JAMES BOND FILM GADGETS

MULTIPURPOSE MOBILE PHONE

In Tomorrow Never Dies James Bond used an Ericsson mobile phone

that served numerous purposes. It had a fingerprint scanner, a key

replicator as well as controls for the defence system of his car.

It is believed that the original phone used in the movie was the

design from which the Ericsson R380 was based.

CIGARETTE DARTS

The cigarette darts that James Bond used in You Only Live Twice were able

to accurately shoot a target from as far as 30 yards away.

And we though cigarettes only cause lung cancer.

GARROTE WATCH

Before 007$B!l(Bs watches all became multipurpose killing machines,

Red Grant, an early Bond villain, tried to kill bond with a specially

equipped watch that allowed you to whip out a retractable wire.

Unfortunately for Red, Bond was better at using his watch than he was.

BOWLER HAT

The bowler hat that James Bond used in Goldfinger had a razor-sharp

steel rim. It was intended to serve as a throwing weapon for Bond

whenever opponents were in sight. In fact, in the movie the hat was so

strong that it was capable of slicing stone and metal when thrown.

SLEEPING MAN

James Bond used an experimental weapon which he called

$B!H(Bthe sleeping man$B!I(B in the movie Moonraker. This weapon was

developed by the Q branch and was basically a machine gun turret

that was disguised as a sleeping man. Once the device is activated,

the sleeping man is cut into halves, the body is torn apart and

a turret is revealed from the inside.

ROLEX WATCH

Although Bond$B!G(Bs watch in Never Say Never Again featured a laser cutter,

it wasn$B!G(Bt until Live and Let Die that it got a serious upgrade.

Able to deflect bullets thanks to a powerful electromagnet, it came

with a powerful saw that once helped Bond escape from a shark tank.

SKI POLE GUN

Bond used a 30-calibre ski pole rifle to shoot people in 

The Spy Who Loved Me. It had a four shot clip in its handle and had

a twistable top which when rotated, would reveal the trigger.

ROCKET PACK

Used by 007 in Thunder Ball this jet pack was a low-power propulsion

device that allowed him to leap or travel small distances safely.

In the movie, the rocket pack had its major exposure when James Bond

made a hasty escape after an assassination.
