One of the best parts about BBC’s show Top Gear is trying to figure out Who is “The Stig?” Well, It turns out it’s Ben Collins! But who is Ben Collins you ask? And, how was he outed at an art gallery?

For starters, Ben Collins is one of those guys who’s work you’ve seen, but face you haven’t. (ahem, like the stig.) For one, he was Daniel Craig’s stunt double from the recent 007 movie, Quantum of Solace. But are we sure Ben Collins is really the stig? Well, it seems Collins revealed his secret identity to a Bristol art gallery owner in order to commission an artwork commemorating his exploits on Top Gear. In 2002, Perry McCarthy revealed he was the black Stig, prompting his firing from the series. It’s believed that Collins could now suffer a similar fate. Read the rest of this entry »

Second Bond crash leaves stunt driver in critical condition

Posted by Admin on April 27, 2008

In case wrecking one car accidently for the new James Bond Movie “Quantum of Solace,” there has been a second accident, unfortunately, this second crash has left another stuntman seriously injured.

Since there were no other Astom Martin DBS’s left, this time it was an Alfa Romeo. The stunt driver crashed into a wall during a car chase involving a truck and supposedly James Bond’s Aston Martin DBS. The Stunt driver is currently hospitalized in critical condition. A 2nd stunt driver in the same car also suffered minor injuries.

“Filming for the second unit on ‘Quantum of Solace’ will be suspended while the accident is investigated,” a statement said. The movie has been filming in the location for the past two weeks.

Neither director Marc Forster or Daniel Craig were at that particular scene when the accidents occurred.

Guess that Northern Italy Lake Garda location isn’t much luck to Bond. Quantum of Solace is expected to be released in theaters in November of 2008.
