I wasnt aware of that either,but i suppose i should have guessed,this was the Brosnan era after all.
I do think CGI is okay if done sparingly, when it makes sense to, and is well done.
Unlike *cough* the wave *cough* in DAD.
They are still jumping from one roof to another. I think it's a good stunt either way.
That's a good point actually.
It added some more danger to it and the CGI was convincing enough for people to think it was real (I never realised and I've seen the film quite a few times now), so I don't see the issue.
For what it's worth, it's also always struck me that it was not real and that CGI was involved.
Jumping from one roof to another on that bike is a great enough stunt as it is, in my opinion. It should have been left at that.
The difference between that and the GE plane catching or the DAD tsunami surfing is that those are all CGI. There is no stunt, no danger and worst of all, it looks shit and unconvincing. It's just an actor in front of a green screen.
Same thing has happened in the Craig movies too, yet people seem to be able to ignore that. Craig's face imposed on to the stunt driver, and the glass being CGI added as the bikes move from the rooftop into the bazaar. It happens even more frequently now, in fact.
Moore : FYEO
Lazenby : Not much choice here, I like when he's approaching the beach in the opening of OHMSS. Some easy, breezy driving.
Dalton : LTK truck chase- good driving Tim
Brosnan : Goldeneye- wow, imagine having the power of a tank under your butt!
Craig : Opening car chase (despite the lackluster editing)
As long as CGI is used sparingly compared to stunt driving or whatnot then im ok with it,but it must NOT overtake the stuntwork.
@CraigMooreOHMSS I think the worst example of this in the Craig films are the komodo dragons. Another stunt that was entirely CGI and that looked unconvincing. I thought the free fall in QOS was dodgy too.
GL-stock car race.
RM-Citroen, but also Lotus chase in TSWLM.
TD-Aston in Austria.
PB-cannot think of any, sorry about that.
DC-record flip with Aston.
Aston Martin does well here.
Ohhh :( I thought that was a real stunt :( Ah well.
Agreed about the freefall. People seem to pick on the PTS stunt in GE but QOS is just as much an offender in terms of being realistic.
GL- Bond and Tracy during the stock car race chase.
RM- The 2CV is perhaps Moore's best driving, but I slightly prefer Bond in the Lotus evading Naomi.
TD- Aston chase on ice. Brace yourself.
PB- Bond and Zao on ice.
DC- QOS PTS, love the 360 spin to free the car from the truck.
Not sure you can really call it a chase, more like a lovely peaceful drive around a sleepy Rome at night time.
It's edited with scenes of Moneypenny in her flat and of course the bridge in the middle of the sequence with the Fiat and the older driver that gives a hilarious performance.
There are so many, very different kind of car chases in the series. Really none of them I would call bad or boring.
My favourite of course is the Tank chase in GoldenEye. But if that doesn't count then it must be this one!

But my favorite car chase, which isn't a car chase per se, is fron Goldfinger, when Bond is trailing Auric Goldfinger. I love the scenery.
George: PTS OHMSS
Rog: Lotus chase Sardinia
Tim: Aston vs. Czechoslovakian police
Pierce: Aston vs. Jaguar in Iceland
Dan: PTS QOS
Seems a Roller is not the best car to have if you are an ally of Bond's !!
