Lots of James Bond 'science' horseshit


Let me direct your attention to what I feel is the single most mind-blowingly infuriating scene in any James Bond movie. I give you the final fight in The World is Not Enough.

If you haven't seen that steaming pile of crap, let me describe this utterly stupid scene for you:

James Bond and Big Badguy's Henchman duke it out in the nuclear reactor of a sinking submarine. Now I know what you're thinking. "Surely Jerks means that they are dueling in the control room or engine room, not inside the reactor itself." No, what I mean is that at one point, these two are hitting each other with fuel rods they pulled out of the operational reactor with their bare hands.

Despite the absurdity, it doesn't bother me much because it's a Bond movie, and you could spend 10 days listing all the incredibly absurd Bond movie plot devices.


Agreed, but some of the Bond films are particularly egregious. In fact, you should check out IMDB's goofs page for The World is Not Enough. It's two loving pages long, single-spaced. My personal favorite notation:

Factual errors: Numerous scientific liberties taken regarding radioactive substances and nuclear reactors.

That's like saying Dawn of the Dead contains numerous liberties regarding the actions a dead person can take.
