Restoring the James Bond Vehicles with the Ian Fleming Foundation

Restoring the James Bond Vehicles with the Ian Fleming Foundation

What would it be like to help work on and restore the actual James Bond vehicles used in the movies long before they go the public exhibits and shows, like Bond in Motion? Well, we were invited to a work weekend to do exactly that!

THE WEEKEND

Dan and Tom recently were privileged to attend the Ian Fleming Foundation work weekend. This is one of the times that the Foundation spends working on its inventory, restoring the vehicles, and having a great time telling James Bond stories. It was a blast!

We'll take you backstage and let you hear about how they get these vehicles and what they have to do to restore them so we can all see them in exhibits like Bond in Motion.

THE JAMES BOND VEHICLES

One of the vehicles we discuss is Goldfinger's plane. This is a huge and fascinating restoration job.
Steve Targosz discusses this massive project. Another one was one of the Kenworth trucks from LICENCE TO KILL. Colin Clark walks us through this one. These are two that they are still restoring so you wouldn't have seen them in a museum yet.

But, we also saw some vehicles that have been restored that we saw. Leonard Johnson discusses getting
and restoring the fire engine from A VIEW TO A KILL. Colin Clark walks us through getting the plane Sanchez escapes in from LICENCE TO KILL and what shape it is in.

Plus, we talk about, Zao's green Jaguar from DIE ANOTHER DAY, the helicopter from FROM RUSSIA WITH
LOVE, and lots more!

We've included audio clips in this episode from the people who make this happen.

GOING FORWARD

We will be releasing a video version of this episode on our YouTube Channel, Cracking the Code of Spy
Movies on June 30, 2023, so you see the videos and vehicles.

Spy Movie Navigator visits GOLDFINGER Filming Locations in Miami Florida (USA)

SpyMovieNavigator took a trip to Florida in the USA to visit filming location sites for Goldfinger (Miami) and for Licence to Kill (in Key West Florida). Here in part one, we look at the Fontainebleau Resort where Bond is vacationing after a mission, Oddjobs route to the "airport" with Mr. Solo, Felix Leiter and Simmons waiting location at a KFC, and finally the iron and metal yard where Mr. Solo meets his "pressing engagement." On this trip we visited about 17 James Bond filming locations, and we talk about the excitement of the trip and cut to podcast clips we recorded on location. Fun trip and some beautiful spots! In this first part of our two part podcast, we cover Goldfinger in Miami. In part two we cover Licence to Kill locations in Key West, Fl. Join us!

James Bond is to Spies What Sherlock Holmes is to Detectives!

James Bond is to Spies What Sherlock Holmes is to Detectives!

Sherlock Bond? James Holmes? James Bond is to spies what Sherlock Holmes is to detectives! Let's journey into this dark London world together and see what clues we can find! Today, we're going to do some sleuthing around London – well, metaphorically that is! Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Ian Fleming created some of the best known literary characters this world has ever known. Both Sherlock Holmes and James Bond made the leap from the pages of novels and short stories to the big screen – and nothing has been the same ever since. All Podcasts: https://bit.ly/3dF9ueE

MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE - Is It Impossible To Bring A Successful TV Show to Film?  Mission Impossible Does it!

MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE - Is It Impossible To Bring A Successful TV Show to Film? Mission Impossible Does it!

Is it an Impossible task to bring a successful tv show to film? Come with us as we dissect the first Mission: Impossible movie! For the most part, Spy Movies have had their origin from books: James Bond, Bourne Identity, Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan stories, John Le Carre's books, etc. However, in 1996, Paramount Pictures and Cruise/Wagner Productions, released the first film of the Mission: Impossible series, based on the TV show. Other spy-based tv shows wouldn't get their US big-screen debuts until years later (namely I Spy in 2002 and Get Smart in 2008, even the Man From Uncle in 2013). All Podcasts: https://bit.ly/3dF9ueE

Why Dr. No is Dr. YES for Spy Movie Fans

Why Dr. No is Dr. YES for Spy Movie Fans

Dr. No, EON Productions first James Bond film based on Ian Fleming's sixth James Bond 007 novel gets a big YES from movie-goers at the time of release in 1962, even more so now, and has been a staple of Bond films ever since. Dr. No is Dr. Yes for spy movie fans, and new spy movie fans who are focused on Bourne and Mission: Impossible and more recent Bond films with Pierce Brosnan and Daniel Craig, would enjoy going back to the first James Bond film, Dr. No, to which, we think, they will also say Yes! We look at historical events going on at the time, and how the real world events fueled interest in the movie!
