003. Dagger Shoe (From Russia With Love) It’s a shoe with a dagger in it...job done. Seriously though, every time I watch that poor bloke Kronsteen get taken out by the shoe for messing up I shudder. I’ve seen a lot of bad guys die horribly but for some reason that kick just feels really painful. The actor and the sound effects do a great job of selling it. It’s another of a long line of death scene that leaves me wondering why anyone would work for SPECTRE? It must one hell of a benefits package that comes with the position.
004. Garrotte Watch (From Russia With Love) Simple and deadly. Never was tim ekeeping such a hazardous pastime for anyone in the vicinity of this nefarious timepiece. I think in the whole of the Bond films I never feared as much for 007 as when that watch is used on him.
005. The Aston Martin DB5 (Goldfinger) I can’t drive but if someone promised me a car with extras that included an ejector seat, spinning hubcap razors and headlights that double as missiles I reckon it would be worth giving it another go. Ah, there is nothing in the world that cannot be made better with an ejector seat.
006. Wrist dart gun (Moonraker) I know, I know. It’s a one trick gadget. I mean all it does is fire darts but load that bad boy up with sleeps darts and morning office meetings listening to your boss drone on will take on a whole new lease of life. “And today’s agenda is....” Three hours later he/she wakes up back in their office with no memory of what happened while you and a work mates toast your ingenuity with your beverage of choice. “Mine’s a double whiskey barkeep.”
