Part-filmed by Bickers Action – one of the most highly acclaimed stunt film-specialists in the world – cinema-goers the globe over will have been wowed by probably the most hard-hitting Bond film to date. And some of that action was powered by Honda’s EX5500 generators which Bickers regularly use as an integral part of the filming process. Enabling film crews to make use of portable power, the generators are vital for scenes such as Bond’s mission at Miami Airport which combines fast-paced stunts and special effects.

Essential for the camera tracking crew, Honda’s generators powered the truck’s massive boom arm, camera crane and all lighting necessary to capture the tricky night scene - and as movie-goers now know, the results are spectacular.

As well as Honda generators Bickers also make regular use of Honda ATVs with a small fleet of Honda Foremans. Supplied by their local Honda dealer, Fieldens, this veritable workhorse of a machine has contributed to a number of high-profile films including Enduring Love, Harry Potter and Alexander, as well as numerous television programmes and ad campaigns. Used in camera tracking, Honda’s ATVs are safe, solid, and highly manoeuvrable – perfect for capturing low and high speed stunt footage and similar action work.

Paul Bickers, Managing Director of Bickers Action, comments, “We’ve been using Honda for years. In fact, we bought our first Honda ATV in 1985 and still use it on-set now. When it comes to filming stunt scenes, you don’t have the luxury of take after take so it’s vital you can rely on your equipment. Not only is Honda reliable, it’s also extremely durable – a must when filming fast and furious action”.

Time and time again Honda power products are the number one choice for professionals and public alike. With a long history of helping people around the world carry out a vast assortment of tasks, now the name of Britain’s number one secret agent can be added to the list too: Bond, James Bond – with a little help from Honda behind the scenes.
