It features the pop-out gun barrels behind the front indicators, the bullet shield behind the rear window and a three-way revolving front number plate showing "LU 6789" or "4711-EA-62" or "BMT 216A." In 2010 RM Auctions sold the car for $4.6 million to Harry Yeaggy.[4][5] The first publicity car, DB5/2017/R, now belongs to the Louwman Museum in The Hague.[6] The second publicity car, DB5/2008/R, was auctioned by RM Sotheby's in August 2019 for $6.4 million to an unknown buyer.[7] |

Due to his height, Connery could not fit in the car, and thus Toyota built one-off cars for the film. Eon ordered two cars, one for filming and one for backup. After the shooting was completed, the filming car was sent to England for promotional use. At this time it was customized with gadgets by John Stears. At some point around the film's release, it disappeared and its whereabouts are unknown.

Nothing is known about what kind of gadgets were installed, except that it had a hiding place for a sniper rifle in the glovebox. Obviously — given what happens at the end of that movie — it was not fitted with bulletproof glass. The DBS is glimpsed in the subsequent film, Diamonds Are Forever, parked up in Q Branch back in London when Bond calls Q from Amsterdam. The car was actually cropped out of the frame on the "pan-and-scan version" of the film. Two cars were lent by Aston for On Her Majesty's Secret Service: DBS/5109/R for studio scenes and DBS/5234/R for exterior shots. Both used the registration GKX 8G. |

The Man with the Golden Gun | AMC Hornet | American Motors Car dealership | Featured in The Man with the Golden Gun.[12] Bond steals this red 1974 hatchback from an AMC dealership in Bangkok, Thailand. He makes his exit by crashing through the showroom window.[13] unknowing that Sheriff J.W. Pepper was in it looking to test drive it. A Hornet was also used for the famous twisting corkscrew aerial jump that was captured in just one filming sequence.[14][15] A special modified car performed the stunt with a lower stance and larger wheel wells (just as the Astro Spiral Javelin stunt cars that performed that same jump in AMC sponsored thrill shows) compared to the stock Hornet X model in all of its other appearances in the movie. Seven tests were performed in advance before the one jump performed by an uncredited British stuntman "Bumps" Williard for the film with six (or 8, depending on the source) cameras simultaneously rolling.[16] Two frogmen were positioned in the water, as well as an emergency vehicle and a crane were ready, but not needed. An engineer[17] at the Cornell Aeronautical Laboratory (CAL) used computer modeling to calculate the stunt and specified 1,460.06 kilograms (3,219 lb) for the weight of car and driver, the exact angles and the 15.86-metre (52 ft) distance between the ramps, as well as the 64.36-kilometre-per-hour (40 mph) launch speed.[18] This vehicle is on display at the National Motor Museum in Beaulieu, Hampshire.[19] The ramps and the modified jump car are still in the possession of the Jay Milligan's stunt company, JM Productions in Hamburg, New York. |
AMC Matador coupe | Francisco Scaramanga and Nick Nack | The featured car in The Man with the Golden Gun.[20] "Bond is foiled by perhaps the best trick a getaway car has ever performed; the Matador transforms into a plane."[21] Francisco Scaramanga and Nick Nack use this 1974 car to kidnap Mary Goodnight and make their escape. In the film, the Matador coupe is converted into a 'car plane' to fly from Bangkok to an island in the China Sea. With the flight tail unit, the complete machine was 9.15 metres (30 ft) long, 12.80 metres (42 ft) wide, and 3.08 metres (10 ft) high and the "flying AMC Matador" was exhibited at auto shows; however, it could only make a 500-metre (1,640 ft) flight so for the film's aerial sequences it was replaced by a meter-long (39-inch) remote controlled model.[18] Transformation of the AMC Matador into a light airplane occurred when wings and flight tail unit were attached to the actual car (that served as the fuselage and landing gear) and a stuntman drove the 'car plane' to a runway at which point the scene cut to the radio-controlled scale model built by John Stears.[16] See Aircraft section below. | |

Antonov An-124 on the outside, Ilyushin Il-76 when they're in the plane | North Korea | This aircraft is used to transport Gustav Graves' equipment and himself out of Iceland. The plane also serves as Graves' command centre during the activation of Icarus. The plane is later damaged and destroyed due to it passing the Icarus beam and also Graves being killed by one of the plane's engines along with Icarus itself. | |
MD Helicopters MD 600 | North Korea | Bond and Jinx drop out of the An-124 cargo hold to escape using this helicopter. | |
[[MD Helicopters MD 900 Explorer | Unknown | Shown picking up Zao from his clinic in Cuba. | |
Casino Royale | Skyfleet S570 | Skyfleet | A "prototype" plane featured in Casino Royale, actually a Boeing 747-200 originally used by British Airways as "G-BDXJ". It was refitted with two mockup engines on each inner pylon and external fuel tanks on the outer pylons, somewhat anachronistically resembling a B-52 Stratofortress. This aircraft survives, permanently grounded and repainted plain white, at Dunsfold Aerodrome, England, where all the airfield action was filmed.[58] |
Quantum of Solace | Douglas DC-3 | Unnamed Bolivian civilian | Actually, two separate Dakotas were used in the filming. This short sequence demanded the use of two locations, so far apart that it was considered expedient to use two aircraft. Both were stripped back to bare aluminium and made to look identical, for continuity purposes. |
SIAI-Marchetti SF.260TP | Bolivian Air Force | Sent by General Medrano to intercept Bond and Camille in their DC-3. However, Bond manages to outmanoeuver the SF.260TP and it crashes. | |
Bell 205 | Bolivian Air Force | Also sent by General Medrano to intercept Bond and Camille in their DC-3. | |

No Time to Die | Cessna 185 | Nomi, James Bond, Logan Ash | Used by Nomi for their mission in Cuba. Bond later borrows it to escape Cuba after capturing Valdo Obruchev. Later stolen by Logan Ash after betraying both Bond and Felix Leiter, with the latter being killed. |
AgustaWestland AW109S Grand | Lyustifer Safin's forces | Used to track Bond, Madeleine and Mathilde as well as capturing Madeleine and Mathilde | |
C-17 Globemaster | Royal Air Force | Used to transport Bond and Nomi to Safin's base so they can rescue Madeleine and Mathilde and foil Lyustifer Safin's plot. | |
Unnamed folding glider | MI6 | Used and piloted by Nomi to infiltrate Safin's base. The glider can even transform itself into a submersible, with the wings folding in as it dives underwater. | |
Russian MiGs | Unknown (Presumably Russian Air Force) | Shown intercepting Q's C-17 Globemaster in a attempt to force the plane to leave airspace to avoid an international incident despite Q letting Bond open the silos for a missile strike by the Royal Navy. |
Marine vehicles[]
Film | Vehicle | Owner | Notes | |
---|---|---|---|---|
Dr. No | Motor Patrol Boat | Royal Navy | With a crew of British sailors on this naval patrol boat, Felix Leiter finds Bond and Honey adrift at sea in their escape boat and offers to rescue them - but Bond prefers to be left alone with Honey. | |
Cabin Cruiser Patrol Boat | Dr. No | A cabin cruiser used as a patrol boat by Dr. No's security force to protect their employer's private island of Crab Key. This boat appears off shore and strafes the beach (where Bond, Honey Ryder and Quarrel are hiding) with machine gun fire. | ||
Cabin Cruiser Water Taxi | Dr. No or Water Taxi Captain | Operated by a fearful Jamaican Captain, this rather unkempt boat provides water taxi service between Kingston, Jamaica, and Crab Key. The main rule for the operation of this boat is that it never makes the trip in daylight – but emergency conditions prompt the persistent passenger, Professor Dent, to ignore this rule at his own peril. It is seen both as a full-sized prop and as a scale model on a miniature set. | ||
Lyman Islander 18 Runabout | Dr. No | Moored to the docks at Dr. No's bauxite mine, this little runabout is commandeered by Bond and used to escape Crab Key with Honey. Seen both as a full-sized prop and as a scale model on a miniature set, it is featured in the final shot of the movie. | ||
