THE SPY WHO LOVED ME -- Opening sequence

The opening sequence from THE SPY WHO LOVED ME featuring Roger Moore

[swaminathaniyer]

The total silence from the jump of the cliff to para opening is music to ears and feast to eyes!

[universalexports]

Probably the greatest opening sequence in movie history-breathtaking!

[frisco]

Hands down, the best opening sequence of any Bond film.

The spy who loved me is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING James bond movie
Rest in peace Sir Roger Moore

When i saw this at the cinema back in 1977 the whole audience clapped and cheered when the parachute opened!

Rick his him the credit.  He will forever be part of cinema and base jumping history.  I bow to you Sir Rick!

After watched this film about 8 years, even if I already forgot the title of this film, this dive, silent then parachute moment still melt in my memory. I just want to apprecaite the director, he gave audience such breathtaking moment.

[robashton]

Utterly utterly epic! Off the scale fantastic.

[jimdavis]

Even after the delay between ditching the skis and parachute opening one of the skis hits the shute; dangerous stunt!

[madferit_liveever]

After the great stunt, we have a great song named 'Nobody Does It Better".
After the song, we have a great film ahead.

Those lines pretty sum up 'The Spy Who Loved Me'.

❤ Oh, James!!!😮
Thanks, Sir Roger Moore 😊

Tom Cruise's new stunt for Mission Impossible 7 definitely took inspiration from this. Its always good to see practical effects and real stunts in modern movies.

Hands down, this is my *FAVOURITE* opening sequence of all the Bond films.  OMG...  An actual skiing BASE jump off of a cliff?  *This* is why CGI will never best practical special effects stunts!  Can you imagine computer animators coming up from scratch every nuance depicted in the freefall?

It's only half of the opening sequence, but the parachute stunt is still great, obviously!

[daboys]

Rick Sylvester made that jump in July 1976 off of Mount Asgard on Baffin Island in northern Canada.

[generalaxel]

This was the most expensive stunt ever made at that time, and still is! :) So cool!

[YuanPhoon]

Oh James...Union Jack parachute really? You're meant to be a SPY!

[scsutton]

This even got the future King of England on his feet.

[markb]

Nice scene. Always one of my favorites. But you can see they must have had several takes because the track leading up to the cliffs edge has been skied before this shot. I doubt if there are many casual skiers doing this on a remote part of Baffin Island Canada.

[edwardstd]

I wonder if the skis and ski poles are still there in the snow someplace.
