Exploding Lipstick

Helga Brandt, one of our favorite Bond girls, is a deadly vixen indeed, with lipstick that doubled as an explosive. In 1967's You Only Live Twice, Sean Connery is fooled when the device detonates in a plane cabin and Helga parachutes away to safety.

@quickquest88 You're right! My mistake. I was confused with, er, the "real life" invisible car: http://mashable.com/2012/03/03/invisible-mercedes/ :)

My favorite Bond gadget was the wrist devices that Roger Moore wore in Moonraker. Though I believe it is 2 separate devices, to be fair. First, a wrist watch that is armed with a laser and armed with C4 plastic explosives. Both came in handy as he escapes a fiery death-by-space-shuttle. The other device he wears in the film is the infamous and totally impractical wrist dart gun. Triggered by nerve impulses, that would seemingly cause many accidents, it fires either armor piercing or cyanide coated darts. The cyanide darts cause death in 30 seconds. He ends up using both darts in two separate life saving scenarios and are the height of the Roger Moore disco-era camp that made the Moore Bond films so much fun to watch. Glamorized self-destructive habits, non-stop romps in the sack and ridiculous gadgets with a deadly punch, all served up with a corny one-liner that caps off the trail of dead henchmen that 007 leaves in his wake. After all, what good is a license to kill if you don't use it?

pierce brosnan's car in "die another day" was an Aston Martin Vanquish. Q made a joke and called it the "vanish."
