That s a cool moment.
Seems like there are quite a few cool moments in this. We've come up with a lot between us.
Looks like the opening sequence has turned out to be the winner.

Though in the 60's only the one from OHMSS is mentioned.
Then the big setpieces came from TSWLM onwards and only LTK's PTS didn't make the top choices since 1977.
number 1 for me
I agree. I think it's a great scene and a masterful example of the series' stunt work (as well as one of Barry's best action motifs) but it is slightly undermined by an action from a character who up to that point had displayed a cunning ruthlessness and snakey intelligence.
And make this The Bond scenes tournament.
We go film by film.
Lets start from the Beginning.
From the 3 most voted of Dr No we Choose the best, when we get to the best of that one, we proceed to From Russia with Love, Goldfinger Etc with each of their fianlists.
These will leave us with 24 scenes to vote for to choose the 10 best Bond scenes of all time.
It's a horrible CGI scene, for sure.
But in recent years, I have grown to better understand the idea. What Bond did was similar to "ski-gliding." In a way, EON was ahead of the curve on this.
The idea of ski-gliding across terrain was becoming popular, as seen in this video:
More recently, JT Holmes, ski-glided the Eiger and then para-jumped off one of the edges, Rick sylvester-style.
Note what Holmes says at the end: "I'm Bond." =D>
I like it.
@Birdleson: True. I am not saying the execution was good. It was extremely poor. But the concept was good. I am sure that today, they would hire Holmes to actually do the stunt.
