James Bond’s 10 Most Memorable Chase Scenes

Hollywood has produced many memorable car chases over the years, but few on-screen speed demons rival James Bond. Some of Agent 007's greatest moments took place behind the wheel of his tricked-out Aston Martin. Ahead of the release of No Time to Die on Friday, October 8, Uswitch has compiled a list of the most iconic chase scenes from the franchise's history.

The Lake Garda car chase from the 2008 Bond film Quantum of Solace tops the ranking. The scene delivers the impressive stunts viewers have come to expect from the series, and the treacherous, mountainside setting ups the stakes. Daniel Craig's fourth Bond movie, Spectre (2015), takes second place for its memorable chase scene in Rome. The character never looks cooler than when he's speeding his spy car down the side streets of the Italian capital. Several pre-2000s installments appear on this list as well, including Goldeneye (1995), Live and Let Die (1973), and The World Is Not Enough (1999).

The car insurance quote comparison website Uswitch looked at numerous sources to determine which James Bond vehicle chases are most beloved by fans. After rounding up the most famous scenes listed in articles online, they analyzed the number of views, searches, likes, and dislikes each clip has on YouTube, as well as the IMDb rating of the movie it's from. After plugging these data points into a formula, they came up with the list below.
