I have no idea if either of us is right. We should consult an expert.
No, because it could happen in real life.The feeling you describe was the awful one I had when I first saw GE in theatre back in 95, and all throughout the Brosnan years: the line that Ian Fleming himself drew for the universe Bond inhabits (he said, "higly unlikely, not impossible") was crossed when Brosnan jumped off the mountain, sky dived by the plane, got in it and flew away.
CR is the Bond universe that Fleming envisioned. Hopefully it will remain as such.
I CRINGED when Brosnan did that "stunt" -- everything from the awful bluescreen to the fact that Brosnan looked back and forth, as though he were somehow able to control his descent like he WAS an airplane, made that scene campy. It's one of the reasons I still think "Goldeneye" is terribly overrated.
Regarding "Casino Royale," I had no problem with the tractor, other than the cheesy way the camera pans back and forth from Mollaka's point of view, as if he (and we) have no idea Bond will come crashing through the fence directly in front. Why wouldn't Bond be able to drive a tractor? If he's SAS or some other commando, surely he's versed in driving all sorts of vehicles, including tanks and tractors, I should think. It didn't quite feel like a Moore film because Craig looked so doggone serious in the scene . . . if anything, it felt more like something from Dalton's films, and in those, Bond was less of a superman.
