8. Thunderball (1965) - The Jet Pack Escape
Coming from a film that's considered a classic,
Thunderball's opening has Bond evading another attack from an assassin before escaping in a soaring triumph that yes, has Bond flying in a jetpack. That's right, reader. Jet. Pack. An early indicator of the kind of occasional sci-fi that Bond would dip into from time to time, it's easily one of the most iconic and beloved gadgets in Bond's sparkling history and one rooted in enough real-world science (though Apple won't be bringing one out next year, let's put it that way) that it seems both plausible and a great hero moment as Bond rises into the skies and into our collective conscious.
