    @DaltonCraig007, as amazing as the car jump is, what are your thoughts on the whistle?

    I feel ashamed, but I love it ! It's just something that you'd only find in a Moore flick ! Simply hilarious. I laugh WITH Bond and JW Pepper, and not at the film.

    Yeah, I think we were talking about this in the topic about things you would change in the Bond films, and really, it just wouldn't be the same if the whistle wasn't there.

    The stunt that amazed me the most because of its history was the alligator steps - awesome.

    Here's the back history about this amazing piece of cinema genius:

    Okay that was excellent too. Even though someone mistook Craig for Terminator when he went through that thin plaster wall, I thoroughly enjoyed the whole chase. First showed Craig in action, and he was unlike any Bond in that regard.

    edit: and I'm not talking about myself. I just read some comments when the movie was released.

    I love when Mollaka jumps down the elevator shaft, landing one floor below, and Bond slides through the hole in the floor and continues the chase. Very intense.

    Love the Union Jack parachute scene.

    My top five:

    Car Spin - The Man With The Golden Gun
    Union Jack - The Spy Who Loved Me
    PTS - Moonraker
    Cargo-net Fight - The Living Daylights
    Bungie Jump - GoldenEye

    One stunt that should be on the list which never felt spectacular is the Eiffel Tower parachute jump from A View To A Kill. It was too rushed I think.

    Here's hoping another breathtaking stunt is up the way.

    The Madagascar chase has been said, so I'll mention the chase with Bond and Le Chiffre, where Bond flips the Aston to avoid Vesper, and in the process 007 broke a record! I love the entire underwater battle in TB as well. Some find the scenes boring, but the underwater hijinks is too much fun to deny. I also enjoy Brosnan's Bond controlling the remote control car in TND. I love when Bond bails out and continues to fool his pursuers. Then he finishes by sending it off the top level of the car park into the shop window. I also enjoy what QoS had to offer, majorly the opening chase that was just guns and crashing, the true way, and the Siena chase not long after. The racing crowd Bond chases Mitchell through adds to the immense tension and raises the chance that Mitchell will escape. The rooftop bout after is far too great for words. And the punches keep coming when Bond and Mitchell hang like Tarzan and exchange blows, ending epically with Bond twisting for his gun and raising upside down to shoot Mitchell. I love it. And finally my last of my top favorites is the bout of Carlos and Bond at Miami airport. The opening to it with Bond tracking Carlos and finally knowing what ELLIPSIS means is just plain clever. Follow that with Bond on Carlos's truck and the ensuing punches are great, and the brilliance of Bond blowing Carlos to smithereens is amazing(wow i used clever,great,brilliance and amazing all in two sentences). Craig's Bond is my favorite Bond for great stunts for sure.

    the stunts are one of the features that i love about the BOND films which have also set the bench mark for other films franchises in general.

    but there are so many to name... but thats a good thing

    LTK > when BOND tilts the semi tanker to one side to avoid the in coming SAM plus later pulls a wheelie

    On foot: the chase in Madagascar in CR '06
    On mountains: the fall in FYEO
    Cars: The big chase at the end of LTK. Easily the absolute best thing Rémy Julienne has ever done. Honorary mention for the astro-jump in TMWTGG (just get rid of that whistle, and it would be perfect).
    On water: the chase in LALD. Honorary mention to the crocodile jump in same.
    On snow: The chase in OHMSS, although the one in FYEO comes very close.
    In the air: yes, TSWLM.
