The movie had no shortage of edge-of-your-seat action, so both the stunt and the special effects team were kept busy on-set. Award winning Stunt Coordinator Mark Mottram, who had previously worked with Pierce Brosnan on three of his Bond films, also served as his stunt double. Mottram had a core team of four, which included two additional stunt doubles, a stunt rigger, and a stunt utility bike, and car specialist. Some scenes were so elaborate, that thirty Serbian and Russian stuntmen joined the British team, particularly for car chases which required real precision driving through the often narrow streets of Belgrade, Serbia. The stunt team also worked with the cast members to rehearse and perfect fight scenes, as well as dropping off high balconies and simulating the impact of explosions and gunshots.
