History Awesome / TheWorldIsNotEnough

* One has to give credit to Dr. Christmas Jones for being able to disarm a nuclear bomb while travelling at high speed in a pipeline inspection rig. Even though the bomb was never nuclear, [[HowDidYouKnowIDidnt she didn't know that when she volunteered.]]
** Christmas is actually a pretty adequate character who suffers far more from being underplayed by her actress[[note]]Then again, Denise Richards might not have been given the best material to work with[[/note]] --she never waits for Bond to rescue her in the nuclear site and rigs a mechanism herself, and mostly holds her own during the action sequences. Not once does she turn into any kind of dimwitted ScreamingWoman.

* M manipulating Elektra so give her access to a clock with batteries, which is promptly used to {{MacGyver|ing}} a GPS signal once Elektra and her bodyguard Gabor are out of sight, making it possible for Bond, Christmas and Zukovsky to locate her.

** One for a ''{{mook}}'' in a James Bond movie, of all people. One of the Parahawks chasing Bond falls off a cliff. Bond then quips "See you back at the lodge" as he watches the Parahawk falls, only to see him open a spare parachute and rejoin the fight. Bond is not amused at all. A mere Mook denied James Bond himself his [[BondOneLiner One-Liner]]. Possibly the first time and the only time it happened.

-->'''Bullion:''' Boss! You're alive! I'm so glad to see you!
-->'''Zukovsky:''' Me too! ''(coldly shoots Bullion with his machine gun)''

--> "No hard feelings, Mister Bond, but we're even. Soon, you'll feel nothing at all".
--> The elevator goes up as Renard points down to a bomb that's just started ticking.

-->'''Christmas:''' So you're a British spy. Do you have a name?
-->'''Bond:''' The name's Bond. ''[Elevator shoots upwards [[ThemeMusicPowerUp while the Bond Theme blares triumphantly]]]'' James Bond.

--> '''Elektra:''' You wouldn't kill me. You'd miss me.
--> '''Renard:''' ''(On the phone)'' Yes?
--> '''Elektra:''' .....''DIVE, Bond...'' ''(Bond shoots her dead)''
--> '''Bond:''' I never miss.
