The greatest Bond opening of all time. A gunfight in a chase scene after just having necked on a woman for a minute, then The Jump, then the best Bond theme ever. What a way to start one of the best Bond films ever.
@Randy White I agree pierce is the best looking, I can't understand those people who think Lazenby is the best. I think its between him and Craig that's the least best looking.
@@esmeephillips5888 yes, he looks more like a cage fighter or boxer that's knocking on abit. Hes not a naturally good looking guy like most of the rest.
I love how different versions of M always call 007 his best man, best agent, the best they have (etc) but only when Bond is off screen. M will never tell him!
That is pretty much what their relationship is ike. Like a somewhat authoritharian father. Then they made M into a woman and tried to explore, unnecessarily, this relationship, even though it had always been there.
I was 10 when I first saw at the flicks in the late 70s ' this one introduces Jaws as a villian henchman ' one of the most awesome of adversaries with his superhuman strength and metal teeth which he uses to bite his victims jugular veins.
And to think, the Bond films were all produced by an American family: Cubby Broccoli and family, along with Canadian Harry Saltzman in the first Bonds up to 'Man with a Golden Gun'. The films were directed by British directors whom Cubby hired, and the German designer (who became a British citizen) Ken Adam (recommended by Stanley Kubrick) who designed much of the look of Bond, rounding out the films with mostly British and Canadian cast and crew. A lot of folks don't know that it was Cubby and company who introduced the gadgets, and many more iconic elements of Bond, none of which are in the novels. As much as I like Ian Fleming's writing, the films are far superior stories in my opinion.
@@robbiereilly yes the film's have added some iconic elements to Bond. But I don't know what the Craig era has added to the character or his world that is positive. All I can think is a emotional story arc, as long as they don't go overboard with it. The only other thing is from casino royal, and that is attention to detail with the script/ story. Have that be the driving force of the movie not just the action set pieces. But they have to get that balance right.
I have NEVER watched a Daniel Craig James Bond film. I will go from Dr No to Die another Day in the James Bond Films. But after that i am not interested. I think Daniel Craig ruined the James Bond portfolio. All big man action and none of the witty quips James Bond used to make.
Roger Moore was my favourite James Bond as I was born in March 1963 I recall my mum taking to the pictures to see Live and Let Die my favourite James Bond film as it goes. I even had a watch like James Bond had in the film and LED watch which lit up with red numerals when you pushed the button.
Rick Sylvester, most famous for his BASE jumping using skis and a Union Jack parachute from Mount Asgard in Canada for the James Bond movie The Spy Who Loved Me in July 1976.
I honestly never get tired of watching this opening sequence. The yellow jumpsuit. The ski chase. The parachute drop off the cliff edge. The union jack. The credits with bond, the gun, and the gymnast. The theme song by Carly Simon. Just pure gold.
My friend ask me to babysit her seven year old son a while ago. He had never seen James Bond before, so I showed him Goldfinger and this back to back. Instant fan.
I met Roger Moore during the filming of Octopussy I think ' in the early 80s my late paternal grandfather was a make up supervisor on the set ' had a photograph with him and my younger brother which I still have ' I was about 14 I think ' seemed a warm character with a good sense of humour just like his Bond character ' hope he continues to RIP.
One of the most amazing practical stunts ever filmed. I still get goosebumps. It could have ended tragically if that ski collapsed the parachute. Moore's best performance as Bond.
Best opening scene out of all the Bond offerings up to this point and that absolute classic Bond 77 theme..i loved it then as i do now but with every passing year it gets cooler and cooler the further we get from that beloved disco era
I was an eleven-year-old boy when I watched this movie. It's the one movie experience I'll never forget. Everything about the movie was memorable. It was my first Bond movie, and it was the Bond movie I compare all other Bond movies to. I was captivated by all the beautiful actresses, especially Caroline Monroe.
@@Hutzjohn Oh, yes, indeed. I watched "At the Earth's Core" around 1978, but I didn't know at the time that it was the same actress that played Naomi. I didn't learn that until I was in my teens. By the time I read the novel as an adult, I pictured Caroline Munro as Dia.
