just like in civilian life, a new tech gadget fails to work or the batteries run low or reception is awful. then you have to know stuff like how to pop start a vehicle with a clutch (hint: use second gear not first)
I love how the young henchman driving the first car is SUPER into the chase, like really enjoying himself. Gives the nameless nobody expendable bad guy some actual character. Like he's probably had a boring life as a guard up until now, suddenly, it's car chase time, and he's having a blast.
The actor is Michel Julienne, the son of driver/stuntman Rémy Julienne who was in charge of most of the road stunts for the John Glen's 007 movies. We can also spot him in Octopussy, A View To A Kill and The Living Daylights !
This has to be the greatest advertisement for the citroen cv ever created..brilliant scene from the golden age of bond films..RIP roger and thank you for the wonderful childhood memories.
Can we just take a moment to acknowledge the dedication these henchmen had to the job? Their boss, Gonzales, is dead and they decide as a unit to go avenge him.
I love how all those nice people came along to help them flip the car back up and then helped them push to start it up again. Such a lovely gesture of human kindness.
Watching Daniel Craig 's Bonds make me miss the good ol' fun and escapism Roger Moore days. So ridiculous yet so brilliantly entertaining! ...and always had the best soundtracks to boot! RIP Sir Roger! Thank you for being my fav Bond!!
@@ChibabaDaveYou can thank Bourne for making Bond a bit more serious. You can also thank Die Another Day for being one of the most ridiculous Bond films ever.
Carole Bouquet is just gorgeous, so beautiful and she's so cool in this film. Sir Roger truly delivers here too. This is his best Bond performance alongside The Spy Who Loved Me I think. Love Melina, love For Your Eyes Only.
Always found this movie to be very underrated. Roger Moore was great as a more serious Bond (well, more serious than his usual schtick) in a grittier setting.
This and On Her Majesty's Secret Service are in my view the two best Bond movie and two of my favorites. They complete each other and are two really good movies.
"I love a drive in the country, don't you?" - that was not in the script. Roger Moore spontaneously came up with it. Very funny. This sequence, maybe the best car chase in the Bond series, is typical for John Glen (the director): it transfers the humour of Bond to the action scenes; John Glen's action sequences are always staged very well, have great real-life stunts and always the most creative ideas on how to make use of the location, the local scenery. Using the Citroen was a brilliant idea of Glen - just like the cello in "The Living Daylights".
3:50 - Roger and Carole are obviously being shaken in a jig-mounted car in front of some rear projection here, and when Roger says "Love a drive in the country, don't you?" you can tell that Carole's laugh in response is genuine. 😆
I read an obituary piece the other day which described Roger Moore as "the people's Bond". It's so, so true. A cockney who affected an accent to get ahead in auditions. No-one has a bad word to say about the man. "Love a drive in the country, don't you?" is an example of his humour and humility and why the cast and crew on every film loved working with him. Yes, his films generally had a lighter, comedic feel (but not always), but he gave escapism during the energy crisis, recessions, labour unrest, conflicts. I remember my grandad (who would've been about the same age as Moore) flicking through the TV channels and an episode of The Saint was on with Templar having fisticuffs or a car chase with someone. My grandad cheered him on by shouting "go on, Rog!!" He was a symbol of cool 1960s Britannia that lasted into the 80s.
If you listen to the excellent commentary by Roger Moore on the blu-ray it's quite funny because he counts the amount of times Carol Bouquet smiles in the entire movie, and it was twice 🤣
Moores best movie along with The Spy who loved me. One of my all time favourite Bonds. I will never forget going to watch it with my older brother it was so exciting.
Also notice how no one is seriously hurt in the chase and earlier on, a guard is hit over the head,, rather than being stabbed or shot. It does prove that Moore's Bond only kills when he really has to, although the way he dispenses with Emil Loque later in the film is brutal.
@@Darthzilla99 Locque was known as a heartless killer and had killed one of Bond's girlfriends and would have driven over Bond without any emotion. His death was justified.
@@Glenn1967ful I wasn't debating the justifications of the kill. I was simply relaying that Roger Moore himself felt uncomfortable with the scene (he also hated the machine slaughter scene in A View to a Kill.)
A really clever action scene using the winding road and that truck to finally defeat the bad guys, after they keep missing it. Always loved this action scene, the helicopter scene at the start,(My favourite in the film) and the ski chase. A very skilfully made action film, but then the Bond films always had the very best talent to pull it off in ALL their films!
Fun fact: For Your Eyes Only was Blofeld's final appearance in the franchise before the Daniel Craig movies! In this film, Blofeld was played by Robert Reitti, though he was left uncredited.
Its a great chase. Although on watching it there I'm wondering how the cars caught up with each other with the 2CV going straight downhill.(I know its only a movie!)
I doubt it. Notice as soon as Roger Moore said the first word, she began laughing. That tells me it's scripted. The script called for her to laugh, but she laughed prematurely, without letting Moore finish his line.
@@wwbdwwbd The two of them are in a studio in front of a projector screen in a stationary car that's being rocked back and forward while they both rock back and forward to simulate movement. She feels ridiculous and knows he's about to say something funny before he says it. That's why she smiles and then laughs.
The first bond film I saw at the cinema and remains one of my favourites. Bad Ass and totally underated. And 40 years later I'm Still in love with Carole Bouquet.
