IN WHICH OUR HERO… In a small boat, chases a much bigger boat
SETTING UP THE SCENE: After witnessing a deadly explosion in the offices of MI6, James Bond (Pierce Brosnan) borrows an experimental jet-propelled boat from Q and gives chase, up the Thames…
WHY IT’S SO GREAT: A suave (and tuxedoed) secret agent chasing after a fetching (and leather-clad) assassin? What’s not to like?
BEST PART: Bond taking an overland shortcut through the streets of London (4:50)
OTHER GREAT CHASES LIKE THIS ONE: The boat-scenes from Live and Let Die and From Russia with Love. And don’t forget the jet-ski chase through a flooded high school in 1998’s Hard Rain.
