The 007 Best Bond Movie Stunts
Nov. 11 10:43 AM by OMGLists Team


Bond films are famous for their action sequences, most of which
require grueling stunt work. Here are the seven best single stunts
that were all done by actual humans with no tricks or the benefit of
CGI.

7- Diamonds are Forever



Sean Connery was paid a gigantic sum of money to play Bond after he
left the role following You Only Live Twice; too bad Diamonds Are
Forever couldn't have been better. However, the movie did have a
sweet stunt where Bond ramps his Mustang on two wheels in order to
escape police in Las Vegas. This same stunt was done, but with a
tanker truck, in License to Kill.

6- Live and Let Die



Fleeing pursuers in a speedboat in Louisiana, Bond (Roger Moore)
jumps his boat 110 feet over a police car, setting a world
record...actually; it was the stunt driver who made Guinness.

5- GoldenEye



The Bond pre-credit sequences are always a treat, but the opener for
GoldenEye set a world record, as a stuntman bungee dropped more than
722 feet from the top of a dam. The freefall will keep you on the
edge of your seat.

4- For Your Eyes Only



Bond (Moore) rock climbs to the top of a monastery perched on the top
of a narrow cliff, only to be kicked off by a bad guy. What follows
is a lengthy, breathtaking free-fall until Bond--literally--reaches
the end of his climbing rope.

3- License to Kill



During the climactic tanker truck chase, Bond (Timothy Dalton) ramps
his 18 wheeler on one set of wheels to avoid a stinger missile. He
then sets it down on all tires, crushing a vehicle driven by
Sanchez's henchmen in the process.

2- The Spy Who Loved Me



The best of the Roger Moore Bond films, The Spy Who Loved Me's pre-
credit ski chase sequence ended with stuntman Rick Sylvester skiing
off the side of a cliff and then parachuting to safety. This scene
provided one of my most memorable movie-going experiences when Spy
opened in theatres, as the audience went crazy when the Union Jack
parachute opened.

1- The Man With the Golden Gun



An otherwise mundane car chase Between Bond (Moore) and Scaramanga
(Christopher Lee) on the streets of Thailand is capped with an eye-
popping jump where Bond's car spins 360 degrees as if it were driving
on a corkscrew...no, it wasn't a miniature shot, nor GC. Too bad the
stunt is accompanied by a cartoonish sound effect.
