Both Casino Royale and The Bourne Ultimatum feature the almost impossible looking urban running and jumping skills based on the discipline known as parkour.
David Belle is the originator and his work is featured in the film Banlieue 13 where he plays the main character.
An important characteristic of parkour is efficiency. A traceur moves not merely as fast as he can, but also in the least energy-consuming and most direct way possible. Since parkour's unofficial motto is être et durer (to be and to last), efficiency also involves avoiding injuries, short and long-term.
Sebastien Foucan is a childhood friend of David Belle's, and according to Wikipedia, he's the one, along with a stunt double, being chased by the Bond character. His technique is called "free running," and according to purists is a variant of parkour. Free running emphasizes freedom of movement over efficiency, while parkour is getting from point A to point B as quickly as possible.
