Thank you Man Scaramanga abnd MBE for the welcome.

I think you might take it back in a second when I say that I didn't notice anything all that wrong with the stunts from AVTAK. The only thing I thought was wrong was the idea of James Bond making a soufflee, but that is for a different post....

I also think it is great when any star does his or her own stunts -- it definately makes things more real, and allows for better filming opportunities. That being said, I would think there had to be some way to create a stunt that looks real and still doesn't put an already weakened knee in danger. If the Stunt crew can figure out how to safely get a man on motorcycle from one building to another via the sky (TND) then they could have figured out a way to use Pierce's strengths, while protecting his weaknesses.

Or perhaps, I am being naive. That has been known to happen. ;-)

Brosnan gets injured in all his Bond films:

Back problem in GoldenEye
Cut lip in TND (stuntman's helmet) - (Not TWINE JimmyBond )
Burnt back from nuclear test bunker in TWINE
Knee injury in Bond20
Broken fingernail in Bond21 :-)

[JimmyBond]

Well, Brosnan did cut his lip during filming the boat chase in TWINE. Not sure how long that kept him from filming. What does all this show? That Brosnan is very keen to do the stunts, even if it kills him. Not sure if thats a good thing though

he also cut his finger pretty badly before shooting ge. in his first scene with robbie coltrane, he couldn't hold the gun properly cause his finger wouldn't bend and had to strap his finger down.
i've heard about the back injury when shooting ge and was rushed to hospital, was that true?

Now would be a good time to film those hospital scenes we've heard about.

Good point :-D
I was just watching CNN and they have had this news on for a while now. It's #2 on the top news chart of cnn.com I quote M when I say "Unlike the American government we don't like to get outr bad news from CNN."

This is such bad news. If he is out for too long, they may have to film the remaining stunt scenes using completely doubles. Then we would end up with another debacle like AVTAK, where you can see the stunt men in every shot.
I hope he's OK and it's nothing serious. This is a terible set-back.
Shocking...Positively shocking!!

Poor guy, I hope he gets better.

...And, on a more selfish note, I hope this doesn't become another excuse not to reveal the title next week (if that indeed is the plan).

Amen to that, Brother zencat.

You're really selective to your amen.

[White Knight]

yeah I saw that. I'm so glad the release date won't be delayed!
