After decades of rescuing Bond girls, 007 has finally met his match in feisty Camille in the upcoming movie Quantum Of Solace.

While Bond girls before her were happy to be rescued by the dashing secret agent, Ukrainian actress Olga Kurylenko has been in months of training so she can match Daniel Craig's Bond moves.

Bond fans who can't wait till the movie hits cinemas screens on October 31st can get their 007 fix with our exclusive behind-the-scenes video.

In the clip, former model Olga, 28, described the months of rigorous training she had to go through before filming even began and how she overcame her fears to perform death-defying stunts.

Fans can even catch a glimpse of a Camille and Bond's dramatic boat chase in Bolivia.

In the film, Olga plays Camille, a beautiful Russian-Bolivian agent who has her own vendetta against Bond baddie Dominic Greene (Mathieu Amalric).

Producers described her character as 'someone who challenges Bond and helps him come to terms with the emotional consequences of Vesper Lynd's betrayal'.

Director Marc Foster said: 'The role of the Bond girl has changed over the years. This particular movie, the Bond girls are almost a counterpart to Bond himself.'

Olga explained: "I'm the feisty girl. She has to get the revenge. I do have a few action scenes. I’ve done a lot of training."

In the action-packed film, Olga participates in a dramatic boat chase, a parachute jump, driving a speeding car and becomes embroiled in fight scenes.

Olga admitted she was overwhelmed when director Marc Foster would first describe an action scene, but managed to overcome her fears to participate in the stuns.

She said: 'It always started with me saying, "No way, I can’t do it," and I end up doing it.

'Daniel helped me overcome my fear. After each take he would ask me, "Are you OK, are you OK?"

'In my life I would never have to do something like that (boat chase) and I’m very proud of myself.'
