Whereas the Bourne films' fight coordinator Jeff Imada explicitly drew from the Filipino art of Kali and the Chinese art of Wing Chun in order to give a realistic presentation of fighting, the choreographer for Quantum of Solace clearly uses a blend of various arts and reality-based self-defense systems. In the movie, Bond mostly uses concepts found in reality-based systems like Krav Maga, Kapap, Haganah, and Systema. This is evidenced when he instinctually and intelligently uses anything within reach to fight in the hotel in Haiti (he grabs a vase, a shoe, etc.). This is also evidenced when he fights Greene, using his forearms to protect himself while closing in to disarm the opponent, and when he uses any and all parts of his body to beat the agents in the elevator (even while he's cuffed). Also in evidence are concepts used in arts like Aikido and Chin-na. A perfect example is when Bond disarms the man in the hotel by trapping his arm and bending his wrist (a joint lock). Arts like Krav Maga, Kapap, Haganah, Systema, Aikido, Chin-na, Kali, and even Wing Chun are the most frequently used/practiced/borrowed from by "secret agents" and other people whose jobs require them to be able to fight in closed quarters and go up against armed opponents. Arts like Krav Maga are frequently taught to police officers and soldiers, and field agents frequently use joint-locking concepts found in Aikido and Chin-na.

What martial arts were used in the movie Charlie's Angels?
Of course Martial arts was used in Charlie's Angles, but as for the specific type I am not sure. If it is like most other movies, however, it is probably a vast array of different types. Usually, because of all the different martial arts there are, when people are taught a martial art, and then learn more than one, when they reteach one or the other they combine them. But in the movies, depending on what the directors want in the scene, the type of martial art will change, because every martial art specializes in a different category! Lucy Liu personally practices the martial arts of Kali-Eskrima-Silat (knife-and-stick fighting). But the choreographed moves were a mixture of several eastern martial arts including various styles of wushu and karate.
What type of Martial Art is Ranma ½ based on?
Ranma ½ isn't based on any one style of martial arts, but several of them, and many of them are parodied or are inaccurate. The school of martial arts that Ranma and his father, along with Akane and Soun Tendo practice, is known as the Anything-Goes School of Martial Arts, so while it incorporates numerous actual martial arts techniques, it also uses ridiculous "techniques" and fictionalized martial art styles.

What is the martial art used in Casino Royale and Bourne Ultimatum to propel characters off walls and into buildings?
The type of fighting used was "kali" also know as Filipino Martial Arts. This is especially true for Bourne but was used to a point in Casino Royale.Kali/FMA is very old (much older than most Asian martial arts) and is in fact not a martial art, but is instead a fighting system. Martial arts incorporate aspects into them that serve no specific purpose when pertaining to a fight. Everything is used for a fight in Kali. It is also the only martial art that starts trainees off with a weapon at first and then you work to open hand. All others start open handed and work towards a weapon. FMA does this because it is easier to learn how to improvise and fight with an open hand after one has leaned to use a weapon, than to fight with a weapon if one has not had any training for it. The weapon is an extension of your body. Lastly, FMA came into ist final form with the spanish invasion of the filipines, but has in fact been around since around the year 200 A.D. and has only changed and become more lethal (now incorporating the use of knives and swords as well as sticks and the body). As for the running scene, the type used was not parkour but was actually called "Free Running." It was developed by Sébastien Foucan and incorporates aspects of Parkour. The difference is that parkour is meant to get a person from one area to the next, as efficient as possible. Free Running is instead meant to get a person from one area to the next in the most aesthetically pleasing way. That is why you see things such as "vaults" used in CR and in Bourne Ultimatum. Wikipedia either one and you will see the difference.AikidoA variant of Aikido , I think? It is pure physical ability, not a specific martial art. Individuals that study martial arts improve their strength and flexibility, often allowing them to do things that seem well beyond the typical human's abilities.--------------If you are talking about in the beginning scene of Casino Royale where Bond is chasing the guy all the way to the embassy, the guy is doing parkour. Its not really a martial art, as martial arts is for self defence. Parkour is the ability of getting or moving yourself from point A to point B as quickly and as efficiently as possible. Theres lots of websites out there that will teach you about parkour, instruct you on how to do it, and show you it in action.
