James Bond: Quantum of Solace

I watched James Bond: Quantum of Solace today and the movie was great. I just couldn’t resist going to the cinema to watch it. I know I’m in the middle of exams and all but who cares. Actually my dad couldn’t resist offering me to go watch it with him so blame him…haha. Really…I swear. It was too late for him to deny me the movie once I agreed. He did try. I just brought up religion…

Anyway I’m no spoiler so there won’t be any in here…just the cars. I’ve got to tell you the Brits also don’t have any problem smashing up their precious cars. I won’t mind if they crashed their American built counterparts but they left those untouched. Unfortunately they wrecked their national pride and the pride of James Bond. Well…actually Bond (Daniel Craig) himself wrecked it…

The name of the car he wrecked

So… right now I’m gonna right the list & pictures of precious cars which made it to the cinemas…in order of their first appearances.

The cars and other transportation devices are found in different parts of the globe starting from a small town village named Siena in Italy.

You’ll see these two almost immediately the movie starts (haha…spoiler much!)Yea…the tunnel action in the trailer…

Aston Martin DBS: The ill-fated car

Alfa Romeo 159’s

Then you’ll get to see the first appearance of the Ford Street Ka somewhere down the movie timeline.

Range Rover Sport too...(a favourite of mine) shown in the picture with the plane.

Then you’ll come across the air fight scene consisting of Douglas DC-10 and whatever the other plane was. I couldn’t identify it in the middle of the action. Oh yea, a Huey Helicopter too.

Just a bit of spoiler. I couldn’t fathom why he traded his Range Rover for the Ugly DC-3 of the 1930’s era instead of the smaller lighter more modern plane just a few meters down the runway. You’ll know when you watch it….heehee…sorry

Then a very expensive plane costing dearer than the film budget itself makes several appearances here and there…What I meant was Gulfstream G550’s…

After that you’ll see these amazing looking Ford SUV’s. Ford Edge..

So as you can see, they brought in a whole lot of car casts this time and yet they didn’t bother to crash useless American car manufacturer’s which only look good on the outside but are full of crap on the inside. Instead they prefer to give a death sentence to an awfully priceless Aston Martin. I’m ashamed of Bond. Maybe its just tradition, Bond tradition. You know, even Pierce Brosnan (former Bond) crashed his cars from BMW’s to Astons.

Somehow I think on the film maker’s minds lay a reason that they can’t make good movie’s without wrecking god damn beautiful cars to get the audiences emotions running. At least this time I wasn’t emotionally distressed since Batman came out on cinema. The people who watched that with me all consoled me… including the part where a huge pile of money was burnt. Haha.

Overall, I’d recommend it to you to watch Bond and his gals…

Just one of them

Btw, I was so spoilt for choice with the cover I decided to put all of them up…haha… and almost all of them have something in common. November 007’s the official release date…hmm… look up at today’s date…

See you in cinema's by 006 November...(only for Bruneians)