Motor Longboat | Felix Leiter or rental | This simple motorized dinghy is used by Felix to transport Bond from Kingston Harbor to his rendezvous at sea with Quarrel's boat. | ||
Sailing Dinghies | Quarrel and Honey Ryder | Two such simple sailboats (one belonging to Honey and one belonging to Quarrel) are featured: one to covertly transport Bond and Quarrel onto Crab Key by night and the other to do the same for Honey. Her beached boat is destroyed by machine gun fire, while Quarrel's (which is normally used for fishing trips) features in several earlier scenes, as well. | ||
Tugboat | Dr. No | This industrial tug escorts the water taxi up to the bauxite mine docks on Crab Key. It is not a life-sized vessel, but is instead represented by a scale model on a miniature set. | ||
Passenger Liner SS Rotterdam | Holland America Lines | A background vessel prominently visible at Kingston Harbor when Bond meets with Quarrel. Though no name is given in the movie, her real life name was Evangeline and she was owned by the Volusia Steamship Co. With her name changed to Yarmouth Castle, this ship was lost at sea in a tragic fire 3 years later. | ||
From Russia with Love | Luxury Yacht Delos | Ernst Stavro Blofeld or SPECTRE | Blofeld (#1) holds a planning meeting with Rosa Klebb (#3) and Kronsteen (#5) aboard this vessel, anchored in Venice Harbor. For the failure of his plan, Kronsteen is later executed at another meeting aboard this same vessel. Originally built by Blohm & Voss in 1955, under the name Wappen Von Hamburg, she was owned and renamed Delos by the Greek Nomikos Line at the time of filming. She is now named MV Aurora under a new owner. | |
Bosphorus Ferry | Municipality of Istanbul | A public passenger ferry, where Bond and Tatiana Romanova meet while posing as tourists during a sightseeing cruise along the Bosporus. | ||
Fairey Huntress 23 Powerboat | SPECTRE | Three Fairey Huntresses appear in the film, one of which is commandeered by Bond and used as an escape boat for himself and Tatiana Romanova off the Dalmatian Coast. The two SPECTRE Huntresses seen burning in the film were mock-ups. Bond's boat was either hull 61, named Gay Dolphin, or hull 62, Rumble II. The other SPECTRE boat was a long-cabin variant, hull 48, named Liberty. | ||
Fairey Huntsman 28 Powerboat | SPECTRE | Two Fairey Huntsmans were used, one of which was the camera boat. A mock-up was used in the fire scene. The boat seen in the film is hull 34, now named Here and Now. This boat suffered a fire in 2015.[60] The identity of the camera boat is unknown. | ||
Motor Dinghy | Ernst Stavro Blofeld or SPECTRE | Presumably deployed from Blofeld's yacht, this small craft brings Kronsteen to the meeting aboard the larger luxury vessel. | ||
Water Taxi | Water Taxi Driver or Service | A small antique motor vessel that carries Bond and Tatiana on a romantic trip along the canals of Venice, Italy in the final scene of the movie. | ||
Venetian Gondolas | Gondolier or Gondolier Service | Though never used by any character in the movie, several of these craft are seen plying the canals as incidental vessels to establish the location of Venice, Italy (both at the beginning of the story, proper (following the opening action and main title sequences and at the end). | ||
Dinghy | Kerim Bey or British Intelligence | Kerim transports Bond through the ancient underground aqueducts of Istanbul in a small punted dinghy (kept beneath the British Intelligence station), to a chamber beneath the Soviet embassy, where they can observe an enemy meeting room by periscope. | ||
Punt | Bond, Sylvia Trench or rental | Bond and Sylvia relax and prepare to enjoy a picnic lunch in a grounded punting boat alongside a river in a park somewhere in the London area, just before he is called away on his mission by headquarters. Another couple also passes by on the river in a similar punt. | ||
Goldfinger | None | None | This is the rare Bond movie with no prominent watercraft used or owned by any significant character - though there are a few incidental boats (being small rowboats or sailboats) seen at the docks where Bond swims ashore to sabotage a Latin American oil storage facility in the pre-credit action sequence and many incidental boats (of various recreational types) seen in the background off Miami Beach. | |
Thunderball | Specialized Luxury Yacht Disco Volante | Emilio Largo or SPECTRE | With an Italian name that means "Flying Saucer" in English, Disco Volante is a modern, low slung, luxury yacht with a crew of several dozen and many secret features. Having underwater security cameras and an internal mini-sub/bomb storage bay with underwater hull doors, it can separate into two sections. Seen both as a full-sized prop and as a scale model, this vessel plays a key part in Largo's entire plot and escape attempt. The scale model version is destroyed in an explosive crash into a coral islet.
Two ships were used in the film as well as a scale model. In scenes where the Disco Volante was at anchor, the yacht Natoya is seen. The Natoya was one of six "Cruisemaster" yachts built in 1947-48 by Defoe Shipbuilding Company. Her original owner was Harold DuCharme of Grosse Pointe. Later in life she carried the names Jacqueline B and Our House III. On 29 January 1992 she was scuttled off the coast of Fort Lauderdale and named the Wendy Rossheim Memorial Reef.[61] The second ship was a PT-20 hydrofoil built by Rodriquez Cantieri Navali and originally named Flying Fish. Upon acquisition she was modified by 3M Shipyard in Miami and given a 50 foot, detachable catamaran cocoon. The hydrofoil and cocoon were sold separately after filming, and their ultimate fates are unknown.[62] | |
Type 12M Rothesay Class Frigate | Royal Navy | Though no name for this ship is given in the movie, her hull number (107) identifies her as the real life HMS Rothesay. While deployed to Bahamian waters, this British warship (crewed by actual RN personnel) participated in the movie filming for 3 days, appearing as one of the 5 military vessels in pursuit of Disco Volante during the climactic naval chase. In this capacity, the ship even fires upon the enemy yacht with its main artillery gun (presumably loaded with blanks). The film's stars, Sean Connery and Claudine Auger were given a well publicized tour of the Royal Navy vessel at the time. | ||
Cape Class Patrol Boats USCGC Cape Knox (CG95312) and USCGC Cape Horn (CG95322) | US Coast Guard | This identical pair of real life US Coast Guard patrol boats (crewed by actual Coast Guard personnel) participated in the movie filming as 2 of the 5 military vessels in pursuit of Disco Volante during the climactic naval chase. Their names are visible on their sterns. | ||
Mark V 40' UTB Utility Boat (CG40590) | US Coast Guard | This real life US Coast Guard utility boat (crewed by actual Coast Guard personnel) participated in the movie filming as 1 of the 5 military vessels in pursuit of Disco Volante during the climactic naval chase. Generally known as a "Forty" or "Forty Boat" (due to its length in feet), this type of UTB was quite common in USCG service at the time. It can be identified by its hull number. | ||
Mark I 40' UTB Utility Boat (CG40410) | US Coast Guard | This real life US Coast Guard utility boat (crewed by actual Coast Guard personnel) participated in the movie filming as 1 of the 5 military vessels in pursuit of Disco Volante during the climactic naval chase. Generally known as a "Forty" or "Forty Boat" (due to its length in feet), this type of UTB was quite common in USCG service at the time. This particular boat, however (with a prone sailor firing a .30 cal machine gun from its bow), looks to have been significantly modified with the removal of its cabin and other changes in its appearance - but the hull number clearly identifies it as part of the Mark I "Forty Boat" series. | ||
28' Chris-Craft Sea Skiff Powerboat | Emilio Largo or SPECTRE | Piloted by the Captain of Disco Volante and crewed by some of the yacht's sailors, this large powerboat picks Domino, Largo, and his entourage up at the Café Martinique Casino, when they leave. It is probably kept at Largo's Palmyra estate. | ||
