I grew up through the Daniel Craig Bond era, but Connery and Moore's bond films have never been bettered. This scene is one of the best chase scenes in film history.
Can we just appriciate how awesome it looks at 4:00 with the bobsled, the stuntman, and the 2nd stuntman on bike all so close together :O Also.. I really miss scenes like this chase in never Bond movies. They all try to be so over the top serious, leaving out all the charm, the humor that makes the older Bond movies to good.
@@fiercehan6791 Four times I saw this film at my local cinema The ABC in Dover that is when a film had continues performance,s not separate performances I preferred it to Raiders of the lost ark I still prefer it over that
Goodbye, Sir. Roger. This was my first Bond film, i saw it for the first time when i was five, five years and a godamn bad fever. I didn't understand English at that time, but damn did i love this movie. Goodbye, Roger, it's been an honour.
This was my 1st Bond movie as well, and I was 5 too! (2nd time I ever went to the movies, if I remember well. 1st time was _La Boom_ with Sophie Marceau)
I used to watch this over and over and over as a kid, cause I loved the music so damn much :D If only the modern Bond film had this kind of humor, action and fun in general
My favorite part of this scene is the clever camera work with Bond skiing over the camera. The reason it's cool is because it gives you the feeling he's in real trouble, but is a damn good skier at the same time.
The high water mark of the entire series. Never are the action, the charm (James' easy salute), and the just-for-fun cheese ever combined so perfectly. Tragically under-loved film, same for the score. I can't get enough of this scene.
I have seen this film since i was five. My mother turned it on when i was sick as hell. This made me calm down, because as a kid with ADHD, i needed this kinda stuff. Twentyfive years later, this scene still gives me an call to be calm. Because i grew up with this movie and this scene, that is still edged to my mind. My mothers favourite Bond movie to this day. The day my mother is passing away, this movie is my first action to cope with it.
For me, the car stunts of Remy Julienne and his stunt team will always be Bond to me. My favorite being the funny 2CV chased by Peugot 504s from For your Eyes Only.
Rose Tico Enthusiast Quite. Citroen 2CV is the make and the model of that yellow little car Bond and Melina escape in when they are being chased by baddies in Peugot 504s.
The nice thing about this sequence is the sparing use of special effects. There is only a tiny amount of blue screen as Bond gives his signature wave! :-)
I think the reason why Moore's Bond is more fun is because of the shift in focus on more realism vs fantasy adventure in the franchise. Moore's Bond films where pure tongue in cheek adventure fantasy and people watch them with that expectation. Craig's Bond is all about realism and being a representation of today's generation's idea of a bad ass. Which is not necessarily a bad thing, but not that good a thing either.
Because these days it's all computerized shit and the stunts are so damn unreal today it just get silly. These stunts here probably pretty much happend for real and that fact outtakes most of the computer made shit today.
@@johnlloyddy7016 The other thing is that there are other action movies who could do that and more power to them. Bourne for example would be fine with more realism and seriousness, but Bond should always be on the lighter side, even if it is a little ridiculous
@@TheAlps36 Exactly, it was a totally different era. Back then, people watched Bond for the outrageous and over the top action sequences, sexy leading ladies and the clever gadgets that Q provided, all set in exotic locations around the world. Each installment had a totally different flavor to them. Unlike today where the villains and settings are seemingly generic and interchangeable. I think Pierce Brosnan's Bond came closest to recapturing the mystique that Moore's Bond movies had.
Quite possibly Moore's best outing. It's got a gritty feel to it, not as campy and goofy as Moonraker, they touch on previous continuity, and Moore makes Bond feel incredibly seasoned this time around.
That was the point the producers decided to make this movie a darker movie and more of a thriller to escape the science fiction elements of Moonraker and have it so Bond didn’t rely on so many gadgets.
Useless trivia moment: The dude at the ski lodge (3:03) was actually an Italian director featured in the movie as an extra. He was also in Moonraker & the Spy Who loved Me too & does the exact same thing (looks at his wine bottle/glass) in each movie whenever he see's Bond doing something incredible.
