Watching this at the Cinema as a 10 year old Boy in 1978 I thought that Car was the most amazing thing I had ever seen. And when it was driven out of the Sea, I nearly passed out. Brilliant.
I preferred the more "down to earth" Bond Roger Moore films like Octopussy and For Your Eyes Only. But this one is his best "taking down the evil organization in some obscure and distant base of operations" bond film.
@@ammarisrar2005 that's close enuff. Giorgetto & MARCELLO GANDINI from BERTONE created amazing designs for MASERATI, LAMBORGHINI, ALFA ROMEO, BUGATTI & countless other car makers.
This scene is definitely one of the reasons this movie is held in such high regard among the Bond films. Starts with a motorcycle with a torpedo sidecar. Then Jaws comes off a side street in a car. Once Bond has dispatched them, then suddenly there’s Caroline Munro in the chopper (that scene where the chopper comes up alongside Bond is just goosebumps every time). And apparently Munro is one hell of a pilot to pull off some of those turns (and get in front of Bond!) Then juuuust when you think Bond’s gonna pull some tricky car move or pull into a tunnel, it’s “Can you swim?” Car turns into a freakin’ submarine and takes out the chopper only to THEN get attacked by frogmen AND a small submersible of their own. I love the way Anya hits the depth charge button at the end too. The scene definitely earned the fish gag at the end of an 8 minute rollercoaster.
It’s a tour de force, in my favorite Bond film. but Stromberg must be the least efficient Bond villain. 😂 he wastes a Kawasaki, a sidecar missile drone, an Alfa Romeo, a Jet Ranger, 5 henchmen, 2 frogmen, a submersible, and a ridiculously hot fEmme fatale in his pursuit. 😅 then again, Jaws is worth every penny as a henchman. 😁
And to think Stromberg could just pressed a single button to dispatch Bond when he was on his island. That's why I find the Italian gangster and spaghetti westerns films far superior. But who cares its entertainment eh! 😊
Timelessly impressive - no CGI, all real things captured on real film, stunts done for real, no cut and shut editing, style, charisma, something other worldly - just an amazing film.
Having watched a few old Bond films recently I fully agree. Some scenes looks pretty silly, especially with Roger Moore because he wasn't a good actor in fight scenes, but they all look alot more real and authentic compared to modern ones (because they are). They relied on real footage and clever usage of editing to obtain these amazing scenes. Modern ones with CGI somehow looks way less real and convincing. Something about the old, worse camera quality actually makes it look better in a way. It's hard to describe but the old movies has a different feel to them.
The shots of the helicopter popping up beside the Lotus on the road, and the one where the Lotus goes into the water with the helicopter alongside are pure cinematic gold!
@fairportfan2 would love to hear your reason why ?? Not saying you can't have a negative view , just curious as to why you think it's so bad. ?? I could say the same for the last 10 yrs of Bond films simply because I believe that Connery and Moore were the best
I was an 11 year old kid when this came out and I thought this chase scene with the Esprit S1 was the best thing ever. The action and exotic locations, along with the atmospheric Hamlisch music score were so intoxicating! And Ms Munro stirred feelings I’d never quite known before ...
Coming out of the water with the windshield wiper on and dropping the fish out the window. That sums up the humor of the Roger Moore Bond pictures. Loved them.
So true. The last Bond movies were ok. But to me and even my friends they lost that unique bond appeal and were getting more like any other action movie. It was time for them to stop.
@@atoz9405 I think Daniel Craig's Bond was really bad: too serious, coldly cynical, too much action; James Bond has to go back to basics: it has to be fantasy, comedy and entertaining
John K I love how they take regular cars that nobody really knows about and turn them into badass movie cars, I bet nobody knew what a 1970 Lotus Esprit was before this movie. Same with the Delorean from back to the future, that car was on the market from 1981-1983 and ever sense they used it in the 1985 back to the future film everybody wants one now. So DMC is actually bringing deloreans back this year.
