He never said anything about a stunt person dying, but during the scene where the Aston fills with smoke and starts weaving through oncoming cars, the stunt driver in the oncoming vehicle (apparently not realizing that the driver of the Aston was driving blind) crashed head-on into it. The stuntwoman playing "Bond's" passenger in the Aston Martin was critically injured, and ended up successfully suing director Hal Needham.
mister car from 971 ◊ 2008-01-01 03:38	Woaaaaaw!!! Cette Aston Martin est magnifique! Et elle est typique des 60's, d'autant + que c'était celle utilisée dans les 1ers James Bond avec Sean Connery!
jimshine ◊ 2008-04-25 06:55	It was a woman that was hurt, but she also wrote a book and she claimed she was hurt doing the police car spin out. I don't buy it as if you pay close attention, there was more than one Aston Martin used to film the movie. Pay close attention to the close up shots as the interior changes a little and the windshield wipers not only change model, by the direction they wipe. That leads me to believe that there was likely a right hand drive car used to fill in after the crash and they flipped the image to make it appear to be a left hand drive car.

Not really - I think the idea was that the Seymour character had delusions of being Bond by virtue of the car, and having Connery play the character would have spoilt the joke a little. Besides, I don't think Connery does jokes - with the possible exception of the Never Say Never Again film...
MartinBond ◊ 2009-07-16 16:18	"Damdadadada dadadadadamm" "would you mind? Very civil" I just love Roger Moore as Seymour Goldfarb - as Roger Moore in this movie! The fact he has his own tune every time the DB5 is feautured in the movie says something about both his and the car... is it a Bond-DB5 or a normal one fittet with some options for the movie? (EG the rotating licence plates?)
