Worst Case ScenarioThe opening scenes of a James Bond movie are often so spectacular that your only thought is, “wow.” This is certainly the case in the latest 007 flick, Casino Royale, which opened this weekend.

Our fearless hero Bond engages in a cat-and-mouse chase to catch a bomber, whose gymnastic feats of strength leave you breathless.

But don’t let the Bond adventure end with the closing credits.

worst caseRaincoast Books is running a video contest, “What’s Your Worst-Case Scenario?"

Grab a copy of The Worst-Case Scenario Survival Handbook: Extreme Edition and create your own adventure, then capture it on film for a chance to win a $500 shopping spree in a participating bookstore.

Embracing your inner-Bond doesn’t have to mean surviving a fall down a stairwell or dodging bullets. It can also be about escaping a bad date, determining if your date is married (a Bond preference), surviving a fashion emergency and sobering up fast.

Show us your feats of strength.
