No CGI here folks. One of the best stunts ever done for a Bond Film. I remember watching this in the Theater and the audience was totally blown away by this opening.
Coins it’s called stunt men used stunt men to perform the action scenes. Richard Kiel and Roger Moore had their own stunt men. Moore had a stunt double who performed the action scenes for him and if he was running or anything it was a stunt double.
@@AlexGeek No, huge cameras would have broken the cameraman's neck upon deploying the parachute. This scene was actually shot with state of the art small cameras. There's a documentary about it on the Blu Ray for Moonraker.
Jean-Pierre Castaldi is in this film for barely a minute yet has two of the greatest lines in Bond history: "This is where we leave you Mr Bond" and "Enjoy your flight" 💪
great scene none no better but they ruined it with jaws ripping his cord and flapping his wings and falling into a tent stupid and silly slapstick other than that greatest opening then comes the spy who bugged me with the skiing stunt then for your eyes only with the helicopter octopussy not bad with the little plane but moonraker is amazing the rest of the film almost like a live action road runner cartoon
Moonraker is one of the most entertaining Bond films in the series . Sure, a lot of it is silly , but I must say the opening sequence in this film has got to be one of the most exciting ever!!
Best Bond: Roger Moore Best Bond fim: Moonraker Best Bond Song: Moonraker Best Bond Singer: Shirley Bassey Best Bond Score: Moonraker Best Bond Composer: John Barry
@Old Iron Sounds like you made a few jumps also. I started in Taunton Ma. and then Woodstock Ct. Great memories. I have a commercial license now and would love to find a job flying jumpers.
Still Amazing even over 40 years later.... I saw this in a documentary on Moonraker This particular scene took over 80 Parachute jumps just to get it right they even had to "invent a smaller lightweight film camera for the parachutist who filmed this .
it has been already filmed in 1965 the first time last scene of " Fantomas se dechaine" french movie 1965 and moonraker theme " flight into space" is also a copy of michel magne "ma chere helene"
This, the Goldeneye Opening, and the Goldfinger Opening sequence are my favorites in this series. RIP Sir Roger. You are gone but never forgotten with all your Bond films preserved forever.
@@codyt821 My understanding is that a large part of that was filmed with stunt men actually skydiving. I hope they didn't need more than one take. Am I correct about that, or is it all blue screen? of course there was no CGI in those days.
i feel like im part of a minority but when ever someone say this movie ia bad, it’s automatically my favorite among the rest of bond movies, hell even Mission impossible 2 is my fav among the newer ones
My father said when he saw this in theaters back in 1979 that the audience were not expecting James Bond to get pushed out of a plane without a parachute.
I have to say it goes to For Your Eyes Only I'm sure it is, when Bond picks up Blofeld in his wheelchair and dumps him down the factory chimney.. Cracked me up when I was a kid 😂
The fantastic stuntwork in this film was phenomenal and never gets enough recognition..just pure magical edge of your seat practical stunts..no CGI or anything..i love these older bond films and the superb stunt people made them even better...
it has been already filmed in 1965 the first time last scene of " Fantomas se dechaine" french movie 1965 and moonraker theme " flight into space" is also a copy of michel magne "ma chere helene"
Wow.... What an amazing opening! I was in my mid-teen when I watched Moonraker in Rio de Janeiro. The audience was very excited (you can imagine!!!) when the Sugar Load Mountain showed in the big screen ! Rio, see you soon ! 🌞⛱
I remember watching this in the movie theater with my twin brother. We have a similar sense of humor so we laughed our a***s off it was so over the top and so much fun! 😂 What an opening scene! I still remember it fondly!
This video reminded me of something. On one of the times Chuck Norris went skydiving, his parachute failed. He returned it, for a full refund, the next day.
Ha ha - Another example is the close up of the guy who drives the split-in-half car during the Paris scene in "A View to a Kill" it is so blatantly not Roger Moore
We should probably decide first what we look for in Bond. If it is humour, class and suavity then Roger Moore is our man, if it is brawn, muscle, roughness around the edges than it's Craig. Personally I go for the former.
My grandfather took me to see this movie when I was 5 years old. I thought this part was the coolest thing I'd ever seen, when the music starts playing and he dives after the other guy. I ended up falling asleep later, but I always remembered this scene.
Tarantino, who had skipped Moonraker, finally saw it and enjoyed this sequence a lot for its technical skill. 2:39 “…even though you see it’s an Asian guy, you don’t care.”
BJ Worth, Ron Luginbill, Don Caltvedt, Jake Lombard, Rande de Luca. Legends in the sport. Some are retired, some are departed, some are still jumping. Fantastic job. Hats off to all of you!
Maybe I am afraid of heights and falling, so this explains my reaction. But I found this to be an emotionally intense scene. I could feel the blood sink to my feet.
I watched this just the other day. It was one of my favorite bond films as I was studying aerospace engineering at the time and soon after joined the US Air Force. The Jaws character was great. Now I enjoy the Man with the Golden Gun because I have been to Thailand many times and enjoy seeing the old footage
