10 Movies That Wasted Their Best Weapon

10. The BMW Z3 - GoldenEye

One of the most exciting things about any James Bond movie is seeing the new car 007 is kitted out with, and in the Pierce Brosnan era of Bond films, they tended to have a taste for the, well, ridiculous.

Hugely disappointing it was, then, that in Brosnan's debut film GoldenEye, the BMW Z3 appears for all of a glorified cameo.

When Bond is first given possession of the car by Q (Desmond Llewelyn), Q mentions numerous thoroughly badass features - stinger missiles behind the headlights, an emergency parachute braking system, a radar scanner, a passenger ejector seat, and even a self-destruct system.

Despite this very obvious tee-up, not a single one of these features is seen in the movie, and what is clearly the most potent weapon in 007's arsenal ends up sitting on the sidelines.

One can only imagine BMW's disappointment that the car didn't get a more adventurous and memorable innings, especially as GoldenEye marked the start of a three-picture partnership between BMW and the Bond franchise.
