āBond, James Bondā Sean Connery purred in his smooth Shhcottish tones, and with those three words the legend began.

Now, eight Aston Martin DB5s, 79 Bond āgirlsā, and more than 100 villains later, weāre still buzzing about which actor will be the next 007. Hereās to you Commander Bond, and another 60 years!
25 Movies - 25 Secrets
Daniel Craig didnāt initially think heād be selected to play 007 but hoped heād be thrown a lifeline as a Bond villain.

In this special anniversary tribute, SPYSCAPE goes behind the scenes of all 25 movies to reveal more of Bondās ultimate secrets.

Timothy Dalton famously volunteered to do many of his own stunts, hoping to bring more of an edge to his portrayal of Bond. Dalton isnāt the only 007 to risk life and limb, however! Hereās our Top 15 countdown of the best and boldest 007 car chases, daredevil antics, and record-breaking dives.
Thereās no denying the allure of James Bondās DB5 revolving license plates, exploding pens, and Identigraph villain tracker but who can forget Bondās (Roger Mooreās) tricked-out wristwatch / rope-ripping portable buzzsaw with an electromagnetic-field generator? When it comes to gadgets, nobody does it better. SPYSCAPE ranks Bondās top tools - including some you can even buy!
On Her Majestyās Secret Service (OHMSS) was a memorable period for Bond - not only is there an avalanche of action on the slopes but Bond gets married.

James Bondās one true love has always been his Aston Martin DB5. Sure, 007 had a holiday fling with an Alpine Sunbeam in Dr. No, but we knew it wouldnāt last - it was a rental car after all. Bondās reliable Bentley never let him down, but 007 didnāt look back after Q unveiled the 1963 Silver Birch Aston Martin DB5 with āsome rather interesting modificationsā. SPYSCAPE traces the man and the machine.
