FOR YOUR EYES ONLY | Bond's chased by assassins

Bond (Roger Moore) ski’s down the mountain pursued by assassins on motorbikes in FOR YOUR EYES ONLY (1981). Filmed in Cortina, Italy, the motorbikes’ wheels were fitted with special spike-laden tyres to ensure they could grip the snowy ground while travelling at 50mph.

One of the best chase scenes in cinematic history. No asinine CGI. Just great stuntmen and fantastic editing. Classic film making at its best from a bygone era where movies needed talented production crews over latte sipping computer cgi goons.

I saw this in the movie theater when I was 16! This scene alone with the music, had my adrenalin pumping when I had left the theater! I thought it was one of the best chase sequence's that I has ever scene! That music has stayed with me over the past 40 years, regardless of the disco era music! With respect to Sean Connery... Roger Moore will always be Bond to me!

One of the best Bond chase sequences in the whole series. The bobsleigh part in particular has amazing stunt work and was incredibly dangerous. Superb.

As an editor myself ... this has got to be one of the greatest editing jobs in a film I have ever seen in my life.

No CGI effects The skiing in the bobsled track is pretty sick Grew up with this as a kid

[NickTheStallion]

This scene takes me to another world, the immersion is insane, it's like you're hypnotized! And Bill Conti's epic music only makes the experience more wonderful.

[LukeKetchum]

Fast and exciting. For Your Eyes Only has to be Roger Moore's best bond film ever!

So much fun stuff in this sequence

0:35 - the 'twang' sound from those flags as Bond goes through 😆
1:57 - the guy who gets the cake thrown in his face
3:17 - Bond waves to the bobsleigh crew
3:21 - Bond signals to the crew to go faster (pure Roger Moore) 😆
3:38 - the "wheee" sound effect and cow as Bond flies out of the bobsleigh run 😆
3:49 - the chicken sound effects as Kriegler goes through the barn and then hits the log in a comical crash

I watched this scene over and over as a kid, probably one of my favorites.

One of the best-paced long action scenes in the series.

[kasrakhatir]

Bill Conti's Score is Magic. I seriously recommend it for gym or everyday Jog or even walk

[greatwuta]

One of the best 007 films of all time. Most overlooked 007 film too.

[sawnoff]

The bobsleigh part is still seriously impressive stunt work!

[GuineaPigEveryday]

Finally an official Bond youtube channel for posting all my favorite scenes from this legendary, and amazing franchise/series

[GuineaPigEveryday]

Its like the producers rewatched the action scenes from On Her Majesty’s Secret Service and thought “we can do it better.”

[jamesthewineguy]

Love Conti's composition--worked so well and the brass and violins make this so Bondian/European.

[PennProductions]

One of the best chase sequences of the entire franchise! Skiing and biking down a bobsled course is totally awesome!

[robertbeckman]

Best Bond ski chase, bar none. The cinematography was fantastic. My favorite part of the movie is when Bond breaches the rope right after the jump and fouls up the second sniper attempt. An awesome POV shot was when Bone legs and skis race over the camera during the earlier part of the motorcycle chase. I know FYEO doesn't have anything spectacular, but it's crammed with the small and medium stuff all throughout. It's my favorite Bond film.