Imagine the terror of that pilot as he was kicked away, knowing you have no chance to reach bond again, to die that way after being so close to succeeding, the scream was perfect as was the angry howl of despair.
@@sirfijoe450 Not really. I think I read someplace a person would pass out after a few moments, so he would have been spared having to experience the whole ordeal.
A classic Bond action sequence. No CGI, no shaky cam, no crash editing, made real by stunt men doing all these amazing stunts. Roger Moore portrays the role of gentleman's spy with class and sophistication. Now we have a blonde Bond who's having identity crisis. He doesn't know whether he's Bourne/Statham/Ramboo or whatever.
Saw this at the cinema in Cambridge I was so scared of Jaws in this movie that for several days every time I heard a propeller plane at night I thought he was parachuting down to get me (I lived about 4 miles from London Stansted). Not sure how old I was but the movie came out in late 70's early 80's and I was born in '73. Here I am trying to justify being scared of a character in a movie. Truth be told I had bad dreams about Jaws, now and again for decades!
I must have watched this terrific scene dozens of times, and it's only just occurred to me that they had to cheat on the parachute rig design to make it feasible for Bond to wrestle the parachute away from the bad guy and put it on himself. In reality, all parachute harnesses are fitted with leg straps that fit around the top of the thighs, passing under the crotch. If they weren't, the wearer would almost certainly slide downwards out of the harness during or after deployment. You can see the leg straps on Jaws' parachute rig at 2:22. The dummy prop rig in this sequence has no leg straps, since once tightened they would have made it practically impossible to transfer the rig from one person to the other in freefall. For the shot where you see Bond deploying the parachute, I assume they used a properly configured harness with the leg straps concealed under the stuntman's trousers.
Roger Moore, the best Bond of all ! I love it when Jaws pulls his rip cord, and nothing happens. Then he looks at his rip cord pin in his hand like, what the f**k.😂
I'm so glad Movieclips have decided to do James Bond films instead of just a few clips from various films, and this is one of my favourites! Thank you Movieclips! :)
Have you noticed that in all these Bond movies the villian could have killed Bond very easily, but they come up with such complicated methods to achieve it. I guess that is what attracted us to these films
Many of the villains are often shown despatching others with considerable ease, but when it comes to Bond, they can't commit a simple murder without cocking it up.
If you’re referring to the stunts, they cost too much money unfortunately my friend. This particular scene cost a lot to film, and movie makers these days would rather save money by using CGI nonsense instead of actually paying stunt men to perform stunts. The movie though was awesome, totally over the top and reminiscent of the 60’s Bond films, I wish the Bonds films were more like this
actually CGI would be rather more expensive than actual practical work. both needs a big team to do (stunt team and cinematography or VFX artist groups) but stunts are very elaborate to make and take time and much effort. CGI is easier to achieve nowadays and it can look better, depending on the VFX crew and the cinematographers and the money of course
This is one of the spectacular opening scenes. I am impressed that Bond has the time after being pushed out of the plane to chase the henchman, grab hold of him, fight him for the backpack, put it on and get it secured, get grabbed by Jaws, and only then deploy the chute, whilst still appearing to be thousands of feet above the ground. If the plane was flying at 15,000 feet, it would only take about a minute and a half to hit the ground after jumping.
Peopel often dismiss this movie as too jokey and silly. But it's tremendous, escapist fun - it also has some fantastic sets, some of the best one-liners of any of the Bond films, and absolutely marvellous stuntwork. This seqquence has got to be one of the finest in the entire series. No CGI here, they actually did it in freefall (well, not the actual stars themselves of course!). The effort and skill just to _film_ the two stuntmen is breathtaking.
Yup...he shot the heading indicator, so now the plane is "uncontrollable...in perfect VFR conditions....with the F/O side's instruments intact, and the bullets struck a place where there shouldn't be any important controls are located (cables, electronics etc). I mean, if he wanted to sabotage the plane, than he would've been more efficient at shooting up the central pedestal, have Bond wrestle an aircraft with jammed throttle- and prop settings.
No CGI here folks. One of the best stunts ever done for a Bond Film. I remember watching this in the Theater and the audience was totally blown away by this opening.
Coins Most movies dodn't have proper Cgi until 90's. Cgi until then was just some effects and backscreen animations.
Coins it’s called stunt men used stunt men to perform the action scenes. Richard Kiel and Roger Moore had their own stunt men. Moore had a stunt double who performed the action scenes for him and if he was running or anything it was a stunt double.
@Big Chap No, this one is superior.
Too bad Moore didn’t do much of his own stunts
I so prefer these awesome Bond stunts to CGI....
For a 1979 movie, this scene absolutely shocked and amazed me
This is nothing, they made Major Kong ride a nuclear bomb in Dr. Strangelove, and that was all the way back in 1964
(yes this is a joke)
Hello nice to meet you all if ok
@@ArjunKumar-yd3ni With huge cameras of the time, I suppose.

