10 Movie Plots Made Possible By Ridiculous Convenience
9. Most Bond Films: Q's Car Gadgets
There a few examples of just how annoyingly convenient the gadgets on James Bond's cars have been down the years and one thing has become very clear: the script is written, stunts and all, before the car's capabilities are decided.
Casino Royale sees Bond's Aston Martin fitted with a portable defibrillator and all-purpose poison antidotes, just in case he is dying slowly of poison as he does halfway through. Die Another Day's Vanquish could 'vanish', which proved very useful for specific set pieces.
Of course, let's not forget Tomorrow Never Dies' BMW 750i that could be remotely controlled by the obviously product placed Sony Ericsson mobile phone and had a very handy cable cutting gadget stashed under the BMW badge. Don't forget The Spy Who Loved Me's submersible Lotus Esprit that was very useful when being pursued by a helicopter.
The list goes on and on, quite frankly, and it suggests that your only way of guaranteeing a job with Q Branch is to ensure the ability to see the future is listed on your CV...
