Double OW seven: Daniel Craig suffers another injury on set of Bond movie Spectre while filming high-speed car chase in Rome
James Bond has encountered a villainous new adversary during filming of the next episode of the franchise in Rome – the city’s famous cobblestones and potholes.
Daniel Craig, who plays Bond in the forthcoming Spectre, was injured behind the wheel during a high-speed car chase through the streets of Rome - his second injury while filming the movie.
The secret agent’s state of the art silver Aston Martin DB10 hit a bump in the road on Monday, as it raced through the central streets, which had been closed off for filming.

For the high-octane scene the car used was a vehicle-steering dual being driven in reality by a stuntman.
Doctors were called after Craig hit his head on the car’s interior, La Repubblica reported, but the injury was not serious.
However Craig flew out of Rome the next day, leaving the stuntman to take care of the rest of the shoot.

Italian newspaper La Repubblica commented: ‘The streets of Rome have managed to accomplish what the secret agents on Her Majesty’s secret service never could - a knockout blow to 007.’
The 46-year-old wore a flat cap and shades but had no visible facial injuries. Craig reportedly suffered a knee injury just a week before while filming in Austria.
Producers of the film have run into numerous obstacles as they attempted to finalise plans for the five-week shoot in Italy.
Earlier this week the cobblestones were reported to have interfered with sound quality as crew filmed another car scene.
MailOnline has contacted a spokesperson for Daniel Craig for comment.
