The Spy Who Loved Me/Awesome
- Skiing off a cliff, holding the audience in suspense for several seconds, then opening the parachute. In the colors of the Union Jack. There are records of audiences applauding at that. Stuntman Rick Sylvester deserves special mention, since he was the guy who actually traveled to Baffin Island and skied off the mountain.
- Fighting a henchman, who nearly falls off a building to his death but manages to keep his balance by grabbing onto Bond's tie. The henchman reaches out for help, Bond grills him for information. The henchman tells him everything. Then Bond slaps the tie out of his hand and he falls to his death. Bond walks nonchalantly away, saying "What a helpful chap."
- The car/motorcycle/helicopter/submarine chase, with the Cool Car to end all Cool Cars. Slightly less serious, but still awesome.
- Q: "I want that ready for Akbar's tea party."
- The elaborate battle sequence inside the hollowed-out cargo ship, with Stromberg's forces going up against the combined efforts of American, Soviet and British submarine crews. With a lot of nameless sailors making Heroic Sacrifices all over the place.
- Bond beating the trapdoor in Stromberg's elevator, dodging the weapon under the dinner table, then firing down the tube and into Stromberg's junk.
- Bond catching Jaws with the magnetic crane and dropping him into the Shark Pool. Which is then topped by Jaws killing the shark.
