Best opening sequence?

**Drax** · Apr 1st, 2003, 02:04 PM

I'd say The Spy Who Loved Me, with the Union Jack parachute. It's a classic scene, and I love how the Bond theme kicks in really loud when he opens his chute.

TSWLM is a great choice. that ski chase scene is excellent ( ignoring the bad special effects

) and when the music kicks in, its fabulous. I also like The Living Daylights. it is Action-tastic!

i liked live and let die with the jet. classic funny moore doing a short movie.

**Drax** · Apr 1st, 2003, 07:49 PM

The jet? Are you talking about the acrostar minijet in Octopussy, or do I not remember the opening sequence to LALD?

jopaxton · Apr 1st, 2003, 08:29 PM

sorry you are correct. the openning in LALD was the agents getting knocked off.

GE, FYEO, MR.

I really like Goldfinger's opening scene... I'd also have to say that Goldeneye, TND, and TWINE all have really good opening scenes. Let's See.. Best of all? I'd have to go with either Octopussy or FYEO.

stevebro · Apr 2nd, 2003, 09:35 PM

can't forget the Living Daylights: I love when he gets on the boat and grabs the girl's phone.

Bond: I need to use your phone (grabs phone) she'll call you back.

Bond:...I'll be there in an hour

Girl: Won't you join me?

Bond: Better make that two.

i007_Bond_007i · Aug 23rd, 2003, 05:39 PM

TLD, GE, TSWLM and GF.

George Lazenby · Aug 23rd, 2003, 05:59 PM

GF, DAF, and TLD are way ahead of the others in my mind.

Although TSWLM, GE and OHMSS are very memorable, but I don't like them as much.

FRWL and YOLT also had great ones.

Proxima · Aug 23rd, 2003, 07:22 PM

Octopussy was a good one. I still laugh when I hear "Fill er up."

Live and Let Die, with the agents being killed (especially in New Orleans with the funeral) is superb. One of my favorites.

The Spy Who Loved Me is a classic, with the ski chase and the jump off the cliff.

And finally, the fight in mid-air in Moonraker was excellent.

The6thBond · Aug 23rd, 2003, 10:25 PM

The Spy Who Loved Me, Octopussy and Goldeneye are great, But there are also so many other good ones. They are all great.

Quartermaster007 · Mar 20th, 2005, 12:39 AM

LTK, catching the plane, classic.

JohnCleese · Mar 20th, 2005, 02:00 AM

OP,TMWTGG,LALD,GF,TLD,LTK are just plain awsome.
AVTAK is not far behind. "The Beach Boys" music is just plain FUNNY.

The seventies were a very confusing time for me. Besides, everyone was doing it.
