Goldeneye (1995) Chase Two

Arguably one of the best 007 chase scenes. This is the one involving the T-55 tank.

Ourumov and Simonova take off in a chauffeur-driven GAZ. Bond chases them in a T-55 tank.


The chase officially begins with the T-55 crashing through the wall of a St. Petersburg compound.


The chase goes through streets, alleys, and sidewalks.


At the end of the alley sequence, two UAZ jeeps full of Russian soldiers crash.


The T-55 then chases another two UAZ jeeps and two Lada police cars. The four try to escape in reverse. At the same time, two more Lada police cars arrive to help. They end up crashing into the other four vehicles. The T-55 mows over all six of them.

The T-55 runs over more cars.


Then, the tank hits a pedestal at a traffic circle and ends up having a winged horse statue sitting atop it. The statue lands on two more Lada police cars, which promptly rear-end the tank.


The GAZ races to a waiting armored train. Bond leaves the T-55 on the train track and shoots the train. He jumps off of the tank right before the train crashes into the tank, destroying it.
