James Bond Seems Pissed And The DB5 Has Gatling Guns In The First Trailer For No Time To Die

007 Aston Martin Jalopnik James Bond Movies No Time To Die

Daniel Craig is back for one last mission, and his James Bond seems mad as hell in the first trailer for No Time To Die . Blofeld is back, the V8 Vantage is back, and the DB5 is spewing bullets out of its headlights.

No Time To Die seems to pickup where 2015’s Spectre left off. Blofeld is in MI6 custody, but Bond and his love Madeleine Swann, played by Lea Seydoux, seem to have...

So they are repeating the whole “we all thought you were dead for the last three years!!!1 !!!11!1111!!1! ” thing and they are bringing back the DB5 for fan service? This is literally a remake of S kyfall.

Justin T. Westbrook Dec 04, 2019 at 22:24

I think they came up with half a good idea for Skyfall and have been trying to get it right? For three movies? Kinda strange. But I will watch it regardless for the actiony bits.

BunkyTheMelon Dec 04, 2019 at 22:24

Relax, eat some popcorn, and enjoy the flick. Bond movies aren’t meant to be cinematic masterpieces.

The Amazing Motorcycle Stunt From The No Time To Die Teaser Was Unbelievably Done For Real

Jalopnik James Bond lanesplitter Motorcycles Movies No Time To Die Stunts

The first trailer for the upcoming James Bond movie, No Time To Die, will be released Wednesday morning, but the little 15-second teaser reel that came out last night already features one incredible motorcycle stunt that was mostly done for real.

No Time To Die is the fifth and supposedly final James Bond movie for Bond actor Daniel Craig. It also happens to feature more notable vehicles than...

The New Land Rover Defender Looks Slick As Hell In The Next Bond Movie

2020 Land Rover Defender Jalopnik James Bond Land Rover land rover defender Movies No Time To Die

There’s an ungodly amount of vehicles in the upcoming James Bond movie, No Time To Die, but out of all of them it seems like the new 2020 Land Rover Defender is going to get the most action.

We’re finally starting to get some teases for the new Bond movie, and the latest is a clip of the stunt team hyping up the new Defender in its big-screen debut:

The picture car appears to be a Defender...

Alex Leeks Nov 14, 2019

It’s not as villainous looking as the modified 110s that the bad guys in Spectre used, but considering that they are basically normal Defenders but black, damn they look quite evil. Cue the Internet telling me why I’m wrong and, despite most people on here being American and actually never living with the old one, why this new Defender isn’t a proper Defender because they don’t like the way it looks or whatever and it’s basically a Freelander at this point because that is totally an original and interesting point that is totally not overstated by people who frankly wouldn’t actually want the old Defender if they drove one. Or lived with one. Or nearly bought one then decided, no, it’s good looking and great off-road and as a tractor, but a really shit car for actually using as a car. But what the fuck do I know. I’m clearly wrong because I like it? Because the old Defender is this weird thing, which despite it huge flaws and awful build quality, safety, efficiency and overall complete lack of on road usability or comfort, is something that shouldn’t of been improved on. Because 16,000 units a year is really good, isn’t it. But again, I’m wrong because I like both the new one and the old one and the Internet has decided to hate the new one.

skeffles Nov 14, 2019

If they wanted the new car to be accepted, they should have either gone body on frame, or had a front end that looked visually distinctive from the rest of the soccer mom squad. And made it so you can stand on the hood and wings.

The way they’ve done it means that you can’t fix it with aftermarket parts, and you can’t use it even slightly roughly.

Alex Leeks Nov 14, 2019

And you know this how? It isn’t even out yet, no one knows what it can and can’t do. Plus this who “body on frame stuff is tough” shit is overplayed. I mean body on frame cars are safer right? That’s why the Wrangler has a higher safety rating. Oh wait. Also the old Defender couldn’t deal with as much weight. Explain that one away.

Some Great Old-School Aston Martins Will Be In The Next Bond Film

Aston Martin Aston Martin Valhalla Jalopnik James Bond

This week on Twitter, extremely English automotive brand Aston Martin confirmed that four of its cars, two modern and two plucked out of history, would be featured in the upcoming Jim Bond film No Time To Die. In case you’ve never seen a feature-length film with this Bond fellow, you might be surprised to learn that this is the 25th such in the franchise, many of which feature at least one...