That was a guy named Rick Sylvester In 1971, he skied off the top of El Capitan in California and descended approximately 914 metres (3000 feet) by parachute. This was conceived as "the world's greatest ski jump". Then using skis and a Union Jack parachute from Mount Asgard in Canada for the James Bond movie The Spy Who Loved Me in July 1976. He was paid $30,000 for this stunt.
Can’t remember how many times as a kid I saw this and Moonraker in the cinema. Way before anyone had a video recorder. Every kid in my school had a birthday party and went to see these movies. Great memories 🫶
Recently everyone was stunned by the motorcycle jump and parachuting stunt that Tom Cruise did for the latest Mission Impossible movie. But I don't think many of them realized that such a stunt was performed in spectacular fashion more than 45 years ago. It is still breathtaking after all these years.
The Bond Series has never really gotten the credit for some of the insane stunts that they pull off. The water-skiing sequence from License to Kill is one of those stunts that I just struggle to fathom whenever I watch it.
@@eddixon2015’the bond series has never really gotten the credit it deserves for some of the insane stunts’ What the fuck are you talking about with such revisionist bullshit?

The first and best Bond movie i ever seen in the cinema in Newcastle long ago i was just a boy. Wonderful song and action. And Beautiful Barbara .thank you Roger RIP.
My 007 underwater Lotus was my favourite childhood toy and this is hands down the greatest Bond opening ever…the images…the song…the parachute…no other 007 film did it better
When this movie was first released my brother saw it in the cinema and said when the parachute opened revealing the British flag , the whole cinema erupted in riotous cheers.
I'm sure someone already said this in the comment section but the Stunt Man came inches from dying when the parachute almost pierced and got tangled with the ski. The stuntman never even knew because his focus was on the horizon but later when they saw it on film they realized how lucky he was. 3:24
My Dad was an extra for pinewood studios and was in many films including James Bond, the sweeney and many more. Grew up in London with the big boys at the time( Krays). This was the best time for movies and the golden age of cinema. Very proud
Roger Moore was a true James Bond actor; handsome, charming, charismatic, funny, well dressed, and so fun. That’s why he made the most Bond films. He was a just a fun Bond character.
If you look at the portrait of The Queen above Moneypenny’s desk, it is a staple in EVERY Bond film. It is shown in every film, regardless of the decade.
A monumental intro to the epic iconic action that makes James Bond stand out above amoung other action films series. This film is a key moment for Bond for featuring not only a new level of stunts, but also a great intro song with cool memorable visual effects.
Favorite Bond move...one of my favorite opening sequences...favorite Bond actor (Roger Moore)....favorite Bond girl(Barbara Bach)...favorite henchman(Jaws).
Love how it’s a mini movie before it even starts ! No CGI AND THANK GOODNESS. Nothing like this now. Thank you for some awesome memories Bond! Amazing!
When I was 14 years old when I went to see this movie at the cinema with my friends, my first time on the big screen. Simply memorable. So many good memories Lord Thank you!
Best opening ever. They don't produce quality like this anymore. I can remember it as a 9year old. Moonraker was a good one too but they peaked with this one.
My friend at school saw this film before I did. The next day he described to me in absolute minute detail the entire movie. It didn't spoil it for me at all. I couldn't wait to see it for myself, and it did not disappoint, still doesn't.
Saw this at the cinema when it came out. I was 6 years old, it was the first Bond film I had ever seen and I was hooked!! It is by some distance Moore's best outing and one of the greatest Bond films ever. It also remains the only film I have ever been to see where the audience has stood up and applauded at the end. After The Man with the Golden Gun, the Bond production team and Moore were under pressure. Boy did they deliver!!!!
The first Bond premier i got to see....with my late father, and i can still see him smile now at me when the parachute opened up. Still the best opening sequence of any bond film.... something tells me the reboot of the franchise will take us back. In time to cold war 007... Miss you dad, thanks for giving me bond as my life long inspiration
I remember seeing this in the Empire Leicester Square in London, not long after the movie opened. When the Union Flag parachute opened at the end of the sequence everyone stood up and cheered. Those were rough times in the UK, & people needed the boost.
