Skid 2007-10-13 19:34	I read Brock Yates' book "Cannonball" not long ago, and he talked a lot about the filming of this movie. 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.
