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 scene was filmed where Bond (Daniel Craig) chases Hinx (Dave Bautista) in the Austrian mountains in SPECTRE. Stunt coordinator Gary Powell said: “In the morning the roads would be ice, it’d warm up to -6 degrees and in the afternoon it’d go cold again. We could do a run down, drive back up again, and by then the road would have turned back to ice.” | James Bond 007

Daniel Craig (James Bond) and Léa Seydoux (Madeleine Swann) escape from Blofeld’s (Christoph Waltz) facility in the Moroccan desert in SPECTRE. The stunt used 2223 gallons of fuel, 72lbs of explosives and was all captured in one take – it became the biggest explosion in film history and a Guinness World Record holder. | James Bond 007

The man who made Blofeld as chilling as he was charming. Happy Birthday to Christoph Waltz! | James Bond 007