22' Chris-Craft Sea Skiff Runabout | Water Taxi Service or Café Martinique | Bond arrives at the Café Martinique Casino in this classic runabout, which seems to be operated as a public water taxi or guest service boat by the Casino. Another similar water taxi is seen leaving with a load of tourists just as Bond arrives at the dock. | ||
Buehler Turbocraft Runabout | Domino Derval or Emilio Largo/SPECTRE | As one of the first jet boats to be marketed, this unique runabout either belongs to Domino or has been provided for her use by Largo. It is seen when Bond first meets Domino while snorkel diving off the coast of Nassau and is used by her to take him back to shore. It is also seen anchored nearby, when the two have an underwater tryst at Love Beach and is used to transfer Domino onto Disco Volante with a geiger counter/camera for the final act. She will also lend it to Bond, as it appears in the background when he swims ashore at the Palmyra breakwater, evidently being the vessel that brought him there. | ||
Evinrude Sport-16 Runabout | Paula Caplain, Pinder, British Intelligence or rental | A small, square bowed, outboard runabout that is supplied for Bond's use, possibly by Pinder (the British Intelligence Station Chief in the Bahamas) or Paula Caplain (a field assistant, who also lives there). It is used by Bond and Paula when they first meet Domino Derval while snorkel diving off the Nassau coast, whereupon Bond transfers from the Evinrude with Paula to Domino's boat. It is seen again when Bond and Felix Leiter reconnoiter the anchored Disco Volante by day. (NOTE: Due to a continuity error, this description applies only to the wide exterior shots - while the studio close-ups in front of a rear projection screen show Bond and Leiter in a slightly different, unidentifiable prop boat) | ||
Evinrude Playmate Runabout | Emilio Largo or SPECTRE | A tiny runabout, apparently carried by Disco Volante as a dinghy. It is used by 3 of Largo's men in an attempt to run Bond down while he conducts an underwater reconnaissance of the yacht by night. Hitting something, they believe they have killed him, but have actually only clipped his detached scuba tank with the boat's propeller. | ||
Bomb Sled Submersible | Emilio Largo or SPECTRE | A bright orange, spade-shaped, twin prop submersible with an open 2-man cockpit and a pair of side racks for the underwater carriage of two atomic bombs, designed and built specifically for the movie. Stowed in a hangar bay aboard Disco Volante and used by Largo's scuba crew every time the bombs must be transported to or from the yacht, it also features handholds for the external carriage of several more divers (in addition to the 2-man crew), 6 forward-firing spear guns and 2 headlights. As such, it also serves as a kind of underwater tank in battle, until captured by US Navy divers allied with Bond. This craft is also used by Largo and Bond (when disguised as a SPECTRE diver). It is incorrectly referred to by Largo as a "submarine", though it is clearly a "submersible". The difference is that the former is a sealed underwater vessel that stays dry with an oxygenated atmosphere inside, while the latter is un underwater vessel that is open to the sea or fills with water, requiring any crew members to wear scuba gear. | ||
Scuba Sleds | Emilio Largo or SPECTRE | Several small, wedge-shaped, 1-man, motorized aqua-sleds with handlebar controls, for the external carriage of scuba divers, designed and built specifically for the movie. Stowed in a hangar bay aboard Disco Volante and frequently used by Largo's scuba crew during underwater operations, they also feature twin, forward-firing spear guns and headlights for combat. During the climactic, underwater battle scene, one of these craft is used by Largo and another two (commandeered from the enemy on separate occasions) are used by Bond. Most seem to be abandoned at sea with the defeat of SPECTRE. | ||
Motorized Scuba Rig | Issued to Bond by British Intelligence | A specialized, triple-tanked scuba rig, designed and built specifically for the movie, with a small electric motor for self-propulsion. Featuring a forward-firing mini-torpedo launcher and a headlight, it leaves a trail of yellow dye in the water, which is supposed to be some kind of underwater concealment device (similar to a smoke screen) to be deployed against pursuers, but is instead deployed all the time by the Director, just for the look of it. Issued to 007 by Q in Pinder's British Intelligence station and used by Bond during the climactic underwater battle, it is destroyed when he switches to a miniature re-breather and abandons the larger rig in a shipwreck to lure enemy divers close so that he can drop an underwater grenade on them. | ||
Rubber Boat | Pinder or British Intelligence | A paddle-powered, commando-style assault raft (known in military parlance as a "rubber boat"), used by Leiter and Pinder to deploy Bond into the sea by night for his underwater reconnaissance of Disco Volante. Oddly enough, they do not wait around to pick him up and he must make his own way back by hitchhiking. | ||
Rescue Raft | US Navy, US Air Force or C.I.A. | A circular, self-inflating life raft, equipped with the Fulton Surface-To-Air Recovery System (STARS) and dropped to Bond and Domino at sea from a modified B-17 rescue plane. Used by the US Navy, US Air Force and C.I.A. in the early '60s, this rescue system involved a dirigible-shaped, bottle-inflated, helium balloon that would rise into the air trailing a 500-foot nylon cable with a harness at the bottom end for a rescue subject. The cable would then be caught in a special fork on the nose of the rescue plane and the rescue subject would be whisked into the air in the harness to trail beneath and behind the aircraft, where a crew in the belly of the plane would snatch the cable with hooks, attach it to a winch, and reel the subject into the bomb bay. With Domino clinging tightly to him, Bond uses this system to be plucked from the sea in the final scene of the movie. | ||
Catamaran Tropic Rover | Unknown | A giant, two-masted, gaffe rigged catamaran, incidentally anchored near Disco Volante off Nassau. Her name clearly appears on her bow. First seen by Bond and Leiter by day, it is used by them and Pinder that night for concealment as the insertion point for Bond's underwater reconnaissance of the enemy yacht and he is chased back under it by SPECTRE boatmen afterwards, to again use it for concealment in his escape. Within the movie, no owner or reason for this vessel to be present (other than coincidence) is given. However, owned by Tropic Cruises Ltd, and captained by its designer Syd Hartshorne in real life, Tropic Rover was well known for charter tours around Nassau, had been featured in "Life" magazine, and was the largest catamaran in the world at that time. Two years later in 1967, she ran aground and sank in Nassau Harbor, with no loss of life. | ||
Topsail Schooner | Unknown | A large, old fashioned, two-masted topsail schooner seen prominently in the background when Bond meets Domino off the Nassau coast. It seems to be plying back and forth all through the filming day, suggesting that its presence must have been arranged with the real life owner by the film makers (rather than by incidental coincidence). Even discounting the possible incidental appearance of this ship, "Thunderball" easily features the most marine vehicles and watercraft of any James Bond film. | ||
You Only Live Twice | Modernized A Class Overseas Patrol Submarine | Royal Navy | This cold war submarine, operated by RN personnel, appears to be on loan from the Royal Navy to British Intelligence for use by M as a mobile headquarters. Outfitted with an office for the intelligence chief and a reception room for Moneypenny, it bears the fictional pennant number M-1 (probably in reference to the boat's temporary assignment to M). It appears at the beginning of the movie (where Bond is secretly taken on board after his falsified funeral at sea, receives his mission briefing, and is deployed ashore to Japan through a torpedo tube), and again at the end (where he and Kissy Suzuki are scooped up in their rescue raft by the surfacing sub). Though no name is given for this vessel in the movie, it is the real life HMS Aneas - a streamline modified version of the WWII era A Class diesel/electric boats that served as the backbone of Britain's patrol submarine force in the early 1960s. | |
