James Bond: Casino Royale

I finally got around to seeing the latest Bond flick, Casino Royale. As many people know there has always been a strong relationship between car lovers and James Bond. It seems that in each movie he has a cool new ride full of gadgets and inevitably gets involved in a car chase and thrashes his vehicle to the point of destruction right in front of our faces. So I had very high hopes for Daniel Craig–the new Bond–and his Aston Martin DBS.

James Bond’s new Aston Martin DBS
Well I’m happy to say that movie itself was awesome. A good plot, an incredible opening action sequence, excellent scenery and Daniel Craig is “hella bad ass” to quote a friend. But from a car lover’s perspective the film was a bit of a let down. Early on in the movie Bond wins a silver Aston Martin DB5 from one of his enemies, a clear nod to the days of Sean Connery and Goldfinger. I anxiously awaited the ensuing chase scene but it never came. Not only that, but the car was a left-hand drive model. No Bond that I know would ever drive on the left hand side of a vintage Aston.

Sean Connery and his right-hand drive DB5 in Gold Finger.

As the movie rolled on and the action picked up we got our first peek at Bond’s new DBS. A beautiful car, perfect for the film, the DBS embodies everything that James Bond stands for–mainly danger and sex. But within moments of seeing the car Bond chases after the girl and promptly puts the DBS up on its roof. The stunt itself looks great, but I was a little said to see the noble car crash out so quickly. Maybe the British double O’s have a really good body fender guy and it will be back for the next movie.

So just some fair warning, if your looking for car chases just go rent Ronin, but if you want to see a great spy movie Casino Royale fits the bill just fine.

You get riled when a cool car is destroyed in a straight-to-video movie. You realize when a new car doesn't deserve it's name of a great car of the past. When you see someone driving a boring vehicle, you feel sorry for them. You know it's not the destination that counts - it's the journey. Welcome home gearheads. Welcome home, car freaks.
