GoldenEye claims many Bond firsts, but Tomorrow Never Dies, Pierce Brosnan's second outing, claims one first which GoldenEye wrongly claimed.
The car chase in the multi-story car park where James Bond is sitting in the back seat and driving the car with his phone, which had been repurposed as a remote control for the car, exudes a distinct video game vibe, making the film feel all that more technologically-oriented and modern. It may not have been his darkest Bond film or the movie that had Pierce Brosnan's darkest kill as James Bond, but it was certainly the one that brought the 007 franchise into the modern era. The producers realized they had to somehow address the collapse of the Cold War that had occurred over five years prior in Berlin. As a result, GoldenEye doesnโt feel much like a film of the '90s, instead more befitting of decades past, since, like its villain, Alec Trevelyan, it is stuck reminiscing over past political events.
