Interview: Skyfall stunt guru Gary Powell talks Bond tech Technology is as much a part of any James Bond film as an Aston Martin, scantily clad women, and 007 himself -- shaken, not stirred, of course. But the newest Daniel Craig-powered title, Skyfall, takes technology to a new level, while still keeping things classy. Gadgets abound when Ben Whishaw's new, younger Q, sends Bond along his merry way with fresh field equipment, including a biometrically encoded Walther PPK, which is coded to Bond's palm prints and allows him, and only him, to fire the gun. There's also a radio transmitter to trace Bond's whereabouts. Indeed, Q boasts during his first meeting with Bond that he can "do more damage on my laptop in my pajamas" than the super secret agent can do in a year in the field. That same principle is demonstrated by the film-makers, who worked with top-level cameras, computers, and stunt equipment to produce Skyfall, which hit UK cinemas 26 October, 2012. The film's British stunt coordinator (and a stuntman himself), Gary Powell (see image, below), recently chatted with us about the technology used in front of and behind the cameras, how advancing technology has shaped the Bond universe, and what it's really like to work with classic icons of 007 history. Could you talk a little bit about the technology that was used in the cars, and how that plays a big role in the film? Gary Powell (GP): One of the biggest pieces of technology