Paolo Rigoni died during the filming of the bobsled chase, but this was due to a poorly designed track. Rigoni was not the only one to lose his life there, however. During an actual competition a competing bobsledder was killed at the same exact spot.
The best thing about those movies is that you can’t say that this is unrealistic. Because it was done for real! Of course not by a single guy and not in a row, but it was done for real. Simply amazing. My wife was blown away when she first saw this scene, she couldn’t believe it.
@@shooter7a That’s exactly what makes the old Bond movies so enjoyable- it’s always just right, not too over the top. Of course it’s most impressive, what today’s specialists could do, but for a movie it would be too much, just like the kite surfing scene in die another day. That’s the difference to today’s movies. They’re also using, what is possible. That’s why we’re only getting such Marvel Comic Bullshit instead of movies that are still enjoyable in 30, 40 years.
It was John Glen the director.. he was the editor for all the bond movies before, then made some of the best bond movies ever because he had the experience and knew the character.
For your yes only: what a superb movie. I enjoyed this movie at the cinema, and never got tired of watching it again. This may sound cliche, but 'they don't make this type of movies anymore.'
Sad thing is one of the guys in the bobsleigh was killed filming this - he was only 23, and the first stuntman to be killed on the actual shooting of a Bond movie. Every time I hear this music begin, I think about that tragic accident - and that poor guy losing his life so young. It is the only film work he is credited with. So likely he was a local bobsleigh athlete, and not a professional stuntman? RIP Paolo Rigoni.
SEAN CONNERY and ROGER MOORE are the most wonderful JAMES BOND stars, the modern world cannot reproduce again, never again, that must sure, both were my inspiration throughout my life, especially when I am alone (lonely) isolated. God bless them
Best ski/winter fight scene in James Bond franchise, period. Excellent build up, nice and long, but doesn't overstay its welcome. My favorite James Bond movie is FYEO.
I can imagine an old retired James Bond laying on his death bed and thinking that no one would ever believe all the stuff he did in his prime lol. Destroying cool gadgets, making love to beautiful girls from all over the world, saving the world over and over again, putting up with Q's sarcastic remarks, traveling all over the world, driving cool cars, and the list goes on.....
And then Bond gets up off his Death Bed and gets back to work saving the world, because sod it if he survived all that crazy stuff, only for time to finally take him out. Q's granddaughter outfits him with a new array of gadgets, he flirts with Moneypenny's niece on his way out the office and gets right back to what he was doing decades before.
Actually in Switzerland Roger Moore used to do TV ads for train ticket passes in which he stated how hair raising the things were he used to have to do to lower his traveling costs which would then show various scenes from his James Bond movies .
I'm 47 and I ride as a London cycle courier. Three years now. It was a job I found too hard when I was younger. I'm in better shape now than I was as a young man. Now I feel like I'm James Bond several times a day. I love this job. I've been a singer, owned my own taxi and more. Never give up on yourself, and don't worry what anyone else thinks about you. Just so what makes you feel good and your shine will be contagious.
Great message, Aaron. I am also 47 & sometimes I get depressed because my body isn't what it used to be (numerous health problems). But i'm starting to take better care of myself now (more active & eating better) & I can already feel a difference. So I just have to keep thinking positive & telling myself that although I can't control everything, I do have a big say in my health & the quality of my life. It ain't over just because you are middle aged & have a few faulty parts. You just gotta keep fighting,patching yourself up & tell yourself that "I have alot more living to do!"
All on snow.. Ski chase for On Her Majesty's Secret Service and For Your Eyes Only, and the cello case in The Living Daylights. Come to think of it he also managed to get away with Skis in The Spy Who Loved Me, although in A View to a Kill he used the Ski but had to abandon it
I always dreamed of being a secret agent operative like 007 with great athletic ability to outrun any enemy opponent. But that never happened. I became the next best thing though: a salesman with a fat wife and two kids.
