James Bond: 10 Best Weapons In The 007 Movies
4. Rosa's Shoe - From Russia With Love
Even back in the early years, Major Boothroyd wasn't the only one hiding weapons in unusual places, SPECTRE's scientists have their own special weapons team.
A defect from Russia's SMERSH agency, Rosa Klebb was a special agent for Blofeld hired to acquire a decoding device called the Lektor. When the big Red heavy Red Grant fails, Rosa goes into the fray disguised as a maid and attacks 007 with her shoe.
This isn't your stereotypical "woman beats a man with shoe" that you may have seen elsewhere, or Random Task throwing a shoe at Austin Powers. Rosa's shoe has become a cultural mainstay as much as Jaws' famous teeth. Her weapon of choice is a small knife hidden in the tip of her shoe, which she wields with deadly skill. The smallest scratch could be lethal as the blade has been dipped in poison.
The shoe a became a popular weapon for assassins and villains in the world of film, including appearances in Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, and The Dark Knight, also making a brief appearance in Bond number 20, Die Another Day, so as you can tell, they can't all be classics.
