I'd accept that if this was a Matrix scene, not Bond :face: Although it's good to see a real stuntman in real air and not CGI.

It's kind of the Tom Cruise MI:2 thing, where two motorcyclists, each driving 90mph at the other, leap off their bikes into each other and yet somehow don't wind up looking like a telepod accident from THE FLY. Also, Cruise physics inspired by MATRIX, I guess: the ' spring-loaded sand' that lets him kick a gun up into his hand in the most ludicrous manner possible.

When I saw MI2 in theaters, I thought that part was the coolest thing ever.

That thought also occurred to me, about Bond jumping from the bridge to the train. Maybe it's just a weird angle that makes the height of the fall look a lot bigger than it really is.

This bit always looks to me like someone trying to do the MAD MEN opener in live action.

Turnabout's fair play, I guess, since MM's open looks to be a bit inspired by CR's credits.

There are more pictures around somewhere...

Ah, here's one.
