Of course with almost twenty movies, everyone will have their favourite scenes, moments from a Bond film.

Off of the top of my head, mine are:
FRWL-Bond's fight w/ Red Grant
GF- Bond's fight w/ Oddjob, Fort Knox climax
YOLT- ending with the volcano battle
OHMSS-ski chase scenes
TSWLM-ending on Liparus and Atlantis
Lotus Esprit scenes
MR- pretitle sequence
FYEO-ski chases, killing of Locque, raid on Kristatos' fortress
VTAK-fight w/ Zorin on Golden Gate bridge
TLD-car chase, fight w/ Necros on plane
GE-pretitle seq. Trevelyn revealed as Janus
TND-shooting of Dr. Kaufman, Stealth boat climax.

Hmmm.... Looks like most of 'em from Moore movies.

Blofeld's Cat (06 Jan, 2002 05:28 a.m.):

But, to actually choose "a moment" in the movies, I would say the caption that says: "James Bond will return", and all its variations in the whole series.

Nothing like a tasty morsel to feed an addiction. :)


I just wish they'd still add the title of the next movie after James Bond Returns, then that would be one less thing to speculate on Bond 20. :)

Some more:

DAF: The bit when the helicopter blows up over the desert in South Africa.

TSWLM: When Jaws falls into the water with the shark in it and then kills the shark.

TLD: When the saboteur kills OO4.

You could make this really difficult and ask for the ONE moment, above all, which is THE Bond moment for the individual.

I know folks will say that it's not easy, largely because of the different actors.

But for me, there's one scene that is just about perfect. it's not one that's very celebrated, but it's the scene in Thunderball in the hotel bathroom in Nassau, between Connery and Luciana Paluzzi, which is top of the tree. Lots come a near second. But that's THE moment.

In me humblest of opinions.

My best favourite scenes of the lot:

Coming in at 3rd:
Drax being sent into space. "Take a giant step for mankind!" (Moonraker)

A close 2nd:
Kananga being blown up. "He always did have an inflated opinion of himself". (Live And Let Die)

The big winner:
Baron Samedi rising from his grave. Bond shoots him and his head gets blown off! Totally Hilarious! (Live And Let Die)

The Q Scenes are also of top quality, but these are my three top moments, all from Moore films. Strange...

Ok if I repeat any above sorry, but I only skimmed so I wouldn't get ideas from others...my favorite moments are:

A)TSWLM--base jump in teaser
B)FYEO--ski chase
C)TSWLM--Jaws biting through chain at Pyramids
D)FYEO--the line "Well how about building a little more muscle tone by putting on your clothes."
E)FRWL--when Rosa Klebb meets Red Grant
F)TWINE--Bond slides down the window shade cord out of the bank
G)TND--the banner jump w/ Wai Lin
H)TMWTGG--the barrel roll of the Hornet over the river
I)LALD--the boat jump on the river (partly b/c I've been to that site)
J)GF--Oddjob's death
K)AVTAK--the beginning of the title sequence w/ the beauty pulling down the zipper of her ski jacket--it looks so good w/ the glo-lights and music
L)AVTAK--base jump off the Eiffel Tower
M)OP--Gobinda's death--especially when Kamal Kahn tells him to go get Bond on the plane and Gobinda's face shows terror
N)TLD--Bond cutting the ring around the enemy's car on the frozen lake
O)DAF--Bambi & Thumper scene

I'm sure I'll think of others but what can you do

Speculating is half the whole fun of it all, RossMan. The other half is the anticipation of the announcement. ;)

I honestly can't pick my fave moments because there are just too many. I might as well just say the movie titles to cover them all.

Just wanted to say thank you to JimmyBond. Now, two of us have publicly admitted our enjoyment of the gondola chase. I can discontinue attending my support group.

I'm gonna pick a few of my fav. moments out of each film, so bear with me.

Dr. No- Shooting of Prof. Dent, Bond's introduction in the Casino.

FRWL- Bond and Grants fight aboard the Orient, The Gypsy camp fight scene.

Goldfinger- Bond and Oddjob's fight in Fort Knox, Bond's golf game with Goldfinger.

Thunderball- Bonds visit at Largo's place, the stealing of the nuclear warheads.

YOLT- The fight at the docks, Bonds introduction to Blofield.