Conti did a pretty decent job with this movie, in my opinion. The music he had for the 2CV chased by Peugot 504s also elevated that chase sequence and it`s comedic value, at the same time as it maintained the Bond identity of the scene in the action paced frames of it.
The kids these days don’t know how good these movie’s really are and what it took to make them. Incredible stunt work and music !!! Such great pieces of time encapsulated in these movies
The Bobsled part-too funny! If you notice -an element that makes Bond is there's always someone who witnesses what he is doing and can't believe that just took place. Dalton's Bond - the bad guy is explaining how Bond took the money and the plane it came in!!!
Timothy Dalton got so screwed as James Bond with the "sensitive" script and low-budget cinematography. The water skiing behind the plane was a great stunt but all the rest look like they were done on a sound stage. Mexican Soap Operas (Novellas) are filmed better. Dalton's Bond was done in by trying to make Bond "sensitive", keep the budget low and over-dramatize the Colombian drug cartel. Pierce Bronson would have been a great Bond if he had worked out a bit to get ready for the role. He was miscast much in the same way Michael Keyton was in the 1989 Batman.
Visionary It's near the end when the women are distracting the men to get inside Khan's house. I think it's the same guy but I could be wrong, he looks at the women then looks at his drink just before they attack him. Love the running gag though, they don't really do that with Bond films anymore.
The green screen cutaways to Bond are so funny.... but the action is so great in this chase - peppered with great funny moments like the dude at the restaurant standing up with his drink. These stunt men were awesome.
Sean will always be my fav Bond but the Roger movies were just so much damn fun. It was like a mini-vacation going to them. For Your Eyes Only was an attempt to come back down to earth after Spy/Moonraker - which is why it's pretty gadget free. Great chase and Bill Conti's music is outstanding.They used it on Wide World Of Sports a lot.
I love this movie. And Carol Bouquet is still one of the most gorgeous Bond girls I've seen. My other favorites are Carey Lowell from "Licence to kill" and Maryam d'Abo from "The living daylights."
RIP Sir Roger Moore. Indeed these is the most iconic chase for entire bond series. And "for your eyes only" in my honest opinion, the most outstanding bond, till license to kill show up. Golden eye almost hit it, but overall is ok
My favorite Bond, Roger Moore brought humor to the part and he was always cool headed. The current Bond, is sullen and has no humor. Moore made the Bond films fun to watch.
The last seconds might seem goofy, but that is probably the most realistic. You can't run through snow; Bond had the skis, that fucker knew he was stymied.
FYEO is my all-time favorite Bond movie. It's just such a fun watch. Anybody here notice a very young Charles Dance, a.k.a. Tywin from GOT? 2 R.I.P.s, first for the actor who played Locke, and second to the actress who played Lisle, who was married to Pierce Brosnan, and was the mother to his step-daughter, who passed of few years ago of ovarian cancer, the same that killed her mother.
This ski chase blows the pants off both the ski chases in OHMSS and TWINE combined. Also, LOL at Kriegler raging at the end, throwing his busted rifle and bike at Bond. He really didn't like them apples.
I grew up through the Daniel Craig Bond era, but Connery and Moore's bond films have never been bettered. This scene is one of the best chase scenes in film history.
you really have taste
Cool
It’s almost 2020, and this is still better than CGI
Everything is better than CGI.
2021: still true
Most definitely although I'm sure they cut and spliced it together. Then added the soundtrack.
Hell yes it is. It always will be
If anything, CGI has gotten worse. The capabilities have gotten better, but the reliance on it makes it look worse.
Absolutely epic, better than anything in the newer films....
Can we just appriciate how awesome it looks at 4:00 with the bobsled, the stuntman, and the 2nd stuntman on bike all so close together :O
Also.. I really miss scenes like this chase in never Bond movies. They all try to be so over the top serious, leaving out all the charm, the humor that makes the older Bond movies to good.
