Second unit director Arthur Wooster said: “We had barefoot-skiing world champion Dave Reinhardt doing the stunt for us. There was so much water flying around, which meant that we could get big close-ups of his feet. Later we added shots of Tim.” | James Bond 007 | Facebook

She’s flinging men over her shoulder and smashing bottles on their heads.” | James Bond 007 | Facebook

LICENCE TO KILL’s tanker chase was shot on a disused piece of road near Mexicali. For the moment where the five tonne vehicle tilts on its side to avoid incoming missiles, a rig was devised to tip the tanker but proved unnecessary. “The tanker driver (Rémy Julienne) appeared on location. He put a ramp up and he just drove up, and he put the tanker on its side. It was quite amazing,” said 2nd unit special effects supervisor Chris Corbould. | James Bond 007
