2. BOND FLARES UP
From Russia With Love

One of the great pleasures of the 007 franchise is its long history of thrilling boat chases (see Live and Let Die, Moonraker, and The World Is Not Enough for other prime aquatic action). But Bond is at his surf-spraying best in From Russia With Love when he's being pursued at sea by three SPECTRE boats crammed with baddies firing grenade launchers. What does Bond do? He turns his boat's extra gas barrels into floating bombs by igniting them with his flare gun, frying up some SPECTRE henchmen. Bond 3, SPECTRE 0.
