The first time your jaw LITERALLY dropped during a Bond movie?

I think my first Bond experience was Goldfinger on TV, heavily edited, of course. Oddjob killing Tilly nearly did it, but not quite. Next up was DAF in the theatre, I liked it a lot, but no real Jaw-drop there.
Then (I was 13 by now) I saw a Bond triple feature in the theatre (DN, FRWL, GF), and in Dr. No, when Bond said "You've had your six" and then SHOOTS the dude, and then AGAIN after he's down, well, THAT was my first serious jaw drop. Mouth totally open.

Can you remember what YOURS was? B-)

Never. To be honest, I find the Bond films too safe and conservative to have any real jaw dropping moments. And I'm not sure my jaw has ever "literally" dropped from anything.

I remember watching Moonraker's PTS, thinking how do they come up
with these stunts.

But I think you're being sarcastic here, right?

No, especially since it was probably my mother.
Seriously, do people's jaws ever literally drop? I've seen people open their mouth slightly when shocked or surprised, but that's about it. Based on my experience, I tend to think literal jaw drops are confined to cartoons or as a result of being punched really hard.

Figuratively? Probably when Bond goes into space in Moonraker, and again when they actually start firing lasers.
Die Another Day opening and big surfing scenes. Also, Halle Berry's character shooting the doctor. When Bond or any hero for that matter kills. Usually they are attacked first. Jinx has some line about appreciating artists when they are dead and shoots the guy cold. I don't think Bond himself has ever had a more cold killing.
Quantum of Solace. The elevator scene straight from Die Hard 3 and the Moonraker rip off parachute scene.
remember seeing this and thinking;
"nah he's not gonna...... surely that's way too...... oh that's a bit hi... oh jesus...... FOOOK ME THATS A LONG WAY DOWN!!"