Yes, it is. I really love it. I was seven years old when I saw Roger Moore presenting this trailer in a german tv-show and I desperately wanted to see the movie but was way too young. It was my first contact with a Bond movie and since then I am a fan 😉
According to John Glen (second-unit director of this film), Roger Moore came up with that; he had the idea that dropping a fish would be funny and just did it. It made no sense, but they went with it - for the fun.
All the driving scenes were done by a Lotus Engineer as the stuntmen could not drive the car fast enough for the directors screenshots, brilliant skill.
@@rogerkincaid931 Yep, couldn't agree with you Moore! LOL He's my favorite Bond of them all. No disrespect to all you Sean Connery and Daniel Craig fans - but Roger had that special charisma about him that made him very special to me. Call it a man crush or whatever but he was the best. RIP Moore and Connery.
Moore's finest Bond film and one of the great Bond films full stop. I was 6 when I saw this at the cinema - I thought was brilliant then and 47 years later, my opinion hasn't changed!!
@Henry Limpet The interesting thing about Bond back then was it was really very British, the humor, the understatement. I think this is what the English have always been about, Bond after the mid 80s lost the plot.
@@watershed44 The more fun Bond would have killed the series if it kept going on. I love Roger Moore's early Bond films but it started to get stale. The Living Daylights is great imo
I will watch James Bond anytime. Started watching 007 movies on the big screen since I was 10 years old. My dad introduced me to JB. I am 60 years old now and will never tire to watch the 007 movies.
Classy how the car goes crashing into the roof of the house and you think everyone is dead inside and then jaws comes out the front door brushing his suit and just walks away casually lmao.
I challenge anyone to find a more entertaining series of films from this era of bond just for sheer fun....does anyone know how good these films actually were without trying?
Good to also see a ford cortina in the car chase scene, back in 1978 the cortina would of been as popular as a ford mondeo is today. Amazing how the lotus looks amazing both back then and now, its one of those timeless cars!
The dead fish at the end was Roger's idea. He thought it'd be funny. It makes no sense, of course, but I'm glad they went with it - it concludes the scene on a humorous note.
Classic Bond, to me Roger Moore was the best, suave, typically English, funny, tongue in cheek but serious when needed to be. This scene sums up what Bond is all about, the latest films with Daniel Craig just don't have that quint essential 007.
Well said and absolutely agree. He was the best. His versatility was second to none. Today its all blood, guts and doom to pull the ticket sales in. The latest bond movies were hideous to say the least. Far to much time spent on anger with no realistic plots or characters, The music as well compared to the old ones was not as good. Latest bond had potential but lost the plot with exasperated scenes of blood and gore, Which for me totally detracted from all that 007 films are capable of. Moore was a classic example of a secret agent using his skill and cunning instead of just bullets and bullshit.
I think people tend to look back on past Bond eras with rose-tinted glasses (myself included). Yes this clip is great and stands the test of time very well, but even Roger's era was all-often criticised by many at the time for going too far into parody. This sort of approach wouldn't work as well with modern audiences. It's too dated and "of its time". They tried it to a degree with Spectre and it felt hoakey. Craig's films have a lot of good in them though. I grew up with the Brosnan films but its fair to say that they haven't aged particularly well and Craig's films are something of an improvement in terms of acting and production.
One of my most favorite 007 films and scenes. We need more of James Bond. As the MAN, that he is. But we need the masculinity, elegance, grace and wit, of another Sean Connery and or, Roger Moore. No one else can compare.
Saw this as a small kid with my cousin and our Grandad. We both went crazy for that car and begged him for a model of it. We both got the Corgi one with the little missiles and fins. Spent many happy hours in the bath recreating this scene :) the movie is still one of my faves.Sean Connery and Roger Moore still have it and they're not even here anymore :( Daniel Who?
What? I didn't Know. Connery was my Father's Bond, But I got stuck with Sir Roger Moore. And I do not regret it. Moonraker and The Spy Who Loved Me Changed My Life.
Started watching him when l was 7 he had a show called lVANHO not sure about the spelling...then he went to do the SAINT, loved the show...he had a distinct voice , distinct hair cut and most of all a distinct style ....he was a good looking chap in all his movies!