No boring, unnecessary backstory, no obsession with previous films. Just fun action and amazing stunt work.
Yeah, quite childish stuff really...
Love Jaws just coming out of nowhere. Definitely for me the most memorable and enjoyable Bond intro. Still looks impressive 40 years on.
Donald Dewar you can see Jaws sitting in cockpit when the pilot shoots the controls
but they had to ruin this excellent scene with dumb slpastick
Timeless!

Hello nice to meet you all if ok
Nah, didn't like him, he was a Tory.
as silly as Roger Moores bonds were, he did have the best ever unique stunts of all time. Loved his films so much!
123. Movie
His movies also had the best theme and love songs.
@@clemsonbloke For Your Eyes Only! The best bond theme imo. :)
I dont think more was silly at all....he just brought his own unique style to the role and that's what made him special....
Alex D similar To M:I Fallout
Truly one of best Bond opening sequences. If I recall correctly, Jaws landed on a circus tent lol
'74 to '85 were the best Bond films...... RIP Sir Roger.....nobody does it better
An amazing scene. No wonder it took 88 jumps to film the entire free-fall sequence.
ChrisJ092 really??? 88 jumps😵
I used to skydive in the 80s and 90s so yes I believe it took 88 jumps to film. Tom cruise did 100 jumps to film one scene in his last film.
Wow I didn't realize that! That's unreal amazing

I was 10 too. Loved it!!
My face still lights up, an I'm 25+!!!
This, the Goldeneye Opening, and the Goldfinger Opening sequence are my favorites in this series. RIP Sir Roger. You are gone but never forgotten with all your Bond films preserved forever.
nM siR...
These are the best Bond movies the right mixture of humor and action
Moonraker is far from being the best Bond film, but that is definitely one of the best intros in the entire series.
It’s honestly top five for me
💯,that's what I always said,not that good a movie prolly the best stunt besides goldeneye
Totally agree, still holds up as one of the best cold opens. Never get tired of seeing it.

This was the first James Bond movie I’ve watched, and after watching this scene I was obsessed with the series.
Same here.
I loved how Jaws tried to fly by flapping his arms!
Even the doomed henchman seems to be giving it a go, perhaps an expression of panic.
Even funnier that it actually worked - he hit the big top and survived
Lmao
it took five months to shoot this particular sequence. amazing. Back when bond films were truly BONDING
PRASHANTH SVR Five months?!
@fiae42 either way that’s impressive
Ah... I needed that :)
After watching No Time To Die, I needed to remind myself that Bond moves used to fun.
Moonraker is a thoroughly enjoyable film, in my opinion every bit as good and memorable as it’s predecessor
the best pre-credit sequence in Bond history
Its a close second to the spy who loved me opening sequence.
Don't forget Goldeneye
What about On her majesty secret service??
@@tangoandcars9588 with all due respect Goldeneye's pre title sequence was kind of tame, and the CGI used for the plane stunt was plain awful
I have to say it goes to For Your Eyes Only I'm sure it is, when Bond picks up Blofeld in his wheelchair and dumps him down the factory chimney.. Cracked me up when I was a kid 😂
Bond did it 39 years before mission impossible fallout
😎
Tom Cruise did it himself
Wasn't there a similar stunt in Eraser?
@@Ali-xs2ij No one cares, if stunt is performed by actor or stuntman. Audience only care about stunts.
Not one of my favourite Bond movies, but one of the best Bond intros! No CGI, just amazing straight stunt work 👌🏼

RIP Roger Moore and Richard 'Jaws' Kiel.

