I don’t know if this has already been commented on, but it definitely is Samantha Bond as Moneypenny driving the DB5 in that deleted scene. I have a photo of both her and Pierce Brosnan in the car from some magazine that I purchased ‘back in the day’. It was one of many pictures used to promote the film throughout the article, probably before they decided to delete that scene. I’d have to dig up my old magazines from that time period, but I definitely remember that she was in the driver’s seat. By the way, I love your videos - you do a great job!
I think the deleted scene with Renard at the beginning could have worked better had they done a Blofeld on him. In other words, kept his face hidden. Only show him below the chin with his hands holding the rifle, or his back to the camera like in the Cigar Girl's close ups. That way the audience would be alluded to him and get their big dramatic reveal later on.
Too generic, reveals nothing (since their conversation is insignificant), you can see he has nothing to say and the key things he cannot reveal to the audience yet, and yes, we don't see him for quite some time before we do, because he simply has no part to play in the early stages of the movie, especially since it's a time in which we're establishing Elektra. If they pulled Blofeld without him having any reason to be in the scene, it would give away the "moustache twirling villain" feeling it gives right here. They did well throwing this scene out. Made him feel like a shadow looming over the figures that move. And when he finally appears he feels as menacing as Alec does in the Golden Eye (just a little bit lesser). That being said, there was so much more potential in Renard than what was accomplished with him. I was impressed by his introduction in the HQ; a villain that knows no pain because of a bullet in his head, that will end up killing him, but until it does it will keep making him stronger. This should have been played on much more than it was. I'd cut some of the chase scenes half (especially the one in the beginning) just to see him growing in power on the account of the fact he knows he'll die, and the game between the lack of the fear of death and the fear of death itself improving his instability. He was also played by a brilliant actor. Lack of screen time made him half as memorable as he could have been.
It would’ve been interesting to see, if they had put the title sequence after the bank escape, how they would’ve segued from Bond on the roof of the Millennium Dome to King’s funeral. Because that would’ve been a bit of tonal whiplash - going straight from a fast-paced and light-hearted action scene to a sombre funeral.
Very true actually! The shift from Bond hanging onto the side of the dome and into the credits is really well done and the lose that would have been a shame too.
I guess there intention was to have a short sequence as the prologue then followed by a long action scene after the credits as they later did for Casino and Quantum but they were right to change it for this film.
The idea of Moneypenny driving Bond's Aston is pretty interesting. Let's just hope the Moneypenny from the Welcome to Japan, Mr. Bond promo doesn't get her hands on it.
The exposition regarding the oil refinery's history was interesting enough, only lasted a minute, so I think it would have done no harm to keep it, and it adds to the story of Elektra's passion for her empire. As for the electric shock bit, I cannot see what they were thinking of even writing that
@@ricardocantoral7672 A bit of editing would have, in my opinion, made it shine, because it had some good lines and the information we needed to know, in order to feel the weight of the field. I think it was a miss cutting it out.
I always interpreted Renard saying that he "let Bond live" as he gave orders to some henchman not to kill him. I think that makes him seem much cooler, like he was sitting in his far away lair, but still toying with Bond.
@@calvindyson I could see your face building up deep interest! I even thought to myself "Have I forgotten this...?" I was expecting it to be some kind of grand temple they didn't use in Baku or something but nope!! Just a really generic building. Totally agree when you say these scenes are so polarising. I can definitely see why they were cut. It's a real shame that Elektra and Bond scene was deleted though. Nice bit of extra depth there!
Sometimes you can be somewhere that feels impressive but doesn't look impressive when you photograph or film it but I think someone should send Michael Apted a Star Wars film LOL
The first scene made me think: what exactly is Cigargirl doing in a boat on the Thames? It seems now that she was there to kill Bond. From a boat? Hoping he would appear at a hole in the wall?? Apart from that I like the idea of cutting to the tittles right after we have learned that the villians have decided to kill Bond. But then again, the bank escape would have been a tame pre-title sequence. A shame the oildfield drive didn't make it into the film. Oil in blood/blood in oil is a great line.
Been loving these commentaries over the deleted scenes in the bond films great work Calvin! I loved the DB5 scene and totally agree about the Q lab... how lame!
It was always weird having Connery saying it. Esp as he works for The 'British' Secret Service. And even Fleming made Bond Scottish (made canon in the films with Skyfall).
