Although the fire engine chase in A View To A Kill (1985) is over-the-top and a bit eye-roll inducing, I did enjoy when the sleepy bridge operator attempts to stop James Bond (Roger Moore) and Stacy Sutton (Tanya Roberts) in their tracks.

The “gotcha” moment from the lead police officer on the radio always gave me a chuckle, and reminds me the bumbling Sheriff J.W. Pepper from previous Bond movies – particularly at the end when he scolds a subordinate for damage caused to their police cruiser. He absurdly tells him they will pay for damages with $100 out of each paycheck while his own cruiser is smashed right behind him and a crowd of officers laughs it off. Some odd comic relief, for sure.
