Watch These Techno-Loving Lunatics Recreate the ‘Goldeneye’ Bungee Jump

In 2002, seven years after the release of GoldenEye, Wayne Michaels’s 220 meter bungee jump from the opening scene of the movie was voted the best movie stunt of all time in a poll for Sky Movies. At the time, it was the longest fixed-point bungee jump ever. (There are at least two longer since.) In short, the stunt is one of the most iconic scenes in any action movie, a special feat for a career that’s perennially underappreciated.

Of course, jumping off the Verzasca Dam in Switzerland has been a popular pastime for thrillseekers ever since. Above, we have a lovely group of normal (read: not tuxedo wearing) bungee jumping types, who took the leap a bit more than a week ago. The quintet consists of Angerfist, Crypsis, MC Prozac, Chain Reaction, and Bodyshock. Yep, that’s MC Prozac, and yep, that’s a remix of a Moby remix of the James Bond theme for the soundtrack. It really doesn’t get much more extreme.
