James Bond 007 - The Spy Who Loved Me - Lotus Esprit Car Chase

More james bond? ---> https://youtu.be/9Uqktm6nT60

Back when Bond movies were proper Bond movies.

Watching this at the Cinema as a 10 year old Boy in 1978 I thought that Car was the most amazing thing I had ever seen. And when it was driven out of the Sea, I nearly passed out. Brilliant.

He even uses the lights when turning under water. What a gentleman!

Still one of the best looking cars ever built. An absolute timeless classic.

Without any doubt, one of the best Bond films ever. I love it.

The look on his face when he drops the fish....Pricless.

This was the car I wanted as a kid, even without the weapons systems. The other Bond cars were cool, but this one, it was iconic, and stuck with me.

The Spy Who Loved Me, Smokey and the Bandit, Star Wars - being twelve years old in 1977 ruled.

@8:47 The gentlemanly way in which Bond removes the fish from the car. Sir Roger Moore was pure class.

I love the way they had guys hiding in the ocean, just in case bond had a submarine car.

This scene is definitely one of the reasons this movie is held in such high regard among the Bond films. Starts with a motorcycle with a torpedo sidecar. Then Jaws comes off a side street in a car. Once Bond has dispatched them, then suddenly there’s Caroline Munro in the chopper (that scene where the chopper comes up alongside Bond is just goosebumps every time). And apparently Munro is one hell of a pilot to pull off some of those turns (and get in front of Bond!) Then juuuust when you think Bond’s gonna pull some tricky car move or pull into a tunnel, it’s “Can you swim?” Car turns into a freakin’ submarine and takes out the chopper only to THEN get attacked by frogmen AND a small submersible of their own. I love the way Anya hits the depth charge button at the end too. The scene definitely earned the fish gag at the end of an 8 minute rollercoaster.

Coming out of the water with the windshield wiper on and dropping the fish out the window. That sums up the humor of the Roger Moore Bond pictures. Loved them.

Timelessly impressive - no CGI, all real things captured on real film, stunts done for real, no cut and shut editing, style, charisma, something other worldly - just an amazing film.

Interestingly the little boy who points at the lotus coming out the water is Richard Kiel’s (aka jaws) own son

"Ever get the feeling somebody doesn't like you?"

The Lotus and Helicopter scene is absolutely fantastic filmmaking. Beautifully timed.

Just remembered how good that film was.

Man that song during the underwater part is catchy as hell.

Love the cheeky wink from the chopper pilot Caroline Munroe 3:34
