This is just a ranking for members to show which particular escapism or fight,battle,members prefer,when 007 was on or in the following modes of transport (there is already a car thread so that's not necessary) :

From a rapidly ageing memory i remember these scenes,see if you can put them in your personal preference order,you can mix them all up,and anything i have missed off just type it in here.

However this is for battles or escapes only,not effect,scenery or dialogue,regardless if Bond was on the vehicles :

    And in the train thread, I've included the SF underground train chase- when Bond jumps on the back of the train to catch Silva.

    Really a mostly CGI created plane chase, with a complete CGI jumping out of an airplane without a parachute over the one in MR, I would call the QoB a bad and poor copy of the for real shot scenes in MR. Which is what bothered me most in QoB, all of it actionscenes were shot before and superiour as well.

    1. I'd be annoyed too if I was fighting on plane and someone opened the cargo door.
    2. If you're going to raid a Swiss mountain resort, make sure you call the mob.
    3. Poor Gobindha, having to fight on top of a train and then on top of a plane.
    4. Pierce the Pied Piper leads the nukes out of town.
    5. If Sanchez had gotten over be flown by Felix, we wouldn't have had a good film

    I don't like any of the ones from 15 - 20. And then the only ones I REALLY like are 1 - 7. The freefall after the plane in GE is incredibly stupid but I'm so into the movie when I watch from the beginning that I only question it if I'm watching the sequence on its' own.

    So how does everyone see the new SP scene above fitting in with the other aircraft Bond moments ?

    The helicopter scene in Mexico is among the very best.

    The scene in Austria was rather dull. Same with the final scene with Blofeld.
