007 - Pierce Brosnan VS. Maria Grazia Cucinotta on the river Thames (The World Is Not Enough)

Pierce Brosnan chasing Maria Grazia Cucinotta on the Thames river.
The boat chase scene in "The World Is Not Enough" is one of the most thrilling sequences in James Bond film history. The chase begins after Bond, played by Pierce Brosnan, retrieves money from a Swiss banker in Bilbao and hands it over to oil tycoon Sir Robert King at MI6 HQ in London. When the money explodes, killing King, Bond spots an assassin, played by Maria Grazia Cucinotta, known as the Cigar Girl, escaping on a boat. Bond quickly commandeers a high-speed experimental boat from Q's lab to pursue her.
The chase unfolds along the River Thames, showcasing iconic London landmarks such as the Houses of Parliament. Bond's boat is highly maneuverable, capable of moving on land and water, which he demonstrates by driving it through a restaurant and performing daring stunts, including a mid-air barrel roll.
The scene culminates at the Millennium Dome, where the Cigar Girl opts to blow herself up in a hot air balloon rather than be captured by Bond. This pre-credit sequence is the longest in Bond film history, lasting 14 minutes