I remember reading there was a cut bit of Zhukovsky firmly being shown as dead but it was taken out to make his demise 'less certain'. Not that it ultimately lead to anything.
It would have been nice to see the DB5 in TWINE, but I do quite like the fact that we don’t see it in every single Bond Film... well, not until it was driven down our throats for Craig’s tenure.
The World Is Not Enough has always struck me as a movie the creators seemed to have struggled with a bit; obviously every movie undergoes changes during production, but my impression has always been that the film they started out making looks really quite different to the end product.
I like how the first deleted scene was included in the novelization, and I think it suits better there, as the way it's presented make it more suitable for a book instead of a film. And the DB5 is also visible in the final film, albeit on thermal camera
12:00 I believe the woman was upside down indeed. About who’s driving the DB5, you kan ask Samantha Bond on Twitter. She’s very nice. Since we have 4 Craig films with the db5, I don’t mind missing it in twine actually. Quite sad really, a bond fan who’s fed up with that beautiful car...
@@purplebondsaiyan2987 I think in the end EON stepped in and threatened legal action. Although I believe Campion Bond is a character in the graphic novel, there's more leeway in that form than in film. Malcolm Tucker from The Thick Of It features in a later volume, for example.
Hi Calvin please keep all these videos coming, this bond film is my favourite Brosnan bond film from pre titles and title song through all the fil which to me is the sexiest bond film. This is to me Brosnans best performance as bond and ge certainly looks the part. I'm more than happy with deleted parts taken out, I'm doing a bond marathon at mo 2 every week.
You're right, the sniper bullet from some mysterious nozzle that we never see has much more power than revealing the shooter or even how and why. The idea that even James Bond inhabits a large and rich world that extends beyond his knowledge gives it added realism and danger, and makes it much more exciting.
@@stuffedsheepshead It was used all the time in early 90's 'happening' progs. Usually on a Fisher Price Pixel Vision child's camera for extra wo factor.
@@thefonzkiss I said it was in a lot of early 90's stuff. This video for TWINE (1999) would prob have been 99, or in 2000, so it was late with that trend. To the point it would have looked naff then.
Hey Calvin, did you know that some fans are remaking GoldenEye 007. It comes out in August 2022 and they‘re calling it GoldenEye 25! It‘s gonna be free!
Indeed! I follow their account on Twitter and some of the screengrabs I've seen are just beautiful! I hear it's PC only though... Which means I might have to source a second hand one from somewhere!
Calvin Dyson The music for the game is great too! The composer called GoldenZen already uploaded a 20-minute-video with parts of the score and i already love it!
Some facts I pulled off the wiki about elektra king so In the novelisation, Elektra does not die immediately after she's shot by Bond. Instead, as she lies dying on the bed, she begins to sing a lullaby. The film's original ending had Elektra survive her gunshot wound and was recovering in hospital, where she was visited by Bond. The ending was changed because it was considered too downbeat.
If only they left the Aston Martin DB5 in the film then Pierce Brosnan’s Bond would have had an Aston Martin appear in all his films. I wish they left it in, but then again TWINE is brilliant Bond film and spy thriller romp, I can’t complain about the film. I enjoy it.
These reactions to deleted scenes and features on the blu ray and DVD extras are brilliant Calvin. Agree with the oil field scene that worked well that was a major scene to cut when you think of the expense of going out there to film it. Kinda sets the tone visually for what the film was about. I would have kept that in. And the The Things We Do For England quip it works because there would have been a knight in the armour who did bad deeds for Queen and country. My gut instinct whenever there's scenes featuring Pierce as Bond is to want them in the film even when they don't work in the film. The Aston should have been in there just for the heck of it. The intro with Renard doesn't work and the Q scene without Q is so bad it's funny..you can even see the wires on his coat when he's flipped.
I remember seeing this at the cinema, and I could swear there was a scene that's been removed from the film that was in the theatrical release. It's an extension of the scene where Electra pays off Zhukovsky at the casino. After she loses, Bond decides to play himself, and uses the X-ray glasses to essentially cheat and win. Has anyone else ever seen that, as I'm certain I didn't hallucinate that, and have never seen it since nor mentioned anywhere?
16:20 People in body bags. Seems to have been an inspiration to the shot in Skyfall showing the bodies of dead people with M next to them. And yes, Mr Calvin, you are being generous. What I like with the deleted scenes on the Bond series is most of them are useless and thus cut out for good reasons. Even if I like some of them across so many movies, objectively, most of them would have slowed the pace and not added, nor clarifyed anything. The only opposite example that comes to mind is the part that explains why Plenty O'Toole is mistaken for Tiffany Case in Diamonds Are Forever.
