Daniel Craig brought a vulnerability, compassion and a deeply human aspect to James Bond, when he stepped into the role in 2006's Casino Royale. The English actor portrayed 007 with an emotional touch grounded in physical realism. Craig's run of five Bond movies are as important to the franchise as earlier works by iconic actors Sean Connery, Roger Moore and Pierce Brosnan. The Craig-led James Bond pre-title sequences are among the best in franchise history with jaw-dropping stunts in exotic locations, notably Prague, Istanbul and Mexico City. The memorable opening scenes range from Bond earning his "00" status to a dazzling scene during the Day of the Dead celebration in Spectre. From Casino Royale to No Time to Die. Here is every Daniel Craig James Bond pre-title sequence, ranked. Quantum of Solace picks up moments after the end of Casino Royale. It opens in the middle of an action sequence with Bond furiously driving his Aston Martin while being chased around Lake Garda in Northern Italy. It's a breathtaking intro with a visceral high-speed car chase around lakeside roads and tunnels. The short sequence ends with Bond eliminating his enemy and driving his severely damaged car into Sienna, Italy. He pulls into a secret MI6 bunker, gets out of the car and opens the trunk, revealing a tied-up and bloody "Mr. White," played by Jesper Christensen, who Bond shot and captured at the end of Casino Royale. "White" is an important character who has a hand in each of Craig's 007 movies as the head of the SPECTRE offshoot Quantum and the troubled father of "Madeleine Swann," who is introduced in the 2015 movie Spectre. Casino Royale marks Daniel Craig's first time playing the iconic role of James Bond. The opening sequence takes place in Prague and is meticulously shot in black and white. It shows Bond making his first two kills, earning the "00" moniker. It's a gritty and violent scene that debuts a new Bond for a new generation. It's among the shortest opening scenes in Bond history but packs a punch, wasting no time introducing a new Bond who will do anything to get the job done. Casino Royale is among the most important Bond movies of all time. Daniel Craig reinvigorated the series with an imperfect, morally conflicted, and incredibly professional portrayal of 007. His five-movie character arc is full of emotional vulnerability, violent physical altercations and a lot of heartbreak. At over 23 minutes, the opening sequence to No Time to Die is a mini-movie and by far the longest pre-title scene in the franchise's run. It sets up the plot of Craig's final Bond movie with a flashback to a young "Madeleine Swann" and her encounter with the villain "Safin", played brilliantly by Rami Malek, leading to the greatest jump scare in 007 history. It lifts a veil into Swann's mysterious past and foreshadows her complicated future. No Time To Die's opening scene features a few homages to previous movies, including the classic Aston Martin DB5, which catches more bullets than you can count during the high-speed car chase through the stunning city of Matera, Italy. Bond survives a graveside explosion and jumping off a bridge, before avoiding capture after being surrounded by SPECTRE agents in his high-tech Aston Martin. The expanded sequence has a heartbreaking ending as Bond and "Swann," played by Léa Seydoux, part ways after they escape to a train station. Spectre features one of the largest opening sequences in the history of Bond movies. The Day of the Dead scene in Mexico City features thousands of actors and extras to create the colorful and vibrant setting for the film. The first four minutes of the sequence is an immersive tracking shot that follows Bond through the parade to a rooftop to spy on terrorists planning to destroy a stadium. Sam Mendes does a masterful job directing the huge and ambitious scene. It's full of intense action and great moments, including a collapsing building nearly falling on Bond and a beautifully shot helicopter fight sequence, above a large square in Mexico City. 007 survives a brutal fight on board the chopper and casually flies away from the action after defeating the pilot and a high ranking member of SPECTRE.
