Bond bosses smashed 12 new Aston Martins during 'Quantum Of Solace' filming
London, October 11 : Creators of the latest James Bond flick blew two million pounds
after smashing 12 new Aston Martins during the filming of 'Quantum Of Solace'.
The British luxury performance cars, which were donated for the Bond movie for the
purpose of advertisements, were used to depict real-life crash scenes for the movie and
are now beyond any use - even for spares.
The DBS supercars that were thrown at mountains, riddled with bullets, and even ending
up in Lake Garda were destroyed during the filming of 'Quantum Of Solace', starring Daniel
Craig as the 007 agent.
"I love it when Bond loses the driver's door of the Aston - with every car that comes
past him, every shot that's fired at him, the risk is so much greater," the Daily Star
quoted second unit director Dan Bradley as saying.
Gary Powell, the stunt co-ordinator, said the motors were "smashed to f***ing pieces"
and that when one DBS suffered more damage than intended, the producers simply ripped off
a piece from a brand new car to continue shooting.
However, the one supercar that had its fate ending in Lake Garda still managed to fetch
a whopping 200, 000 pounds when a fan decided to pay for its wrecks.
