Part 6/9:
Despite having its fair share of intense combat, including a brutal final showdown at the Janus satellite dish, director Campbell drew inspiration from earlier Bond films, notably the fight aboard the Orient Express in From Russia with Love. Brosnan and Bean performed many of their stunts, though Brosnan sustained a hand injury during filming, necessitating the use of his son, Christopher, for close-up shots.
Commercial Success and Musical Score
With a robust budget of about $60 million, GoldenEye grossed over $350 million worldwide, marking a triumphant return for the franchise. Meanwhile, French composer Éric Serra provided an electronic score that divided fans—encouraging producers to also hire John Altman for traditional orchestral pieces for several key scenes.
