Bungee Jumping in the Media

Several major movies have featured bungee jumps, most famously the opening sequence of the 1995 James Bond film GoldenEye in which Bond makes a jump over the edge of a dam in Russia (in reality the dam is on the Switzerland-Italy border, and the jump was a genuine jump by a stunt man, not an animated special effect).

In the television program The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, the secondary charactor Trevor was killed while proposing to Hilary Banks during a bungee jump aired live on his television news program.
