From skiing to submarines to speedboats, these are the best James Bond stunts, The best James Bond stunts are celebrations of the craft of filmmaking. Although the long-running franchise hasn’t always won critical acclaim for its storytelling, its spectacular set-pieces have long set the gold...
It’s all downhill from here… (On Her Majesty’s Secret Service), Seeing as many regard Sean Connery as the definitive 007, it’s remarkable that none of our best Bond stunts are taken from his original five-movie run. If the franchise’s priorities were different in the early '60s, however, we got a...
Mustang alley (Diamonds are Forever), With the Las Vegas police department in hot pursuit, Bond realizes that the alley ahead isn’t wide enough for his Ford Mustang muscle car, and asks passenger Tiffany Case to move to one side. The reason? He’s trying to weight the car so he can drive it on two...
The rig jump (Diamonds are Forever), If Blofeld swapping You Only Live Twice’s colossal volcano lair for a mere oil platform feels like a disappointing lack of ambition, you can’t fault Bond’s exit. Impeccably dressed in a three-piece suit, Sean Connery’s 007 realizes that the only way out is...
Speedboat jump (Live and Let Die), Here, Bond does a runner in a speedboat through the picturesque surroundings of the Louisiana Bayou. With a spit of land (and Sheriff JW Pepper) rapidly approaching, 007 accelerates and launches the boat into the air, making a safe landing on the other side....
Nice roll, shame about the whistle (The Man with the Golden Gun), One of the most contrived stunts in Bond history is also one of the most impressive. The nearest bridge is two miles away when 007 and his unlikely passenger, the vacationing Sheriff JW Pepper, need to continue their pursuit of...
The Union Jack parachute (The Spy Who Loved Me), While unconvincing greenscreen work means you never quite believe a yellow-jumpsuited Roger Moore is skiing for his life, it’s worth it for the pay-off at the end of this pre-credits sequence. As Bond runs out of slope, it turns out that flying off...
Flying without wings (Moonraker), If The Spy Who Loved Me’s best James Bond stunt was made possible by the surprising introduction of a parachute, Moonraker’s is based around the lack of one. When Bond takes an involuntary tumble from a plane without protection, he dives after another skydiver,...
Winter sports (For Your Eyes Only), Don’t be fooled by the slapstick tone of For Your Eyes Only’s ski chase sequence – the scene features some of the best James Bond stunt work there is. So while 007’s close encounters with ski schools and a family’s al fresco dining overplay the comedy somewhat,...
Climb every mountain (For Your Eyes Only), You know that feeling when you’ve just spent ages scaling a massive vertical rockface, only to be kicked in the face when you reach the top? James Bond does, and he’s left hoping his safety ropes are well secured when he’s left dangling in mid-air,...
The day he caught the train (Octopussy), Bond works through an entire repertoire of steam train-based action in this East Germany-set sequence. The long-shots showcase death-defying leaps between carriages, jumps over obstacles, and Bond hanging precariously from the side of a carriage. In fact –...
May Day in Paris (A View to a Kill), It’s a rarity when the best Bond stunt in a movie isn’t given to 007 himself. In Roger Moore’s final outing in the famous tuxedo, however, Grace Jones’s May Day gets the showstopping moment, fearlessly base jumping from the top of the Eiffel Tower before...
A lift on an blimp (A View to a Kill), When it comes to getaway vehicles, they don’t come more ridiculous than Max Zorin’s airship – it’s huge, painfully slow, and has his name written across the side in massive letters. Throw in the fact that geologist Stacey Sutton is stupid enough to miss a...
You keep me hanging on (The Living Daylights), An inexperienced pilot, an assassin, and a ticking timebomb on board… This isn’t a good flight for 007 to have boarded, and things get worse when he ends up scrapping with bad guy Necros while clinging to a cargo net dangling out the back of the...
Keep on truckin’ (Licence to Kill), It’s a case of planes, trucks, and automobiles, as Licence to Kill’s biggest set-piece plays around with all the toys. After an aerial drop-off, Bond commandeers an oil tanker, runs another lorry off the road, and evades a missile by riding up on two wheels –...
That dam bungee jump (GoldenEye), 007 had been away for six years when an audacious leap from the top of a 720-
