Casino Royale is easily in the running for the best 007 film, but its sequel, Quantum of Solace, was kneecapped by the Writer’s Strike and the baffling decision to edit the action sequences as if the Jason Bourne films snorted waaay too much cocaine. However, it does give Bond some nice resolution with Vesper’s betrayal and lays some solid groundwork with Mr White and the mysterious organization he works for that pays off in Spectre and No Time to Die (both of which are now much better thanks to the stellar fan editing work of StraightCutsNoChaser)
So, I’ve trimmed down Quantum of Solace to its prologue and epilogue, cutting out Roman Polanski and the whole underwhelming water scheme entirely. Now, we get the sequence in Italy, Mr. White’s interrogation and escape, then Bond tracking down Vesper’s “dead” boyfriend. All in under 20 minutes. Optional English subtitles have been provided, along with an adaptation of the original Ian Fleming novel that combines it with elements from the film.
If you already have the link to my edits, great, but if you’d like one, please start a PRIVATE CHAT with me and I’ll give it to you. Thanks!
