Product Details

Product Description

Additional Features

James Bond DVDs have in general been pretty loaded, but Die Another Day raises the bar with a two-disc set featuring dynamic DTS 6.1 ES and Dolby Digital 5.1 EX sound that makes good use of the rear speakers. The first commentary track is by Pierce Brosnan and Rosamund Pike (who plays villain Miranda Frost). They weren't together at the time, so their comments are spliced into one track. Brosnan has a good time watching and is proud of the film but also doesn't take himself too seriously ("They don't teach you this stuff at drama school: 'OK, now you're going to be electrocuted by the bad guy.'"). Self-proclaimed "Bond novice" Pike also is proud of the film and says she's annoyed by people who question whether there's still a need for Bond. On the second commentary track, director Lee Tamahori and producer Michael G. Wilson chat about topics as diverse as casting, Bond lore, and product placements. For more Bond lore, don't overlook the trivia track, which offers pop-up tidbits about the filming and tips on the inside jokes.

The centerpiece of the second disc is the 80-minute "Inside Die Another Day" documentary, which is a set of featurettes strung together. Topics include the opening surfing sequence; the scenes set in North Korea and Cuba (including Halle Berry's bikini tribute to Ursula Andress); the ice palace; post-production elements such as computer graphics, editing, and music; the car battle (finding strong ice was the key safety issue); and the passing of the "Q" torch from Desmond Llewellyn to John Cleese. --David Horiuchi

1.0 out of 5 stars Colonel Moon, did you lose your Korean speaking abilities?, Jan 11 2005
By 
N Joungyuob B Ohh (richmond hill, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: James Bond 007 Die Another Day (VHS Tape)
Since Toby Stephens was set to play BOTH Gustav Graves AND Colonel Moon (in genetically or at least surgically altered form) his Korean really should have been much, much more smooth when he revealed his true identity to his father, General Moon.

Aside from the atrocious speaking gaffe, there are other problems with this debacle of a film. There are so many, but this reviewer will mention only a few. The (U.S.) C.I.A. does not, indeed can not, order the Republic of Korea's armed forces to do anything. The farms in the R.O.K. are now plowed by motourised tractors, not mules! And Iceland is not all that icy; instead, Greenland is.

This installment vies with "A View to a Kill" (1985) as the worst James Bond 007 movie(s) of all time. After V/K with Roger Moore, the franchise somehow managed to continue, with "The Living Daylights" (1987) and "The World is not Enough" (1999) marking the high points. On balance, though, this series most likely has at long last run its course, for the bulk of the movies that came out after the ascension of Gorbachev (remember him?) in the then-U.S.S.R. are indistinguishable from all the other action-oriented films. May Bond rest in peace.

5.0 out of 5 stars STILL LIFE IN BONDAGE, July 15 2004
By 
Michael Butts (Berkeley Springs, WV USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Die Another Day (Widescreen Special Edition) [2 Discs] (DVD)
Who would have dreamed in 1963 that Dr. No would be the first of twenty James Bond films? There have been some misses in those 20 films (Moonraker, Octopussy, to name two), but overall the series has aged quite well, and moves into the 21st century quite adroitly.
While ON HER MAJESTY'S SECRET SERVICE remains my favorite Bond film, Pierce Brosnan has done well in his Bond role. He's dashing but vulnerable, and he is a good actor. He's joined in this technological brouhaha by the talented Halle Berry. While this is certainly not Halle's best performance, she shows the versatility and dedication that eventually led to her Oscar win in MONSTER'S BALL. She's a beautiful woman and she holds her own in the fight game too! Rosamund Pike is delightful as Ms. Frost, the double agent who battles Halle in the climax. Toby Stephens does a good job as Graves, but he's not the most memorable of the Bond villains. The action sequences and effects are stunning, except for the obvious blue screen used when Bond escapes from the supercar. And the laser in the sky threat has been used twice before in Bond movies: You Only Live Twice and Diamonds Are Forever. John Cleese is cool as Q; Madonna is silly in her cameo, and DIE ANOTHER DAY is one of the worst themes of any Bond movie. No one will ever replace John Barry as the master of the Bond themes. And it wouldn't hurt to see Judi Dench soften a little in her role as M. Nice touch in having B movie actor Michael Masden as the American NSA chief.
All in all, a worthy entry in the Bond series; if Brosnan and crew can keep up this kind of pace, we may see Bond hit 50!!!
