Car Crash On Bond Set Injures Stuntman

(AP)  Officials in the Italian resort of Lake Garda say a stuntman was gravely injured in a car crash while filming the new James Bond movie.

A spokesman for the northern town of Limone sul, Garda, says the stuntman suffered serious head injuries when he and another stuntman crashed during a car chase sequence on a winding lakeside road.

The spokesman says the stuntman underwent surgery at a hospital in nearby Verona. He said the second stuntman was slightly injured.

The accident occurred on the last day of filming at the lake on Wednesday.

It is the second accident on the Italian set of "Quantum of Solace."

An Aston Martin went off the road Saturday and plunged into the lake. Producers said the driver suffered minor injuries.

Stuntmen (stuntpersons?) are tough guys. That''s why they get the big bucks. It ain''t like working in a bank or a library.

Wasn''t too keen on Daniel Craig when I first heard he was taking over the Bond role. But I have changed my mind. I like him. He''s so much better than an actor like Roger Moore who I think was the WORST Bond ever. Awful. Moore never looked like he could break up a teddy bear picnic let alone kick butt like the greatest Bond of all time Sean Connery.

"Quantum of Solace"? Where did they dig that up?
You have got to be kidding. Change that immediately. Sounds like the title of a TV program about the solar system or some *** thing. Awful.