People talk about the stunt at the beginning -- which IS one of the best opening Bond stunt sequences -- but for me it's the design of this opening credit sequence. You have the great theme song but the photography, compositing, and the colors of this sequence are fantastic! The film is already one of the better Bond films -- IMHO, the best Bond film featuring Roger Moore -- but it has that fantastic opening design sequence!
The Spy Who Loved Me was a banger. One of the very best in the series, and the one that made Sir Roger my favorite Bond until Daniel Craig's appearance.
Hands down, the best James Bond pre-title sequence of all time. I don't even think that kindly of Marvin Hamlish's score (it's a score I respect more than I do actually like), but his unique disco synth'd up version of the Bond theme which prominently features in this scene (called "Bond '77") is one that grows on you and the following title sequence song "Nobody Does it Better" is the quintessential Bond theme. Oh, yeah. This entire opening from pre-titles to titles is THAT good.
Such a great opening. I remember watching in the theater when I was young. The crowd went wild when that parachute opened up!
Oh, man, I wish I was there to see that. Must’ve been so cool to see this in the theaters.
The free fall went on forever and clearly an influence on the Tom Cruise motorcycle stunt in last mission impossible film.
Same here , I was 10 and my eyes got huge wide when that parachute opened with Union Jack and the whole movie was fantastic
Yep. I same thing in the theater I was in. Bond was totally Back!
Me and my friends went to the theatre four times to see this movie. And to this day, it never gets old.
The greatest Bond opening of all time. A gunfight in a chase scene after just having necked on a woman for a minute, then The Jump, then the best Bond theme ever. What a way to start one of the best Bond films ever.
Yes it is the best Bond theme ever
what about Golden Eye?
@@006kll Totally fake. This was an actual stunt.
Roger moore once said that this was the best bond he starred in. I agree
@@jonburrows8602 no it wasn't. The shot of Bond going off the cliff after the plane with the bike falling was done for real.
Absolutely the 007 song of all time for sure
007 ???? I thought Carly was singing about ME 🤦♂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
My favorite John Barry composition too!
Too many too choose from, certainly top in three.
In my top 4
Goldfinger by Shirley Bassey #1
The best opening scene to any James Bond film. When the parachute opens. Awesome.
British pride
I heard the bit where the Union Jack parachute opens used to regularly get a standing ovations at cinemas.
We didn't stand but everyone started clapping when I saw it. It's such a great moment.
We're British we don't do that kind of thing. There was a loud cheer though.
Yes, its true, I saw it on the movie theater in the 1980s, public applaused
@@pauls3075 Did you see the movie in Britain?
This scene never gets old. RIP Sir Roger Moore. The most Handsome and Suave Bond ever
My .name is James..007.🧊🧊🪂🪂🚥🔥
@Randy White I agree pierce is the best looking, I can't understand those people who think Lazenby is the best. I think its between him and Craig that's the least best looking.
The new Mission Impossible Dead reckoning trailer looks at it and then asks whose copying who?
@@mrmeerkat1096Craig is like a night club bouncer.
@@esmeephillips5888 yes, he looks more like a cage fighter or boxer that's knocking on abit. Hes not a naturally good looking guy like most of the rest.
I love how different versions of M always call 007 his best man, best agent, the best they have (etc) but only when Bond is off screen. M will never tell him!
i find it interesting that M has no idea where his best agent is, and bond is on a mission that M doesnt seem to know anything about.
That is pretty much what their relationship is ike. Like a somewhat authoritharian father. Then they made M into a woman and tried to explore, unnecessarily, this relationship, even though it had always been there.
The best opening scene and the best Bond theme ever at the start of my favourite film from the entire series.
Thanks Dad for taking a 9-year old boy to watch what would be his favorite Roger Moore 007 movie with the best OST in 1977.
Pops are the best 😊
I was 10 when I first saw at the flicks in the late 70s ' this one introduces Jaws as a villian henchman ' one of the most awesome of adversaries with his superhuman strength and metal teeth which he uses to bite his victims jugular veins.
Jaws really scared me as a kid. He was a great villain. And yes, my Dad took me to see this when I was way too young also. He loved James Bond!