OHMSS- I'm inclined to say everything :)

DAF- The teaser, most of the scenes set in the Casino.

LALD- The boat chase, Baron Samedi on the train at the end of the film.

TMWTGG- The end duel, the car chase.

TSWLM- The teaser, the finale.

Moonraker- The Gondola chase(ok, it is cheesy, but in the context of Moonraker, it works).

FYEO- Bond pushing Locque's car off the cliff. The overall seriousness of Moore's Bond that was lacking in Moonraker.

Octopussy- The bomb defusing scene in the circus, the assassination of 009.

AVTAK- The teaser(yes, even though it includes the Beach Boys). The cool action theme that Barry wrote for the film.

LD- The introduction of Dalton, the car chasae.

LTK- All of it(seriously)

GE- The teaser(except for the awful plane stunt) Bonds introduction to Xenia in the casino.

TND- The killing of Doctor Kaufman, the garage chase.

Sean Connery was quoted in a recent Movieline interview saying, "I was sure I'd never play Bond again. But when I saw that incredible gondola scene in Moonraker, I contacted Kevin McClory right away."

Some more (sorry).

FYEO: When Bond hits that stick against the motorbike of the man who is chasing Melina Havelock and he goes crashing into the window of that flower shop.

DAF: When Bond punches the man in the Casino in the pre-title sequence.

DR. NO: The death of Dent. "That's a Smith and Wesson and you've had your six." (YES! If that's not pure Bond, what is?)

OCTOPUSSY: When Bond steals that ladies car in Germany. I laugh every time I see that. I also like it as he careens through the Russian soldiers and ultimatly onto the railroad tracks after his tires are blown off. Outrageous as Bond films should be.

GOLDENEYE: When Bond shoots the latches off of the cages to unleash the barrels on the unsuspecting Russian guards. I had no idea how he was going to escape that one.
-Also who can forget when Bond crashes through the concrete wall in pursuit of Oramov, in a tank no less!

TND: When Bond beats the crap out of Stampers goons in the soundproof studio. I just love that fight scene!

TND:when Bond and Wade are examining the GPS system, Bond looks at Wade's shirt and just shakes his head :-D
TWINE:R's explanation of the gadgets, Q's exit, and the ski chase

This is a tough one, there are so many great scenes to choose from.

Some of mine would be:

Milton Krest in the decompression chamber in LTK.

Felix being fed to the shark in LTK.

Dr Tynan having the scorpion dropped down his neck in DAF.

The FYEO ski scene (especially Kriegler shooting at those targets, just before he tries to kill Bond).

Best moment of all of the series was the ski-parachute jump in The Spy Who Loved Me's teaser. There are a lot of great moments in the series, but that ski jump pulled it all together for one perfect 007 moment.

DR NO - Ursula Andress coming out of the water!!!
FRWL - The fight on the train, the chess game, Gypsy girl fight, Rosa Klebb "she had her kicks"
GOLDFINGER - "My name is Pussy Galore", Masterson covered in gold, final fight between Oddjob and Bond
THUNDERBALL - Electifying chair!
OHMSS - Bond's "resignation", the wedding
TSWLM - Parachute sequence, telephone repairman van sequence
MOONRAKER - the doberman dogs are let free into the woods
LTK - Felix fed to sharks
GE - Bond meets Trevelyan again, Zuckovsky and Bond in his club, Tanner's "Evil Queen of Numbers" and M's "CNN" jokes
TND - Teaser sequence, Paris comes into Bond's hotel room
TWINE - "I couldn't let it explode with the rest of him", Q boat sequence, Q & R sequence

There's so much... but then compare it to some of the crap bits in the series and it makes you treasure the perfect moments.

