Bits of Bond we'd love to see again
 |
This year marks 50 years of James Bond -- from Dr No to this year's Skyfall.
As a lifelong 007-worshipper, here's my list of 10 things I'd love to see displayed in a James Bond exhibition:
Sean Connery's suits from Dr No

Rosa Klebb's shoes from From Russia With Love
|

Played by Lotte Lenya in arguably the best Bond film of them all, Rosa Klebb was a SPECTRE double agent with the most lethal pair of shoes.
A poison tipped knife flipped out of Klebb's shoe nearly got the better of Bond before his girl Tatiana shot Klebb.

The Aston Martin from Goldfinger

Perhaps the most iconic of all Bond vehicles was the Aston Martin DB5 driven by Sean Connery in Goldfinger.
A fantastically styled automobile fitted with many a gadget -- smoke-screen, revolving license plates, oil-slick-dispenser, ejector seat, bulletproof shield -- this is every 007 fan's dream vehicle.
And one can never forget the Ben-Hur style wheel spikes it showed off in the film.

The Q-Branch Keyring in The Living Daylights

A seemingly innocuous key ring, Q packed this little thing with many a lifesaving feature. By whistling the first few bars of Rule Britannia, it would emit a cloud of stun gas, disorienting people for 30 seconds. Plus, there's a lock pick which can open 90 percent of the world's locks.
And finally, when Bond whistles his own tune, the keyring explodes.
