Bond jumping off roof-tops to balconies. More quick hand-to-hand combats and less gun fights. James Bond being monogamous (Wow!) with his love interest Camille Montes.

I will agree that the editing in QoS is very Bourne like and I found QoS very middle of the road for a Bond movie, but all the actions scene similarities you mentioned, Bond did before Bourne ever did. Bond drove smashed up cars in FYEO and AVTAK. The roof top chase in Bourne is almost an exact rip off of the roof top chance in Tangiers in The Living Daylights. The early Bond movies also had more quick hand - to - hand combats and less gunfights like From Russia With Love and On Her Majesty's Secret Service. Bond got less physical with the casting of Roger Moore (and continued with Brosnan) because Bond was played by a less physical actor than Connery/Lazenby and now Craig.
