Die Another Day
We have supplied a range of materials to the last 5 Bond Films. In Die Another Day, over eight tonnes of special polyurethanes and silicones were required to help create the spectacular ice palace. We provided six and a half tonnes of “Smash”, a special polyurethane developed by Smooth-On, and over one and a half tonnes of flexible “rubber glass” silicone for the scenes in the ice palace and the special series of car chase stunts.
The most spectacular sequence required James Bond’s Aston Martin to crash through the huge ice palace doors constructed out of 400 kilos of “Smash.” The high speed stunt has now been recognised as the biggest single use of breakaway glass.
