Tomorrow Never Dies (1997)
Imagine if a madman wanted to create World War III so that his media outlets would become more powerful; isn’t that evil and frightening? If you agree, then you’re a ’90s kid who loves Pierce Brosnan and believes he’s the one and only James Bond. If it’s been a while since you’ve watched Tomorrow Never Dies (or if 1997 passed you by and you didn’t go to the movies that year), rent it this weekend.
In the second of the only legitimate Bond movies, Pierce literally gets to use himself as a weapon. Jonathan Pryce is the evil madman who wants to start a war, and in order to spy on him and find out more about his plan and progress, Pierce plans to seduce his wife. It’s not the most difficult task since Mrs. Pryce (played by Terri Hatcher) is his ex-girlfriend; but it wouldn’t be difficult even if she was a total stranger, right, ladies?
My mom refers to this one as “the Terri Hatcher one”, but there is another girl in the movie. I always call it “the Michelle Yeoh one”, so I guess it depends on which side you’re on. Michelle is an action star in her own right, and she gets to give as good as she gets, punching, kicking, shooting, and managing to get a hair wash while handcuffed. However, as much credit the bum-kickin’ ladies deserve (including tough Judi Dench as M), we all know what it’s really called. “The Pierce Brosnan one”.
