The Beach Boys surfing skit (California Girls) was in A View To A Kill during the pre-credits sequence when Roger Moore surfed away from the baddies at the South Pole on a single ski, then fell into a submarine disguised as an iceberg being piloted by Mary Stavin.
All of Brosnan's films had crap baddies in them. Sean Bean was nothing memorable (though Goldeneye is a good film), Jonathan Pryce was terrible, and Sophie Marceau and Robert Carlyle were completely forgettable. While Toby Stephens was at least memorable in Die Another Day, his baddie wasn't particularly bad. He just smirked a lot. The best Bond films are the ones with the best bad guys, and Brosnan's baddies weren't bad enough.