Type 12 Whitby Class Frigate | Royal Navy | Though given no name in the movie, it can be seen by her pennant number (F65) that this is the real life HMS Tenby (crewed by actual RN personnel). It is the warship on which Bond's false funeral and burial at sea are held in Hong Kong Harbor. | ||
Freighter Ship MV Ning Po | Osato Chemicals, SPECTRE, China, or some complicit shipping company | A commercial freighter ship used by Osato Chemicals for the secret transport of rocket fuel to Blofeld's volcano base. First seen in an enemy photograph stolen from Mr. Osato's safe, the motor vessel and its cargo are investigated by Bond and Aki at the Kobe Docks in Japan, whereupon Bond is captured and taken aboard to the quarters of Helga Brandt. It is seen again in a reconnaissance photo, showing (by its water line) that the cargo has been offloaded. Ownership of this vessel is unclear, though it seems to be controlled by Mr. Osato of Osato Chemicals on behalf of SPECTRE, and is probably owned by one of them. The name Ning Po, however, suggests that it may be a state-owned Chinese ship, since SPECTRE is working for some unidentified Asian country (judging by the two Asian representatives who meet with Blofeld) that wants to instigate a war between the US and the USSR - which would presumably be Red China (or, perhaps, North Korea). The owner may also be some unidentified shipping company that is complicit in the SPECTRE plan, as a preliminary investigation by Tiger Tanaka reveals that the ship has a Panamanian registry (which is common for commercial ships from anywhere, as Panama has lenient maritime regulations). | ||
Public Shuttle Boat | Local public utility or shuttle service company | A quaint, old-fashioned, Japanese shuttle boat of wood and bamboo construction with a chugging engine sound. Disguised as locals among many other passengers, Bond, Kissy Suzuki and Tiger Tinaka travel to the Ama fishing village aboard this vessel. | ||
Ama Boats | Kissy Suzuki and other villagers | Small, simple, stern-rowed, wooden boats (similar to sampans), used for ama-style pearl diving. Disguised as a husband and wife team in their own such boat, Bond and Kissy Suzuki (with he rowing and she diving) break away from the rest of the pearling fleet in order to investigate a nearby cave. The boat is abandoned there when poison gas is detected, prompting the two occupants to dive overboard. | ||
Life Rafts | SIS or Japanese Defense Forces | Many bright orange, inflatable life rafts are air-dropped to Tanaka's ninja force by military transport plane as they make their swimming escape from Blofeld's volcano base. Among this force, Bond and Kissy Suzuki get into their own raft, which drifts apart from the others. Just as the couple starts to get romantic, however, their raft is scooped up on the deck of M's submarine, which surfaces directly beneath them in the final scene of the movie. | ||
On Her Majesty's Secret Service | Rowboat | Unknown - Presumably a local fisherman | Though not used for transport by any character, a small wooden rowboat is seen propped upside-down (in the local dry storage method) on a Portuguese beach in the pre-title action sequence. During a fight against several attackers, Bond throws one of his opponents beneath this boat and kicks out the prop stake to trap the man under its hull. | |
Diamonds Are Forever | Mountbatten Class SR.N4 Hovercraft Ferry Princess Margaret | Seaspeed ferry service | Hovercraft are difficult vehicles to classify as they fly at an altitude of a few inches on a cushion of air over flat land or water - qualifying them as water, land, or air craft, simultaneously. The one in this movie is shown traveling down a concrete land ramp and across the English Channel. It is the BHC (British Hovercraft Corporation), formerly Saro (Saunders-Roe) SR.N4 (Saunders Roe.Nautical 4), Princess Margaret which, together with her sister craft, Princess Anne, offered ferry service from Dover, England to Boulogne-sur-Mer and Calais, France, operated by Seaspeed from 1968 to 1981 (and thence by Hoverspeed until 2000). Her name is visible on her bow, as is the Seaspeed logo. Driving a commandeered car, Bond takes this ferry from Britain to mainland Europe at the beginning of his mission to Amsterdam. In real life, the Princess Margaret could accommodate 254 passengers and 30 cars, until modified in 1972 to carry more. The Mountbatten Class is the largest hovercraft of its time and still holds the record for fastest car ferrying trip across the English Channel. Being vulnerable to high winds, she was blown aground in a 1981 accident with the loss of 4 passengers killed. She is now on display at the Hovercraft Museum in Hampshire, England. | |
Ballistic Missile Submarine | Soviet Navy | A submerged Soviet nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarine that is destroyed while underway by Blofeld's laser satellite. This is not a full-sized vessel, but is instead a scale model on an aquarium set. Though marked with a red star and clearly intended to represent a Soviet submarine, the model more closely resembles a US Benjamin Franklin Class. | ||
Canberra Class Ocean Liner | Unknown Shipping Company, possibly belonging to Willard Whyte | A steam powered, turbo-electric ocean liner on which Bond and Tiffany Case travel back to England from the United States and aboard which Mr. Wint and Mr. Kid make their final attack on Bond. Though the point of departure for this voyage is not specified in the film, it would presumably be New York, as in the book. No owner is mentioned, but the billionaire/industrialist Willard Whyte claims that he can order the captain around, which suggests that he might be the owner of the vessel or the shipping line. Though no name is given in the movie, this is the real life SS Canberra, a British ocean liner, owned by P&O Shipping Lines which ran from England to Australia between 1961 and 1974, at which time she was converted into a cruise ship until scrapped in 1997. She was also pressed into service as a troop transport for the 1982 Falklands War between the United Kingdom and Argentina. | ||
Canal Excursion Boat Prins Willem Alexander | Reederij P. Kooij Canal Tours | A Dutch-style, motorized canal excursion boat with a glass top. To establish the Amsterdam location, this boat is shown on a sight-seeing cruise of the Amstel River. Its female tour guide is heard to express shock as she passes a crime scene where the body of Mrs. Whistler is being recovered from the water. The name of this real life vessel can be seen on the bow and its company of ownership is printed on the windshield. | ||
Dutch Canal Boat Jan Van der Hiede | Unknown | A Dutch-style canal boat that has become part of a crime scene along the Amstel River in Amsterdam, Netherlands. Though apparently an ordinary civilian vessel (rather than a police boat), it has been either commandeered or simply boarded by the Amsterdam police and used as a platform to recover Mrs. Whistler's body from the water. Its name is visible on the hull. | ||
Bathosub | Ernst Stavro Blofeld | A fictitious, wedge-shaped, one-man mini-sub, designed specifically for the movie. Kept on Blofeld's offshore oil rig/satellite control base, it is intended for the villain's personal use as an emergency escape vehicle - though when he tries to use it as such in the climactic battle scene, Bond gains control of the bathosub's launching crane and uses the mini-sub as a wrecking ball with Blofeld inside. Here, the long-standing Bond nemesis is presumably killed in this vessel, but his death is left somewhat ambiguous. Probably a non-working prop (as it never gets free from its crane hook and is, thus, never shown to operate in the water as a submarine), the bathosub seems to be misnamed, as the word does not apply to any real world type of vehicle. The closest actual word would be "bathyscaph", which is an entirely different type of underwater vehicle, intended only to go up or down to great depths, with limited lateral movement. | ||
