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
