Watch: Sam Mendes prefers 'real' action in exclusive 'Spectre' clip

Getting James Bond (Daniel Craig) in real action was a no-brainer for "Spectre" director Sam Mendes.

James Bond films have a knack for the nuts when it comes to action sequences, and the latest movie Spectre (out today on Blu-ray and DVD) doesn't shy away from any of the crazy, from high speed chases through Rome to a breathtaking opening number in Mexico. Still, as seen in this exclusive behind-the-scenes clip, even the crew guys were more than a little impressed about one sequence where director Sam Mendes has Daniel Craig's 007 in a plane and fighting SPECTRE henchman Mr. Hinx (Dave Bautista) and his crew speeding along in three cars along snowy Austrian mountains.

Like we said... NUTS.

Says Mendes about crafting such epic set pieces:

"The philosophy of the Bond franchise and mine particularly as a filmmaker is to do things for real. So you have to roll up your sleeves and work it out."
