I adore that scene, a friend of mine was telling me about the scene once, without realising that it was from a Bond movie.
Connery is terrific in that film, and in that scene...cheers for bringing it to my attention.

4. Bond's assassination of Professor Dent in Dr No
5. Bond getting a grilling from M in Goldfinger: "This isn't a personal vendetta, 007. It's an assignment like any other, and if you can't treat it as such, coldly and objectively, then 008 can replace you."

Dalton's first reveal in TLD
TLD: The training exercise, Bond at his finest, even gets laid at the end.
TLD: The Aston Martin chase-"We've nothing to declare." Kara is priceless throughout as Bond's option extras become more and more extreme. Dalton gives a great delivery of "I've had a few optional extras installed." I also like his determined look right before he drives into the ice fishing shack.
TLD: barely missing the incoming Russian plane. "Come ON...COME ON!!!!" Final battle with Necros a classic.
LTK: Bond hooks Sanchez plane while the James Bond theme thunders in the background. Final parachute jump rocks.
LTK: The waterski behind the plane, again to the James Bond theme. Epic stuff.
LTK: Sideways tanker truck, Dalton's determined smile as he lines up on the Jeep to destroy it.
LTK: Pam dunking Perez and the guys with cropdust.
LTK: The semi wheelie. Yes, it's unbelievable, but the stunt, with the driving James Bond theme under it, is a classic bond stunt.

So does England!
Good one! One of my favorite parts of the film
" I don't listen to hip hop!"
The entire Q boat sequence from TWINE. Mr Brosnan plays the determination of the chase ver well, plus that barrel roll of the Q boat over the cruiser!
The crane jump in CR-06. The whole sequence is an eye opener, but that bit is dizzying.
Ditto the torture scene - pure Flemming.
All the cool Ninga sequences in YOLT. Little Nellie! Including Q's frustration at Bond, and indignation at Tanaka.
M's disapointment with the coffee machine in LALD. A harassed Felix trying to calm Mr Bleaker while Bond chats with his tailor!
Bond's fight sequences with Xenia Onnatop. Ms Janssen is a very sexy lady, even in killer mode!
The "cool mad vehcile" fight scenes, such as the original Aston DB5, Little Nellie, The Boatus, The Q Boat, Neptune, and Moon's hovercraft..
Uber set pieces such as the Spectre Volcano, Scaramanga's power plant, Atlantis, Drax's space station. The Ice Palace through to interiors like M's Office the various Q labs and the recent MI6 operations room in SF.
