It’s an impressive sequence, shot by the returning Kleinman, until the weird dragons and the point at which it all starts resembling Gnarls Barkley’s Crazy video.

At one point, Bond shoots his own shadow, and inside him is a blood skull, neither of which is particularly subtle, but well composed nonetheless.

Adele opens the sequence by warbling, “This is the end.” The hand, which caught Robert Moore’s parachutist in The Man with The Golden Gun, is back, this time to drag 007 underwater. Skyfall, on the other hand, is one of the most referential Bond sequences, reflecting the sense of finality present throughout the film. Scratch that, this is definitely the fever dream Bond has before he wakes up in cold sweat. At one point he awakens gigantic slumbering women made out of sand, and falls down, Mad Men-style. It’s a fairly average sequence, with Bond in the desert. Quantum of Solace was the first Bond title sequence to be executed by the studio MK12 and the film’s director, Marc Forster. It’s Bond’s nightmare, in which the technological future assumes the form of his mortal enemy: women. Interestingly, this was the first Bond title sequence not feature 007 since Dr No. Similar to Binder, it updates the formula with CG women made of circuitry, which is as creepy as it sounds. GoldenEye was a transition sequence though, as Kleinman would unleash his creative vision with Tomorrow Never Dies, his best sequence. The music video is an early indicator of where Kleinman would take the Bond title sequences (the colour palette is very similar), but it also shows the same imaginative streak when it came to structure. Kleinman cut his teeth in music videos, and directed one of the best music videos of the 1980s, Big Love by Fleetwood Mac. This sequence is what Bond sees when his therapist makes him take a Rorschach test. Designed by Daniel Kleinman, it’s a much more colourful sequence than Binder’s usual stuff, and is literally crawling with naked women, who are destroying phallic symbols of communism.

Binder’s last sequence was License to Kill in 1989, arriving before Bond took a hiatus, returning in the form of dashing Irishman Pierce Brosnan in 1995.