Carole Bouquet was a very good Bond girl. She was stunning and kicked ass too, not just there for eye candy. I'm surprised not many Bond fans recognize her alongside Izabella Scorupco, Halle Berry and Michelle Yeoh as good Bond girls.
I couldn't possibly forget her. She was quite lethal with a crossbow. Melina is still among my favorite Bond girls next to Pam Bouvier (Carey Lowell) and Kara Milovy (Maryam d'Abo).
Berry is a beautiful woman, but as a Bond girl she was sorely lacking. And I agree that the Bond girls of the Dalton era and GoldenEye who were very beautiful have been very underrated. And without a doubt Carole Bouquet is the top 1 of the most beautiful face of Bond girls.
@@cmolodiets For Your Eyes Only is what is on the file given to Bond by the Defense Minister as it is Top Secret mission for no one else to know about to find whereabouts of the ATAC after the spy ship is sunk and Melinas parents are murdered.
Oh god this car chase has that 80s James Bond theme background music, then Roger nods at the villains and the mess they all caused in that area makes it all so funny 😂
Best chase in a James Bond movie ever, so far. Humour, skills, none Q invents, with cheap cars and the best James Bond movie BSO ever made by Bill Conti.
@TheSmithersy I nearly did. When the olives fall on the road it's like driving on ice. I had a couple of 'brown trouser' moments I can remember to this day.
@@andrewdepedro4182 It was in the script. It was actually filmed in Corfu. The coach that JB met in the film in the village survived as a base for a sailing school on a local beach.
At the time of its release, this movie with it's veering away from gadgetry, was considered to be Roger Moore's second best James Bond movie (behind The Spy Who Loved Me).
3:46 sums up the whole Roger Moore era for me. It's exciting, it's tense, it's action-packed, and then there's Roger Moore there with a nudge and a wink to make you laugh.
Seeing the innocent yellow 2CV get away from those big bad menacing relentless black Peugeot 504s through the chicane at 3:06 not due to speed or agility, but simply due to Bond being such a skilled driver and never giving up, is probably the best part of the chase. Along with Bond tricking the rear Peugeot into ramming the shit out of the forward Peugeot at 3:15. Speeding downhill and getting unexpectedly rammed hard before what would be a left-hand turn, the rear of a RWD car would spin out exactly like that, then get carried rolling down the hill. Truly FANTASTIC filming. It’s basically like filming hand-to-hand combat, except with automobiles. Right up there with Ronin’s two main car chases except 20 years earlier with far clumsier automobiles.
Fun fact: Roger Moore stated in an interview with Top Gear’s Richard Hammond that he loved the Citroen because he then added, ‘it doesn’t matter if you hit it!’ ;)
If i remember correctly, when this film came out.............if you decided to go buy a 2CV you could order the extra option of having bullet hole decals attached to the bodywork?
They used the same car throughout the entire scene. Pretty impressive. Even the car crash scene from GNR's "Don't Cry" video took three '65 Mustangs driven off a cliff to get that shot right.
With the knowledge that pretty much all licenced Bond things are adverts, its amazing how unlike most manufacturers who avoid any and all serious damage to their cars, Citroen advertised their car through its sheer tenacity, with Bond even explicitly stating that it was being "out-horsepowered" by the Peuguots. I love Citroen's tongue-in-cheek advertising of the 2CV, in posters too! :3
I used to love this car chase, because it was the first one I ever saw that showed the occupants either during or after the car flipped over. I especially love when the one car was spun around on its top. Reminded me as a kid me doing that to my own Matchbox and Hot Wheel cars. lol
Way before Craig, this scene inspired the Roma car chase in Spectre, were Bond doesn't have gadgets on his car, so he has to use his wit and skill to get away from the henchmen.
What a sound track this had. Barry was brilliant but when other composwrs stepped in they helped make some iconic and unique sound tracks. Another thing lacking in todays bonds
This is my favorite James Bond chase of all time. No gadgets and very little horsepower; just Bond's skill as a driver.
Yep, seventies-early eighties had three great Roger Moore bond films - "Live And Let Die", "Spy Who Loved Me" and "For Your Eyes Only".
This chase remind me Gendarme movies with Louis de Funes)
Agreed!!
just like in civilian life, a new tech gadget fails to work or the batteries run low or reception is awful. then you have to know stuff like how to pop start a vehicle with a clutch (hint: use second gear not first)
No corny smokescreen attachment, so he looks for anything analogous to it. It is a great change.
(On edit: bad typo. Fixed.)
“I love to drive in the country, don’t you?” 🤣 her chuckle made it even better.
That line was Ad Libbed by Roger. The laugh was Carole reacting.
@@DrewSavo wow that's amazing
You can tell it was spontaneous and not scripted!
@Colt Wolf You're thinking of Caroline Cossey. The lady in the car is Carole Bouquet and she's had two kids.
@@Thomas828You can also tell that Roger's got game 😂
Love this scene and the music. Had a bad childhood but Roger as bond always made me feel safe.I miss him
Hope you are better now!
Every one from time to time feels that way. I hope you are better now and be surrounded by people who love you
Rogers films used to pick me up to. He is dearly missed. No one can pull off a fun bond now. He nailed it
Love the music at 1:50 too!
May God bless you and help you!💝
I love how the young henchman driving the first car is SUPER into the chase, like really enjoying himself. Gives the nameless nobody expendable bad guy some actual character. Like he's probably had a boring life as a guard up until now, suddenly, it's car chase time, and he's having a blast.
It's the nod at 02:27. No villain can remain stone-faced after that polite 'Good day to you' look.
He was also in one of the Timothy Dalton movies! He does look like he's loving life

