From Famke Janssen's dashing introduction driving a luxurious red Ferrari through the mountain roads of Monaco in GoldenEye to Halle Berry coming out of the tropical waters of Cuba in Die Another Day, the women Pierce Brosnan came across throughout his James Bond stint were fascinating: a combination of beauty, brains, romance and elegance perfectly in tune with the world changes seen through the 1990s and the new millennium. Straight Up, With A Twist celebrates them while making a comprehensive analysis of their relationship with 007 and the world surrounding them. Survival, ambition, lust, revenge and female empowerment are just some topics brought to discussion in this study of the women that tried to love, kiss or kill the fifth official Bond in films and video games.
