Below I'm going to post the pre-titles sequence so you can judge.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The Bond Gunbarrel Logo rolls across the screen. The figure in the silhouette turns toward the camera and fires. Blood drips down the screen. Iris into:
EXT. THE CARRIBEAN SEA, JUST OF THE COAST OF PUERTO RICO - DAY
It was a beautiful day. The sun beat down on the water's surface, reflecting the light to an almost blinding ray. The cool breaze did not disturb the calmness of the water.
The silence is broken as a Hunter helicopter flies past the screen. The camera pans down to reveal that it is leading three motorboats and three jetskis.
The camera zooms about a mile and a half to the east to reveal a medium sized Cabin Cruiser resting in the middle of the sea.
The camera slowly pans around the cruiser.
BOND
(V.O)
I'm glad I put in for that vacation after all.
INT. CABIN CRUISER - SAME
The interior of the cabin cruiser is quite delightful. The rug is a crimson color and the walls and cabinets are made of bolivian wormwood. There is a pool table in the center and a tiny refrigerator on near the couch.
The local puerto rican radio station can be heard from a small radio that is build into the wall. On the couch, we see James Bond 007, dressed only in black and red swimming trunks, kissing a woman in a black two-piece bathing suite.
She has light brown hair and appears to be in her early thirties. The woman is Sara Mathison and she just happens to be Bond's new assistant.
BOND
If Moneypenny knew about this, she's
put me over her knee.
SARA
Well she's about ten-thousand miles
away right now so I wouldn't worry
about Moneypenny.
BOND
Curious that M didn't raise an eyebrow
at the fact that we both took the same
vacation times.
SARA
I'm starting to think that old woman is
going senile.
Bond walks to the wine cabinet and removes a Bollinger R.D. He pours it into two glasses. He walks back to the couch and gives the first glass to Ms. Mathison.
BOND
(Raising his glass)
Cheers.
SARA
(Raising her glass)
For Queen And Country, James.
EXT. CARRIBEAN SEA - A MILE AWAY - SAME
The Hunter, followed by the boats and jetskis continue on their coarse.
INT. CABIN CRUISER - SAME
Bond takes another sip of the Bollinger.
BOND
Ah... perfect.
They both go to take another sip of the drink when they are interupted by the sound of a helicopter approaching from the west.
SARA
(A bit worried)
James... what is that?
BOND
I'll check. Stay inside.
Bond hands her his glass. He runs to the pool table, picks up a pair of binoculars and runs up the stairs to the deck.
EXT. CABIN CRUISER - SAME
Bond looks through the binoculars.
BOND'S POV: Bond scans the surface from left to right. He quickly notices the the Hunter with the hunting group behind it.
Bond lowers the binoculars, trying to figure out his next move. He runs back down the stairs.
INT. CABIN CRUISER - SAME
He puts the binoculars down on the pool table.
SARA
(now, very worried)
James... what's going on?
BOND
(smiling)
Don't worry.
He grabs his walther from under the pool table and holsters it in the rear pocket of his swimming trunks.
He runs back up the stairs. Obviously nervous, she gulps down the drinks in both her hands.
EXT. CABIN CRUIER - SAME
Bond approaches the helm and turns the key, which was already in the ignition. He then presses a red button next to the ignition and a large gun, the size of a cannon, equiped with three rockets on each side rises out of the rear of the cruiser.
Bond runs up to the gun and immediatly takes control. The Hunter helicopter fires its machine guns at the cruiser but falls just short of the rear. Bond fires back with the giant gun, but the bullets just bounce off the Hunter's armor.
EXT. MOTOR BOAT #1- SAME
There are two men on the boat. The driver is a puerta rican man with a sub-machine gun in his right hand and the man behind him also puerta rican, but he holds a AK-47. He fires the gun at the Cruiser. The driver also fires his gun as he steers his boat.
EXT. CABIN CRUISER - SAME
The fire bounces off of the big gun, not harming Bond.
Bond aims at the first motorboat and fires one of the rockets from the side.
EXT. MOTORBOAT #1- SAME
The driver and the gunman see the rockets coming straigt for them. They both dive into the water and Bond's rockets destroys the boat.
One of the jetskis looses controls as it goes through the smoke and crashes into a piece of debri, launching him foward.
EXT. CABIN CRUISER - SAME
Bond, who is viciously firing away at the attackers, notices one of the jetskis get too close to the boat. He quickly takes out his walther from his back pocket and shoots the driver of the jetski right in the face.
Bond fires a rocket at another jetski, hitting the driver right in the chest, sending him flying backward.
EXT. MOTORBOAT #2 - SAME
The driver is a caucasian man with blonde hair. The man behind him is holding a huge rocket launcher. He loads the weapon, puts it over his shoulder and aims and then fires the rocket at Bond's cruiser.
EXT. CABIN CRUISER - SAME
Bond sees the rocket heading for the cruiser and quickly aims at it and shoots it, destroying it. He quickly re-positions the gun at motorboat #2 and fires
EXT. MOTORBOAT #2 - SAME
The fire from Bond's gun knocks off both the driver and the man behind him.
INT. HUNTER HELICOPTER- SAME
The pilot of the helicopter wears a large, red helmet with a hammer painted onto the forehead. He grabs the control stick and prepares to fire.
EXT. CABIN CRUISER - SAME
The fires hits rear of Bond's boat. A bullet ricochets off the gun and grazes Bond's forehead, leaving a bloody gash. Bond is so pre-occupied with the helicopter and remaining motorboat, he does not even notice that one of the assasins had climbed onto the side of the cruiser, off his jetski.
The man slowly sneeks up behind Bond and begins to strangle him. Bond struggles for air. He quickly elbow strikes the assasin in the stomach and then backhands him in the face, knocking him to the floor.
Bond picks the man up and jabs him right in the face, forcing the man back again. The assasin takes his knife out of the holder and begins to slash at Bond. Bond ducks and counters the slash with a knee to stomach.
Bond grabs the man and throws him into the sea.
INT. HUNTER HELICOPTER - SAME
The pilot positions the control stick and is preparing to launch a rocket at Bond's cruiser.
EXT. CABIN CRUISER - SAME
Bond positions the big gun toward the helicopter and fires two rockets at the war machine.
INT. HUNTER HELICOPTER - SAME
The pilot realizes that the rockets are heading for him and tries to manuever, but he is too late. The rockets destroy the helicopter, sending to remains to eternal rest in the sea.
The helicopter descends right onto the last motorboat, destroying it also.
EXT. CABIN CRUISER - SAME
Bond breaths a breath of relief.
BOND
Two birds with one stone...
Bond grabs his forehead, trying to ease the pain of his injury. After a couple of seconds, he heads back down the stairs.
INT. CABIN CRUISER - SAME
Sara sees James and jumps up to hug him.
SARA
Are you alright??!
BOND
Yes... I'm fine.
Bond grabs his cell phone from the pool table and dials a number.
BOND
(into phone)
This is 007. I'll report to HQ in
two days.
Bond puts the phone down and looks at Sara who is sitting on the coach.
EXT. CABIN CRUISER - SECONDS LATER
Bond grabs the key from the ignition and throws it into the sea. The camera pans up to the sun.
BOND
(V.O)
Now... where were we?
We hear Sara giggle and the sun transforms into the shape of a dancing woman, taking us into the main titles. It's filled with the usual arrangment of dancing women, but also sports cars and motorcycles, with fireworks in the backround
