James Bond
Bond's classic gun, the German-made Walther PPK is introduced in Dr. No. It replaced the .25 calibre Beretta which was suseptable to not working in tight situations. The PPK is 7.65mm calibre with a 6 round magazine. It's most desirable feature is it's size, as it is perfect for concealment. This makes it one of the favourite pistols in secret services around the world.Playing a key part in Goldfinger the distinguishing characteristic of this tracer is it's magnetism. The transmitter can be detected by a receiver in 007's Aston Martin DB5. The homing device also comes in a smaller version which is attracted to the larger one. This smaller version is designed to be put in 007's shoe for concealment. After bungee-jumping off the Barylmore Dam in GoldenEye, Bond fires the grappling hook into the roof of the Russian Chemical Factory. A high-tensile wire connects the grappling hook to a motor on the gun which reels in the wire, effectively pulling 007 closer to the hook. He then cuts his way in with the small-but-powerful laser which also comes attatched. Another of the many gadgets seen in GoldenEye, the Omega's main feature is a laser which is emitted at the
top of the watch dial. It is a red, short range, highly-concentrated laser which can cut through steel around one inch thick with ease. It is also fitted with a detenator which sets off any remote mines Bond has activated. I believe that Alec Trevelyan, played by Sean Bean, is one of the best villains in a long time. What makes him such a formidable and dangerous opponent for 007 is that he is Bond's equal in every aspect. He too was a double-0 agent, and can match Bond's every thought and move. There's a child-like competition between them, a rivalry that spurs Trevelyan on. When combined with the pure revenge he has against the British goverment, who betrayed his family, and Bond, who caused permenant scarring on his face, you can see why Trevelyan is such a threat. A brilliant background, superb scripting and a truly masterful plot help in bringing through the genius and motivation that resides in him. The fantastic Goldfinger was released on September 17th, 1964 in the UK and on December 22nd, 1964 in the US. It grossed $125 million worldwide (over $650 million in 1999 dollars), reflecting the phenomenal public reaction to the film. Goldfinger is probally the most famous and definative of all Bond films, packing in everything you could want, from the superbly intimidating Oddjob to the Bond car, the Aston Martin DB7. Review of GoldenEye by Scott Goodfellow GoldenEye is built on a solid plot, a solid script and some very solid characters. It has all the electrifying action, all the lavish locations and all the seductive romance. It has the heart-stopping chases, the wondrous gadgets and the riveting theme song. Put simply, it has everything, and is virtually faultless.
