20 Things You Didn't Know About The World Is Not Enough (1999)
10. Bond’s Line Of Credit
James Bond carries a very inventive and useful device in The World Is Not Enough: a lock pick concealed inside a Visa Platinum credit card, which he uses to gain access to the office of Elektra King’s suspicious head of security, Sasha Davidov (Ulrich Thomsen).
However, whilst being one of Bond’s most novel, practical, and unsung gadgets, it was a repurposed one; 14 years earlier, Double-0 Seven (Roger Moore) had used a Sharper Image credit card to unlock one of the windows of Stacey Sutton’s (Tanya Roberts’s) mansion in A View to a Kill (1985).
In modern times, when even doors are becoming increasingly reliant on digital technology, both of these gadgets may be fondly-remembered tools of a bygone era.
