    Criminally under-rated. Some even stated the worst Bond movie, (Have they not seen DAD?). Great 007 film with many wonderful scenes, and beautifully shot!
    I will try not go with the obvious 3, the car chase, Tosca sequence, scenes with Mathis.
    1) Scaffolding fight. Really well done with genuine suspense (who will get to their gun first?)
    2) Plane scene where Greene first meets Greg Beam, great character, almost as slimy as Greene!
    3) Final scene with Yusef. You can see Bond struggling not to kill him!
    There are many great little moments in the film, Bond whipping the motorbike from under the villain, Bond skipping along the balcony after overcoming the agents in the lift, Bond instructing Camille how to kill someone, Fleming would have loved it!

    1. Opera sequence
    2. Bond and Camille walking through the desert and finding a bus back to town
    3. Bond encounters Slate and steals his jacket

    It is a Bond film that is better appreciated now than eight years ago, for sure. Poor Marc Forster: he had a vision, got screwed by the writers' strike, and never received much accolade for this effort.

    @00Agent
    I agree 100% on that desert scene

    "We have people everywhere"
    Slate fight
    Confronting Yusef (upon rewatching this scene again sometime back, this was the moment that made me realise how great Craig is as Bond).

    Giving Greene a can of oil was another terrific scene. Deliciously sadistic. Should have done that to Elektra.

    Someone mentioned it yesterday elsewhere, but I think it would've been great if we found out that he died from the oil and nothing else.

    Yes, he was shot, but they found oil in his stomach. Why were they doing an autopsy on him exactly? The death cause seemed pretty obvious.

    Also, drinking oil won t kill you, so that is good to know as I am from Norway. Cheers!

    I think being hot, dehydrated, and already injured and weak, coupled with him drinking that entire can, would've eventually led to his death. Good point on wondering why they would run an autopsy like that.

    You mean the bullets in themselves didn t kill him? If you are in good shape you can survive that? reminds me of Woody Allen in Casino Royale.

    No, I'm saying I think given all of the other circumstances, he would've eventually died out there in the desert if his men didn't find him and execute him first: injured, hot, dehydrated, with a belly that would've been inevitably filled with that whole can of oil.

    Any scene with Agent Fields in it.
    Rest of the film? I dunno...

    The can of oil was no doubt revenge for oil Fields.

    From what I could gather with all this shaky camera stuff and lightning fast editing (not to say a bottle and a half of Advil ):

    1-Camille vs Medrano fight
    2-Felix and Bond bar talk
    3-Mathis explaining Vesper's sacrifice to Bond

    1. White interrogated. While brief I really wanted this scene to develop more and I love how it was set up and shot.
    2. Mathis death scene. Shocking, because I really liked Mathis and his death was well done.
    3. The Opera Meeting. A clever set up for a modern villain meeting. I feel like it would have been intetesting to have met Guy Haines earlier in the film or even CR to add more of a surprise in the film. But then again, there were plenty of missed oputunities to expand on.

    1. Bond confronts Yusef (the story didn't make much sense, but the scene was good enough that didn't matter)
    2. Slate fight
    3. Tosca Shootout

    Honorable mentions: Plane scene, Bond leaves Greene to die.

    I can't believe this and SP feature the same Bond. Then again, you could say that about a bunch of movies.

    1. Plane sequence, its very Spectre.
    2. Opera scene, love these types of set pieces in a Bond Film.
    3. Car chase, full on action scene love the raw energy in this brilliant sequence.

    QoS has a fantastic score, the music in all the scenes is Arnold at his best.

    1:
    James Bond: [at a dirty, small motel] What are we doing?
    Strawberry Fields: We're teachers on sabbatical. This fits our cover.
    James Bond: No it doesn't. I'd rather stay at a morgue. Come on.
    [they go to a nicer hotel]
    James Bond: [to the hotel receptionist] Hello. We're teachers on sabbatical and we've just won the lottery.

    2:
    James Bond: [chucks a can of motor oil at Greene's feet] I bet you make it 20 miles before you consider drinking that.
    [Bond gets in the car and drives away, leaving Greene stranded in the middle of the desert]
    James Bond: Goodbye, Mr. Greene.

    3:
    The end sequence with Yusef, Corinne and M.

    Spot on! Couldn't have put it better myself.

    There are so many great scenes in QoS it's really hard to pick just three, and all those great scenes in such a short run time!

    A lean mean Bond film that has a nasty brutal Bond being the blunt instrument he's supposed to be!

    If I have to pick 3...

    PTS car chase
    Tosca
    M confronting Bond at the hotel
