Pierce Brosnan, Halle Berry and Toby Stephens all had to parachute during the filming of this latest James Bond film which was directed by Lee Tamahori.
This was the third Bond film that we had the opportunity to work on and just like the first 2, we had a fantastic time, as well as being extremely challenged once again.
We were employed by the executive producer, Tony Waye and co-producer Callum McDougall to take part in a last minute script change where James Bond And Jinx, leave a Chinook helicopter in south Korea and fly undetected into north Korea
This was achieved by flying a manually guided single passenger vehicle, called a Switchblade, designed as a rapid and precise insertion glider into hostile territory which employs stealth profile design technology.
Once over the designated landing area both James Bond and Jinx deploy a parachute to complete the insertion to the landing site undetected.
Toby Stephens,
the new villain (Gustav Graves) had to parachute into Buckingham Palace
with a Union Jack parachute before collecting his knighthood.
