Line 2:
[[File:goldeneye.jpg|frame| [[The Other Darrin|No substitutes?]]]]
The first ''[[James Bond (
In this film, someone steals the control disc for a pair of [[Kill Sat|satellites that go boom]]. Bond is sent to St. Petersburg to investigate and has to fight a former comrade who was [[Left for Dead]] after a mission to infiltrate and destroy a Soviet military facility went wrong. Particularly memorable for the chase scene where Bond goes after one of the bad guys ''[[Tank Goodness|in a tank]]''.
Line 10:
Bonus confusion: the fiction film ''GoldenEye'' should not be confused with the documentary film ''Golden Eye'', which is about the aforementioned house in Jamaica. Especially not if you're a British newspaper giving away the latter on DVD bundled with the paper itself, and supporting said offer with a TV advertising campaign, ''Daily Mail''. It tends to get you shouted at by the advertising regulator.
[[
----
Line 40:
* [[Bottomless Magazines]]: Just ''how long'' is Xenia standing there massacring those programmers on a single magazine? And how long can Bond fire an AK-74 before reloading?
** Attempted to be [[Averted Trope]] by showing Bond [[Throw-Away Guns|pick up new AK-74s as he goes.]]
* [[Bowdlerise]]: A small amount of content, mostly fight footage, was cut so the film could be released in British cinemas with [[Media Classifications|a 12 rather than a 15]] following the lackluster commercial success of the 15-rated ''[[
* [[Brick Joke]]
** There's lines between Xenia and Bond in their encounters about the 'pleasure being all theirs' - first after the Casino, where Bond says it, next after the sauna, in which it's more cynically given to Bond by Xenia - ''despite her actually [[Orgasmic Combat|having an orgasm]] during the sauna scene and [[Combat Sadomasochist|clearly enjoying herself]]'' - and finally in the jungles of Cuba, where she beats on Bond and pretty much demands that the pleasure will be all hers.
** And Boris' Catchphrase 'I am Invincible!', which he deploys toward the film's end after declaring it earlier on. {{spoiler|[[Kill It
* [[Call Back]]: Boris' situation at the end mirrors Natalya's one earlier, as he survives a destruction of a satellite control station and ends up in something cold.
* [[Camping a Crapper]]: Bond knocks out a guard in a men's room.
Line 86:
* [[Concert Kiss]]: It's a [[James Bond]] movie after all. {{spoiler|At the end of the film, while making out, and thinking they're alone, Natalya asks, "Suppose someone is watching?" to which Bond replies, "There's no one within 25 miles of here." Then Wade suddenly appears, and Bond and Natalya are a little embarrassed but thinking it's not too bad, Wade suddenly calls out a command, [[Brick Joke|to which dozens of Marines]], right in the area where Bond and Natalya were making out, blended in with the ground by camouflage, suddenly appear.}}
* [[Cool Train]]: Janus's missile train base.
* [[Cowboy Bebop
* [[Creepy Cathedral]]: Where Natalya goes to meet Boris and {{spoiler|gets kidnapped by Janus}}.
* [[Cut the Juice]]: The Goldeneye does this by ''destroying everything electronic'' in its blast. It's essentially the [[Kill Sat]] version of an EMP.
* [[Cyberpunk]]: Arguably, seeing as the film was made when the Internet was only young and computing was really beginning to take off. This can be seen in Boris being a wizard '[[Hollywood Hacking|hacker]]' as well as Natalya demanding to use several IBMs with jargon-infused specifications at a computer shop.
* [[Death
** Subverted by Natalya in Severnaya when the set of computer screens falling from the ceiling stop right above her.
** {{spoiler|Janus, when he lands in the drained reservoir and the cradle falls right on top of him}}.
Line 165:
* [[High Altitude Battle]]: The final fight between Bond and Janus on top of the transmitter dish.
* [[High Concept]]: In-universe, Bond describes Janus's plan as just "petty theft" and Janus as a "common thief".
* [[Hoist
* [[Hollywood Hacking]]: Like you wouldn't believe. Still, it was 1995, and some of it can be attributed to [[Technology Marches On]].
* [[Hollywood Tone Deaf]] / [[Irony
* [[Hope Spot]]: After "Cuban Severnaya" explodes, Boris survives and [[Tempting Fate|yells]] "[[Nothing Can Stop Us Now|I AM INVINCIBLE!]]". {{spoiler|Then vats of liquid nitrogen explode and freeze him.}}
* [[Human Shield]]: Ouromov uses Natalya as one.
* [[If I Wanted
* [[Incredibly Lame Pun]]
** Natalya's reaction to Boris's [[Double Entendre|dirty jokes]].
Line 198:
* [[Kick the Dog]]: Ouromov's moment is in the chemical plant when he shoots a Soviet soldier who gets nervous and fires on Bond using chemical tanks as cover after Ouromov orders the soldiers not to.
** Possibly Justified, as Ouromov is worried that the resulting explosion/chemical leak will kill them all.
* [[Kill It
* [[Kill'Em All]]: Xenia at Severnaya.
* [[Kill Sat]]: The weapon GoldenEye itself.
