To provide an example, Brosnan recalled the “pretty impressive” bullet boat chase in the opening moments of The World Is Not Enough.
He remembered saying goodbye to his wife and children, being provided with two oxygen tanks and “strapped in double, double”.
“They said, ‘If you flip, you’re going to go to the hospital to have your stomach pumped.’ That was memorable,” the actor added grimly.
Even with the precautions, Borson revealed he was still seriously injured during the stunt.

“(The boat) goes off the river into a restaurant, drives into a restaurant, wood sliced my face open. So, went off to the hospital, stitched up,” he detailed.
Even still, the Irishman did not rule out a potential return to the franchise as an older Bond figure.
“No-one’s spoken to me about it. I’ve heard all of the rumours. Listen, they know where to find me. Let’s see where the wind takes us,” he teased.
However, regarding who will replace Daniel Craig as the iconic spy – Brosnan conceded that would be “another man’s job”.
“I’m not looking to go there. I’m quite happy with my career. I’ve done it, it was wonderful. Delightful kind of notion to contemplate,” he glowed.
Even still, the former Bond could not resist opining on Aaron Taylor-Johnson’s suitability for the role, who remains among the bookies favourites to swoop the role.
“I think he would make a very fine Bond,” he revealed
Remembering working alongside a young Taylor-Johnson, Brosnan reflected: “He was so impressive then. He just had this charisma, he had this presence… so he would be good. But there’s many men on the list I’m sure.”
Brosnan has previously called for the next Bond actor to be British in a plea with Amazon after they took creative control over the franchise.
