Daniel Craig in Skyfalls fight scene on the train.. Fantastic!

I think Bond films are the first to have great openings. Made them famous along with the trick weapons
Goldeneye intro, which ends with Bond driving a motorcycle off a cliff then jumping off and entering a pilotless plane while in freefall is pretty good. But I see it as an homage to the greatest Bond opening of all time:



Fun facts:
Filmed on Mount Asgard on Baffin Island, stuntman Rick Sylvester was paid $30,000. The primary shot from a helicopter didn't catch the jump, but a backup cameraman down below saved the day with his footage.