Wave Walker | British Intelligence, CIA or Willard Whyte | A spherical (slightly polygonal) watertight flotation device in which a single person can stand or walk on the surface of water. The walking action turns the sphere (much like a hamster wheel), imparting directional motion to it across the water. Normally a leisure device, the one in the movie is specially equipped with a triple parachute (in the fashion of a space capsule). Within it, Bond is air dropped into the Baja Sea near Blofeld's offshore oil rig /satellite control base, whereupon he water-walks to the platform. It is apparently issued to Bond for this purpose by British Intelligence or the CIA (with whom he is working closely), or perhaps by the billionaire aerospace industrialist, Willard White, who owns all manner of high-tech equipment (and with whom Bond is also working closely). | ||
Live and Let Die | LST Assault Ship/ | Unknown | An old, rusty WWII era LST (Landing Ship, Tank) that has been converted to industrial purposes. It is moored along a river in the Irish Bayou of Louisiana during the boat chase sequence. By ramming attack with his own commandeered boat, Bond deflects Adam's out-of-control speedboat into the open bow ramp of the LST, causing the enemy boat to crash and explode inside the assault ship (presumably killing Adam in the process). | |
Dredge Barge | Unknown | An old, rusty dredging barge, loaded with painting equipment. It is moored alongside an LST assault ship on a river in the Irish Bayou of Louisiana during the boat chase sequence. In his own commandeered boat, Bond hides behind this barge, from which he grabs a bucket of paint thinner to throw into Adam's eyes in order to blind the pursuing henchman and send his speedboat out of control. | ||
Cabin Cruiser | Quarrel Jr. or British Intelligence | A rather unkempt cabin cruiser operated by Bond's field assistant, Quarrel Jr. in keeping with his cover identity as a deep sea fishing guide. It is first seen at a tourist trap dock on the fictional island of San Monique, where Bond and Rosie Carver first meet Quarrel Jr. and pretend to hire him and his boat for a charter fishing trip, whereupon it takes them up the coast to reconnoiter Solitaire's cliff-top mansion and drops the couple off at another dock, nearby. The same boat later tows Bond into the air on a hang glider to infiltrate the mansion grounds. Quarrel Jr. picks Bond and Solitaire up with this boat as they arrive by stolen double-deck bus (under police pursuit) to escape San Monique from the same dock by which they arrived. It is again seen at the climax of the story as the scuba diving platform from which Felix Leiter drops Bond and Quarrel Jr. off on their infiltration of Kananga's secret lair and for the recovery of Quarrel Jr, afterward. Several similar cabin cruisers (in much better maintenance condition) are also seen at the tourist trap dock, where other fishing guides (who seem far more enterprising than Quarrel Jr.) unsuccessfully bid for Bond's charter business. | ||
Glastron GT-150 Speedboat | Dr. Kananga | A small outboard speedboat, stolen by Bond from Dr. Kananga's crocodile farm/drug lab and piloted by him at the beginning of the boat chase through the Irish Bayou in Louisiana. It is this boat (modified for ramp stability with two hull rails on the underside and the pilot's seat moved to the center-line) that makes the record-breaking 120 foot jump over Sheriff Pepper's police car on a causeway road. When its engine takes a bullet hit, Bond must abandon the GT-150 for another boat. | ||
Glastron CV-19 Jet Speedboat | Deke Rodgers | A small hydro-jet powered speedboat. Moored at Deke Rodger's house along the Irish Bayou, Bond transfers to this boat, which he steals after his original GT-150 is disabled by gunfire, then completes the remainder of the boat chase in it. The CV-19 survives the chase and is presumably returned to Rodgers after Bond relinquishes it at a Louisiana marina, where Felix Leiter is waiting with a police entourage. | ||
Glastron-Carlson CV-21 Jet Speedboat | Billy-Bob | A souped-up hydro-jet powered speedboat, stolen from park ranger, Billy-Bob from a Louisiana Parks and Wildlife station by Kananga henchman Adam, who uses it to pursue Bond in the boat chase sequence. Among the many craft involved in the chase, it is the last one destroyed, when Bond blinds Adam with paint thinner, sending it out of control. By ramming attack with his own commandeered boat, Bond deflects Adam's out-of-control speedboat into the open bow ramp of an LST, causing the enemy boat to crash and explode inside the assault ship (presumably killing Adam in the process). | ||
Glastron V-162 Futura Speedboat | Kananga henchman | A small outboard speedboat, which is one of many that pursue Bond in the boat chase through the Irish Bayou of Louisiana. While trying to follow Bond's stolen boat through a record-breaking jump over a causeway road, this boat is destroyed when it falls short and spears through Sheriff J.W. Pepper's car. | ||
Glastron V-184 Crestflite Jet Speedboat | Kananga henchmen | A small hydro-jet powered speedboat, which is one of many that pursue Bond in the boat chase through the Irish Bayou of Louisiana. While trying to follow Bond's boat across a lawn between bends of a river, this boat plows overland through an outdoor wedding ceremony. It crashes through the wedding cake table, before ending up stuck in a cabana tent. | ||
Glastron V-145 Fireflite Speedboat | Dr. Kananga henchmen | A small outboard speedboat, which is one of the many that pursue Bond in the boat chase through the Irish Bayou of Louisiana. While trying to follow Bond's boat across a lawn between bends of a river, this boat ends up in the swimming pool of Deke Rodger's elegant estate. | ||
Glastron V-156 Sportster Speedboat | Kananga Henchmen | Two of these small outboard speedboats pursue Bond in the boat chase through the Irish Bayou of Louisiana. One is disabled after crashing into a tree, the other is simply outrun by Bond (along with Kananga henchman, Adam, who remains in the chase). | ||
Johnboat | Unknown (presumably policemen) | Two of these small craft play an active part of the police blockade at Miller's Bridge along the Irish Bayou of Louisiana, during the boat chase sequence. One is plowed through by Bond in his commandeered speedboat and the other is plowed through by Adam in his stolen speedboat. Many other small boats are present at the blockade as incidental craft, but no others are directly involved in the action. | ||
The Man With the Golden Gun | Ocean Liner RMS Queen Elizabeth | presumably British Intelligence | A wrecked and partially sunken ocean liner in Hong Kong Harbor, which is being used as a secret base (with a refurbished interior) by British Intelligence. As identified in the film dialogue, this is the real-life RMS Queen Elizabeth, the largest passenger ship in the world at that time. Originally owned by Cunard Shipping Lines, she served as a British troop ship in WWII and then ran a commercial trans-Atlantic route between Southampton, UK and New York City, United States from 1946 to 1969. After that, she ran a route from New York to the Caribbean, before being sold to the Hong Kong-based Orient Overseas Line for conversion to a university cruise ship that was to be called Seawise University. While being refitted for that purpose in 1972, however, the ship caught fire, partially capsized, and sank in Hong Kong Harbor, where she appears in the film. Eventually, she was declared a shipping hazard and partially scrapped where she lay. What remains still lies buried on the harbor floor. The cause of the fire remains unknown. | |
Chinese Junk | Francisco Scaramanga | A traditional, 3 masted, Chinese junk, modified with motorized propulsion and a modern luxury interior, to serve as Francisco Scaramanga's personal yacht. It is seen off the coast of Hong Kong, Bangkok, and Scaramanga's private island, where it is used for transport, as a reconnaissance platform to observe Bond's hotel, a safe storage vault for the solex agitator, and for bedroom trysts between the villain and his mistress. In the end, it is commandeered by Bond and Mary Goodnight for their escape from Scaramanga's island, where it is the scene of a final fight between Bond and Nick Nack. Though given no name in the movie, this vessel is the real life June Hong Chain Lee, a Malaysian Junk, built in 1962 and originally used as a merchant cargo vessel, but now owned by The Junk Worldwide Dive and Sail of Phuket, Thailand, for charter scuba diving excursions. It is the only operational junk of its vintage type left in the world. | ||