When I first saw it back in 1981, I thought it was a great series of stunts. It still is today. Music by Bill Conti was great. It is called Runaway.
I really agree with you. It makes me think a lot.
@@fiercehan6791 Four times I saw this film at my local cinema The ABC in Dover that is when a film had continues performance,s not separate performances I preferred it to Raiders of the lost ark I still prefer it over that
Thought the music was just awful tbh. John Barry was busy , unfortunately.
I believe it was the B side of Sheena Eastons theme song single, For Your Eyes Only.
Goodbye, Sir. Roger.
This was my first Bond film, i saw it for the first time when i was five, five years and a godamn bad fever.
I didn't understand English at that time, but damn did i love this movie.
Goodbye, Roger, it's been an honour.

I am a Sean Connery guy, but the stunts in the Moore films were nothing short of incredible.
Willy bogner fantastic ski stuntman
Also when you consider Roger Moore was well into 40's when he became Bond and in this film he was 53/54 years old .
Hehe Moore was a bit of a weenie in hand to hand combat but his chase scenes were always excellent.
@@bluevan12 Well, Moore wasn't doing the stunts, lol.
My favorite part of this scene is the clever camera work with Bond skiing over the camera. The reason it's cool is because it gives you the feeling he's in real trouble, but is a damn good skier at the same time.

RIP To Sir Roger Moore, My favorite Bond , Nobody Did it Better!
And nobody does it better!
@@littlekenny8411 haha underrated comment
No Match against Sean Connery
They ALL did it better, every one of the other Bonds. Every one.
By far, the most English, ergo the best Bond, even if better actors also played Bond
The nice thing about this sequence is the sparing use of special effects. There is only a tiny amount of blue screen as Bond gives his signature wave! :-)
Charles Dance. Great actor, loved him in For Your Eyes Only. Played the villain brilliantly.
He was henchmen and had a small but memorable role as Kristatos hitman Claus
Whenever I watch the ski jump in the olympics, that epic music plays in my head.
The moral of the story… When all else fails, throw your motorcycle.
lol!!!!
*ERIK SMASH!!!*
No. The moral: If 54 old Roger Moore can escape you, stick to your role in Game of Thrones.
How is it that the 1981 sequences are better than the 2015 ones...?
Because Roger Moore is the greatest Bond!

Such a wonderful scene. Love it when you see the bobsled, 007 and the bikers all in one view race down the track. Great music!
Still blows me away at how well this was done for an early 80’s film.
Well done, period. The old days werent the stone age, pal. They had good shit back then too.
They wouldn't be able to film a scene like this today. Too many safety risks. A stuntman even died filming the bobsled sequence.
Paolo Rigoni died during the filming of the bobsled chase, but this was due to a poorly designed track. Rigoni was not the only one to lose his life there, however. During an actual competition a competing bobsledder was killed at the same exact spot.
I was 8 when this bike was new, & My adrenaline still soars every time I see this scene, it's Cinematic perfection.
Underrated Bond film, has some of the best action and photography. Roger did well with a serious take.
This scene is fabulous - it helps to make this my fave Roger Moore James Bond film.
The best thing about those movies is that you can’t say that this is unrealistic. Because it was done for real! Of course not by a single guy and not in a row, but it was done for real. Simply amazing.

3:03 Last we see of "Wine Guy".
One of my favorite bond movies , so much action !
My favourite Bond with Moore, unlike others this one is serious (mostly), and Bond is more human than in other movies.
Piotr Malewski *Ahem* Living Daylights and Licence to Kill want a word.
@@LexingtonDeville984 I was talking about Moore's Bonds
@@piotrmalewski8178 , That's right. I saw somewhere that after Moonraker they wanted to bring Bond back to something more grounded and they nailed it.
Hats off to all the stuntmen who performed their magic in this scene...
