12 Things You Learn Rewatching Tomorrow Never Dies

7. M Gets Some Killer One-Liners

After Goldeneye introduced the new M (Judi Dench) and made her a wonderfully witty foil to 007, Tomorrow Never Dies amusingly builds on this by giving her many of the movie's most hilarious one-liners.

M's most memorable zinger, perhaps, is her response to Admiral Roebuck (Geoffrey Palmer) telling her she lacks the balls to get the job done: "The advantage is, I don't have to think with them all the time."

She also gets to hurl a wonderfully vulgar barb Bond's way, saying of his past relationship with Paris, "Remind her. Then pump her for information."

Dench once again plays it with exactly the right brand of deadpan hilarity, just as she always does.
