Spectre opening scene was applauded for its continuous single shot and flawless editing. In it, Daniel Craig as Agent 007 carries out an untheorized mission in Mexico City on the 'Day of the Dead'. It starts with James Bond in disguise on the streets going inside a building. The camera follows him as he enters the hotel with a girl, who goes in with him into the lift and the room. The shot continues as Bond appears in his traditional agent suit while focusing on the women. Without any cut, it then follows James Bond as he walks on the roof sidewalk with a gun to eliminate his enemy. The scene cuts when he finds his target in a building in front of him.

Ahead, the scene shows Daniel Craig as James Bond, running on the busy street on the 'Day of the Dead'. He follows Marco Sciarra who was about to take off in his helicopter. Bond engages in a brawl with the baddie inside the chopper while it is in the air. After a lot of struggle, Agent 007 kicks Marco Sciarra out of the helicopter.