I remember watching this in the movie theater with my twin brother. We have a similar sense of humor so we laughed our a***s off it was so over the top and so much fun! 😂 What an opening scene! I still remember it fondly!
No matter how many times I see this one scene I feel terrified. Every single time.
Rest in peace Sir Roger Moore and Richard Kiel legends never die
Sir Roger Moore has the love songs and the music
This video reminded me of something. On one of the times Chuck Norris went skydiving, his parachute failed. He returned it, for a full refund, the next day.
Roger Moore did a great job in Moonraker and in the James Bond films❤️❤️😎😉😊😍😍!! We will miss Roger Moore 😢😥😭 RIP !!
Imagine a 12 year-old watching his first James Bond film and this was the first scene...blown away!
It wasn't the first scene: The Moonraker being stolen was.
Love how they didn't even care about having the stunt doubles faces in close ups lol.
Ha ha - Another example is the close up of the guy who drives the split-in-half car during the Paris scene in "A View to a Kill" it is so blatantly not Roger Moore
Inr. In one closeup Bond is wearing goggles.
In the fight where Bond took the parachute they did good work to hide the stuntmans faces
Nobody talks about the awesome design of the plane interior.
Pause at 1:56. Roger Moore managed to acquire a set of goggles and a new face
Also at 2:39 Jaws has a new face with normal teeth and a straight hairline.
I hope you didn't expect 52-year old Roger Moore to do one of the craziest stunt in cinema history.
TheFieldman Fortunately, they used rear projections with Moore and Kiel a very few times only. You can see the difference immediately.
TheFieldman Roger Moore had a stunt double and it was one of mistakes shown on camera that can see the stunt doubles face and the googles
That's how amazing Roger Moore Bond is!
I can tell you that lots of people saw Moonraker multiple times in the theater for this stunt alone.
Classic Bond. Sir Roger is the best Bond ever.
He was meant originally to be Bond even before Connery but he had a TV show at the time and he couldn't get out of the contract.
We should probably decide first what we look for in Bond. If it is humour, class and suavity then Roger Moore is our man, if it is brawn, muscle, roughness around the edges than it's Craig. Personally I go for the former.
Sean Connery is the classic Bond
I love how the first thing that jaws does when he catches up to bond is go for the bite lol
One of the coolest stunts in a James Bond movie!
My grandfather took me to see this movie when I was 5 years old. I thought this part was the coolest thing I'd ever seen, when the music starts playing and he dives after the other guy.
I ended up falling asleep later, but I always remembered this scene.
I love how you never know who these villains are and why Jaws is suddenly on the scene. Just another day in the life of James Bond.
Probably the greatest pre=credit sequence in movie history!
Love James line, a little premature isn't it ? Hahahaha LOL !!!!😂😂😂
Would've been better if it were preceded with "This is where you get off, Mr. Bond"
Tarantino, who had skipped Moonraker, finally saw it and enjoyed this sequence a lot for its technical skill.
2:39 “…even though you see it’s an Asian guy, you don’t care.”
Everything that makes a bond film a bond film in one scene.
Gotta love those pilot's shades that still stay on even after getting some punches to the face.
Possibly my favourite Bond film. Definitely in the Top 3 for me so far (I’ve not seen all 24). What an iconic opening!
Love it when jaws trys to pull his chute and rips the cord out then trys flapping his arms to fly.
As a kid this absolutely rocked me.
I smiled from start to finish....can any modern bond movie achieve that...
2:53 - What happens when your parachute is made in China
Only Sir Roger could keep calm and composed whilst plummeting to the ground without a parachute.
Now that's a real bond movie
I remember nothing else about Moonraker, but this scene completely amazed me seeing it in the theater as a kid and I always remember it fondly.
You can see how the aerodynamic force on Roger makes him look like a stunt double.
I just love it as Bond and the guy are scrapping in the plane, the girl is just like ok you two carry on while I put my parachute on 😅
Hard to believe "Moonraker" was 40 years ago.
Back in those days , they certainly knew how to make a movie !
That dude splatted in the valley. Oh the horror of knowing you'll splat.
He definitely knew he was going to be splattered with all the noise he was making.
I first saw this movie during my elementary days,I think that was in 85 or 86.superb and d best,one of the most exciting bond movie!
2:08 *chills* that music
BJ Worth, Ron Luginbill, Don Caltvedt, Jake Lombard, Rande de Luca. Legends in the sport. Some are retired, some are departed, some are still jumping. Fantastic job. Hats off to all of you!
Had a "youngster" come up to me a few years ago and ask -- "So you've jumped ROUNDS?!?" I guess you have, too. Blue Skies!
Filmed over Lake Berryessa and Pope Valley...east and northeast of Napa. I live near there.
Maybe I am afraid of heights and falling, so this explains my reaction. But I found this to be an emotionally intense scene. I could feel the blood sink to my feet.
In addition to the spectacular stunts and great comedy Moonraker had one of John Barry's most beautiful Bond scores.
I watched this just the other day. It was one of my favorite bond films as I was studying aerospace engineering at the time and soon after joined the US Air Force. The Jaws character was great. Now I enjoy the Man with the Golden Gun because I have been to Thailand many times and enjoy seeing the old footage
So I guess Jaws was hiding in the bathroom waiting for the right moment to intervene? 😂
1:10 Barry drops his improved rendition of the main theme
i also love the cue at 1:52. It gets a bit dramatic.
Imagine the terror of that pilot as he was kicked away, knowing you have no chance to reach bond again, to die that way after being so close to succeeding, the scream was perfect as was the angry howl of despair.
I laughed at his scream but got to admit I would of sounded the same falling that far.
Yeah he has a long time to contemplate what just happened as well.
@@sirfijoe450 Not really. I think I read someplace a person would pass out after a few moments, so he would have been spared having to experience the whole ordeal.
The screams of terror were real- as no one told the stuntman that he wouldn't be getting a parachute...
For years I always thought Jaws was the stewardess in disguise
Jaws had 'some issues' back then
Wondering what happened to her. Did she parachute?
@@TonyMontana-qv8cx I think she . . . went down with the ship.
At 0.15, she gets a parachute.

