Top Ten Fights

1. Bond vs Grant FRWL
So tense, exciting, sweaty, nasty, and all without a music track, wonderfully gripping
2. Bond vs thug GF
The best PTS moment, even Bond looks like he's enjoying himself! "Shocking!"
3. Bond vs Peter Franks DAF
A tour de force of close-in fighting, this has a sense of realism about it, they actually look like they are getting hurt
4. Bond vs Chang MR
A noisy fun filled three minutes as the two fighters destroy a Veni-glass museum, splendidly jolly stuff
5. Bond vs Carver's thugs TND
A silent battle as Bond takes on a bunch of goons in a sound proof booth
6. Bond vs Jacques Bouvard TB
Connery prowls his victim like a cat; initially suprising as Bond punches a woman, then exciting and well choreographed, another great PTS
7. Bond vs the gatecrasher OHMSS
Bond destroys a hotel room try to subdue this interloper, Lazenby is suitably physical, the editing is a foretaste of QOS
8. Bond vs Necros TLD
A real high-light of the film with this gravity defying struggle at the back of a transporter plane
9. Bond vs Piz Gloria guard OHMSS
Short and sweet, Bond dispatches a guard with a kick and a punch before his escape, much more how Fleming painted Bond's fisticuffs!
10. Bond and Holly vs Jaws MR
No apologies, its in here simply because it looks fantastic and it's so outrageous, cable cars have never been the same for me since.

Comments
The Oddjob fight is okay, but a little silly (all those gold bars) and Bond kills him in the same manner he killed the thug in the PTS.
Bambi and Thumper? Without being rude, do me a favour, are they not rabbits? And all Bond has to do is dunk them in water to subdue them, they can't even swim. Pathetic.
Yea, but those hotpants went a long way towards increasing the entertainment factor. ;% Bambi was a deer BTW.
I liked the stories that came out of that Goldfinger fight- that Sakata sent Connery to the hospital with cracked ribs, and that he actually fell flat on his face in the death shot. The guy is still one of the most visually impressive of all the Bond villains.