4:14 classic Roger Moore wave lol
blockmasterscott I love that wave! Thanks for posting this.
blockmasterscott lmao
And right after, he has to scold the bobsled team to keep their eyes on what they're doing :)
The piano rift at the beginning added to the suspenseful tone.
This is better than anything that happened in Spectre.
Miles Howard
This is a way better film then any of the new ones.
Skyfalls close but for your eyes only is far superior
True but that helicopter scene from Spectre, in Mexico city, was pretty badass.
Rose Tico Enthusiast The title was pretty good.
@@coolcat6303 It was like a scene straight out of the Dalton era.
I kinda miss the zanyness of the Moore movies though
And any Craig movies
Great chase scene, in what i'd say is one of the probably the most underrated James Bond movie. A close second is The Living Daylights.
is this the best bond chase ever? i love it!
For your yes only: what a superb movie. I enjoyed this movie at the cinema, and never got tired of watching it again. This may sound cliche, but 'they don't make this type of movies anymore.'
i remember it back when this was new .. on beta and it was great.. watched it 100 times.. best bond film
Ha! Love how human Bond sounds when he crashes; he's just like "Oh, man, this hurts!"
Best music and chase I have heard and seen from james bond
Andre Sihotang I think this song would go great with the Die Another day car chase
Sad thing is one of the guys in the bobsleigh was killed filming this - he was only 23, and the first stuntman to be killed on the actual shooting of a Bond movie.

So likely he was a local bobsleigh athlete, and not a professional stuntman? RIP Paolo Rigoni.
The ski chase scene and music was pretty good at the beginning of a view to a kill, I thought.
And its not even John Barry. Its Bill Conti
Not a patch on Bond music. Sounded like an average eighties movie.
The music is 'Runaway' by Bill Conti. He is the same musician who made the Rocky music...
I wanted Bill Conti also in Spider-man movies.
Best chase scene ever. Thanks for uploading

And having a motorcycle thrown at you
They sure don't make 'em like this anymore...
It's worth renting it on DVD even though it's one of the longest Bond films. Oh, and Carole Bouquet is gorgeous and a crack shot with a crossbow.
I have them all on dvd the latest bonds are just not worth watching I only like sky fall
They do not do anything right anymore
American cinema is truly an asset of this planet.
Charles Dance!
Yep he was pretty intimidating here too. And he didn't even have a speaking line either. Haha.
Thought that looked like him thought it couldn't be!
I saw that, too!
I'm surprised he didn't kill him with his stare.

I'm absolutely amazing by the stunts in this movie. As a skier and dirtbike rider I have immense respect for the crew that did this.
Guys got seriously hurt, bond movies had the greatest stunt work ever! Especially the Roger Moore ones
This scene got me hooked to the whole franchise. This is how a ski chase should be portrayed. This is my favourite movie of ALL Bonds.

...MAYBE IT'S NOT AS BAD AS YOU THINK!!!
This is your disguise
You've got Bill Conti from Rocky to thank for the music.
bobSCOTT99 that's it! that's why this so badass this music
It's both. The amazing stuntwork & cool disco music = EPIC scene. Haha.
Conti did a pretty decent job with this movie, in my opinion. The music he had for the 2CV chased by Peugot 504s also elevated that chase sequence and it`s comedic value, at the same time as it maintained the Bond identity of the scene in the action paced frames of it.
yeah but that organ at the beginnings is weird as fuck
To blame more like. No John Barry he.
Kudos to the stuntmen the real people that make movies watchable
Definitely gotta put this in the Olympics 😂. Loved Roger Moore as 007 since I was young!

Yeah there is that actor who appeared in Spy and Moon, He is in this scene in FYEO
Yes He is Victor Tourjansky
@3:02 that's the same guy who looks suspiciously at his drink during the Moonraker and Spy who loved me chases ;-)
Yeah he's in four of them altogether - The Spy Who Loved Me, Moonraker, For Your Eyes Only and Octopussy,
smokeylee1986 I don't remember him in Octopussy?