Line 205:
** [[Alan Cumming]] as Boris "I AM EENVEEEENCEEBULLL" Grishenko
** [[Famke Janssen]] also has great hammy fun as Xenia.
* [[Leaning
* [[Leave No Witnesses]]: After acquiring the Goldeneye key, Ouromov has Xenia kill the Severanya facility's entire staff.
* [[Lighter and Softer]]: Pierce Brosnan was a considerably less serious Bond, using much more humor than his predecessor, Timothy Dalton.
Line 227:
* [[Not the Fall That Kills You]]: Played with, Alec survives the fall from the antenna, but it crushes him a minute later, killing him before the audience knows if the fall was fatal.
* [[No Plans, No Prototype, No Backup]]: Defense Minister Mishkin thinks this is the case with the Goldeneye, but he is oh so wrong.
* [[Obsession Song]] / [[Stalker
* [[Oh Crap]]
** Bond when he sees Alec being held at gunpoint by Ouromov.
Line 240:
** Ouromov as well.
* [[Outrun the Fireball]]: Done by Natalya after the Goldeneye fires on Severnaya. Later by Bond and Natalya in Janus's base in Cuba after {{spoiler|Boris unknowingly triggers Q's pen grenade, destroying a ton of the base}}.
* [[Out
* [[Pay Evil Unto Evil]]: Valentin's description of the fate of the Lienz-Cossacks, despite the collateral damage, is as "Still, ruthless people. They got what they deserved."
** Janus views his actions with the Goldeneye satellite as this.
Line 254:
* [[Product Placement]]: Bond's BMW. It is a [[James Bond]] movie after all.
** Also, the Perrier truck.
* [[Punny Name]]: This is a [[James Bond (
** This works even better in the German version, where Bond butchers her name into "Ohne Top" (Topless).
* [[Railing Kill]]
* [[Ramming Always Works]]: Janus attempts this when Bond parks his tank on the track that Janus's train base is heading towards. Janus orders the train to go to full speed to ram Bond. It might have worked if {{spoiler|Bond hadn't fired the tank's main gun at the train, derailing it}}. Xenia is, of course, entirely too excited by this turn of events.
* [["The Reason You Suck" Speech]]
** Judi Dench's new M verbally dismantles the new Bond in the first third of the movie. As Bond's first female boss in the series, and as a female considerably older than Bond, M takes the [[Broken Base]] [[Audience Surrogate]] [[Up to Eleven]] by telling him exactly what she thinks of him as a "sexist, misogynist dinosaur" and "a relic of the Cold War". This may be exactly what some viewers thought when the movie premiered, because of world events in between this film and the last one, 1989's ''[[
** Bond also gets one from Janus in the statue park.
* [[Red Scare]]: Subverted. Ourumov looks like he's trying to revive the Soviet Union with himself at the head. However, he's only trying to make money by assisting Janus's real plan.
Line 281:
'''Bond''': Lucky me. (One of Valentin's [[Mook|mooks]] appears and points a gun to Bond's head.<br />
Valentin: I think not. }}
* [[Stay in
* [[Stock Foreign Name|Stock Foreign Names]]: Boris and Natalya, almost the same ones used in ''[[Rocky and Bullwinkle]]''.
* [[Super Window Jump]]: This is how the tank chase begins...
Line 289:
** The [[Big Bad]] is named after a British film censor who didn't like the early Bond films.
** The teaser trailer has Pierce Brosnan swagger into the light until the audience can see his face. He looks at the camera and asks if we were expecting someone else. Possibly a reference to the 4th and previous Bond; Timothy Dalton, who wasn't as well received as his predecessors, and a reassurance that we had nothing to worry about now that the part had been recast.
* [[Tank Goodness]]: So awesome [[Tomorrow Never Dies
* [[Technology Marches On]]: The movie came out in 1995. Natalya goes to an IBM office so she can contact Boris via the internet, and gives the sales rep a purchase order as a rather clever lie to use their connection. Computers using 500 megabyte hard drives, with 14.4 kbps modems, [[Seinfeld Is Unfunny|seem woefully underpowered today]].
** Bond's digital camera, and the on-board computer in his car, which he used to send a picture of Xenia that [[MI 6]] analyzed on the spot, are within current smartphone or tablet capabilities.
Line 323:
* [[Wound That Will Not Heal]]: Non-fantasy version. Valentin uses a cane to walk because of a limp on his right leg that Bond gave him by shooting him.
* [[You!]]: Not said out loud, but the look on Bond's face definitely says this as {{spoiler|Janus reveals that he is Alec back from the dead}}.
* [[You Look Familiar]]: Joe Don Baker, who plays Jack Wade, earlier played [[Big Bad]], Brad Whitaker, in ''[[
* [[You Have Failed Me]]: Wouldn't be a Bond movie without this. "Either you've brought me the perfect gift, General Ouromov, or you've made me a very unhappy man."
* [[You Have Outlived Your Usefulness]]: Did we mention this a [[James Bond]] film? Immediately after having the officer in charge of Severnaya bring him the Goldeneye key, Ouromov has Xenia shoot him, [[Leave No Witnesses|along with]] the [[Kill'Em All|entire Severnaya staff]].
