    Uh, huh.

    • Where is this from? (the clip)

      • Tomorrow Never Dies (The second Pierce Brosnan Bond film).

        • Huh, a search brought that up, and I'm a big bond fan, but I have absolutely no recollection of that scene and so was confused. Guess it's been a while since I've rewatched them. Thanks :)

          • I haven't thought of that movie in years until this post. I'm tempted to throw it on myself.

            Edit/update: I did just that. Quite enjoyed it.
