James bond front roll

[Goodlifedivers]

Anyone know which James bond or Sea Hunt episode they did a front roll entry into the water? I thought it was in Thunderball but I couldn't find it.

I'm on the 4th season of Sea Hunt right now and it seems to me that recently (end of 3rd season, early 4th) I've seen Mike do forward flips off of his boat and land on his back. That's the best I can do for you. I haven't seen Thunderball in years.

What would Mike Nelson do?

Not really answering your question but funny as hell to watch (the video is about 2 mins long)

These buoys & gulls didn't make the cut for the position of stunt diver in the latest 007 series...

And watch this jackass deckhand push these poor sucker tourists off his boat (smiling and laughing)

[DaveMann]

I just skimmed Thunderball on Youtube (it's a terrible copy) and I saw 007 do a back roll off of a rubber raft, a sloppy giant stride off of a helicopter pontoon, and jump out of a helicopter at about 20'.

I wonder if the James Bond 007 forward roll ever existed or if it's just linked to him.

Didn't Emilio Largo guys do a forward roll in one of the scenes?

[Goodlifedivers]

I think it may be a Sea hunt thing then and James bond got the credit. Unless there was another early James bond film where he went scuba diving also.

[DaveMann]

It just occurred to me, maybe it was a more recent James Bond. In my opinion there was no James Bond between Sean Connery and that new blonde guy who is playing him now. But maybe one of those other guys did some diving. I haven't really paid much attention to those movies.

But I know for sure Mike Nelson started doing front flips off the side of his cabin cruiser either late in the third season or early in the fourth.

If you can find the full length version of this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RSXo3idU7Q8 they do a front roll off a charter boat. Allan had it on DVD a few years ago.

OK, here ya go. Go to Youtube, find Sea Hunt season 4, episode 7. Six minutes and 10 seconds in Mike does a front flip over the rail of his cabin cruiser. This episode also has Miss Landers, the elementary school teacher from Leave It To Beaver in it.

[Goodlifedivers]

entertaining at the very least, but not the scene I'm looking for. I really can't remember if it was in a James bond film or early Sea hunt. I'm confused as why people would call it the James bond entry if it wasn't in a film.

There are indeed a couple of Episodes of Sea Hunt where Mike Nelson does a front roll entry

Found this in the May/ June issue of Dive Training mag:

A tourist asked JYC why they always back-rolled of the Zodiac. He replied, "Monsieur, if we rolled forward we would be in the bottom of the boat"
