Fights not Involving 007
There aren't too many of these when you think about it, but I've always considered it a treat when there is one, just for a change of pace. The only ones I can think of are Tracy vs. Grunther, Green Four vs. Necros, and Jinx vs. Miranda Frost. Personally, out of these three, I like Green Four vs. Necros the best. It's really tough and rough-edged! Anybody else think of any?

You're right, I guess I was thinking of fist-fights. Yes, that's a decent fight. Like you said, not terrible, but it might have been more impressive with better direction and story-boarding. I still really like the part where she jumps off the stairs and shoots those guards in mid-air.
Moore invades by way of a hot air balloon but for the most part is was the girls against the guards, quite a lively sequence actually
Nice one! Even Q gets in on the action and takes out a guard!
I hated the Berry and Pike fight on the 'plane in Die Another Day
Forgot to mention -
The two girls in The Man with the Golden Gun, the Lieutenant Hip nieces' that arrive outside the dojo when Moore escapes and - 'stand back girls' etc (bond wasn't involved so to speak)
Speaking of garbage, how about that laser tag fight between the Marines and Drax's army?
Moonraker is fun, a good watch even, but that rip off of Star Wars battle was merely embarrassing, it was so far detached from James Bond for me
The best thing about this battle is Barry's grand-scale epic soundtrack blaring in the background. That brings the battle to new heights of awesomeness. Still though, I must admit sheepishly, I actually look forward to this battle every time I watch MR.
I like to second second that one.
Great scene , very intense and well filmed.
How about the scene in TWINE where Renard puts the extremely hot rock into davidads hand and squeezes it to torture him.
Its not really a fight scene but it sure was gritty and added a realistic evil feel to Renards character.
Great choice! I fourth that!!! ;)
See, I never got that from this particular fight. I've always thought it was rather bland and dull; this is due in part to the fact that it's a Bond girl and not 007 himself, though Jinx fought Miranda Frost and that was a good duel. If I had my way, I would have let Bond slug it out with Grunther. Lazenby's impressive fist-fighting capabilities matched against Yuri Borienko's strong physique would have made for a great duel, and certainly better than the one we got.
Yes, that was awful and not Bondian at all. But that's most of MR in general for you. Not Bondian.
I'd go Necros vs MI6 agent first and the gypsy girls second, but the whole Krilencu's men vs the gypsy camp was great. Bond didn't really do too much compared to everything else going on.
Now that I think about it, the only things he really did that were drastically important were shoot two or three thugs, one of which saved Vavra's life. I hadn't really ever thought of that as a fight without Bond, but I suppose you're right.
Yeah I suppose that counts too! I love the part when that one ninja with the sword takes on three of the SPECTRE goons at once!
Yeah, nothing Bondanian about MR. Except the music, the villian, Bond himself, the locations, the girls, the henchman (Chang, they ruined Jaws), the gadgets and the awesome stunts.
I hated the stupid shoot em up at the end of Moonraker with Colonel Scott's team and the Drax guys, implausible looking lasers on a blatant attempt on the Star Wars boom of the time, it didn't look realistic, quite stupid above all else, and it was a very poor fight or battle, one of the most disappointing sequences of that years release for me
Best battle that year was actually Bond himself in Venice with Chang, how that vial didn't get broken amid all that I'll never know
Yeah, the MR finale with Colonel Scott's team is not the best of the best. It's more disappointing than ridiculous, I think. I don't mind that it is implausible, because MR screams for the implausible, so we're ready for it. It's the fact that it's such a let-down that bothers me. Much too slow-paced, not exciting enough, and over too quickly.
It's basically the underwater scenes in Thunderball.... but in outer space, if you understand, all a bit overlong and boring I'm afraid
Great release, spoiled for the most part by the asinine idea of sending James Bond into space.. :-<
Hahaha, indeed, the space scenes were unnecessary, especially considering they had a good thing going already with the plot from the novel.