Hydrofoil Ferry Flying Sandpiper | Hong Kong Macao Hydrofoil Co. | A medium-sized hydrofoil ferry configured for passenger service. Built by Rodriquez Cantieri Navali and operated by Hong Kong Macao Hydrofoil Co. since 1972 for ferry service between those two islands. Bond follows Andrea Anders from Macao to Hong Kong aboard this ferry. Its name is clearly visible along the side of the superstructure. | ||
Hong Kong Police Boat No. 20 | Hong Kong Marine Police | A smallish (maybe 23 foot) cabin cruiser type police patrol boat with flashing blue lights and the designation "No. 20" clearly visible on its stern. Seeming to be an enemy, Lieutenant Hip transports Bond (while under false arrest) across Hong Kong Harbor, when Bond "escapes" by jumping off onto the sunken hulk of RMS Queen Elizabeth. As it turns out, no escape was necessary as Hip turns out to be an ally who was transporting Bond to the ocean liner hulk all along. | ||
Klong Tour Boat | Unknown Tour Company | Several identical teakwood, canopied, open tour boats with a 20 to 30 passenger seating capacity (presumably all belonging to the same tour company) can be seen operating along the klongs of the floating market in Bangkok, Thailand. Though mostly incidental, three of these vessels play a direct role in the boat chase action, with one pulling out of a slip to cut off the chase boat, one containing a little street urchin boy who jumps off and swims to Bond's boat and one containing Sheriff J.W. Pepper and his wife May Bell as the passing chase boats splash water on them. | ||
Longtail Longboat | Hai Fat, Hai Fat's Kung-Fu School or one of the kung-fu students | A long, canoe-like, six-man, longtail motorboat (being a type of Thai motorboat powered by an outboard car engine on a stern tiller mount, turning a screw at the end of a long boom axle). Moored on a Klong in front of Hai Fat's Kung Fu School, six kung-fu students jump into this boat and give chase after Bond, upon his escape from the school in another longtail. A ramming attack from Bond's boat cuts it in half and dumps the students into the drink. | ||
Longtail Skiff | Unknown | A short, one-man, longtail motorboat (being a type of Thai motorboat powered by an outboard car engine on a stern tiller mount, turning a screw at the end of a long boom axle). Moored on a Klong in front of Hai Fat's Kung Fu School, Bond steals this boat to escape from the school, whereupon he is taken under pursuit by six kung-fu students in another longtail. After foiling his pursuers by ramming their boat and cutting it in half, Bond makes good his leisurely escape and presumably abandons his stolen craft, intact, when finished with it. Due to the torque of their big car engines, these boats are easy to turn in one direction, but hard to turn in the opposite direction (when they often over-steer). Because of this issue, Roger Moore managed to capsize his longtail and dump himself into the filthy Klong water during filming. | ||
Rowboat | Unidentified Rower | A small, simple, open, wood boat, propelled by oars. This little craft, rowed by an unidentified character, drops the mob assassin, Rodney, off at Scaramanga's island in the pre-title action sequence. | ||
Sampan | Unidentified Thai Woman | A simple, wedge-shaped, flat bottomed, wood boat, common to Southeast Asia and powered by paddle or punting pole. At the end of the boat chase scene, Sheriff J. W. Pepper looks on from a dock as a tourist. Just as he recognizes Bond, he is knocked by a baby elephant into the Klong between two of these sampan boats - one of which is occupied by a Thai woman, who giggles at the Sheriff's undignified predicament. Several similar craft are seen as incidental props all along the Klongs. | ||
Casino de Macau Floating Casino | Sociedade de Turismo e Diversoes de Macau | Though more of a building built on a stationary barge than a true watercraft, the floating Casino de Macau casino is featured in the background when Bond arrives at Lazar's gun shop in Macau. Later, he enters the presumably same casino while following the trail of a bullet shipment which is passed from Lazar to Andrea at the gaming tables. At the time of filming, the casino was moored along Rua Das Lorchas between Ponte 12 & 14. At some point, its name was changed to Macau Palace Casino, and the building was rebuilt or renovated to a different appearance. This new version has been towed to the inner harbor of Macau, where it has been out of business for some time. Though no owner of this establishment is mentioned in the film, all Macau casinos at that time were owned by a monopoly called Sociedade de Turismo e Diversoes de Macau. | ||
The Spy Who Loved Me | Specialized Lotus Esprit S1 Sportscar/Submarine "Wet Nellie" | British Intelligence | A modified Lotus Esprit S1 sportscar that converts into a mini-submarine. During transformation, the wheels retract and the wheel wells are covered over by fairings, fins sprout from the fairings and the dashboard instruments change to a nautical instrument panel (all activated by a lever on the floor). It features tubes behind the rear license plate that spray liquid cement on land and squid-like ink in water (activated by a dashboard switch), an anti-aircraft mini-missile launcher in the rear window (activated by a stickshift button with a targeting monitor on the center console), a mini-torpedo launcher in the hood (activated by a steering wheel button), a mine dispenser in the bottom (activated by a dashboard switch) and a periscope in the roof (which displays its image on a viewscreen near the rear-view mirror). Developed by MI-6, this car/sub is issued to Bond by Q at a ferry dock in Sardinia and piloted by him (with Anya Amisova as passenger) in a road car chase and an underwater mini-sub/scuba battle, after which it is piloted out of the sea before an astonished beach crowd. In real life, there were 6 versions of the Lotus used in filming (most of which were normal cars, one of which was modified for the transformation scene, one of which was watertight to emerge from the sea on a cable tow and one of which was a submersible only). There was also a scale model version for use on a miniature aquarium set in conjunction with a scale model of Stromberg's underwater laboratory. The submersible (or wet-sub) was not watertight or pressurized, but filled with water and was operated by two scuba divers – requiring heavily louvered windows to hide the scuba-suited occupants. It featured four fins, two rudders and four electric motors that could only run forward. Though never mentioned in film dialogue, the submersible version was nicknamed "Wet Nellie" by the film crew (after the "Little Nellie" gyroplane in "You Only Live Twice". After filming (and a promotional tour), it was put into storage and forgotten for ten years, until the entire contents of the storage locker were bought at auction, sight unseen, for $100. In 2013, this buyer sold it at auction for 616,000 pounds to Elon Musk. | |
Specialized Oil Supertanker MT Liparus | Stromberg Shipping Lines | A gigantic oil supertanker (said to be the largest in the western world), which is actually a secret mobile submarine base. It features an advanced underwater tracking system (for tracking submarines), a magnetic field generator (for disabling submarines), clam shell bow doors (for capturing or launching submarines), and an internal submarine bay (capable of accommodating 3 submarines). It also features armories, missile storage facilities, a mission control room, 3 detention brigs, and a monorail transport system. All this is in addition to the normal ship features (such as bridge, crew quarters and engine rooms), which it presumably has, as well. Owned by Karl Stromberg and operated by an armed crew of hundreds, under the command of an unnamed Captain, this ship serves as the operational base for the villain's plot, and is the primary scene of the movie climax. The plot involves capturing nuclear submarines, imprisoning their crews, and using their nuclear missiles to provoke WWIII between the US and USSR, in order to destroy the corrupt surface civilization of Earth, so that a new Utopian civilization can be built under the sea. In the end, it is overtaken in battle by the captive allied submarine crews (freed by Bond) and is eventually sunk with all hands, due to damage sustained in this battle.
