HEARSE

Contributed by: The Complete James Bond Movie Encyclopedia by Steven Jay Rubin

Black Cadillac getaway vehicle for the three Jamaican murderers—the “three blind mice“—who assassinate John Strangways (TIM MOXON) in Dr. No. If you look closely at the side of the hearse when it’s driven away from the murder site in the Queen’s Club parking lot, you’ll see the reflection of one of the film crew’s arc lights.

The same hearse tries to run James Bond (SEAN CONNERY) off the road when he’s on his way to Miss Taro‘s (ZENA MARSHALL) cottage in the Blue Mountains. Bond manages to stay on the highway, maneuvers his way under a construction vehicle, and watches as the hearse skids off the mountainside, goes over the cliff, and explodes.
