As far as I'm concerned there hadn't been a fight scene with silhouettes in a Bond film.
Lots of naked ladies but no Bond fights (unless Thunderball's underwater sequence counts and maybe the spear guns shot in the titles and or I'm misremembering), so in effect, it could be that Kill Bill's silhouette fight influenced the direction of the Skyfall fight.
ah, now I got it, Bond-films are themselves influenced by other films.
But that scene in Kill Bill could have been influenced by typical Maurice Binder opening credits. Those are highly influential. Everything in Tarantino is a clever reference to some past influence he loves, the low-er-brow the better ... the low-brow-er... ahem, the more low-brow the better. I bet there are lots of James Bond references in his films for us to find. there were Superman references in Kill Bill, and not just in that never-ending closing monolog.

Exactly.
If we crossed over there, North By Northwest influenced the From Russia With Love helicopter scenes and so on and so forth.
It never ends, does it?
Maybe one moonlit, summer night I may go on the hunt for those. (Tarantino films, I mean)
Back to Neon Genesis Evangelion, the main action theme is very reminiscent of "007" or "007 Takes The Lektor" from "From Russia With Love".
If not, at least it's highly influenced by it. The main melody is different but it is there. https://youtu.be/PkBs4qI1bb4?t=2m51s
Still, it's a great rendition of one of the series's best action themes.
There's an old Morecambe and Wise film " That Rivera touch"
In one scene several cars are seen driving off an airplane, the
first two cars are a Rolls Royce followed by an Aston Martin.
I've always believed this to be an in joke about Goldfinger, which
Would have been released just a few years earlier.
"I've been informed that there ARE a couple of QAnon supporters who are fairly regular posters in AJB."
Watched The Rat Race (2001) last night and there’s a car chase scene where they bust into a monster truck arena and find themselves as part of the action. Pure nonsense comedy, but it reminded me of the stock car race in OHMSS.

From "The Pink Panther" (2006). Unfortunately someone has dubbed over Clive Owen's line where he says he's 006 (thus ruining the joke). Note the Cubby Broccoli lookalike at about 28 seconds in, admiring Owen's drink.
And the next new female led action comedy up is "The Spy Who Dumped Me"...no seriously, that's the title. A few Bond references in the trailer - an obvious one is the Bond style title sequence at the start.
While realizing this is an old thread, the wife and I just watched "The Spy Who Dumped Me" tonight and I thought it was a lot better film than I was willing to give it credit for initially.
Also, after watching it and seeing Sam Heughan's performance, we, the wife and I, think he'd make an excellent Bond. Additionally, he does do action sequences very well and makes them quite believable.
He is Scottish and my wife thought he looked very dashing in a tuxedo as well. She is usually an excellent judge of most things, except of course, she did make the decision to marry me. So, aside from that obvious faux pas, she is an excellent judge of these things.

If you want to get a little more...specific (even if you don't need to), go right ahead.

look like it gained strong inspiration from this memorable, thrilling Bond moment?

That's an interesting thought, if I do say so myself.
Again, on Episode 9 of Neon Genesis Evangelion, there is FOR YOUR EYES ONLY on the Nerv documents.
Shame it wasn't stamped.

Nice catch, TP.
