G-MANN ◊ 2008-09-03 00:18	After its starring role in Goldfinger, James Bond's Aston Martin DB5 returns in Thunderball. It doesn't play quite as a big role this time but it is used in the pre-credits action sequence. After Bond lands his jetpack ("No well-dressed man should be without one") he finds that the thugs are still after him... So he gets into the Aston and raises the bulletproof shield (seen in previously in Goldfinger)... And activates a new gadget, water cannons in the exhaust pipes spray powerful jets of water, mowing the bad guys down! It appears again in a later scene when Bond finds himself being pursued by a Ford Fairlane, but before he needs to use any more gadgets, a mysterious motorcyclist destroys the car with rockets. The instrument panel built into the front armrest (looks slightly different to the way it looked in Goldfinger): -- Last edit: 2008-09-03 01:55:17
