Don't let the 1970s ski suits and disco score fool you—Roger Moore's third Bond kicks off with one of the most harrowing stunts ever committed to celluloid. Filmed on Canada's Mount Asgard, alpinist Rick Sylvester (doubling for Bond) schussed off the cliff's 3,900-foot sheer face with a Union Jack chute. Of the three cameramen, only one caught his epic plunge. The other two? They were fed to a school of malnourished piranha.
