How ‘No Time To Die’ Pulled Off James Bond’s Opening Chase | Movies Insider
Presented by Smirnoff
The opening action sequence of "No Time To Die" finds James Bond racing through the streets of Matera, Italy. Special effects supervisor Chris Corbould, who has worked on 007 classics like "GoldenEye" and "Skyfall," explains how the crew loaded the Aston Martin DB5 with gadgets, made a pristine vehicle look damaged, and how pouring soda helped cars and motorcycles speed through ancient cobblestone streets.

100%, the effort and work that goes into Bond stunts is way better than the combined stunts in F&F. Let alone how much in F&F is cgi. I mean you don't see them doing Bond-level stunts where stunt performers are literally hanging of the back of a propellor plane, or breaking bones holding on to the side of a moving train. Bond stunt performers and stunt coordinators are masters of their craft.

I wouldn’t even think of comparing those two films. For one, most films employ CGI in part. Even Bond used a helluva lot of CGI in Roger Moore and so did Sean Connery. So one film is just that, one film. It was also Daniel Craig’s last outing, so the budget was blown wrecking real Land Rover’s in the forest scene with the Toyota Land Cruiser. But the final scene with Remi Mallak was crap! If I want real car chases I go to stock cars 😂

Also Fast & Furious definitely disproves that idea that movies are scripts not stunts, for studios in the end its about what makes the money. In comparison Fast & Furious 'stunts' are child's play compared to the amazing stunts done throughout the 24 bond films. I don't see a stuntman holding onto the back of a propellor plane or breaking their body holding on to the side of a train in any Fast & Furious films.

It's one of the hallmarks of Bond films that the special effects are done physically as much as possible. I witnessed a lot of the production of Quantum of Solace in Panama and was surprised at how much of what I later saw in screen was indeed what I saw in the flesh. There are some very dedicated and creative people involved. Can't wait for the next chapter of the saga.

I saw the original Goldfinger DB5, at the Boston Garden, around 1965 or 66. Two were used in the movie but only one had the gadgets. It had been the Turin Auto Show show car before being used in Goldfinger. It fired blanks from the machine guns and shot a dummy out of the roof. After the show, several kids ran out on the floor and collected the shells. That car was stolen from a hanger at the Boca Raton airport about 10 or 15 years ago and has never been recovered. It is thought it was out of the country,(and in a private collection) before it was noticed missing.

Can't say where the FX crew got the idea, but it's an old trick from indoor racing promoters.

Also, slot racers applied sticky "glue" on their track surfaces for decades.
