Seriously, there are 12 action sequences alone set in the snow, that averages out to nearly 1 out of every 3 movies had Bond skiing, snowboarding, bobsledding, or driving on the ice! One thing I've learned the Bond franchise would never change no matter the action trends of the time: sequences set in the snow, in the water (preferably with sharks), or fights in hotel rooms. In its long history the Bond franchise has sometimes set the trend for action, at times it was just a collection of mediocre set pieces going through the motions, and at other times it merely imitated the trends of the day.
This sheer persistence and staying power of Bond over seven decades offers a chance to see the evolution of cinematic action. Since 1962 the Bond franchise has had twenty-six films, six different Bonds, and by my count, well over one hundred and fifty action sequences.
