VW Touareg: Driving tricks from the Bourne Ultimatum

Read this article and learn how they did the driving tricks in The Bourne Ultimatum. Interesting read!

The greatest challenge for the filmmakers was closing down busy city streets, and clearing away the public and their vehicles before filming a Touareg being driven around at colossal speeds while the actor behind the wheel pretends to dodge bullets and leans out of the window to fire a few himself - leaving him in no position to steer.

A stunt driver couldn't be hidden in the car because he would be picked up by the 360-degree camera, which was filming almost every inch of the interior. Remote control of the vehicle was also considered, but was deemed too dangerous.

So there was only one thing for it: place a stunt driver on the roof, give him control of the steering, acceleration and brakes, and leave the actor to play with his toy gun and toy steering wheel. Brilliant.
