The name is Bond, James Bond.
2022 marks the 60th anniversary of the first James Bond movie, Dr. No. This movie became a seminal moment in cinema, and established many of the tropes which would become iconic throughout the franchise: the thrilling theme music, the gun barrel sequence, ending the movie in the arms of a beautiful Bond girl... often somewhere out at sea, on a boat.
But between Dr. No and No Time To Die, Bond has used a lot more vehicles than just boats. Let's explore the cars, airplanes, tanks and space shuttles throughout all 25 official Bond movies!
Bond has a passion for sports cars - Goldfinger introduced us to the 1964 Aston Martin DB5, which would end up appearing in 8 movies, a total of 28 minutes and 3 seconds. It's the vehicle with the most screen time throughout the 25 movies.
And don't forget some of Bond's other legendary vehicles: the Orient Express in From Russia With Love, the submergible Lotus Esprit S1 in The Spy Who Loved Me, his 1985 Aston Martin V8 in The Living Daylights, or the T-54 tank he uses to chase general Ourumov through St. Petersburg in Goldeneye.
In the visual below, we've summarized the wide variety of vehicles ever used by James Bond throughout his 25 movies - on land, in the air, and on water!
