bond in the elevator shows her falling in love in what can only be described as masterful acting!

Eva Green is just wonderful
It's so weird seeing Eva Green play a role being so vulnerable and panicky. I've always seen her character in other movies as intimidating and will dominate you all the time.
She can dominate me anytime. Snarf Snarf.
This is one of her earlier roles. She does seem to have played a lot of femme fatale characters later on, to the point I think she was type-casted. But recently I think she is playing some more dynamic roles. With Vesper I think she is intimidating on the outside, but vulnerable inside.
@@Nicholas_Chen_ True - Vesper was intimidating and snarky on the outside, but on the inside, she was vulnerable and terrified.
It's also weird watching her play a role with her clothes on. She's got a smokin' bod and wasn't afraid to show it.
i wonder how they convinced her to not display her natural assets
They way he took out that first guy. Dropped him down the stairs absolutely awesome
Yep, it showed his rookie fire was engaged and working, but he screwed up on the follow-up attack with his pistol.
The most intense stairwell fight in a 007 film. The moment I saw it in theatres, Daniel Craig brought to life the true personality of James Bond.
A more realistic depiction than you usually see in film of how long it actually takes to strangle someone to death.
Still unrealistic. People usually black out first or seize while unconscious. You don’t just go from waking to dead
@@headphonic8 You pass out pretty quick though I think.
Best Bond movie along with Skyfall.
Skyfall is way to corny and predictable. Casino Royale and Quantum are the most real Bond films ever made, and age like fine wine.
@@a_single_white_female Skyfall was much better than Quantum. Quantum was filled with shaky-cam, too much editing, directing and script problems.
@@a_single_white_female Out of Craig's Bond films so far, Casino Royale is still the best one. Skyfall comes a close second but I feel it is too highly rated especially with the anticlimactic Home Alone type ending it had. Still nowhere as good as Casino Royale.
@@a_single_white_female I agree with your assessment. I miss the style and feeling that Casino and Quantum both had. Yes, Quantum had poor editing choices, but I feel that Skyfall and Spectre have a grayscale coloring effect due to Sam Mendes being the director and neo-classic script style that has dated them far more than Craig's first two Bond films.
Skyfall is overrated. It's a good movie but at the time is was too hyped up and now people seemed to have run with it. Quantum of Solace was a real stinker and generally considered by far to be the worst of the Craig bonds.
Love the look on Vespers face when he pulls out the Walther and realizes this guys is a real operator and not just poker playing guy.
1:24 'Not a word of protest. You should find a new boyfriend.'
Oof apply water to the burned area Le Chiffre. The African warlord character is a great villain with a badass presence despite his limited screentime. Not to mention he pulled a machete out of his pants and swung it down the stairs.
Dude. That black dude with machete gave bond a run for his money. He could fight
The guy with the machete is near Tom Cruise's level of self stunts, considering he was 49 when they shot this movie, and this scene demands extreme physicality.
Wow, he looks way younger than 49.
Isaach Dé Bankole looked equally good to Daniel Craig - who is 11 years younger - there's no doubt that their characters had to be on the "same page" on different levels and that sequence is one of many reasons why Casino Royale is first rate action movie.
Dude. That black dude with machete gave bond a run for his money. He could fight
Daniel is so cool, and Eva is so beautiful. Best bond film ever
Mmmm best Craig Bond film!!!
it's the only good craig film IMO ;)
@@madhousenetwork7765 You didn't like Skyfall?
@@1981lashlarue it wasn't as good as casino royale. Just bigger production value mate. Also the home alone part of it was hilarious 😂
Yes, by not that much, I agree.
@Omar Millan casino royale, quantum were good entries. Skyfall so so... Spectre was the worst
the way he swung that machete was so aggressive. super realistic!
This was one of most realistic fight scenes in the history of .007 films.
He was out for blood
At the 2:50 mark, I love all the shoe scuff marks on the floor as the bad guy tries to free himself. In the movie NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN, when Chagura strangles the deputy at the police station there were dozens of shoe scuff marks on the floor.
Eva Green is a goddess 😻. My guy really pulled out a sword when he heard gun shots 😂😂
She was really the best match for 007. Madeline in spectre just... isn't it.
I think her role significantly improved in No Time to Die. I still prefer Vesper overall, as she is the first and most important Bond girl in Craig’s series, but Madeline’s arc and relevance does justify itself in the end.
