What is a James Bond movie without futuristic—and often unrealistic—gadgets and gizmos? Fortunately, No Time To Die delivers on this franchise trope with some classic technology to help James Bond complete his mission.
Daniel Craig’s final movie playing the famous British spy is due out in theaters on Friday October 8 in the U.S. Directed by Cary Joji Fukunaga (Beasts of No Nation) and co-starring Rami Malek (Bohemian Rhapsody), Léa Seydoux (Blue is the Warmest Color) and Lashana Lynch (Captain Marvel), the film has already received positive reviews from critics.
Ben Whishaw (Paddington) returns as Quartermaster, Q, and once again provides Bond with handy tech to get him out of a pinch. However, the villains also arrive with their own menacing electronics to thwart our hero.
Here’s a list of the best gadgets and technology seen in No Time To Die. Plot spoilers ahead.
Aston Martin weapons
Making its grand return to the franchise, Bond uses his classic Aston Martin DB5’s box of tricks to get out of a sticky situation in Italy.
Speeding through the narrow streets, he presses a button to unload some explosive jacks that demolish another car.
When cornered and facing certain death, the bulletproof windows look like they’re going to give way, until Bond chooses the perfect time to reveal the car is packing a mini-gun in its headlights. He does a donut while opening fire on the enemies surrounding him in a circle, then using the smokescreen function to make his escape away from Blofeld’s Spectre agents.
Three more Aston Martins appear in the movie: the classic V8 (originally seen in The Living Daylights), the hyper-car Valhalla (seen in Q’s lab), and the DBS Superleggera, which is driven by new MI6 spy Nomi.
Electromagnetic pulse watch
Before Bond and Nomi head out on their final mission, Q equips them with the tech they’ll need. They both get tracking devices so Q can monitor them in the base but Bond also receives an electromagnetic pulse watch. In typically scatter-brained fashion, the brilliant Q can’t confirm how effective it will be until Bond uses it.
Fortunately, it comes in incredibly handy when Bond gets into a fist fight with his false-eyed foe Primo (Dali Benssalah). Holding the watch up to Primo’s head, Bond uses the EMP, which seems to blow up his opponent’s eye, instantly killing him.