Visionary It's near the end when the women are distracting the men to get inside Khan's house. I think it's the same guy but I could be wrong, he looks at the women then looks at his drink just before they attack him. Love the running gag though, they don't really do that with Bond films anymore.
***** Same actor I meant, although watching Octopussy again I think it's a different actor in Octopussy.
Glad someone else noted that!
Just brilliant.
The green screen cutaways to Bond are so funny.... but the action is so great in this chase - peppered with great funny moments like the dude at the restaurant standing up with his drink. These stunt men were awesome.
Thanks for the upload mate!
Brilliant bike the Yamaha XT500 back in the day.Loved mine so much I bought another last year.
Haha! Great clip! I love the ending to that scene.
Pretty good secuence I loved that.... 007 always can scape ! Thanks, Daniel.
Good God I love that piano riff for the ski jump.
One of my favourites part of James bond’s Ski chase.
Sean will always be my fav Bond but the Roger movies were just so much damn fun. It was like a mini-vacation going to them. For Your Eyes Only was an attempt to come back down to earth after Spy/Moonraker - which is why it's pretty gadget free. Great chase and Bill Conti's music is outstanding.They used it on Wide World Of Sports a lot.
I love this movie. And Carol Bouquet is still one of the most gorgeous Bond girls I've seen. My other favorites are Carey Lowell from "Licence to kill" and Maryam d'Abo from "The living daylights."
RIP Sir Roger Moore. Indeed these is the most iconic chase for entire bond series. And "for your eyes only" in my honest opinion, the most outstanding bond, till license to kill show up. Golden eye almost hit it, but overall is ok
My favorite Bond, Roger Moore brought humor to the part and he was always cool headed. The current Bond, is sullen and has no humor. Moore made the Bond films fun to watch.
Of all the chase scenes, I think this was the best.
Excellent choice... and I am a Bond fanatic.
The last seconds might seem goofy, but that is probably the most realistic. You can't run through snow; Bond had the skis, that fucker knew he was stymied.
But what a generous thing for him to do, throw his gun and even his motorbike to James at the end of that scene, lol.
@2:58 the waitress was ready to throw cake at the old man seated on the chair.
hahahahahaha in slow motion it's so obvious too! She is just like... EFF IT HERE'S A CAKE
Great soundtrack!
I liked this song so much I downloaded it from the soundtrack (For Your Eyes Only) on iTunes. The song is called "Runaway", it's by Bill Conti.
FYEO is my all-time favorite Bond movie. It's just such a fun watch. Anybody here notice a very young Charles Dance, a.k.a. Tywin from GOT? 2 R.I.P.s, first for the actor who played Locke, and second to the actress who played Lisle, who was married to Pierce Brosnan, and was the mother to his step-daughter, who passed of few years ago of ovarian cancer, the same that killed her mother.
Wow Incredible Action
and music is also very excited
When I was child I saw it in cinema. It was a experience.
Sad Fact: It must be said, that a stuntman came to death in this scene.
Oh no
One of the bobsleders I believe.
Tywin Lannister chasing James Bond on skis. Amazing.
You have to admit that this is a tense scene. All the bad guys with guns around him. Slowly closing in.
Bond looks like he's in real trouble here.
So funny to see it now. I remember I was a child when I saw this for a first time)))) Since then 007 is my favourity character.
This is so goddamn early eighties. :)
Reminds me of Magnum PI's music. And the A-Team.
That's the style of Bond in all the Bond films
THIS WAS SUCH AN ACTIONPACKED BOND AND RELEASED THE YEAR I WAS BORN 81 YYEEEEHHAAA
This ski chase blows the pants off both the ski chases in OHMSS and TWINE combined.
Also, LOL at Kriegler raging at the end, throwing his busted rifle and bike at Bond. He really didn't like them apples.
S. Pilgrim yeah John Glen’s years of being an editor on these films paid dividends