This movie has one of the best condescending villain lines: "Mr. Bond.... You reappear with the tedious inevitability of an unloved season."
A classic Bond action sequence. No CGI, no shaky cam, no crash editing, made real by stunt men doing all these amazing stunts. Roger Moore portrays the role of gentleman's spy with class and sophistication. Now we have a blonde Bond who's having identity crisis. He doesn't know whether he's Bourne/Statham/Ramboo or whatever.

This for me is the best Bond opening sequence by some margin. Great movie score and stunning cinematography.
This film is everything a bond film should be. It’s total escapism.
Pause at 1:57. Still love this tho, probably one of the best stunts in all of bond history including the new-era bond
Same stunt guy as in the Octopussy scene on the Twin Beech, I believe.
I'm so glad Movieclips have decided to do James Bond films instead of just a few clips from various films, and this is one of my favourites! Thank you Movieclips! :)

Many of the villains are often shown despatching others with considerable ease, but when it comes to Bond, they can't commit a simple murder without cocking it up.
This is what Dr evil points out to Scott in Austin Powers!😂
Haha! I love how the villain would have had to endure a few minutes of knowing he had been beaten by Bond as he fell to his death!

Tom Cruise literally did this from a much higher altitude 2 years ago. Your statement is false.
NavidIsANoob he means the bond movies aren’t made like this anymore
wouldn't be acceptable anymore, the hero pulling off amazing stunts, must be a woman, or black.
It's always interesting how everytime a plane goes into a dive it sounds like a German stuku dive bomber.
This is one of the spectacular opening scenes. I am impressed that Bond has the time after being pushed out of the plane to chase the henchman, grab hold of him, fight him for the backpack, put it on and get it secured, get grabbed by Jaws, and only then deploy the chute, whilst still appearing to be thousands of feet above the ground. If the plane was flying at 15,000 feet, it would only take about a minute and a half to hit the ground after jumping.
Just an action movie, just Hollywood, just to have fun a little while even if it's silly
The miracle of suspension of disbelief.
The guilty pleasure of all bonds this movie is
Rest In Peace Sir Roger Moore. You will always be my favorite James Bond. :( 1928-2017. :(

0:16 so you have a gun pointed at Bond…and you shot the controls instead of shooting him right there.
That is why I love the old bond movies!
Yup...he shot the heading indicator, so now the plane is "uncontrollable...in perfect VFR conditions....with the F/O side's instruments intact, and the bullets struck a place where there shouldn't be any important controls are located (cables, electronics etc). I mean, if he wanted to sabotage the plane, than he would've been more efficient at shooting up the central pedestal, have Bond wrestle an aircraft with jammed throttle- and prop settings.
