Does anybody know who's doubling Craig here? Whoever he is it's a very
good match IMHO.

Good clip.
I notice that Craig's Bond uses a block-and-strike technique found in
martial arts such as wing chun, jun fan, and kali in the bit of a
fight scene shown. Mmmm... it is said CR is going to be more
"Bourne-like," and Jason Bourne used kali. Coincidence?
Though the purist Flemingphile that I am tends to not really see 007 as
a kali practitioner, I'm such a fan of the art (and the Bourne fight
scenes) that I must admit I'd love to see Bond kick butt Filipino
style.

I can't claim your expertise at all, but thanks for the info - will do
some more reading on this.
I am, however, in awe of the fact that any human being could practice
or remember such techniques - or do anything other than hang on and
whimper - while balanced on a crane several hundred feet above the
ground. It seems to me that at least one of the claims for CR - that
the important parts of the action sequences will be 'real' rather than
CGI - may well turn out to be accurate.

Ah, and there we have one of the classic stunt shots we've been needing to
see. He isn't wearing a tux or anything, but still, there he is. Looks
good.
Lee Edward McIlmoyle,
glad they're going back to basics for the stunts
