James Bond Gadgets DVD

 

NOW PAY ATTENTION 007 FANS! If you like gadgets then you'll love the James Bond Gadgets DVD produced by Silva Screen Home Entertainment.

LOOK UP:

 See the  science behind the Bell Textron Jet Pack used by 007 in 'Thunderball'. Find out how Little Nellie, the Autogyro used in 'You Only Live Twice' can be compared to the seed of a Sycamore tree! And see the Freedom jet from the pre-titles sequence of 'Octopussy' do some amazing aerial acrobatics!

LOOK DOWN:

 See one of the Q Boats from 'The World Is Not Enough' take to the water for the first time since filming completed.  See Oscar winning underwater cinematographer Jordan Klein go underwater with one  of the original Aqua Tow Sled's that he created for SPECTRE Henchmen in 'Thunderball'.

LOOK OUT:

See the meticulous planning that went into the planning of the 360 degree barrel roll in 'The Man With The Golden Gun' and the space age technology that goes into the production of the Aston Martin Vanquish that featured in 'Die Another Day'.

You are also shown around the James Bond Boats and 007 Cars exhibitions that were held in the UK, a look at the collection of the Ian Fleming Foundation , a look at the real life world of counter espionage and their gadgets, and a tour round the International Spy Museum.

 

BUT THAT'S NOT ALL: As well as some behind the scenes footage from the Bond films the highlight of this DVD is candid interviews with Albert R 'Cubby' Broccoli and his wife Dana on 'The Paul Ryan Show' from 1977 and 1979. It is great to see two iconic figures from the production of the Bond films talking about their lives and the James Bond films. Amongst other things you get to hear Cubby talking about how he tried to get the rights to 'Casino Royale', and  getting to know Ian Fleming better during the filming of 'From Russia With Love'. Dana talks about how she would like Cubby to write a book about his life, (which was later published as 'When The Snow Melts'), and how Jaw's Teeth were created as a result of a Beverley Hills Dentist!


So mix yourself a Martini and watch 'James Bond Gadgets' because it really is good. I never joke about DVD's!
