On this day in 2015, the SPECTRE crew were shooting part of the high-speed car chase through the streets of Rome between Bond’s Aston Martin DB10 and Hinx’s Jaguar C-X75. Stunt coordinator Gary Powell said: “For the drive down the steps we put a layer of concrete wedges over the original steps to protect them, and the walls were clad in steel and painted to look like concrete. We respect the places we work in and make sure they aren’t damaged.” | James Bond 007

On this day in 2015, the scene was filmed where Bond (Daniel Craig) chases Hinx (Dave Bautista) in the Austrian mountains in SPECTRE. Stunt coordinator Gary Powell said: “In the morning the roads would be ice, it’d warm up to -6 degrees and in the afternoon it’d go cold again. We could do a run down, drive back up again, and by then the road would have turned back to ice.” | James Bond 007