Counterpoint: The Living Daylights is easily a Top Ten Bond Film and has one of the best Bond soundtracks ever!

My Bond Top-5 :

1. From Russia With Love

2. Casino Royale (Yes, it‘s that good. Fight me!)

3. On Her Majestys Secret Service (if it weren‘t for Lazenby, OHMSS would be the best Bond Film of all time.)

4. Thunderball

5. GoldenEye

Noble Destro Oct 09, 2019

It’s in my top 10

1. Casino Royale

2. On Her Majesty’s Secret Service

3. From Russia With Love

4. The Spy Who Loved Me

5. Quantum of Solace

6. Goldeneye

7. Goldfinger

8. The Living Daylights

9. Skyfall

10. Licence to Kill

I love you but I've chosen hooning! Oct 09, 2019

Very balsy! I have a very hard time placing Goldfinger - great Bond, great soundtrack and great villain. I just don‘t dig the whole Fort Knox plan.

AuthiCooper1300 Oct 09, 2019

The 1980s-era Aston V8 Vantage, perhaps the greatest Aston of all time,

Really? Aha.

I always understood the V8 to be a blip on the scale: it did last f o r a v e r y long time, but it’s a big brutish bruiser and rather out of character with what Aston used to mean.

The wedgey V8 Vantage featured the most 1980s styling of all Astons (bar the incredible Lagonda sedan)

w e d g e y ???

The V8 a p p e a r e d i n 1 9 6 9 – a n d was i n f a c t a facelifted DB S , w h i c h c a m e u n t o t h i s world e v e n earlier, in 1 9 6 7 A D .

The V8 Vantage is from 1 9 7 7 .

And the o utla n d i s h modern-era Lagonda (n o t the extremely rare first version from 1974 : a sort of four-door V8) went into production a l s o in 1977 .

So much for 80s s t y l i n g .

Melvintrude Oct 09, 2019

A subtle resto- mod DBS V8 would be my dream Aston

Halfty Oct 09, 2019

The V8 [Vantage] is also a complete ripoff of the original Mustang styling/American muscle cars in general, which no one would describe as “80s”. That entire sentence made me question whether Bradley knows what the V8 Vantage is and/or what 80s styling is. Perhaps he was confusing it with the Lotus Esprit from The Spy Who Loved Me?

Enginerrrrrrrrr Jun 18, 2019

I hope they branch out a bit. Sorta like how Daniel Craig wasn’t super well known before him becoming Bond. I only remember him in Layer Cake and Lara Croft: Tomb R aider.

Would be cool to see something similar where a not-well-known actor with some decent chops is picked up.

Or... it would be cool to see someone who isn’t white as well. Personally, Idris Elba seems a bit old to do at least a trilogy. Maybe Chadwick Boseman or Will Yun Lee or something. Someone like that.

token_liberal Jun 18, 2019

To me Bond should drive a gentleman’s sports car not some hypercar . In the books it was a Bentley and in the movies it was most famously a DB5. A hypercar like this just isn’t Bond.

ＡＥＳＴＨＥＴＩＣ Jun 19, 2019

Yeah, this would stick out like a sore thumb anywhere he drove it. It would make his secret agentness not so secretive.

blasds78 Jun 19, 2019

This is one of the better aspects about the Bourne series and, to a lesser extent, Craig’s version of a conflicted Bond . There wasn’t any of the pretentious stuff like flashy cars (in the Bourne series) or misogynistic crap (Bond) that became synonymous with Bond.

How Movie Magic Made the Aston Martin Goldfinger DB5 Continuation’s Bond Gadgets a Reality

For some, the Aston Martin DB5 is the single coolest car to have ever put rubber to tarmac. Made famous by Sean Connery’s portrayal of James Bond, the DB5 has indelible link with Ian Fleming’s super smooth spy. And it’s one of the more famous examples of “cars with gadgets” thanks to Goldfinger, where it offered neat ways to dispatch henchmen on a mission to off him on the fly. Now some of...

Plus he’s probably making a shit ton of money.

Kevin K Feb 16, 2018 This^ Making a blockbuster movie is great for your bank account. But a films like a Bond film put a lot of physical and emotional stress on the lead and can lead to bad emotions. You need to take a few months after to get their real emotions. Also a garbage truck full of cash like Craig is getting for the next film makes a big difference.

