Quantum of Solace (2008) Chase One

This may be one of the costliest chases (in cars used and injuries to stuntmen) in 007 history.

In the opening scene, two black Alfa Romeo 159 sedans full of goons are chasing Bond, who has Mr. White in the boot. The backdrop is Lake Garda in Italy. They enter a tunnel.

The men in the 159s are shooting at Bond. A truck loses control and sideswipes Bond's Aston Martin DBS, tearing off the driver's door. The DBS does a 360. They come out of the tunnel. Immediately, one of the 159s crashes into another truck head-on.

A couple of Italian cops in a Defender 90 join the chase. The three vehicles race down an open pit mine. The cop car loses control and falls off a cliff, barely landing on the Aston below.

Bond finds his gun and shoots at the remaining 159, causing it to go off a cliff. Bond escapes and enters Siena.

CKY
