JAMES BOND GADGETS

GEIGER COUNTER

In Thunderball James Bond’s famous wristwatch allows him to

determine the radiation levels of his surroundings by checking one of the

hands. The Breitling watch was picked up for £25 but was sold by

Christie’s in London for more than $160,000

VOICE CHANGER

In Diamonds are Forever, James Bond used his voice changer not just

as a spy but to avoid having to take calls from people he didn’t want

to talk to.

X-RAY GLASSES

Although every kid who ever watched Superman wished they had x-ray

vision it wasn’t until 1999 in the movie The World Is Not Enough that

James Bond finally came out with his super fly x-ray shades.

TAPE RECORDER CAMERA

Although these days having a multi-purpose gadget isn’t really that

cool anymore what with everyone having an I phone in their pocket,

in From Russia With Love (1963) it was one of the coolest things ever.

X-RAY POLAROID

Before the x-ray wristwatch their was the x-ray polaroid camera in 

License to Kill (1989). It seems that seeing through matter is a critical

ability for distinguished British spies.

CLOTHING BRUSH COMMUNICATOR

Appropriately concealed as a lint brush, no one would suspect the fact

that it basically functioned as Bond’s telephone.

YO-YO SAW

Basically a circular blade attached to a string, James Bond used a

yo-yo saw in Octopussy to kill the MI6 agent named Vijay.

RADIOACTIVE LINT

Although never actually used by Bond (in fact it was actually 007 who was

tracked with the device), the lint tracker is an ingenious idea. It only

activates when placed somewhere on a person’s body, like in their pocket

and even if they find it they’ll just throw it away thinking it’s nothing

more than a piece of lint.

DENTONITE TOOTHPASTE

If you see James Bond rolling around with something as unassuming as

a toothpaste bottle you can bet your money it will do something

crazy…like explode.
