What's the best gadget (in your opinion) that Bond had used in the series?

The suitcase full of suprises. Although the Astin Martin is awfully nice. :)

And just when I was begining to like you.
Nah it's okay if that's your thing.
I quite liked the brief case in FRWL, or the acrostar jet in OP, but as far as vehicles go the DB5 from GF, the Lotus in TSWLM and the Aston Martin in TLD are all top notch.
Even the BMW in TND is worth a mention. Love Brosnans little chuckle when he reinflates the tires.

I was just winding you up. Really, it's hard to pick one, but for some reason, I'm a sucker for gadgets disguised as everyday objects - the buzzsaw watch in LALD, the ski-pole gun in TSWLM and so on.

There have been so many gadgets it is hard to choose one. Most of them have been innovative and have saved Bonds life at some stage.

That car chase is the best sequence in the entire Brosnan era I think, really fun and exciting and incredibly well done :D

The BMW is one of the best gadgets also, clever and amusing without being too unrealistic!

I must say I have to agree with you there Count. :shock:
I love the car chase in TND, it's pure Bondian nonsense, and all jolly good fun.

hahah! :lol:

Probably the obvious one, the ejector seat - although I did like the front wing machine guns, and the back shield in TB.

I had the Corgi toy too. Hands up those who lost the blue man that flies out of the seat.....

I had a Thunderbird 2 corgi toy once: I preferred the yellow plastic submarine that was in the removable cargo hold.

The greatest gadjet would be Connery's toupees. They really did a good job on those brushes :lol: They should've received a special lifetime Oscar. I'm sure Connery would be happy to accept it in good fun.

DB5 of course .... the Acrojet because it looks so cool ... the 'glasses "I have ... hidden assets' because that's actually believable, and is being manufactured as we speak :wink: (smoke bombs for safer mode) .... the whistling key chain.

I didn't like the BMW simply because I see BMWs every day. I don't want to see Bond drive a Bimmer, either for the same reason. If they need a four seater put him in a Maserati GranTurisimo -- a muscular, elegant car. Oops :oops: we'll have to wait for a suave gentleman Bond for this one 8) .

The fixed tarot deck :wink: Actually, a true Bond moment for Cmdr 0077: A Bond girl had one of the trophy decks from LALD, and she shuffled, and then picked one. It was the Lovers :o (She didn't fix the deck as far as I could see, anyway I wasn't complaining)

YOLT's rocket cigarettes.

And the 'original Felix Lighter.' :wink:
