I just rememberd in QOS the moment in the Siena chase.

It was probs the best moment in the entire film, during the chase on the rooftop Bond is jumping off a roof and fires his gun and miss Mitchell. That has to be the best shot and moment in the film.

Just remembered it, hoping to God I didn't misremember it I haven't seen QOS since November. Just thoughtI'd air it.

Definitely a cool shot. Dynamic and classic. Reminds me of Connery or Lazenby a lot for some reason.

Nah, the best shot was when Bond drops down off the floating stage and crosses over to the opera house in Bregenz.

Actually, MY favorite shot is in the opera house, when Greene and Bond see each other. The whole thing goes into slo-mo and this beautiful classical piece kicks in as Bond hurtles himself through the backstage areas. The moment right before that, when they just stand glaring at each other is brilliant to me.

It's full of great shots, though. If you ask me, QoS is one of the most beautifully filmed movies in the entire series.

There are certainly lots of great shots in QOS, but I also like Bond's rooftop gunshot.

Yep. Great shot. It's just a shame that it was too missable.

Yes, me too. It's great to see Bond multi-tasking like that in the heat of battle. Sprinting, jumping and firing his weapon in one clean motion. A short but sweet moment.

I loved this one too, but it just annoyed me in the final cut. In the trailer you see the full scope of Greene's reaction as he comes down the stairs, in the film he's already kind of standing there. Damned editing.
