In this season's first two episodes, Savage and Hyneman delve into James Bond and the authenticity of 007's film gadgetry. They'll try to replicate some of the stunts that thrilled Ian Fleming fans, such as the flying speedboat stunt from 1973's Live and Let Die. The stunt required hasty construction of a ramp in the middle of a California lake, a powerboat and precision planning. "While the results are often spectacular, the big thing for us is the process," Hyneman says.