Externally, Liparus is not a real ship, but is represented by a scale model – though, at 80 feet in length, it is a very large scale model, powered by an outboard motorboat engine. Its internal spaces are built on the massive 007 sound-stage at Pinewood studios, and the submarine bay is the largest interior set ever built in the history of motion pictures (surpassing the previous record, which had been held by the volcano base in You Only Live Twice. | ||
Specialized Monorail Car/Motorboat | Stromberg Shipping Lines | A monorail car of the Liparus' internal transportation system that, when launched out of a hatch in the side of the supertanker, discards its car shell exterior and transforms into a motorboat. A Liparus guard pilots Karl Stromberg (with Anya Amisova as a prisoner) from the supertanker at sea to the Atlantis laboratory. It is seen both as a full-sized prop and as a model on a miniature set. | ||
Intermarine Cigarette 37 | Stromberg Shipping Lines | A power boat that transports James Bond and Anya Amasova from the Hotel Cala di Volpe to the Atlantis base of Karl Stromberg. | ||
Nuclear Ballistic Missile Submarine HMS Ranger | Royal Navy | A fictional ballistic missile submarine of the nuclear powered Resolution Class. The four real life members of the Resolution Class (Resolution, Repulse, Renown, and Revenge) were part of the UK Polaris Programme, which served as the British Navy's main nuclear deterrent force from 1968 to 1996. They carry 16 UGM-27 Polaris A-3 SLBM missiles and feature 6 Tigerfish torpedo tubes. In the movie, HMS Ranger, captained by Commander Talbot, is seen in the opening action sequence, where she is lost under mysterious circumstances. As such, the rest of the plot revolves around Agent 007's search for this missing submarine (together with Soviet Agent XXX's search for a missing Soviet sub). She appears again as a captive submarine, rechristened Stromberg 2 (though external shots seem to show her as Stromberg 1) aboard the supertanker Liparus, where she is re-crewed with Stromberg sailors and deployed at sea to launch a nuclear missile at Moscow in the film's climax. This is part of a plan intended to provoke WWIII between the United States and The Soviet Union, in order to wipe out all surface civilization, so that a Utopian civilization beneath the sea can be built anew by the super-villain, Karl Stromberg. She is destroyed by nuclear warhead, when Bond tricks the Captains of Stromberg 1 and Stromberg 2 to target each other with their missile fire. This submarine is represented by a 2/3 scale prop on a full-sized set in some scenes and by a smaller model on a miniature set in other scenes. | ||
Nuclear Ballistic Missile Submarine Potemkin | Soviet Navy | A fictional ballistic missile submarine of the nuclear powered Yankee Class, bearing the name of a famous Russian battleship that experienced a mutiny in 1905. The 34 real-life members of the Yankee Class served as the Soviet Navy's main nuclear deterrent force from 1967 to 1995. They carry 16 SLBM missiles and 4 torpedo tubes. In the movie dialogue, Potemkin is described as being lost under mysterious circumstances. As such, the rest of the plot revolves around Soviet Agent XXX's search for this missing submarine (together with 007's search for a missing British sub). It appears again as a captive submarine, rechristened Stromberg 1 (though external shots seem to show it as Stromberg 2) aboard the supertanker Liparus, where it is re-crewed with Stromberg sailors and deployed at sea to launch a nuclear missile at Washington DC in the film's climax. This is part of a plan intended to provoke WWIII between the United States and The Soviet Union, in order to wipe out all surface civilization, so that a Utopian civilization beneath the sea can be built anew by the super-villain, Karl Stromberg. It is destroyed by nuclear warhead, when Bond tricks the Captains of Stromberg 1 and Stromberg 2 to target each other with their missile fire. This submarine is represented by a 2/3 scale prop on a full-sized set in some scenes and by a smaller model on a miniature set in other scenes. | ||
Porpoise or Oboron Class Attack Submarine | Royal Navy | A conventional diesel/electric attack submarine of the British Royal Navy. Originally classified as patrol submarines and later as attack submarines, these two nearly identical types served concurrently from 1956 to 1990, throughout most of the cold war. At least one Oberon Class boat also served in the Falklands war. They were also used by Australia, Canada, Brazil and Chile. One of these submarines (with crewmen assembled on her deck) can be conspicuously seen in the background, pacing Bond and the Defense Minister as they walk along the pier at Faslane Naval Base in Scotland. Another similar vessel is visible moored to the pier. | ||
HMS Fearless | Royal Navy | A Royal Navy warship that serves as M's base of operations at sea. It captured the escape pod with Bond and Amasova aboard at the climax of the film. | ||

HMS Chester | Royal Navy | The Royal Navy warship seen in the pre-titles sequence, responsible for destroying a terrorist arms market on the Russian border, on the orders of Rear Admiral Benson. | ||
The World Is Not Enough | Q's retirement recreational boat | Q | Weapons systems: At least 2 torpedoes and grenade launcher.
Bond fires 2 torpedoes at an assassin's boat, destroying it. Part of the Ian Fleming Foundation collection in Florida. The boat has a single jet engine to assist in propulsion. | |
Sunseeker Superhawk 34 | Bond, in his Q-boat, chases the Sunseeker that is being piloted down the River Thames by assassin Giulietta da Vinci. | |||
Unidentified Russian Victor III class submarine | Russian Navy | Used as an integral part of the villains' scheme to cripple the global oil market. By inserting weapons-grade plutonium into the reactor, the submarine would effectively become a floating nuclear bomb, which would then be detonated in the middle of the Bosphorus. | ||

No Time to Die | Spirit 46 | Used as Bond's personal sailboat in Jamaica. Later used once more to go to Cuba to investigate a SPECTRE meeting. | ||
Blue Angel fishing boat | This boat is used by Felix Leiter as a rendezvous point so Bond can enter it and interrogate Vladvo Obruchev for information. The boat is later blown up by Logan Ash when he reveals himself as a double agent working for Safin. The name of the boat is never revealed in the movie. | |||
Unnamed Container Ship | CMA CGM | Used to rescue James Bond at sea after being betrayed by Logan Ash. | ||
Unidentified patrol vessells | Shown heading to Safin's base to retrieve Heracles from it. | |||

Spacecraft and space weapons[]
Film | Vehicle | Owner | Notes |
---|---|---|---|
Dr. No | Mercury-Redstone Launch Vehicle and lunar Mercury capsule | NASA | Likely operated by an unknown NASA astronaut (the eventual manning of the mission is not discussed) for a lunar orbit spaceflight. Dr. No's goal is to sabotage the launch, causing the mission's failure and eventually the death of the astronaut, assuming there was one.
Actually, the rocket sequence was the video of a Titan ICBM test, not a Mercury launch. |
You Only Live Twice | Gemini Jupiter 16 capsule | NASA/McDonnell Aircraft | During its fourth orbit's spacewalk by the astronaut Chris, is captured by SPECTRE's Bird One. Chris is killed and the other astronaut is imprisoned in SPECTRE's Japanese base. |
Bird One | SPECTRE/Ernst Stavro Blofeld | Used by SPECTRE cosmonauts to capture NASA and Soviet capsules after launches in a crater in Japan. It is probably inspired by the Augmented Target Docking Adapter, nicknamed "the angry alligator". Bond uses a self-destruct button in Blofeld's lair to destroy the Bird One spacecraft. | |
Soviet capsule | Soviet space program | Also captured by Bird One, is a fictional Soviet spacecraft. Its launch sequence is really the launch of a Project Mercury mission. | |
Gemini Jupiter ? capsule | NASA/McDonnell Aircraft | Another Gemini capsule, used in a mission during an attempt of capture by the Bird One. After the Bird One (disguised as a Soviet spacecraft) explodes as Bond used the SPECTRE computing devices, the capsule successfully reenters in Earth's atmosphere. | |
Diamonds Are Forever | Willard Whyte's rocket and Blofeld's satellite | Willard Whyte and SPECTRE/Ernst Stavro Blofeld | Used after a large diamond smuggling, the satellite is built with diamonds and it can project a powerful laser on nuclear submarines, nuclear missiles silos. |
Moonraker | Moonraker 1, Moonraker 2, Moonraker 3, Moonraker 4, Moonraker 6 | Drax Industries/Sir Hugo Drax | Space Shuttle orbiter-like spacecraft originally built by Drax Industries for the World's space agencies, but used to transport Drax's "perfect" humans to his personal space station. One orbiter is stolen from an SCA-like Boeing 747 while en route to the United Kingdom, destroying the airplane, to replace another one which had problems, leading MI6 to investigate. |
Moonraker 5 | Drax Industries/Sir Hugo Drax | Drax's own laser-equipped spacecraft. It is stolen by Bond and Goodhead to destroy nerve gas globes. | |
Drax's space station | Drax Industries/Sir Hugo Drax | Huge stealth spacecraft used by Drax in his plan. It is full of nerve gas globes that should kill "unperfect" humans. | |
Marines's shuttles | USMC | Used during the Marines's attack to the station, they transport soldiers with laser rifles. | |
GoldenEye | Petya and Misha | Soviet Armed Forces/Russian Space Forces | Two Cold War GoldenEye satellite nuclear weapons (used to generate electromagnetic pulses by exploding in orbit) stolen by Russian General Ouromov and the Janus syndacate. |
Tomorrow Never Dies | CMGN satellite | Carver Media Group Network | Satellite used by CMGN programmers to launch their new specifically defective software and used by Henri Gupta to hack for Elliot Carver. |
Die Another Day | Icarus | Colonel Tan-Sun Moon/Gustav Graves and some Korean People's Army Generals | Avowedly a mirror to reflect sunlight, it is actually a huge and powerful sun gun-like satellite which can be programmed to individuate and follow heat sources. Graves plans to use Icarus for a Korean invasion of East Asia. |
Vehicles in books[]
This list includes all types of vehicles.
