50 Greatest James Bond Moments Of All Time

40. Goldeneye: Dam Jump

The Spy Who Loved Me
MGM

In one poll, this was voted as the greatest movie stunt ever... fair enough.

The franchise was in limbo for several years after Licence to Kill, thanks partly due to a legal dispute. As well as this, it was feared that James Bond would lose relevance now that the Cold War was over.

Therefore, this jaw-dropping, record-breaking bungee jump stunt was a lovely way to open Goldeneye, since it reminded audiences just what they'd been missing for the past six years. It also set the stage for one of the franchise's most elite movies.
