One of the obits said one reason he got out of Bond films was because they were getting him to do more dangerous stunts, such as swimming with sharks. Apparently in 1 scene where he was strapped to a table with a laser beam slowly cutting through the table as it headed towards his family jewels, they didn’t have any suitable special effects. Instead, they had a guy with an acetylene torch under the table cutting through it, only stopping a few centimetres away from his most cherished possessions! I’d imagine no acting was required in that scene.
