We all knew this had to be number one. The thrilling ski chase from 1977, with Roger Moore as James Bond in The Spy Who Loved Me. A classic Bond film and perhaps the classic Bond chase. 007 is descending a mountain once again, in bright yellow ski suit and a huge red backpack. Leading the pursuing bad-guys in an off-piste extravaganza of stunning jumps, breath-taking slides and clever manoeuvring, James Bond flies down a mountainside with the flair and tenacity only Roger Moore can provide. The scene has memorable moments. Bond's ski pole turns into a gun at the flick of a switch, eliminating an antagonist. Skiing backwards, Bond performs a backflip and lands perfectly. But of course, the most memorable moment of the chase, and indeed the whole James Bond franchise, sees 007 ski straight off the edge of a mountain and apparently fall to his doom. The fall goes on for a while, in total silence, but suddenly out of the red backpack a parachute appears, adorned with a huge Union Jack. The James Bond theme tune comes in and our hero floats away. A thrilling end to the best winter action scene ever. Like this list? Which scenes have we missed? Let us know in the comments section below.
