THE WORLD IS NOT ENOUGH opens with the longest pre-credit sequence in 007 history, lasting 14 minutes and features James Bond (Pierce Brosnan) in the Q Boat in high speed pursuit down the River Thames in London.

Captured by six different cameras, the boat’s mid-air barrel roll was performed by stuntman Gary Powell using Vickers air mortars attached to the side of the boat. The Q Boat is a custom-built vehicle with a V8 engine offering up 300bhp, designed by engineer and boat builder, Doug Riddle.

THE WORLD IS NOT ENOUGH premiered in 1999 and was directed by Michael Apted with Desmond Llewelyn as Q, as seen in this scene.
