5. Casino Royale - Parkour Opening
Daniel Craig's first appearance as James Bond needed to be spectacular, he had enraged die hard Bond fans by not being brunette, leading to him being dubbed James Blonde. However all doubts were put aside when the breathtaking opening sequence had finished. The sequence showed the all new Bond chasing bomb-maker and real life founder of freerunning Sébastien Foucan around various areas of Madagascar. Except in pure James Bond style, Foucan did all the flashy parkour and Bond, being Bond, bulldozed his way behind him eventually blowing up an embassy. Not only was this a fantastic action packed opening, but it showed us exactly who James Bond is. Props also go to the record breaking car crash seen later in the film.
4. You Only Live Twice - Little Nellie
Ahh yes the ridiculous looking bright yellow heavily armoured autogyro from 'You Only Live Twice'. Not only is the idea of getting a fully fledged war-copter out of suitcases just brilliant, but the actual sequence featuring Sean Connery's Bond doing aerial battle, with Little Nellie against the slightly scarier looking SPECTRE helicopters was truly something to behold. Who could come up with such a sequence where a ridiculous bright yellow thing triumphs over several geared up helicopters I hear you ask? Roald Dahl, that's who, oh and Q.
3. Goldeneye - Tank Sequence
Peirce Brosnan's first and best Bond film, and arguably the best Bond film of all time, spawning 'Goldeneye' on the N64 which is arguably the best Bond game ever. What made this film so great was that it had not one, not two, but three great action scenes, the opening sequence where Bond bungee jumps off of a dam and skydives into a plane, the fight with Alec Trevelyan and the best of the lot, Bond driving a tank through downtown St.Petersburg. The tank chase scene was quintessentially Bond, full of classic Bond moments like forcing the Russian police force to reverse away from him. Besides it was Bond in a tank, what's not to enjoy. Also Brosnan is the deadliest Bond of them all.
2. Skyfall - Opening Sequence
'Casino Royale' had the Parkour and the bulldozing. So 'Skyfall' took that and asked everyone 'How can we make it better?' The answer was having freerunning on motorcycles, with motorbikes jumping around rooftops, up stairs and through windows. They then took the bulldozer, put it on a train and made Bond destroy the hell out of it before jumping onto the aforementioned destroyed train and then straightening his tie. Seriously this sequence was brilliant. But it only marginally beat out the exquisitely shot night-time fight scene in a Shanghai tower block; seriously the cinematography in the entire movie was just beautiful.
1. From Russia With Love - Orient Express Fight
With the modern world bringing technological advances, it's easy to get lost in the CGI, explosions and vehicular chases but sometimes the best, most adrenaline inducing action takes it old-school. The claustrophobic fight scene between Sean Connery's Bond and Robert Shaw's Red Grant was incredibly exciting. The visceral fist fight between these two was brutal, with eye gouging, knees and elbows flying everywhere. It was a real dog fight. Brilliant stuff.
