THE JAMES BOND GYROCOPTER BY CORGI IS BEAUTIFUL

You Only Live Twice (1967) is the fifth spy film of the British James Bond series and stars Sean Connery as the fictional MI6 agent James Bond. The film's screenplay was written by Roald Dahl, and based on Ian Fleming's 1964 novel of the same name.

In the film, Bond is dispatched to Japan after American and Russian spacecraft disappear mysteriously in orbit. With each nation blaming the other amidst the Cold War, Bond travels secretly to a remote Japanese island for finding the perpetrators and comes face to face with Ernst Stavro Blofeld, the head of SPECTRE. The film reveals the appearance of Blofeld who was previously a partially unseen character.

After its release in 1967, Connery stepped down from the role, leading to the hiring of George Lazenby for 1969's On Her Majesty's Secret Service. Connery later returned officially, one last time, in Diamonds Are Forever (1971). You Only Live Twice is the first Bond film to be directed by Lewis Gilbert, who later directed 1977's The Spy Who Loved Me and 1979's Moonraker, both starring Roger Moore.


The heavily armed autogyro "Little Nellie" was included after Ken Adam heard a radio interview with its inventor, RAF Wing Commander Ken Wallis. Wallis piloted his invention, which was equipped with various mock-up armaments by John Stears' special effects team, during production. "Nellie's" battle with helicopters proved to be difficult to film. The scenes were initially shot in Miyazaki, first with takes of the gyrocopter, with more than 85 take-offs, 5 hours of flight and Wallis nearly crashing onto the camera several times. A scene filming the helicopters from above created a major updraft and cameraman John Jordan had his foot severed by the craft's rotor. Filming was interrupted. The concluding shots involved explosions, which the Japanese government did not allow in a national park. So, the crew moved to Torremolinos, Spain, which was found to resemble the Japanese landscape.


This is one of the best die cast models from Corgi of a vehicle featured in a James Bond movie. The Gyrocopter featured in YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE was a real eye opener and quite memorable. This model of it from Corgi is just fantastic. It is die cast and the brilliant paint scheme is faithful to that seen in the film. A clever addition to the Gyrocopter from You Only Live Twice. Featuring removable missiles, it’s a fun models. Buy at Amazon.com. Low Price $15.25

BMW Z8(FROM THE DEFINITIVE BOND COLLECTION)

The World Is Not Enough is a 1999 film and is the nineteenth entry in the James Bond series, and the third to star Pierce Brosnan as the fictional MI6 agent James Bond. The film was directed by Michael Apted, with the original story and screenplay written by Neal Purvis, Robert Wade and Bruce Feirstein. It was produced by Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli.

The title The World Is Not Enough traces its origins to the English translation of the Latin phrase Orbis non sufficit, revealed in the novel On Her Majesty's Secret Service and its film adaptation to be the Bond family motto. In the film, Bond is assigned to kill Renard, a terrorist who plans to James Bond BMW Z8 - The World is Not Enough. 1999 saw James Bond's 19th outing, starring Pierce Brosnan.

Although the film had a mixed critical reception, it earned over $361 million worldwide, becoming the highest grossing James Bond film at that time.



The Z8 is one of 007's lastest cars, from The World is not Enough, Like the aston featured here, it's a weighty little thing - and a really delightful casting with some nice detailing. We think its a model that stands on its own without any James Bond connection if you like BMWs, from the spoked steering wheel to the detailed dash and excellent badging. In addition, it does have a smashing secret feature - even if you do need to be 007 to work out the instructions! Hidden rockets pop out of the bonnet side air vents, operated bu cunningly concealed headrest buttons.

CORGI TOY JAMES BOND's ASTON MARTIN DB5 FROM THE FILM



One of Corgi’s best, and most famous, toys, was the James Bond’s Aston Martin. Corgi used their existing Aston Martin DB4, first produced in 1964, as the basis for the model and tired to pack in as many features and devices as possible to emulate those in the Aston Martin DB5 used in the 1964 James Bond film, “Goldfinger”.




Among the main features were: a front machine gun, rear bullet-proof shield, an operating ejector seat. Corgi engineers devised a special test rig to operate the ejector seat to ensure that it would function faultlessly. Their rest was success and the toy was launched in November 1965 and was a acclaimed as the “Toy of the Year” by the National Association of Toy Retailers.

In its original three-year production run, the James Bond Aston Martin became one of the most popular toys ever made, with nearly three million sold. Although the car is illustrated in silver on the packaging, the toy was initially painted gold in order to underline its “premium quality” status.




The rarest version of the James Bond Aston Martin is a revised 1968 model which was slightly larger and painted in silver. It also had extra features: rotating number plates and even telescopic tyre slashers. It is worth three times as much as the gold version.

JAMES BOND ASTON MARTIN DB5

How to turn a normal--if highly potent-sports car into a secret agent's specialised transport is demonstrated in James Bond's Aston Martin. The boffins in 007's department took the famous David Brown high-performance tourer and incorporated gadgets, gimmicks and death-dealing devices which enable Bond to defeat the villains of SMERSH. The most spectacular idea is the ejector seat which will, at the touch of a button, nearly and efficiently dispose of an unwelcome passenger through a trapdoor in the roof. In spite of its special equipment, however, the Aston remains a normal car in outward appearance.

JAMES BOND LOTUS ESPRIT OUTSTANDING CAR FROM CORGI

The James Bond Lotus Esprit by Corgi is an outstanding car. As seen in THE SPY WHO LOVED ME, this car stands as on of the most innovative vehicles since the Aston Martin DB5. This is one of the classic James Bond cars of the cinema.


The Spy Who Loved Me, released in 1977, is the 10th film in the James Bond series and the third to star Roger Moore as MI6 agent James Bond. It was directed by Lewis Gilbert and the screenplay was written by Christopher Wood and Richard Maibaum. The film takes its title from the tenth novel in Ian Fleming's James Bond series. Following a request by Ian Fleming when he sold the rights to the series that only the title of the novel be used, it is the first Bond film to be written with a wholly original plot line in its screenplay. The storyline involves a reclusive megalomaniac named Stromberg who plans to destroy the world and create a new civilization under the sea. Bond teams up with a Russian agent Anya Amasova to stop Stromberg.

Throughout the James Bond series of films Q Branch has given Bond a wide variety of vehicles with which to battle his enemies. Among the most noteworthy gadgets Bond has been equipped with have been various vehicles that have numerous modifications to include weapons systems, anti-pursuit systems, alternate transportation modes, and various other functions.

This is actual white Esprit S1 used in the famous chase sequence in The Spy Who Loved Me. It evades the lovely Caroline Munro in her helicopter by driving off a pier and then converting into a submarine, complete with mines and rockets to get rid of any unwanted attention. This is a very early car and was purchased directly from Lotus Cars in 1998

The Lotus Esprit and its underwater exploits are second only to the DB5 in the Bond car hall of fame. To escape a rocket-equipped helicopter Bond (now played for laughs by the bouffant-ed Roger Moore) drives the Esprit off a pier into the sea, where it transforms into a submarine at the flick of a switch and blows up the helicopter with its own rockets. More underwater action ensues, until Bond emerges victorious on a beach full of holidaymakers. Six cars were used to film this sequence, one of which was a working submarine with two divers
