-legendary THX intro (loved it since I was a kid)
-United Artists intro (I so miss this in the new Bond films)
-one of the best gunbarrel intros and compositions (imho)
-an awesome opening sequence and jump (I can never tire of this PTS)
-the introduction of a new Bond actor (always an iconic moment, even if he's unfortunately upside down in a toilet in this case)
-The superb Goldeneye Overture in the background
-the late Gottfried John's excellent exaggerated acting and delivery as Colonel Ouromov
-Finally, we have the privilege of seeing Sean Bean overdoing an accent
I have no idea about the differences between the Laserdisc and others, but thanks for posting this sequence. Thoroughly enjoyed it!
I own Goldeneye in several formats but it suprised me this wasn't on youtube before.

Very cool to see the laser transfer. The color timing in the earlier laser was pretty much the same as the VHS. I had the VHS in widescreen and pan and scan and watched them both dozens of times. I also saw GE in the cinema around 12 times as well
I personally prefer the colors on the laser as opposed to the Lowery remaster of 2006. Slightly brighter than the cinema prints (especially the gun barrel blood). But far truer in tint and hue to the way the film looked on screen.
I have yet to get the Blu ray. I wonder, of all formats, which might be the definitive transfer of GoldenEye?
I noticed that, too, the clearer sound had me tuning out and watching a good bit of the movie before I even realized how much time had passed.
By the way I'm pretty curious how that widescreen VHS version looks.
Is it framed the same as the dvd or cropped?
Do you still have it and could you rip it?
High Definition in the home was first found on VHS, it was called D-VHS.
I truly don't think there's yet been a perfect home video transfer of GE. The Ultimate Edition was cropped on all sides, and even the Blu Ray is slightly cropped on the sides at an approx. aspect ratio of 2.35:1 rather than 2.39:1. Play CR straight after (or any of the Craig films) and you'll see what I mean, they're presented slightly wider. The Blu Ray has lots of digital enhancement issues which has wiped away a lot of the film grain, losing detail in the process.
I don't have it anymore unfortunately. It was pretty much the same as the early DVD. Similar farming to the SE.
Orignal SE DVD:
Blu Ray:
Generally speaking laserdiscs have better audio quality than their DVD counterparts.
Yes you are right, the Blu Ray has more width than the SE DVD. You can notice it on the title sequence too. Although the Blu Ray is still missing a sliver of information on both sides of the frame.
I'm very curious about that 4k version of Goldeneye that is now in theatres. I hope that it gets released soon. I've done numerous comparisons between the Blu Ray and the teaser/theatrical trailers on youtube and noticed there's much more picture information there than shown on any other release of the film.
It's from 2015 they were screening Bond movies in 4k at vue cinemas.
Really? They cropped the Blu-ray? I never knew that.
Yes. I have a projector with an 118" image. CR is presented in its full 2.40:1 aspect ratio, when viewed on a 2.35:1 screen this still has tiny letterboxing borders. The GE Blu ray is presented in 2.35:1 rather than its cinematic 2.40:1 equivalent - thereby completely filling a 2.35:1 screen - the missing info is slight in that framing, although as has been mentioned there is still some cropping going on on the left of the frame.
Also, make sure your TV isn't overscanning to get all the info that is presented on the disc.
