I personally dont know anything about the making of FYEO

But for me.. I think that Bobsled/Motorcycle Chase is the BEST 007 stunt chase/sequence ever!!

what are your thoughts?? What would you put as number 1???

I really do like that whole sequence in FYEO. I've always been partial to the snow and ski stuff and have liked all those sequences (up until the lackluster and limp effort in TWINE).

How about.. in TSWLM

when the stunt dude.. jumps off the cliff and pops off his ski's!! then pops his parachute! ****IF you look closely one of the skies almost hits the opening parachute.. which it totally gross:eek:

could you only imagine if that ski got tangled into the parachute.. :)

I read in a book the stunt guy after that stunt ..when he landed.. he ran over to place where he was alone and took a huge ****! NO Joke..

just watch the stunt.. you don't see any sign of any land near him for a loooooooooong time:eek:

They talk a lot about that stunt in the documentary on TSWLM on the DVD and John Glen discusses it at length in his biography. When you know the backstory to the sequence it's really amazing that the stunt ever got filmed. :)
