When No Time To Die (the 25th installment of the spy film series) required a motorcycle stunt on slippery cobblestone, the outgoing English actor came to the rescue just like his quick-witted fictional character.
Stunt coordinator Lee Morrision revealed in an interview with Total Film that it was Craig’s idea to use Coca-Cola to make the cobbled streets of Italy sticky, so that the latter’s stunt double Paul Edwards can land safely after hitting a ramp.
Yes, you read that right: your favorite sugary soft drink, and nearly 32,000 liters of it.
“I spent nearly EUR60,000 (almost P3.5 million) spraying Coca-Cola around Matera,” Morrison shared. “I’ve been spraying Coca-Cola on slippery surfaces for a very long time.”
And before you say they just wasted 32,000 liters of Coke, the liquid served a dual purpose as another kind of [cleaning] agent — one that “makes things look very clean after it washes off,” according to Morrison.
We’re not sure if the stunt they’re referring to is the one at the 2:05 mark of the latest trailer, but it sure looks sweet:
No Time To Die hits theaters April next year.
