The level of sarcasm in Bonds voice "Oh dear! You want to continue". kills me every time. He's the ultimate troll.

i love how bond has had like 30 lifetimes in which to practice all sorts of random skills to a very high level

I like how Bond's killer instinct kicks in near the the end. Graves is a good fighter, but Bond is an experienced, professional assassin!

This movie is one of my guilty pleasures. Brosnan is MY Bond. Toby Stephens hamming it up and loving it. Halle Berry and Rosamund Pike are both great Bond girls. Weird theme song. Great locations. That hovercraft chase. Cool cars. Fun henchmen. Just overall silliness. I love it.

Toby Stephens is immensely underrated.

This Bond scene is all by itself, the way it starts off normally, then just keeps escalating. Very well done.

I find the way Gustav casually defuses the situation hilarious.

The way Bond kicks the blade at 02:39 is priceless.

Is it just me, or is the audio WAY too quiet in this clip?

This was high octane. I’m really impressed by the choreography and intensity.

Time is proving to be very kind to the Brosnan era Bond films.

Wasn't one of the best Bond films, but I still consider this scene to be one of the best sword-fighting scenes. They really look like they're going after each other rather than the usual tip-tap shit you see in films.

2:18 Pierce Brosnan showing off his comedic chops lol, that whole facial gesture was bloody brilliant

I love how Toby Stephens clearly worked out for the role; hence, he wore a sleeveless top. And Pierce never bothered with lifting weights, and relied on his looks and charm; hence, a long sleeve top.

Everything about this scene is perfection from the moment Bond & Graves begin fighting: the editing, the escalating tension of the magnificent music, the sound design, the general continuity between shots, and most of all the background extras who are all acting “appropriately” (within the context of the film): intensely interested, excited, shocked, scared, amused. Every aspect of sells the action and the escalating hostility between Bond and Graves.
