In a one on one fight, always count on Bond… | James Bond 007

Shooting took place on TOMORROW NEVER DIES on this day in 1997 ahead of principal photography. Among the cast was a young Gerard Butler. | James Bond 007

The HALO jump in TOMORROW NEVER DIES was a real stunt performed by professional skydiver B.J. Worth, who completed 80 jumps to capture the sequence. In the film, Bond (Pierce Brosnan) jumps from a C-130 cargo plane wearing an oxygen mask. The high-altitude, low-opening (HALO) technique means the parachute is deployed only at a low altitude after free falling from high up. | James Bond 007

“Next time I’ll take the elevator.” The leap down Carver’s HQ in TOMORROW NEVER DIES (1997) was a stunt in two halves. Stunt performers Mark Southworth (doubling for 007) and Wendy Leech (Wai-Lin) jumped from the Sinn Sathorn Tower in Thailand. At Frogmore studios in the UK, Pierce Brosnan and Michelle Yeoh repelled down a five-story section — by moving the banner up the building, the actors looked like they moved down all 43 floors. | James Bond 007
