Talking Point: Bond Gadgets
Created | Updated Dec 3, 2002
James Bond's supply of useful gadgets seems unending. He's managed to shoot at villains with a skipole, stun them with his phone1, and gas them by wolf-whistling at his keyring. Q seems to have managed to fit everything except the kitchen sink into a watch, and even the villains get gadgets; Jaws uses big teeth, Oddjob had his hat and Blofeld had pirahnas. If the bad guys get gadgets, we want them too!
