Use

As Bond and Wai Lin sped down the streets of Saigon on their BMW Cruiser, they were handcuffed together, and constantly swapping positions to get a view of their pursuers. One of Carver's helicopters had given chase with a cabin load of machine gun wielding guards, as Bond approached the top of building with a huge drop, Bond got a run up and jumped the bike over to the other building. The buildings in Saigon being dilapidated, the bike crashed though the roof and into a residents living room. As Bond and Wai Lin drove across balconies, they collapsed into a pile of rubble behind them. Finally Bond outsmarted the chopper pilot, by grabbing a washing line cable, slid the bike under the chopper blade, and threw the cable into the chopper's rear rotor, causing it to crash and burn.
