Madeline Smith, Miss Caruso in #LiveAndLetDie, shares her favourite 007 moment: “I love a mixture of excitement, humour, chills and an element of surprise…The New Orleans Marching Band parading through the streets playing the funeral march, then breaking into joyful jazz and dancing after they magically pick up the body of the murdered MI6 agent.” | James Bond 007

Bond takes to the water for the thrilling LIVE AND LET DIE (1973) boat chase. The scene used 26 boats, 17 of which were destroyed. Screenwriter Tom Mankiewicz said: “I knew there was going to be a boat chase and until we started shooting, it just said, ‘The most terrific boat chase you’ve ever seen,’ because I never got around to writing it. That really happened as a result of going around the bayous and seeing the different stunts they could do.” | James Bond 007