DN-The scenes where Bond corners the female photographer at the bar and the suicide cab driver "I'm a very nervous passenger!'
FRWL- "Not until you come over here and kiss my foot!"
GF-the golf match and "I expect you to die!"
TB-the theft of the plane by Domino's brother's double
YOLT- Bond pretending to be the killer of Henderson. "I love you?" and "the things I do for England!'
OHMSS- the whole damn movie!
DAF- "Named after your father?"
LALD-Bond tricking Solitaire into a lovely night of uh, cards?
TMWTGG-Bond getting info out of Scaramanga's girl in the hotel. Rough love, huh?
TSWLM-pre-title sequence, Jaws in the pyramids and the naval showdown. Also the gunshot in the nuts was good too plus the girl who was shark bait!
MR- the girl chased by the dogs and Bond taking out the sniper. "You missed Mr. Bond", "Did I? Such good sport"
FYEO-The dragging of Bond and Melina through the water. The mountain climbing by Bond!
OP-The train sequence and the battle with Gobinda on the plane.
AVTAK- Golden Gate bridge and eiffel tower sequences. plus the horse play between Bond and Zorin.
TLD-The pre-title sequence, the fantastic fight with Necros on the plane (damn that's scary)
LTK-Bond taking out the dope in the water and taking over the plane. The attack on Felix.
GE-Pre-title sequence, one of the best ever. "No,no,no, no more foreplay, take me to Janus!" "Can't you be a good boy and die?"
TND-"Give the people what they want!" also "I'm just a professional doing a job" "Me too" pfunt! The awesome ending with Stamper and the saving of Wai Lin, classic!
TWINE-The torture chair sequence with the killing of Elektra is reason enough that this Bond movie is one of the best. Plus, 'See you back at the lodge" and "I'm already dead" Bond- " Haven't you heard, so is she!"

Aah! A list...

1) The Casino introduction of Bond in Dr No.
Classic, cool, iconic.
2) The confrontation and fight between Bond and Grant on the Orient express in FRWL.
great performances by Connery and Shaw, and the best fight ever put on celluloid.
3) Bond, locked in Fort Knox, handcuffed to an atom bomb, with a giant Korean karate expert trying to decapitate him with a bowler hat.
Completely absurd, and played dead straight.
4)The precredit sequence of OHMSS...until the "other feller" line.
5) Bond pounding up the stairs to head off Locque in FYEO, then kicking the car off the cliff. And no corny one liner.
6) The scene with M in Goldeneye.
7) The torture chair sequence,death(?) of Zukovsky, assassination of Elektra in front of "M" and dive off the tower in TWINE.
8) The playful car chase between Bond and Xenia.
9) The part of Daylights that's actually derived from Fleming's story. Dalton nails Fleming's Bond.
10) The bit in TMWTGG where Mary Goodnight bumps a switch with her bottom and nearly incinerates Bond...only kidding!

OO7Qbranch,

I didn't know you'd joined. Welcome to CBnet. You'll like it here.

Some more scenes I like:

FYEO: The man in the J.I.M. diving suit blowing up.

FYEO: The bit when the man gets knocked of Kristatos' boat and then falls into the shark infested water.

LTK: When Dario says to Felix "Don't worry we gave her a nice HONEYMOOOON!!"

FYEO: The bit when Kriegler lifts up his motorbike and throws it at Bond.

and some more bits I like:

10)The laser torture table bit in Goldfinger, culminating in the best baddy's line in the series."no, Mr Bond, I expect you to die".
11) The centrifuge sequence in Moonraker. Some people hate the way Roger/Bond's cheeks ripple. I love it, and the fact again that it isn't followed with a wisecrack.
12) "salt corrosion"
13) Moneypenny rewriting Bond's resignation to M, to the gratitude of both parties.
14) The Hitchcockian safecracking scene in OHMSS.
15) Bond handing Fiona a pair of sandals in T'ball.

And little things like:
Bond fixing a hair across the door in Dr No, to see whether anyone searches his room.

The nonchalant way Bond smashes the fire alarm glass with his elbow in T'ball.

The way Bond scoops up the phone and lets all but the handset drop in LTK.

Bond flinching almost imperceptibly as bullets whiz past him in Goldeneye.

The way Bond slugs Xenia in the car before meeting Janus.

Having demolished a thug in Tracy's room, Bond scoops up some caviar as he leaves.

GF - The cool way Bond tricks the security guard when locked in GFs cell. Also the golf game and the way only Sean Connery can get away with wearing a dodgy swimsuit like that
FRWL - That slap in the chest! Ouch
TSWLM - The brilliant conversation when agent triple x discovers bond killed her lover. Also the scene when Stromberg thinks he's stumped Bond with a fish question - Bond then delivers a perfect description of the exact fish type! (Can't remmember it's name though?!) All the lotus scenes.
FYEO - THAT kick off the cliff
OCT - The way Bond delivers the line, 'And that's for 009'.
TWINE - High speed pipe ride.
