Gadgets in The Man With The Golden Gun and The Spy Who Loved Me

Join Dan and Tom as they take a look at the gadgets in THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN GUN (TMWTGG) and THE SPY WHO LOVED ME (TSWLM).

Join us as we take a look at the gadgets in The Man With The Golden Gun (TMWTGG) and The Spy Who Loved Me (TSWLM). We know that James Bond movies use a lot of gadgets. So lets look at the gadgets from these two Roger Moore James Bond movies. We’ll talk about the gadgets we think work well ( like the golden gun) and the gadgets that don’t (like Bond’s watch at the beginning of The Spy Who Loved Me). And we discuss the viability or believability of each of the gadgets.

Some of the gadgets we’ll discuss are:

  • The golden gun (TMWTGG)
  • The Solex agitator (TMWTGG)
  • The flying car (TMWTGG)
  • Bond’s printing watch (TSWLM)
  • The ski pole gun (TSWLM)
  • Jaw’s teeth (TSWLM)
  • The Lotus Espirit (TSWLM)
  • and more …

So take a listen and let us know what you think of these gadgets in TMWTGG and TSWLM. Did we miss any? Did you have the same impression about these? Leave us a comment at info@spymovienavigator.com.

The Man With The Golden Gun

The Man With The Golden Gun – This 1974 movie pits James Bond (Roger Moore) against Francisco Scaramanga (Christopher Lee) and his golden gun. Scaramanga is the world’s most expensive hit man and James Bond is on his list.

As part of the plot, James Bond must find a solar energy device that is planned to be put to nefarious use.

Along the way, we get to see the beauty of Thailand and China. Bond meets Scaramanga’s henchman, Nick Nack (Hervé Villachaize), Andrea Anders (Maude Adams), Miss Goodnight (Britt Ekland), and is reunited with J.W. Pepper (Clifton James) who he met in Live and Let Die.

The Man With The Golden Gun has one of the best car jump stunts in any James Bond movie.
