The Best Bond Action Sequences Ever

thebondlover

hi, Bond is not just about the hottest Babes, the movies also show some of the best action scenes ever put on film. There is a list with the best 9 Sequences on

My favourite one is Little Nelly`s fight in You Only Live Twice. I just love this little helicopter.

Some sequences that come to mind are:

1) The PTS on Gibraltar intoducing Dalton in TLD
2) The PTS with the parachuteless jump by Moore (LALD?)
3) Bond-Grant battle on train in FRWL
4) PTS in TND
5) Goldfinger PTS and Bond near escape in Aston Martin

Barry Nelson

Some odd choices in the article if you ask me, but each to their own. Two that they mention I agree with, the TSWLM PTS and Little Nellie. Some others that I think are worthy of mentioning, are the TWINE PTS, Gypsy fight in FRWL, the fuel tanker trucks in LTK and the climatic battle in YOLT complete with rappeling ninjas to name a few.

It was MR.

I think it's an interesting list however IMO two great action scenes, which should have made the list but didn't, were the train fight in FRWL and the remote controlled car chase in TND. Add to that the elevator fight in DAF, the fight with Odjob and the PTS in GF, the first (and IMO best) skiing chase in OHMSS and there are countless action scenes that could have made the list.

Ooh, best action... there are quite a few! TND PTS, TND car chase, FYEO car chase, FYEO ski chase, the entire OHMSS escape-from-Piz-Gloria chapter, the GoldenEye tank chase, TLD pre-titles, TLD cargo net fight, Moonraker sky diving, Casino Royale crane chase, LTK tankers... take your pick, really!

Much as there are way too many beautiful Bond girls to choose from, there are way too many to great action sequences to savor as well.

A recent one that does stand out for me though is Brosnan's and Bean's fistfight at the end of GE. It had been a long Bond and the main baddie duked it out mano a mano and I enjoyed the return to that physical hands on approach. Given the personal history between the two of them, it also seemed appropriate to end it that way.

Good call, Tony. I'm not a great fab of GE, but that sequence is really good.

Another sequence I have always enjoyed is Koskov's recapture from the safehouse in TLD. From Necros's ingenious one-man infiltration to the superbly-choreographed kitchen fight, this is a real winner.

I would have to agree with Sir Hillary and Tony with the fight between Bond and Trevelyan. Another one of my favorite action scenes is the tank chase through downtown (brain fart on the name of the city) in GE.

Thomas Crown

I would urge anyone interested to watch the 007 stunts documentary on The Man With The Golden Gun DVD if you're really into the action of Bond.

My five favorites for what its worth:

1. The Bond/Grant train fight: From Russia With Love
2. The Bond/Graves sword fight: Die Another Day
3. The free running sequence: Casino Royale
4. The opening sequence to GoldenEye
5. The tanker sequence in Licence To Kill

Honorable mentions go to the opening of The Spy Who Loved Me, The Living Daylights, and the escape from the Bankers office in The World Is Not Enough

The best action sequences are always the battles at the end with tons of oddly uniformed henchmen getting blased away by Bond with a small army of American/British soldiers by his side. My favorite is the Liparus battle in TSWLM.
