GoldenEye’s Climactic Fight

On this day in 1995, shooting began on Bond and Alex Trevelyan’s climactic fight scene in GoldenEye. Pierce Brosnan’s debut 007 film was the first to extensively utilize digital effects with 140 CGI shots alongside traditional special effects including this fight scene. “The fight scene goes on and on and on,” recalled Sean Bean. “It’s a hell of a showdown. It’s not just about fighting. It’s seeing it in their eyes as much as anything — seeing the link between them and they’re having to fight to the death.”
