JET BOAT

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

Tiny rocket-powered craft commandeered by Bond (Pierce Brosnan) in the pre-credits teaser for The World Is Not Enough, to track down and destroy the Cigar Girl (Maria Grazia Cucinotta) after she blows a huge hole in MI6 headquarters on the Thames. Q (Desmond Llewelyn) later claims that it was his own private fishing boat, but we know better. After all, it has the usual Q Branch gizmos beyond the rocket-powered engine: heat-seeking torpedoes, submersible capabilities, and the ability to drive down a city street. The only problem is that it’s so tiny that it’s hard to maneuver in a high-speed chase with a larger boat, as Bond eventually finds out.
