Quantum of Solice taking Bond action to a new level

bond460

The set of ‘Quantum of Solace’ the latest Bond flick is proving to be a little unlucky for the films stunt drivers. Last weekend, one of the stunt drivers dropped an Aston Martin DBS into a lake in Italy and escaped with minor injuries – unfortunately the same cannot be said for the DBS. The video below shows that the DBS definitely came out the worst for wear in this little incident.

Following the ‘Aston incident’ comes news that there has been a second crash on set. This time though, the driver is in a serious condition and filming by the second unit has been suspended while the accident is investigated.

The accident occurred during the filming of a chase scene between an Alfa Romeo and Bond’s DBS. The film’s budget director while no-doubt concerned about the injured driver, is we suspect grateful that it was an Alfa Romeo that hit the wall and not another Aston Martin DBS.

you could make it into a convertable, the wheels still look good tho, that is one wrecked car!

Daniel Craig is insisting that production company EON fits his Bond car with special tyres during promotional activities. Tyres that will actually be able to handle the amount of horsepower produced by the Aston Martin DBSs he’s cruising around in. After all the crashes that occurred during the shoots… I have a cousin working at EON who told me. I didn’t believe it at first but then he showed me a photo he took with his mobile (check it out). http://img382.imageshack.us/my.php?image=dcs0408kz3.jpg Looks good!

It’s turning into a real soap, all this hoo-ha with Bond 22! How much influence does Craig really have… demanding special tyres. They also say he helped come up with the name QoS. Wacky!
