There's no "presumably" about it, Bill Weston did stunts from 1966 (including on the Bond franchise starting with You Only Live Twice) till 2011.


** That RedShirt, a guard only known as Green-4, himself is a Crowning Moment Of Awesome. A somewhat unimposing-looking, skinny middle-aged chap (presumably played by a veteran stuntman) who nonetheless almost succeeds in fighting the much younger, bigger and stronger TheDragon to a standstill. Hell, from the looks of things, Necros didn't even manage to kill the guy. Give that guy his own movie series!

**** Speaking of that fight, how about Bond taking on [[TheBrute the jailer]] and winning, ''while still handcuffed''??

Moments pages are for moments that occur in the story. "Meta" moments are not allowed.


** The [[CoolCar Aston Martin V8]] that Bond drives in this film is awesome in a meta sense as well as its general appearance - it was the first Aston Martin that Bond had driven on screen since ''Film/OnHerMajestysSecretService''. Also, the original car - not the "winterised" version - was owned by the man who secured the new endorsement deal: Victor Gauntlett, then-CEO of Aston Martin Lagonda.



* The fact that Creator/TimothyDalton did some of his own stunts (hanging onto the roof of a truck, sledging down on a cello case, etc).
