The boat chase took seven weeks to shoot, as the river Thames' nine-mile-per-hour boat speed limit had to be factored in. The filming of the boat chase sequence was broadcast live over the Internet, via webcams set up at specific points over the Thames. The scene was not originally intended to be part of the opening sequence, until test audiences said that the jump-from-the-window opener was anti-climactic. As such, it was brought forward, and had to be shortened. As it is now, this fourteen to fifteen minute opener, is one of the longest pre-credits sequence in a James Bond movie. After being the longest for about twenty-two years, it now places second to the pre-titles sequence in No Time to Die (2021), which runs for about twenty minutes.
