James Bond is known for his gadgets, and a new video lets you see all of them at once.
The YouTube channel Burger Fiction has
made a supercut of every awesome gadget built for Bond by Q Branch in 16
minutes and 39 seconds. Totaling 193 gadgets in
all, this montage of the 007 technology includes a lot of standard
grappling hooks, lasers, rockets and so forth, but there are some true
gems like the spike umbrella, the classic car ejection seat and the
Aston Martin car fire hose.
A few are also deliciously mystifying,
like the land boat and the pocket finger trap (because you never know
when a bad guy is going to stick his hand down your coat pocket?). And
there are some charming anachronisms, like the car landline, the ticker
tape printing watch, the underwater camera (!), and underwear vision,
which is basically TSA body scanner glasses.
What’s eminently clear is that
technological advances have not been kind to Bond technology, which was
clearly better in the old days. Bring back the crocodile submarine!
Bring back the inflating pill!