@farting champion I get to watch the film in Hong Kong, and I liked it overall. I can definitely understand if some more knowledgeable James Bond fans dislike this one. It's not as good as Casino Royale and Skyfall but it's still good and on the high end of the spectrum compared to Spectre and Quantum of Solace. It's worth seeing the film in cinemas, because the presentation (cinematography, editing) and action is fantastic, great side characters (Ana de Armas is perfect), and a tighter cohesive plot. I'd say pacing issues, aspects of the third act (resolution), Rami Malek as the villain are the weak parts of the film. It's far from perfect but I'm just glad the film is out.
this is the beauty of movies and its success, putting pretty people with pretty people failures all over the place, who the fuck would have thought eva green and daniel craig would have been the most captivating couple in a bond movie. They both played their role spectacularly
Eva green got her part to fight in that scene. Disarming the villain was her most valiant move.
She took her sweet time deciding to though, she could have kicked the gun away but massively hesitated until it was almost too late.
One of the most brutal fights in the Bond franchise. Struggling to the death should be like this... ugly as hell.
When I was facing a possible 120 days that move was what I decided I'd go with.
Eva has the "Look", the one that requires no words to be uttered.
This is when it finally got all the way real for Vesper. Not just train rides and sarcasm and fancy dresses. A brutal business.
The opening scene, the paper bag opening, is perfect.....
Eva Green was born to play a Bond woman. Strong and striking. For sure one of the most beautiful women of this era of film.
TRUE
Ugh. Simp
@@lennysummers6672 Ugh. Virgin.
One of the best, ever James Bond realistic fight scenes and for its time… this was the first discovery of the new Bond. Watching it was visceral feeling in your guts: gritty realism!! A tough, uncompromising secret agent who doesn’t mind getting up close and personal with the bad guys. His bloodied face and shirt just added to the brilliant fight scene.
One of the most visceral fight scenes in the entire series right up there with Bond’s fight with Red Grant on the train in From Russia with Love.
Initially I hated the gritty and (too) realistic feel of the films since Craig took over, it took me while to get used to it. Now I love it and couldn't imagine a better Bond for this day and age.
Yeah he did a great job. Wonder when we'll ever see his last Bond movie?
@@johnt7630 unmm November?
Being a spy is a dirty business.
I seem to remember Daniel Craig saying that they had no choice but to go dead serious with this film, because Mike Myers/Austin Powers had so effectively ridiculed the whole genre of sexy, comedic, improbable spy movies.
Timothy Dalton would do great I think, he was ahead of his time in the 80s.
This is why Knives/Machetes are deadliest in close combats where guns don't usually work. Out of those many deadly swings it just takes one good hit to end the fight! Wild!
I weak how Vesper is out here barely running on these stairs lol😭. Im like sis hurry up! 😂🤣
remember watching this over 10 years ago and never knew how the guy knew bond was suspicious until now, noticed the ear piece in his ear.
In grade school this kid on the bus whose name I've forgotten had wax in his ear that size.
not just the earpiece by itself, but I think the sobs from inside LeChiffre's room are audible from it. So the guy knew Bond was listening to that room in particular
The black guy who spotted the ear piece had a hell of an eye & he was almost close to killing bond with that spin around shot.
Literally the first TH-cam video in ages that started exactly with thumbnail photo
Everything was at perfection throughout the whole scene especially the direction
I just now noticed that his machete knocked Bond’s gun out of his hand… very subtle but amazing attention to detail.
3:02 That's a *woman* . I love how this film portrays strong women correctly. Not pretending like she can fight like the men, but not portraying her as a helpless and useless bystander.
Dude just say you liked to get pegged
Two thing that are irresistible to men: a cold beer on a hot summer day and Eva Green mysterious, alluring beauty...
Stop simping.
@@lennysummers6672 Lenny mah boah!
All things considered, you gotta give the LRA guy credit. Despite being a brutal, semi-literate warlord who has likely spent his entire life hiding in the jungle terrorizing shanty villages, he knows how to clean himself up real well.
Yep, I was impressed how smart they dressed up too, like high-end African diplomats or something.
@@Hawthorne-Games : Definitely, as a high ranking/senior commander of a feared terrorist organisation, Steven Obanno has to be equally good as 007 - instead of a nasty individual who wasn't much of a threat - and he certainly gave him a "run for his money", one of the best fights in the series.
Semi literate? Wdym?
Dude. That black dude with machete gave bond a run for his money. He could fight
He had over 150 million in his bank account. He definitely wasn't "semi-literate"
Great sequence. It goes straight to the point. You must be really strong to pull and push someone down the stairs though. This is possible and it shows the capabilities of main character even it is not a superhero movies
One of the very best fight scenes in any Bond movie
Certainly is : and it reminded me of the battle with James Bond and Donald Grant in From Russia With Love, because the audience is led to an air of unpredictability where anything could happen.
And I certainly didn't expect to see a fight like this in the 2006 movie as there hadn't been an action scene since the airport with 007 and Carlos engaging in battle - the tensions were there and it had to be broken - best episode in recent times.
The best Bond film of the 21st century and better than many of the 20th century ones, in my view.
@Steve Kaczynski, you're right but at the same time, if you're a Bond fan, there are so many scenes in the other movies that you love seeing again and again.
Swimming teacher: *”Kick those legs!”*
Me: 2:51
This scene scared me as a kid, I had to walk out the room and I never came back for the rest of the film 🤣
Pussy
wtf, ur parents failed u, this movie rated R.
@@SwornReaper mine? Or his?
@@williamlowry92 him
SwornReaper
It is PG-13 lol
Just the brutality of this fight was so stunning. I remember just sitting there with my mouth open -- nothing like this had ever been seen before in a Bond film.
The train fight in From Russia With Love was also brutal.
2:31 funniest part 😂 how she slams the door, it's like director told her to slam the door twice
One of the best fights scenes ever, maybe the best, very difficult thing to make look realistic. This was before they Nutered Bond
It's a great fight but far from the best. There are other movies such as the John Wick and Raid series that have much more satisfying fights scenes to offer among other martial arts movies.
And if you're strictly talking about pure realism then The Revenant>>>>>>>Casino Royale fights.
It's not very difficult to look up how to do a choke properly, or have enough common sense to know it doesn't kill someone without even putting them to sleep
the guy in the back reaction's to his buddy shooting at bond was to turn around running, brandishing his machete. im dead
He's taking it out of his pants 😆
1:48 When he pulled it right out of his pants
Dude. That black dude with machete gave bond a run for his money. He could fight
Seen them all - definitely the best Bond movie of all time.
I want to see this level of grittiness and rawness back to No Time to Die and the future Bond films.
I’m not so sure that Vesper was actually a Bond girl.
But James sure as shit was a Lynd boy :)
That’s sounds cute
They way they show vespers reaction to the gun in the envelope before even showing the gun is really artistic
While fourteen years might have passed, CR still looks brilliant. It might as well have come out yesterday.
@@jonathancooper4914 agreed, it blows my mind that Die Another Day eas the bond before this one. Casino Royale is hands down the best film, my favorite movie of all time
Yeah, that's one of those little touches by Martin Campbell that make this film so good. He also directed Goldeneye.
Eva has great eyes and uses them very well to convey her character's emotions.
@@jimgurganious6642 Agreed, I don't want to sound like everyone else but she is truly the best bond girl. Her character could not have been played by anyone else
"I would take a hand for this betrayal, but you need it to play cards."
His last thoughts were "Took that long to get the gun away from me. Should get a new girlfrie--"
Casino Royale is by far the best Bond Movie in modern times and can be argued top 2 ever.
Casino Royale was Craig's best Bond for sure. Eva Green is just perfection.
I’ll never forget watching this iconic bond film for the very first time. Daniel Craig at his best.
Who remembers seeing...
.... the trailer and being so excited for this film! ?

Amor de familia
Telenovela turca amor de familia
After No Time to Die I belive I need to rewatch Casino Royale
In No Time To Die, he's fighting up the stairwell lol.
Gotta give that bodyguard the most observant bodyguard award.
The black guy who spotted the ear piece had a hell of an eye & he was almost close to killing bond with that spin around shot. Bodyguard of the year award
Best Bond IMHO. I especially was blown away by the scene after in front of the mirror. He is so agitated there, trying to come down.
And Daniel Craig was furious to see his fancy suit ruined.🔥
i love seeing the main character getting all bloody and injured. instead of being so perfect and invincible
I love how it shows the two reactions bond who doesn't care and vesper, horrified
How can one tell that this movie is not so recent?
0:25 SONY ERICSSON 😂
Honestly without that it can very well be a movie from 2020!
Kjnnjujnjn😊
The bad guy almost cut his friend's arm too... Now that's bad ass! 😂😂
Vesper admiring Bond for few seconds in the beginning is priceless... ❤️