Wow that scene brought back some vivid childhood memories, boy do I miss those times and my family.
Same! I had a major crush on Roger Moore
I miss those days so much. The Roger Moore Bond movies and theme songs were the backdrop of my teenage years
That is the best cold open of the entire series. And I’m a die hard Connery guy.
It will never get any better in British cinema. This is sheer delight!

Great James Bond Film from 1977 The Spy Who Loved Me One of My Favourites of all times
If you look at the portrait of The Queen above Moneypenny’s desk, it is a staple in EVERY Bond film. It is shown in every film, regardless of the decade.
I’ve often wondered if the Queen would have ever done a cameo-similar to what she did for the 2012 Olympic opening ceremony-in a Bond film….

The earliest Bond-movies was the best Sean and Roger ruled! 🇸🇪🇬🇧
Great beginning to a film , great 007 film and a great song , one of my all time favorite bond films
Such a beautiful opening. Danger and beauty. The silhouettes were stunning. Song is absolute perfection, too
The 007 I grew up with, Sir Roger Moore...
First class films. the 1980’s were such fun! Lovely relatively innocent days. Great films.
They're the best because i grew up watching them.
I saw this in a packed theater way back when. When the Union Jack parachute opened, the audience roared with delight.
Those were the days when the Union Jack still meant something.
Best opening ever. They don't produce quality like this anymore.
I can remember it as a 9year old. Moonraker was a good one too but they peaked with this one.
Alan Partridge described this to a tee...........
He didn't mention the Dymo tape emitting watch!
He said lemon piping; it looks like cherry to me.
A whole sumbarine? You're joking!

Yeah well James already blew his load so wtf does he care bout her needs😂

@@joeo2533 That was my fave.
I was in the theatre back in Xmas 1977 watching this movie great stunt I was shackened but not stired It was the same time Star Wars was released.

1977 was Silver Jubilee year ' so that scene was fitting for the time.
It still one of my favourite bonds. So much great scenery. Music was great. Newer bonds never mentioned the following one at the end.
Absolutely badass
They will never make them like this again, never ever. Glad we've still got these to look back at.
The 70s had some of the best movies ' this among them.
My favorite Bond credits, favorite bond song, and the best Moore Bond flick. “Well, tell him to pull out. Immediately!” Ahhhh. Those were the days.
Back when they know how to make movies that entertain the audiences
A perfect scene. Cinema in its finest. Marvellous.
Roger Moore is still my favorite Bond.
Oh, i love it so much, and what a great Song!
The Ultimate Bond scene.
Reminds me of when Adam West spoke to Burt Reynolds, his stunt double, in "Hooper." West's character said, "Make me look good, Sonny."
The best part of James Bond movies with Roger Moore is the soundtracks.
I wasn't looking but somehow you found me.... What a line in a song!
People talk about the stunt at the beginning -- which IS one of the best opening Bond stunt sequences -- but for me it's the design of this opening credit sequence. You have the great theme song but the photography, compositing, and the colors of this sequence are fantastic!
The film is already one of the better Bond films -- IMHO, the best Bond film featuring Roger Moore -- but it has that fantastic opening design sequence!
Those gun and rifles sound effects send shivers down my spines I love the original 70s sound effects ❤❤❤
Great opening, great theme song. Moore's best Bond film in my opinion.
Perfect, nobody does it better!
Beautiful
Imagine watched the movie when it came in the cinema. All sheer entertainment!
The Spy Who Loved Me was a banger. One of the very best in the series, and the one that made Sir Roger my favorite Bond until Daniel Craig's appearance.
Wouldn't say Daniel Craig was up to Roger Moore's standard.
Craig was perfect until they made him too emotional.
Hands down, the best James Bond pre-title sequence of all time. I don't even think that kindly of Marvin Hamlish's score (it's a score I respect more than I do actually like), but his unique disco synth'd up version of the Bond theme which prominently features in this scene (called "Bond '77") is one that grows on you and the following title sequence song "Nobody Does it Better" is the quintessential Bond theme.
Oh, yeah. This entire opening from pre-titles to titles is THAT good.
Great film, great soundtrack.
I love the silence before the parachute opens
