Elliot Carver is
working on building his global media empire. His next step is to obtain broadcasting rights in
China. His plan is to provoke both
the British and the Chinese to start WWIII. Bond is surprised to meet his former friend Paris and she is
now the wife of Elliot Carver. Bond
teams up with Wai Lin in his battle with Carver and his men.
There is a LOT of
action in this film and the body count of
197 is the highest in a Bond film. There are also a LOT of
gadgets, special effects and stunts.
My favorit gadget is the BMW driven by a small remote control. The car is bulletproof, hammer proof and
emits a deadly gas. Plenty of
firepower and other items added to the car also.
There doesn’t need to be much of a story line. You have the standard bad guys and plenty of chase and
shooting scenes. Just sit back,
relax and let the action play out!!

selected instead.
