Special Features

This Special Edition dossier includes “The World Of 007,” an original television special hosted by Elizabeth Hurley; the original featurette and over 15 trailers and television spots in CAV; the GoldenEye music video performed by Tina Turner; Italian, French and German language dubs of Pierce Brosnan as Bond plus a behind the scenes running commentary from the director and producer which discusses how the big set pieces were accomplished using model effects, digital computer effects and live action footage, and describing the contributions and challenges faced by the many artisans who worked on the film. The quality of the project is first rate and a tribute to the late Albert Broccoli, the Bond series producer who died after its completion at age 87.

Story Synopsis

Armed with his licence to kill, Bond (Brosnan) races to Russia in search of the stolen access codes for “GoldenEye,” an awesome space weapon that can fire a devastating electromagnetic pulse toward Earth. As Bond squares off against his evil former compatriot, Alex Trevelyn, aka Agent 006 (Bean), he also battles Trevelyan’s stunning ally, Xenia Onatopp (Janssen), who crushes victims with pleasure between her ultra-toned thighs. Trivia note: GoldenEye was the name of Ian Fleming’s Jamaican home.
