Best action scene in each Bond movie?

Number24Number24 NorwayPosts: 21,701MI6 Agent
I thougth we could post and discuss here what action scenes we think is the best in the individual Bond movies here. I'm not going to make a complete list now, but feel free to post entire lists whenever you want :007)
Now I'll just pick scenes in the Bonds I've watched most recently.

LTK: The underwater-on the water- in the air scene with the waterskiing
CR: The freerunning chase with the crane jumps.
TSWLM: The ski chase ending in the famous jump and the Union Jack parachute.

    Funny how this is a subject that doesn't seem to come up that often and yet they're action movies! :)

    I might go:

    DN: Tough, because there's not really much action in it, but I'd have to go for the climax with Bond escaping the lair
    FRWL: Train fight
    GF: Oddjob fight
    TB: Bond's break in to rescue Paula
    YOLT: Fight and escape from Osako's office
    OHMSS: Ski chase
    LALD: Boat chase
    TMWTGG: Car chase
    TSWLM: Lotus chase
    MR: Parachute scene
    FYEO: 2CV chase, although the ski chase is a probably a tie
    OP: Climax on Khan's plane
    AVTAK: Climax on the bridge
    TLD: Aston chase
    LTK: Tanker chase
    GE: Tank chase
    TND: Another tie: the PTS/BMW chase
    TWINE: Boat chase
    DAD: Sword fight
    CR: Parkour chase
    QoS: Rooftop chase
    SF: PTS chase
    SP: Train fight

    And of those I'd have to put the FYEO and TND ones pretty high up the list of best ever, maybe joined by SF's PTS, LTK's tanker chase and MR's parachuting scene.

    This is hard. Usually, I'd give this a ton of thought but just to stop thinking, here goes:

    DN - tough one as the action is very slight, Bond kills Dent
    FRWL - Bond vs Grant
    GF - the second section of the car chase, excellent beginning with the ejector seat, excellent end with the mirrors
    TB - where do I start, ah, the beginning, Bond vs Bouvard
    YOLT - Little Nellie, best use of the Bond theme
    OHMSS - where do I start, hmm, the midway, Bond kills the guard by the lift in stunning, Bourne-style seconds
    DAF - Bond vs Franks
    LALD - can I have the tarot scene where Bond's about to have his finger busted
    TMWTGG - this is hard, Grisly Land, so strange and eerie
    TSWLM - the ski chase
    MR - cable car fight, amongst many choices just coz it is so spectacular
    FYEO - the climb up the mountain
    OP - Bond & Octopussy vs the thugs
    AVTAK - I genuinely have no clue
    TLD - the PTS
    LTK - Bond's thwarted assassination attempt
    GE - escape from the Graveyard of Communism
    TND - amongst many, the HALO jump
    TWINE - must I? Okay, the scene in Bilbao which should have been the PTS all alone
    DAD - not much to like here, the scene where Bknd uses the ring to escape through the glass floor is very clever
    CR - the PTS
    QOS - more here than I remember, on short reflection the PTS
    SF - the assassination of the Chinese businessman and the ensuing fight, infact this whole Macao sequence is excellent
    SP - because I have to name one, probably the Rome car chase, oh maybe not, ah I said I wouldn't think on it
    NSNA - the horseback chase, because it's was so unexpected at the time

    This is a horror show. Surprised how many movies had multiple scenes I wanted to include and how many had absolutely zero.