@@Blank_Frank The same stunt team as those behind The Italian Job. Probably the best crew in the world.
@@Blank_Frank I like to think he is part of a henchman driving agency and its actually the same character.

Gotta say, Carole Bouquet was a serious crush of mine back when I was a kid!
For me as well. Still is.
There's something about French women.

And as someone who has been to Spain that scene is very realistic as how wonderful the people of Spain are
RIP Remy Julienne, the french stuntman that orchestrated this car chase. Fun fact, they used only ONE 2CV for the whole sequence.
Ill never say anything bad about French cars ever again!
I've heard that they used 5 cars of 2CV.
@@tubesweety No, I remember an interview of Remy Julienne shortly after the making of the movie where he stated that only one 2CV was used.
@@builder396 you can say every bad word there is about french cars these days, they dont build them like they used to anymore.

Watching Daniel Craig 's Bonds make me miss the good ol' fun and escapism Roger Moore days. So ridiculous yet so brilliantly entertaining! ...and always had the best soundtracks to boot! RIP Sir Roger! Thank you for being my fav Bond!!
I never cared much for Moore (I was a Connery fan), but the Craig movies made me learn to appreciate the pure entertainment value of the Moore films.
Pierce Brosnan too. Remember when he was playing with the car in Tomorrow Never Dies.
The franchise claims they are trying (too hard) to not look like Austin Powers...
exactly. Craigs are boring and depressing. Trying too hard to be gritty and failing on all fronts. Bad Sound tracks, Bad plots, bad films all round.
@@ChibabaDaveYou can thank Bourne for making Bond a bit more serious. You can also thank Die Another Day for being one of the most ridiculous Bond films ever.
The sales of Citroen 2CV's rocketed after this scene in the film! Probably the best advertisement Citroen ever had!!
Carole Bouquet is such a stunning beauty. WoW!
jane seymore was still better. and live and let die was a classic Roger Moore film
@@mohammadabdulfarooqi3068
They're both classic Roger Moore Bond films.
the best is when she pulls off her safari hat after killing the bad guy with a bolt from her cross bow, saving James Bond
The editing in this scene is terrific. When Bond brakes causing the two henchmen cars to collide, that couldn't have been edited more seamlessly.
Carole Bouquet is just gorgeous, so beautiful and she's so cool in this film. Sir Roger truly delivers here too. This is his best Bond performance alongside The Spy Who Loved Me I think. Love Melina, love For Your Eyes Only.

Makes sense, her laugh seems out of character.
Absolutely agree--the chases are fun, thrilling, and Moore has natural charm and wit.
Car in the tree always makes me smile
She actually broke character and laughed there. Good bit of direction to leave that in lol
Carole Bouquet is a really underrated Bond girl.
Too bad her voice is dubbed due to her heavy French accent.
she's pretty
She is stunningly beautiful.
@@StephenLuke Really. Never knew that. Makes you wonder why they didn't just use an actress without such a heavy accent.
One of my top three Bond girls.

ROGER MOORE IS JAMES BOND OO7..... Sir Roger's most grounded Bond-film and his Bond at his very serious tone is still one of my favourites.....
One of the BEST car chases ever.

Probably the best advertisement the 2CV ever got.
