Running Battle

Stunning Running

Free running was created by a Frenchman Sebastien Foucan. It can be extremely dangerouse as free runners scale tall buildings without safety ropes and make huge leaps between rooftops. Real experts have to practice for hours every day. To perform the eye-popping stunts seen in Casino Royale, there could be only one choice to play Mollaka - Sebastien Foucan himself!

Five Facts

1 - Many of the moves that free runners use have been given strange names, like the wall spin, superman and monkey vault.

2 - Free running came to the attention of the writers of Casino Royale when they saw it on a TV documentary.

3 - Some of Casino Royale stunts were so dangerouse that even an expert Sebastian needed a stunt double!

4 - The scene where Bond and Mollaka run along a crane was filmed 60 meters up in the air - higher than Nelson's Colume.

5 - Daniel Graig's first day of filming as the new 007 saw him chasing Mollaka - a though start to life as James Bond.
