The two Pierce Brosnan television commercials for Sagres Bohemia beer "recreate situations that could have been lifted from the films which made the actor famous, namely the movies from the James Bond saga," the Portuguese brewer Central de Cervejas said in an official statement.
Publicity for the two 2006 Portugese commercials stated they filmed at "the Abel Pereira da Fonseca Warehouse, the Palácio da Foz, the Four Seasons Hotel, the National Pantheon, the Sotto Mayor Palace, Quinta da Regaleira and the streets near the Port of Lisbon."
Pierce Brosnan had previously portrayed a professional thief in The Thomas Crown Affair (1999) which inspired the two TV adverts of which this is one.
