Tomorrow Never Dies (1997)

There's only one Bond movie. Simply pick any of 007's 17 outings and tick off the plot chunks. (1) The unrelated, pre-title sequence mission - Bond, a beautiful shag and a ballsy, death-defying chase. (2) The power- crazed megalomaniac, his henchman, assorted goons and the beautiful mistress. (3) Another big chase. (4) The female sidekick. (5) Yet another big chase, before the evildoer's secret hideout is revealed and his mistress falls for Bond. (6) Mistress then dies (poignantly, of course), the hideout is destroyed in a series of explosions (men fall over railings), and the bad guy is cornered and stopped. (7) Bond and the female sidekick kiss. The credits roll.
