Part three of the Film Reroll 007 trilogy. Based on the 1997 Bond movie.
James Bond (Pierce Brosnan, played by Kara Straitnote ,) has infiltrated an international terrorist ring under a cover identity, and has managed to uncover an underground weapons market, which his superiors are getting ready to perform an airstrike on. Preparing his escape, Bond notices that one of the planes is carrying a pair of nuclear weapons powerful enough that, if they were to be triggered by the imminent explosion, could cause an ecological disaster worse than Chernobyl. Now Bond has to fight and fool his way to the plane and get away before the missiles arrive. Will he succeed? Or will his desperate plan blow up in his face?
James Bond will return in "The Mummy"- wait.
Tropes:
- Bavarian Fire Drill: Bond deals with some Mooks by angrily barking orders at them in Russian. Subverted in that they don't obey his commands immediately, but they are sufficiently confused by them that it allows Bond to make a getaway.
- Bittersweet Ending: Bond succeeds in his mission and the bad guys all die, but sadly, so does Bond.
- Enemy Mine: Henry Gupta, an American terrorist, actually teams up with Bond even after figuring out who he is, because he knows that the agent is his only chance of surviving the airstrike. Unfortunately for him, this is ultimately not enough to save his skin.
- Foreshadowing: A tragic, unintentional example. The first two segments of the episode both feature pilots dying behind their controls. In this segment, that ends up being Bond's ultimate fate, as well.
- Heroic Sacrifice: Bond uses his last moments of consciousness to drive his plane off the mountaintop, killing himself but also preventing the onboard nukes from exploding.
- Master Actor: Kara Strait is the reroller to play Bond the most like an actual secret agent, operating under numerous cover identities, relying mostly on manipulation and trickery and only using brute force and violence as a last resort.
- O.C. Stand-in: Henry Gupta — Bond's unlikely ally — is essentially this, as the terrorists in the film had basically no individual traits.
- Poor Communication Kills: An unusually literal example. Bond's inability to make contact with his allies' naval vehicle or the terrorists' gun turrets is what ultimately leads to his death.
- Protagonist-Centered Morality: The players call out Bond's superiors for their (successful) plan to blow all the villains up without a trial.
- Rule of Three: Yet another pilot dies behind the controls of their aircraft. Unfortunately, this time the pilot was Bond.
- Sure, Let's Go with That: When Bond is talking in private with Gupta, Paulo accidentally slips up and addresses Bond by his name (as he was using an alias during their conversation). Rather than walk it back, it's decided that Gupta managed to figure out Bond's identity during their conversation, something Bond rolls with.
- Tuckerization: Bond's alias, Gregory Winters, is — aside from sounding badass and appropriate for the snowy setting — also the name of one of the show's Patreon supporters.
