The Name’s Bond, James Bond- Secrets About 007

The stunt that rewarded $450

Stuntmen will virtually do anything when they are on set. They are highly trained individuals in their craft, but still some things push them too far. In the case of James Bond, stuntman Bill Cumming wasn’t too eager to get into Largo’s shark infested pool in Thunderball.

It took an extra $450 bonus to get the stuntman in the pool to make the scene happen. He probably could have got a higher price for undertaking such a risky stunt.
