There are some things in life you can't say and expect to walk away unscathed.

1) Mr. Reeves. I accidentally hit your dog with my car...

2) Greedo shot first.

3) Come on, WWE legend Dave Bautista, don't go easy on me!

Unfortunately, Daniel Craig learned that last one the hard way when he challenged none other than professional wrestler Dave Bautista to put a bit more effort into their fight scene in the 24th Bond film - Spectre.

Although the film couldn't live up to the heights of 2012's Skyfall, it certainly left a lasting impression thanks to the action-packed fight scenes between Bond and Blofeld's hitman, Mr. Hinx.

In the film's most iconic scene, Bond is enjoying a well earned break from car chasing and gun-slinging on board a midnight train until Mr. Hinx bursts into the carriage like the Kool-Aid Guy on steroids.

During this hard-hitting fight scene Craig tore his ACL after foolishly encouraging Bautista to put a bit of that signature WWE spice on it when throwing him around the train.

As a result, Craig had to wear a leg brace for the remainder of the shoot and left the rest of the stunts to the professionals.

I see my role at WhatCulture the same way my wife sees my role as a lover: I contribute in a very small way, my presence is barely noticeable and I’m not entirely sure if the laughter is at me or with me.
