of this one
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top 10
best escapes performed by James Bond in
the film series this is your last chance
come out with your hands above you for
this list we’re looking at the close
calls and narrow misses that the British
Secret Service agent always seems to
find his way out of warning spoiler
alert
oh is this frisky lovin isn’t a touch of
a good woman this isn’t good
number 10 snowboarding escape a view to
a kill
come on take James Bond usually counts
on the inventions of Q to keep him safe
in the field but in this scene from a
view to a kill the agent has to
improvise his own creation to escape
from an avalanche of baddies
the snowmobile he was writing gets shot
up and explodes leaving him to think on
his feet and the result sees him turning
a ski from the sled into a snowboard
bond effortlessly carves through the
mountain thanks in part to snowboard
inventor Tom Simms acting as a stunt
double and helped boost mainstream
awareness in the extreme sport in the
process I thought you’d never get back
well it was a heck of a crowd on the
piste
number nine crocodile escaped live and
let die this is the part I like best
feeding time
I suspect the highlight of the tour
there was no clear escape for
double-oh-seven when he found himself
trapped on an island in the middle of a
lake filled with equal parts water and
crocodiles in the eighth film of the
Bond series there are two ways it’s just
able of crocodile you know left to die
by mr. BIG’s villainous henchmen teehee
our beloved agent appears to be a goner
but the world’s greatest secret agent
turns lemons into lemonade
or in this case crocodiles into a bridge
and finds his way to safety to
everyone’s relief
number eight surf escape die another day
gentlemen I promised you a demonstration
now you will see the true power of
Icarus it’s Anna spies best interest not
to make waves but there are no rules
against riding them after being betrayed
by Miranda Frost
pierce brosnan as the mi6 agent has to
break out of British billionaire Gustav
graves ice palace while evading the
icarus satellite which sends out a
controlled blasts of solar energy that
cuts through a glacier and causes a
tsunami
it’s a matter of minor inconvenience for
our die another day hero tho who makes
his epic escape with an improvised
surfboard and parachute
number seven gondola escape Moonraker I
can only hope your presence here is a
coincidence Mr Bond
I dislike being spied on and then we all
James Bond just cannot enjoy any
downtime
while floating down the canals of Venice
in Moonraker the agent is ambushed by
Hugo Drax is armed henchmen in a
speedboat double-oh-seven s gondola has
a couple of improvements over the
standard-issue model thanks to upgrades
from Q so bond flips a switch to reveal
an inboard motor that helps him speed
away to complete the escape bond
activates the hovercraft skirt and
glides through st. Mark’s Square
number six submarine car The Spy Who
Loved me right now pay attention Table
seven I want you today great care of
this equipment now one or two rather
special accessories you have I ever let
you know free energy bond cars are
always worth fawning over even when
they’re not actually a car yeah the
feeling somebody doesn’t like you after
saving amasova and infiltrating Carl
Stromberg’s base in Sardinia
double-oh-seven and his companion find
themselves being pursued by a flock of
armed enforcers and a helicopter as well
James drives his Lotus Esprit off a pier
only to have the wheel well seal and
fins shoot out the vehicle in the spite
loved me now belongs to Elon Musk who
will probably figure out a way to mass
produce it alone at last
number five remote-controlled car
Tomorrow Never Dies welcome please
fasten seatbelt and obey all
instructions for a safe trip thought
you’d pay more attention to a female
voice the BMW 750il is equipped with
everything a spy could need to make an
escape even if he isn’t behind the wheel
I think we understand each other
mm-hmm our job elusive and tomorrow
never dies while a parking lot full of
bad guys investigates the vehicle bond
takes control remotely with a cell phone
jumps in through the rear window in
secret then proceeds to drive it out of
harm’s way without ever getting into the
driver’s seat I’m safe driving be void
warranty
now that’s some solid backseat driving
number four tiger helicopter goldeneye
what you are about to see in operation
is europe’s answer to the electronic
battlefield the first working prototype
of the tiger helicopter a lot of the
gear bond works with requires precision
ask for the eject button on the tiger
helicopter not so much upon awaking tied
up in the cockpit of the stolen aircraft
double-oh-seven has to think quickly to
save himself and the stranded Natalya
Simonova in Goldeneye after banging his
forehead against the control panel to
hit the eject button he launches him and
Natalia to safety and out of harm’s way
number three handcuffed
motorcycle-riding Tomorrow Never Dies Oh
next time I’ll take the elevator it’s
not uncommon to see James Bond with a
woman at his side but in Tomorrow Never
Dies this is a slightly different
scenario
double-oh-seven and chinese security
force operative Wei Lin find themselves
handcuffed together and are forced to
share a motorcycle as they attempt to
escape through the streets and rooftops
of Saigon bonus points to bond for
learning to share and for performing an
impressive jump over the top of a
helicopter
number two rocket belt Thunderball I’ve
come to offer my sincere condolences my
dear colonel devar I don’t think you
should have opened that car door by
yourself bond needs to make a quick exit
before being chased by bodyguards
double-oh-seven
turns to the rocket belt a low-powered
means of propulsion that helped the
agent jump from the roof of a chateau to
his Aston Martin and even while in a
hurry to make his escape Bond makes sure
to wear his helmet so what’s the lesson
learned from Thunderball safety first
kids no well-dressed man should be the
rough one yes very practical before we
unveil our top pick here are a few
escapes that just escaped inclusion on
this list
brace yourself
you’re fading from my picture Mr Bond
but the end cannot be far away
Oh God
number one escapes a missile Octopussy
well it’s a small world
you’re a Toro to my fiancée my humble
commune the pre credit scene of
Octopussy begins with an undercover but
captured bond freeing himself from his
captors
this leads him to make use of the
airplane provided by cue and hidden
behind the backside of a fake horse
which is a strong start
but it only gets better from there as
bond skims over the heads of his
pursuers outmaneuvers a heat-seeking
missile directs it into a hangar full of
bad guys and successfully rolls up to a
gas pump to refill his tank
of course double-oh-seven can still play
it cool and deliver a one-liner to the
gas station attendant fill er up please
do you agree with our list are you
forgetting one thing
what predicament do you want to see bond
wiggle his way out of for more
