50 Greatest James Bond Moments Of All Time

24. Live And Let Die: Boat Chase

Live and Let Die, Roger Moore's first film as James Bond, is a good one but most of the film is completely overshadowed by one set-piece nonetheless. That set-piece is the film's incredible boat chase, which stands tall as one of the best action scenes Bond has ever partaken in.

It's a long and glorious comedic spectacle filled with awe-inspiring stunts, inspired gags (most notably the chase ruining a couple's wedding) and one epic moment after another. Not even the presence of JW Pepper (Clifton James), one of the worst James Bond characters of all time, can drag it down and this sequence represents the series at its most fun.
