James Bond Movie ‘Spectre’ Destroyed $36 Million in Cars

Date:

The James Bond franchise knows how to waste money on a feature film.

When the new James Bond movie Spectre comes out later this year, audiences will finally what it looks like to waste millions of dollars.

According to a Daily Mail interview with chief stunt coordinator Gary Powell, the new James Bond Spectre movie caused an estimated $36 million in car damage alone. Damn.

“We set the record for smashing up cars on ‘Spectre,'” said Powell. “In Rome, we wrecked millions of pounds’ worth. They were going into the Vatican at top speeds of 110 mph. We shot one entire night for four seconds of film.”

The interview goes on to say that seven of the new Aston Martin DB10 sports cars, which were specifically design for Spectre where totally destroyed during filming. Ten of the custom DB10s, which were a collaboration between Aston Martin design director Marek Reichman and “Spectre” director Sam Mendes, were made for this particular Bond movie.

Just so you get an idea here is James Bond’s new car:

And here are a few crash scenes in the Bond teasers where some of the cars were totally destroyed:

But the cars were not the only thing damaged in the filmmaking of Spectre. Daniel Craig got injured during one of the scenes.  Craig ended up having arthroscopic knee surgery after filming scenes for “Spectre” in Mexico.
The new Spectre hits theaters on November 6th.
