Oh, and 'Little Nellie' in YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE. Bond's whistle-to-explode-me key chain in THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS was pretty cool, too.<br /><br />There's one gadget that I guess most people assume comes from Q Branch, but doesn't... but I'll wait and point it out when the film in question gets its ranking.Backthrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02289433396695381105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7059293386881623259.post-5423479047625073822013-10-03T22:47:28.413-04:002013-10-03T22:47:28.413-04:00That was pretty cool -- Goldeneye.That was pretty cool -- <i>Goldeneye</i>.AndrewPricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11312364467936820986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7059293386881623259.post-79022864829644613592013-10-03T21:43:03.984-04:002013-10-03T21:43:03.984-04:00The explosive pen one triggered (and turned off) b...The explosive pen one triggered (and turned off) by clicking twice was kind of cool.
