The top three stunts in the James Bond films.
We’ve all seen the James Bond films filled with great gadgets and action scenes but here are my top three stunts from the series: -
1) In first place in a great car chase in “the Man With The Golden Gun” having “borrowed” a car from a showroom Roger Moore as Bond is chasing Christopher Lee as Scaramanga when all of a sudden his gold car is on the other side of a river. Instead of driving back to cross a conventional bridge he chooses to cross a bridge which has its middle missing. The jump with a twist follows and has to be one of the greatest feats of car driving ever seen on film.
2) The second place scene comes from “Tomorrow Never Dies”. This time Brosnan as Bond with Michelle Yoeh as pillion passenger are being pursued through the backstreets by a helicopter. Having cornered the pair on the bike the helicopter dips its front with its blades slicing only inches above the floor; surely there is no way out for Bond this time? However he drives straight at the helicopter and slides underneath the blades for a great escape. Cue the music.
3) Finally again with Moore as Bond we have “Live and Let Die”. Having been taken to Mr Big’s drug making factory by Tee-Hee Bond is led onto an island with the surrounding water infested with croco diles and alligators. Tee-Hee leaves him on a retracting bridge while throwing pieces of chicken into the water to whet the reptiles appetites. As they close in on bond he notices a boat by the side unfortunately his magnetic watch is unable to pull it towards him as it is tied to the side. Bond feeling the heat looks concerned when all of a sudden the crocs line up in a row for him and he manages to hop across to safety.
I know everyone is not going to agree with these (There is no mention of Connery, Dalton or Lazenby) but it is difficult to pick your top three. It would be interesting to see what others you think are better than my personal favourites.

'Broken Arrow' had a good one right at the end.
*Spoiler*
Guy in a train carriage has a missile fired at him which hits him in the stomach and blows him out of the back wall of the carriage he is in and off the back of the train. How they did this I still do not know...
*End of spoiler*
Don't you just hate it when someone puts 'Spoiler' in a post, because personally I always read them anyway just to see what is being said. I hate that.
