Now on view at the London Film Museum is Bond in Motion, a must-see exhibition that聽traces the history of the franchise through the many vehicles (cars, boats, motorbikes, sleds, jets, helicopter and more) that James Bond used over the years.
I鈥檓 a huge Bond fan, but I hadn鈥檛 heard about this exhibition until I spotted an ad at a tube station聽in London in August. It didn鈥檛 disappoint.
As you聽walk into the museum, you can鈥檛 miss a聽helicopter hanging from the ceiling. My first thought was that it was聽the same one from which聽Major Onatopp, one of the villains聽in GoldenEye (1995), rappelled down to聽catch聽James Bond (Pierce Brosnan) in a chokehold. But I found out that it was from Skyfall (2012).