Title | Vehicle | Owner | Notes |
---|---|---|---|
Casino Royale | Bentley 4½ Litre | James Bond | Fleming does not say what year the car is, although he describes it as "one of the last 4½-litre Bentleys with the supercharger by Amherst Villiers." James Bond bought the car "almost new in 1933 and had kept it in careful storage through the war." Near the end of the novel he crashes it in France. |
Citroën | Le Chiffre | Le Chiffre kidnaps Vesper Lynd from the casino in this car. Fleming describes it as a "beetle-browed Citroën" and later describes its "front-wheel drive and low chassis." This description likely makes it a Traction Avant model. | |
Live and Let Die | Boeing 377 Stratocruiser | BOAC | 007 takes Stratocruiser on his journeys to America. |
Buick limousine | United States Government | After his arrival at Idlewild Airport, Halloran picks Bond up in a black Buick limousine. | |
1933 Bentley 4½ Litre | James Bond | This is Bond's personal car, which he presumably had repaired after the accident in France. Bond drives this from his flat to his Regent's Park office. Unlike in Casino Royale, Fleming lists the car's year explicitly. | |
Silver Phantom | Seaboard Air Line Railroad | Bond and Solitaire take this train from Pennsylvania Station and get off at Jacksonville. This name represents the real Silver Star. | |
Silver Meteor | Seaboard Air Line Railroad | After detraining at Jacksonville from the Silver Phantom, Bond and Solitaire take the sister train the rest of the trip. Unlike the Silver Phantom, which was a name Fleming conceived, the Meteor was a real train. Bond takes this train again in Goldfinger. | |
Cord Model 812 | Felix Leiter | Bond takes the car from Felix Leiter after he is injured and drives it down to the docks to get into the wild shootout with the Robber. Bond notes that the car was "fifteen years old, he reflected, yet still one of the most modern-looking cars in the world." Assuming the book takes place in 1952, this would make the car a 1937. | |
Secatur | Mr Big | Luxurious black yacht with grey superstructure built in 1947 for a certain millionaire, later acquired by Mr Big who uses it for smuggling gold coins from Jamaica to the USA. 70 foot (21 m) long, powered by twin General Motor Diesels and capable of doing 20 knots. Bond destroys it with the limpet mine killing everyone aboard including Mr Big in the novel's climax. | |
Sunbeam-Talbot 90 Coupe | John Strangways | Commander Strangways gives this car to Bond. | |
Moonraker | 1930 Bentley 4½ Litre | James Bond | This is James Bond's same car from Casino Royale, although the year has changed from 1933 to 1930. It is unclear whether this was Fleming's intention or was written in err. After Bond crashes it near the end of the novel, he says that it has "gone to its grave in a Maidstone garage." |
Moonraker | Sir Hugo Drax | A prototype nuclear intercontinental ballistic missile used for an attempt of destruction of London. | |
Mercedes-Benz 300S | Hugo Drax | Used in car chase to Dover | |
Alfa Romeo Supercharged Straight-8 | RAF officer | Passes Bond during the car chase with Drax. Bond guesses the car is a 1932 or 1933, and says the owner is probably a "hot-rod type from one of the RAF stations round here." Drax pushes the car off the road, killing the driver. | |
AEC Mammoth Major newsprint lorry | Bowater | In the A20 car chase, Hugo Drax pulls his Mercedes-Benz 300S alongside this lorry. Krebs climbs onto it and cuts the ties securing the rolls of newsprint. They roll into the road, causing Bond to crash his 4½-Litre Bentley and thus ending the chase. | |
Bentley Mark VI | James Bond | Made in 1953, Bond purchases his second Bentley towards the end of the novel, Moonraker. Like his previous Bentley, the Mark VI is grey with dark blue leather upholstery. After Moonraker this model is never mentioned again. Fleming describes it as having and "open touring body." Bentley built the last Mark IVs in 1952, which makes Fleming's choice of 1953 ambiguous. Either he gave this year mistakenly or possibly referred to the car's coachwork, which could have been built that year. | |
Diamonds Are Forever | Studillac | Felix Leiter | A custom black Studebaker convertible with a Cadillac engine, plus special transmission, brakes and rear axle, owned by Felix Leiter in the novel Diamonds Are Forever. The combination of the aerodynamic Raymond Loewy-designed body with the powerful Cadillac engine made it into a remarkable sports car. Studillacs were not fictional, but actually built by a Long Island, NY company called Bill Frick Motors from 1953 Studebaker Starlight bodies. |
Lockheed G Super Constellation | TWA | This is the plane that takes Bond and Tiffany from LA via Chicago to NYC | |
RMS Queen Elizabeth | Cunard Line | Liner that takes Bond and Tiffany across the Atlantic | |
English Electric Canberra | RAF | This is the plane that takes Bond to Sierra Leone | |
From Russia, With Love | Ilyushin Il-12 | N/A | This is the plane that takes Red Grant from Crimea to Moscow |
Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost | Kerim Bey | Bond is picked up with this car at Yesilkoy airport. Fleming describes the car as "an old black basketwork Rolls-Royce coupé-de-ville that Bond guessed must have been built for some millionaire of the '20s." | |
Vickers Viscount | British European Airways | Bond's takes the "10.30 BEA Flight 130 to Rome, Athens and Istanbul." | |
Orient Express | Compagnie Internationale des Wagons-Lits | ||
Dr No | Rolls-Royce Silver Wraith | M | Drives M to MI6 headquarters. Described as "the old black Silver Wraith Rolls with the nondescript number-plate." |
Lockheed L-1049 Super Constellation | N/A | This is the plane that takes Bond to Jamaica | |
The "Dragon" | Dr No | Dr No describes the vehicle as a "marsh buggy–the vehicle that is used for oil prospecting." Bond says that the wheels "with their vast smooth rubber tyres, were nearly twice as tall as himself," and "a long metal dragon's head had been added to the front of the radiator and the headlamps had been given black centres to make 'eyes'. That was all there was to it, except that the cabin had been covered with an armoured dome and the flame-thrower added." | |
Goldfinger | Aston Martin DB Mark III | MI6 | |
Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost | Auric Goldfinger | Goldfinger uses it to smuggle gold. | |
Triumph TR3 | Tilly Masterton | Masterton uses it to pursue Goldfinger across France. Bond later rams this car with his Aston Martin. | |
Bristol Freighter | N/A | Transports Goldfinger's Rolls-Royce to France | |
Beechcraft Model 18 | Goldfinger | Goldfinger uses this plane for air surveillance of Fort Knox | |
