Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • The opening scene, where Bond finally gets rid of Blofeld by dropping him down a factory smokestack.
  • The ski chase, certainly one of the craziest of the whole series. It starts on a ski jumping ramp. Bond is chased all the way down a mountain (even through a bobsleigh track) by Kriegeler and another guy on bikes.
  • Bond kicks Locque's car over a cliff. It's the most vicious Bond ever gets with a villain's lackey during Moore's tenure -- and the most serious, without even a Bond One-Liner -- but considering all the deaths Locque has caused Bond had every reason to do it.
  • The elaborate car chase fleeing Gonzalez's compound. Starting with Bond's Cool Car blowing up, preventing him from using all sorts of gadgets to help escape. He's stuck driving with Melina's beat-up used Citroën 2CV car, which he still manages to use to evade the Mooks and force them into trees and other obstacles.
  • The assault on an impressively positioned hideout atop a freestanding mountain pillar by Bond, Melina and Columbo's smugglers.
  • Melina Havelock pulling off a successful cross-bow shot in the back of Gonzalez diving into a swimming pool.
