: The movie’s plot—a media mogul manipulating global news and using GPS spoofing to start a war—was seen as a bit far-fetched in 1997. Today, it’s often cited as one of the most prophetic Bond films regarding information warfare and "fake news".

: In the iconic motorcycle chase, director Roger Spottiswoode took Pierce Brosnan and Michelle Yeoh aside separately. He told both of them not to let the other person drive. That natural tension and "fighting" over the handlebars you see on screen was genuine.

If you’re looking at that specific file— ( Tomorrow Never Dies , 1997)—you’re diving into what many fans consider the peak of Pierce Brosnan’s high-octane, "gadget-heavy" era as James Bond.

: Despite being a box-office hit, the production was notoriously chaotic. The script wasn't actually finished when filming began. Sir Anthony Hopkins was even cast as the villain, Elliot Carver, but he famously walked off set after just three days because he couldn’t stand the constant script changes.

: This was the first movie where Bond swapped his classic Walther PPK for the more modern Walther P99 . Sales of the P99 reportedly skyrocketed after the film’s release.

: The film’s title was originally supposed to be Tomorrow Never Lies —a nod to the villain’s newspaper, Tomorrow . A typo on a script draft changed "Lies" to "Dies," and the producers loved it so much they kept it.

: Tomorrow Never Dies was the only one of Brosnan’s Bond films not to open at #1. Why? It had the "bad luck" of opening on the exact same day as James Cameron’s Titanic .
