Bond (Daniel Craig) makes his way through Mexico City’s Day of the Dead celebrations in the opening scene from SPECTRE (2015). Director Sam Mendes said: “One of the things that’s said about the Day of the Dead celebrations is that ‘los muertos vivos están’ – ’The dead are alive.’ That has a direct bearing on our story.” | James Bond 007

On this day in 2015, the SPECTRE crew were shooting part of the high-speed car chase through the streets of Rome between Bond’s Aston Martin DB10 and Hinx’s Jaguar C-X75. Stunt coordinator Gary Powell said: “For the drive down the steps we put a layer of concrete wedges over the original steps to protect them, and the walls were clad in steel and painted to look like concrete. We respect the places we work in and make sure they aren’t damaged.” | James Bond 007
