During the tank chase in St. Petersburg, which horseman's statue did James Bond 007 knock down (and subsequently drop on the cop cars chasing him)? I'm pretty sure it wasn't the statue of Peter the Great (that one looks vastly different), but might it have been the statue of Tsar Nicholas I?2601:646:8A00:A0B3:70AE:764:63A1:67AC (talk) 10:32, 4 February 2019 (UTC)

Can you find a youtube item that contains that clip? ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 10:48, 4 February 2019 (UTC)

It is Tsar Nicholas according to the Ian Sharp (director) and Chris Corbould (stunt coordinator). They have many interviews about it on the Internet. The stunt was assumed to be very complicated, but according to Corbould, they got it in one take. 209.149.113.5 (talk) 20:07, 4 February 2019 (UTC)

Lucky them!  :-) (Of course, that was a replica, not the real thing.) 2601:646:8A00:A0B3:70AE:764:63A1:67AC (talk) 02:12, 5 February 2019 (UTC)
