With numerous symbols and objects in each film, the history of Bond on screen is rich and complicated.
Catch up on all the James Bond gear you could possibly need!
Walther PPK
When you carry a 00 number, you have a license to kill, not get killed.
He quickly gets used to it though, because hes used the same make right up untilSkyfall.
Attache briefcase
An ordinary black case… with 20 rounds of ammunition, here and here.
As well see, the gadgets would get more outlandish from here on out.
Ejector seat
You must be joking.
Razor-rimmed hat
Manners, Oddjob.
I thought you always took your hat off to a lady.
The films hadnt skimped on gadgets and enhancements for the villains up to this point either.
The hat is just the cherry on top of the series best ever henchman.
Re-breather
I hope we didnt scare the fishes.
Little Nellie
A toy helicopter?
Tracys wedding ring
We have all the time in the world.
The film ends on Bond cradling his bride and holding her wedding band, heartbroken.
Until the current era, the series would seldom, if ever, be this emotional again.
La Bombe Surprise
Mmm!
Bizarrely, the next film is very much business as usual, with no reference to previous traumatic events.
They also serve up the films most ridiculous gadget/weapon- a dessert with a bomb in it.
Its a 180 degree turn from the poignant ending ofOHMSS.
Espresso machine
Coffee, sir?
Nos casino scene, but it does distinguish Moores portrayal of the character.
The Lovers tarot card
I had no choice.
We could go for another gadget here.
However, we have far more pressing questions about the pack of tarot cards.
For someone who never seems to use contraception, he seems absurdly well prepared for other sexual eventualities.
The late, great Christopher Lee is one of the greatest ever Bond villains.
Pepper (the series very own Jar Jar Binks) and a random martial arts movie pastiche.
But as the titular assassin Francisco Scaramanga, Lee is terrific.
This immediately tells you that hes got a little bit of an ego.
And what is Roger Moores Bond packing in this one?
A prosthetic nipple, because hes weirdly fixated on the fact that his adversary has a superfluous third papilla.
It doesnt matter who won the assassins duel after that- the real loser in this one was Q Branch.
Union Jack parachute
Oh God, James Bond is going to die!
Hes going to die!
Oops, weve got a bit ofIm Alan Partridgestuck in the quotes bit.
Laser rifle
I think hes attempting re-entry, sir.
ATAC
Thats detente, comrade.
You dont have it.
I dont have it.
As a MacGuffin, it fits its purpose nicely and recallsFrom Russia With Loves Lektor machine.
LikeDiamonds Are Forever, it brings the series into a new decade.
Unlike that film, it does it by being more topical than most Bond movies.
Fake Faberge egg
I heard the price of eggs was up, but isnt that a little high?
But lets get metaphorical.
Zorin microchips
For centuries, alchemists tried to make gold from base metals.
Today, we make microchips from silicon, which is common sand, but far better than gold.
I understand that quote about as much as this movie understands microchips.
The reason why microchips are needed to inject horse steroids remains a mystery.
Like Lee before him, Christopher Walken is squandered as Zorin.
The Lady Rose
Glad I insisted you brought that cello.
He insists theyre not returning to her flat to get it and she insists even harder that they are.
Felixs lighter
He disagreed with something that ate him.
In this altogether darker adaptation, the sadistic cartel members also rape and murder Felixs bride, Della.
Ballpoint pen grenade
The writing is on the wall.
Ericsson JB988 mobile phone
Talk here, listen here.So thats what Ive been doing wrong all these years?
This one doubles as a fingerprint scanner, a taser and a remote control for Bonds BMW.
Garotte chair
I could have given you the world.
Aston Martin Vanish
I wish I could make you vanish.
Ironically,Die Another Dayis the most like a computer game, but didnt warrant a spin-off.
Field medical kit (as optional extra)
That last hand nearly killed me.
As mentioned,Skyfallis a great movie, but its not where this particular Bond nails the role.
Over three distinct acts,Casino Royalereconstitutes Bond in a post-9/11 world.
Nevertheless, MI6 can spring for a few optional extras in Bonds new DBS.
Algerian love knot
This man and I have some unfinished business.
Porcelain bulldog
Sometimes the old ways are the best.
James Bond will return.