"Unlike all of Thunderball." Same with Tomorrow Never Dies. You know pretty much from the beginning what Carver is planning to do. But in that case, Bond knows the plot as well. So there's absolutely no mystery for the audience. Still, great movie.
@@davidjames579 The closer parts of it were constructed there by the set designers, but the rest was added via CGI. Also, the majority of the King pipelines seen in the movie were actually made of cardboard
Hey Calvin, loving these Deleted Scenes Reactions videos. Among your increased Lockdown Content, will you be reviewing The Rhythm Section, now it's available to rent/buy? With it being the only spy film to be produced by EON that's not Bond.
The Q branch scene was funny (especially your reaction), but I definitely agree it should have been left out. I also agree about the Bond Electra scene driving through the oil fields. I think it would have really built both characters and their motivations in the film to have included it.
It seems weird to stage this, and have Samantha and Pierce in it, and then not even show them. Why come up with the conceit then, which as Calvin points out makes logical sense? Such a rare opportunity to have Moneypenny drive it.
The electrical shocker is called a Van de Graaff Generator. Did you not have one in your school Science Class, Calvin? My teacher got someone's hair to raise up (it doesn't create a painful shock I'm told). That was in the mid 90's, and it was an ancient looking piece of equipment, so unless my school blew it's year's budget on it, I doubt it was considered cutting edge in 1999. Why MI6 have one I have no idea. It just seems a weird sciencey joke. Tonally it doesn't fit TWINE, or a Bond film. No idea how quality control didn't nix this one at the writing stage.
Great video as always. I would have liked to see the scene with Bond and Electra in the car. I don't mind the politics. As you said, it's very Fleming like, and it keeps with the more serious (at least partly serious) tone of the film. While I would have liked to have seen more of Cigar Girl that scene is weak. I like this film but really would have had to take points off if they included that Q Branch bit.
This is off-topic but I kinda miss your GoldenEye Caverns Elevator music for the outro lol. Maybe you can use any other Bond video game music for the outro...?
Vicktor Zokas aka Renard the anarchist. That introduction and hologram scene blew my mind when I was 7. When I started to show my wife bond films, I started her with Goldeneye and upwards. When we watched TWINE she said to me that she thinks Elektra is fishy and will turn on them as she's in on it just as the pipeline bomb scene was happening. Im looking forward to showing her Roger Moores bond though. Next in line after No time to die comes in cinemas.
The other problem with the "Things I do for England" line being cut is that ... he's currently in Scotland. Brings up questions about Bonds Scottish identity etc.
I'm with you Calvin. I would only have kept the vehicle scene. And maybe Moneypenny driving the Aston. I'm very fond of Apted. You can tell he really gave TWINE his best shot.
I hoped you also comment on the scenes Apted deleted or changed with boatchase. It whas very good choose not starting the maintitle after Bond jump out of the window. Boat chase have have a long screentime that you need a break. Talking about a choose like that, i think there should have consider for Casino Royale to include the scenes of South Africa with intro of Mr White and jumping and it end with explosion who changed in to the maintitles. Or even better start the movie in South Africa and cut whole dryden thing.
The most important thing is the director confirming that Renard is NOT the main villain and Elektra is!
that Q branch deleted scene is "shocking...positively shocking..." - sorry couldn't resist...
Oh shut up 007
Hair-raisingly bad.
“That’s not funny 007..”
"Oh, do grow up 007"
With the shitty camera quality and the cartoonish nature of it, that scene felt like it was something from the Roger Moore era.
I don’t know if this has already been commented on, but it definitely is Samantha Bond as Moneypenny driving the DB5 in that deleted scene.

Often the promotional stuff is prepared long before the final cut of the film is locked. Makes for delicious morsels if you spot them.
It's them indeed. It is described in the book SOME KIND OF HERO. ;)

The face at 11:07 accurately sums up all of my emotions after that deleted scene.
Suddenly the CGI surfing in "Die Another" Day" began to look good after that electric shock scene.
The idea of Moneypenny driving Bond's Aston is pretty interesting. Let's just hope the Moneypenny from the Welcome to Japan, Mr. Bond promo doesn't get her hands on it.
16:30 - Pierce isn't even pretending to hide his Irish accent here! 😂
th-cam.com/video/eDTFmp_36n0/w-d-xo.html
"Ayyyyy-Jen-Ceeeee". I always thought Pierce's unique accent was how he spoke, I didn't realise he could still do Irish, or would revert to it.

The exposition is interesting but it's a tad too heavy handed for a film. I can see it working perfectly in a novelization of the film.

Great video as always. I would have liked to see the scene with Bond and Electra in the car. I don't mind the politics. As you said, it's very Fleming like, and it keeps with the more serious (at least partly serious) tone of the film. While I would have liked to have seen more of Cigar Girl that scene is weak. I like this film but really would have had to take points off if they included that Q Branch bit.
7:41 best face
7:17 Thats Gothic Temple, Stowe Park, Buckinghamshire, England. Not scotland, or Cathedral or Church (Intended as a church?).
Interesting.... love it when you say that mate. I think all of that is better left chopped out
I could hear the umlaut on that Thank Goodness it was so intense.
Pure class
This is off-topic but I kinda miss your GoldenEye Caverns Elevator music for the outro lol. Maybe you can use any other Bond video game music for the outro...?
Wonder whether that is Moneypenny driving the DB5 or if it might be Robinson driving.
I liked the history lesson in the car with Electra and Bond. Was only short, wouldn't have hurt much to keep it, very Fleming, as you say
Is the background music from the TWINE video game?
Could you do the deleted scenes to license to kill next, i would like to see you opinion on those ones.
I'm surprised you haven't done your own gunbarrel sequence at this point lol
I wonder if we'll ever get a scene where Calvin's like "why the HELL did they cut it out???"
4:28 hilarious
RIP Robbie Coltrane
The scene with Bond and Electra in the car is so flat, it’s like they are a married couple
Thought for a fan project: get all the deleted scenes and see if fans can recut the film to make these deleted scenes work.
Vicktor Zokas aka Renard the anarchist. That introduction and hologram scene blew my mind when I was 7. When I started to show my wife bond films, I started her with Goldeneye and upwards. When we watched TWINE she said to me that she thinks Elektra is fishy and will turn on them as she's in on it just as the pipeline bomb scene was happening. Im looking forward to showing her Roger Moores bond though. Next in line after No time to die comes in cinemas.
14:47 Not quite there the Scene but very cool!
Hystorical Context and giving the Story a bit of Air to breathe is not bad at all.
The other problem with the "Things I do for England" line being cut is that ... he's currently in Scotland. Brings up questions about Bonds Scottish identity etc.
The nurse is in the 2nd mission of the N64 version of the game. You have to escort her to the vault to help King.
I'm with you Calvin. I would only have kept the vehicle scene. And maybe Moneypenny driving the Aston. I'm very fond of Apted. You can tell he really gave TWINE his best shot.
Hey Calvin, what is your favourite era of Bond?
11:01-11:07 my thoughts exactly! Love the clearly visible wire on the guy too.
I'm guessing they would have Digitally removed that if they'd used it in the finished film.
Mate, where did you get your JW poster from?
RIP Valentin Zukovsky
I hoped you also comment on the scenes Apted deleted or changed with boatchase. It whas very good choose not starting the maintitle after Bond jump out of the window. Boat chase have have a long screentime that you need a break. Talking about a choose like that, i think there should have consider for Casino Royale to include the scenes of South Africa with intro of Mr White and jumping and it end with explosion who changed in to the maintitles. Or even better start the movie in South Africa and cut whole dryden thing.
"A world made up of just not enough deleted scenes, idk never played the game"
RIP Michael Apted :(
oh i didn't know he died until i saw this comment
That deleted Q scene was something straight out of Casino Royale
No, not the good one.
Better deleted scenes than usual.
Hello calvin dyson. I just want to say that you missed oddjob's hat in your top 10 bond gadget video. Other than that love your vids.
Maybe he prefers 10 other gadgets, I certainly do
@@sonnykingcomposer I find it odd since odfjob's hat is iconic
@@BricklyDragon it is, but iconography doesn't allways mean it's the best. I love it, but I do love atleast 10 more gadgets even more.
john dao You do realise it’s CALVIN’S opinion, right?
@@liquidgeorge he said at the end if he missed anything ovi leave it in the comments
Hi Calvin. U should do a top 10 non Fleming bond books video