Hu-Man Feb 16, 2018 A lot of people would disagree, but I’ve really enjoyed Craig as 007. He deserves all the monies and the cars.

FirstOner Feb 17, 2018 I’m just curious: If I buy that Aston Martin, will it make me look like this? Because there’s only one Aston Martin that I’d like to buy... and of course there is only one James Bond as well.

NebraskaStig Feb 17, 2018 Unpopular opinion, this is the correct “Aston” for Bond (when not in England)

FirstOner Feb 17, 2018 Sorry, but no. The real James Bond is the one described by his creator Jan Fleming, and perfectly acted by the great Sean Connery. In Jan Fleming’s books, James Bond owns as his first daily driver a 1933 4½ Litre Bentley ‘Blower’, that he keeps downstairs “not to break a nail on a garage door”. Unfortunately this car is written off chasing Drax in “Moonraker”. Bond then replaces it with a 1953 Bentley Mark V1 by the end of the book. In the “Thunderball” story, Bond is driving a Mark II Continental (1952-55). The Mark II Continental was James Bond’s most loved car. From the book: Bond had the most selfish car in England. It was a Mark II Continental Bentley that some rich idiot had married to a telegraph pole on the Great West Road. Bond had bought the bits for £1,500 and Rolls had straightened the bend in the chassis and fitted new clockwork—the Mark IV engine with 9.5 compression. Then Bond had gone to Mulliners with £3,000, which was half his total capital, and they had sawn off the old cramped sports saloon body and had fitted a trim, rather square convertible two-seater affair, power-operated, with only two large armed bucket seats in black leather. The rest of the blunt end was all knife-edged, rather ugly, boot. The car was painted in rough, not gloss, battleship grey and the upholstery was black morocco. She went like a bird and a bomb and Bond loved her more than all the women at present in his life rolled, if that were feasible, together” The Aston Martin is given to him by Q in “Goldfinger” and is a Her Majesty’s property, that he uses for work and is allowed to take home.

Why The New Aston Martin Looks Just Like The Old James Bond Movie Car

2018 Aston Martin Vantage Aston Martin James Bond

James Bond movies haven’t been very memorable since Austin Powers forced the franchise to evolve into generic action flicks, but I bet you remembered the Aston Martin DB10 from Spectre when you saw today’s new Vantage unveiling.

It’s beenknown for some time that the Vantage was inspired by the made-only-for-the-movie DB10, but, actually, it was the other way around.

As originally reported...

Just Cars for Joe Bryant Nov 22, 2017 “James Bond movies haven’t been very memorable since Austin Powers forced the franchise to evolve into generic action flicks.” Soon after this was published at Jalopnik HQ:

cream wobbly Nov 22, 2017 The best Bond movie by far is the Bourne Legacy because it doesn’t have Bond or Bourne in it. It has Hawkeye. Fucking-A

TheDriveress Nov 22, 2017 Nailed it!

themousethatroared Nov 22, 2017 Dear Lotus: Failure to maintain your exclusive product placement in the Bond Films was probably the biggest mistake you ever made. Sincerely, Mr. Obvious

GDSmith Nov 22, 2017 Were you recently discharged from the military? Because I recall when you were Capt. Obvious. How’s civilian life treating you?

Kevin K Nov 22, 2017 He was discharged for claiming to be a Navy Captain when in actuality he was a Captain in the Air Force. Tried to defraud the government for that O-6 pay.

The Ten Greatest James Bond Movie Cars That Weren't Aston Martins

Answers of the Day AOTD James Bond Movie Cars Spy Cars

Aston Martins are machines of power, beauty and soul, or at least that’s what the little screen in the gauge cluster says. They’ve been the go-to spy vehicle for Hollywood’s favorite MI6 agent, James Bond. But what about those times when Bond didn’t choose one of Britain’s best?

The AMC Hornet is remembered for the insane jump that James Bond performed while at the helm. It...

FromCanadaWithLove Aug 26, 2015 It is an Aston Martin, but Bond’s mk1 DBS from OHMSS is underrated. Such a cool car.

Drakkon- turns out his Hoover Flags Aug 26, 2015 Sounds like a muscle car, too. That Cougar got nuthin’ on the pipes. And I love Cougars.

Mark Jacob Aug 26, 2015 HHHNNNNNNRRRRRGGHGHHHGHH I never really realized how amazing those are. Thank you for sharing.
