Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaLicence to Kill (1989) used a contest advertising campaign to help generate interest for the movie. The winner of the contest was promised a cameo role in the next James Bond movie. Unfortunately, due to many production issues, work on this movie did not begin for many years. Nevertheless, the contest winner was given a scene after the long delay. She does not have a speaking part, but you can see her in a lovely gold and black evening dress looking over Xenia Onatopp's (Famke Janssen's) shoulder as she plays Baccarat against Bond (Pierce Brosnan).
- GoofsOnatopp and Ourumov activate the GoldenEye satellite by turning two keys simultaneously. As with nuclear missiles, two keys are used so that no single person can launch. However, the keys Onatopp and Ourumov use are within arm's reach of each other, defeating their intended purpose as one person could easily turn both keys.
- Quotes
James Bond: Are these pictures live?
M: Unlike the American government, we prefer not to get our bad news from CNN.
- Crazy creditsJames Bond will return.
- Alternate versionsThe UK DVD version edits the scene where Natalya tries to hit Xenia with a branch but Xenia headbutts her and says "Wait for your turn". The line is said but the headbutt has been removed.
- ConnectionsEdited into Omega 'GoldenEye' Television Commercial (1995)
Featured review
The best of the classic James Bond films
This film is the best of the classic James Bond films, i.e. those before the Daniel Craig reboot. It hits the right tone where it is not too serious but also not too silly either. The pacing is exciting and Pierce Brosnan is classy as always.