The best car chase action segment in any movie from start to finish ever!! Bond movie or otherwise. Great action, cool tech, one liners, and coming back on land to finish lol! So epic to this day!!
@@myalfie exactly, believe me the worlds way changed after Irans 1979 revolution, the shah gone. Democrats Owned the World. And Islamic Gray days starts to the Middle East and Then to world. Tnx my friend
Actually the world (or at least, the UK) wasn't a particularly happy place in the 1970s (oil crisis, inflation, industrial unrest - not too different to today!). Maybe that's why the Bond producers decided to make cheerful films!
Stromberg: We need a new helicopter pilot HR: We have two candidates. First candidate Bob: I have 25 years flight experience Stromberg: We'll let you know. Next candidate please Caroline Munroe: I can push buttons Stromberg: Welcome aboard
Also, some people don't give him credit as a ruthless Bond too. Each Bond kills villains, but in this, he just frankly shoots Strohmberg assassin style after he dodges the harpoon. There was the guy in the car he kicked off the ledge in For Your Eyes Only, and in Moonraker, he sent Drax out into space to die a horrible death.
Its the way the motorcyclist loses it that just kills me every time. After being such a covert tough guy only to wind up looking like a Keystone cop unable to control his bike and roaring off a cliff pasted with feathers. What an epic fail. What an idiot. The Wile Coyote fall is just perfect. Wait for it!!
I've never really appreciated Hamlisch's score tbh, but in the underwater skirmish scene he manages to combine 1960s espionage big brass with 70s disco beats, synths and light, percussive, funky guitar. Clever!
3:31 I love how even when the assassin was trying to kill Bond, he still offered his gentle smile like a gentleman. Something unique from all other spies.
This is what a Bond movie should be! Not about a middleaged man with parenting issues and relationship problems! Pure escapism! That's what we want in Bond movies! 🙂
The Lotus Esprit from The Spy Who Loved Me has gone down in history as one of the best Bond cars ever put to film. It is just as iconic as the Aston Martin DB5 from Goldfinger. And it’s ability to submerge underwater and turn itself into a freaking submarine has got to be the coolest feature in a Bond car ever. Also, gotta love that engine sound. Such a shame that the Lotus Esprit doesn’t get enough of the love that it so desperately deserves.
What a summer 1977 was! Thirteen years old and the cinema was packed. The film was a massive hit and all we talked about for weeks after. And of course we got Close Encounters the same summer. Another superb film.
TexasRocks HillCounrty You really have to love the way they also slyly included some humorous moments into this chase. Like right at the beginning when of all the trucks on the road Bond could've gotten stuck behind while being chased by the missile firing motorcycle was of all things a mattress delivery truck.
Damn... The girl in the helicopter was pretty hot, to bad she had to go? The best Bond and the coolest movies ever, the new 007 is kind of cool but none can or could beat Roger Moore as James Bond.
My favourite James Bond film ever. I used to be an avid Sean Connery fan but Sir Roger is brilliant. I love this film, the music, the Series 1 Lotus Esprit, Caroline Munro, and a great film. The best. The perfect film to watch over a Christmas / Easter weekend. You are much missed Sir Roger Moore.
02:25 forward vision is obscured Driver: "Best course of action will be to keep my right foot buried into the carpet and swerve from side to side like a loon"
This is the ultimate bond formula, cool car, beautiful woman, exotic locations and escapism, great villains and henchmen and the over the top plot of world domination. Wish the new ones stuck to this and not the personal storylines and seeing bond getting a kid and dying, they have messed up everything after Casino Royale.

I'm sick of the DB5!! Lotus Esprit is the Best Ever Bond car 😈
😊😊😊😊😊😊😊ข😊
I need fall videos
The best bond car period for me.
Possibly the most beautiful car ever made, such pure lines.
Watching this at the Cinema as a 10 year old Boy in 1978 I thought that Car was the most amazing thing I had ever seen. And when it was driven out of the Sea, I nearly passed out. Brilliant.
You should visit that place in Sardinia, i worked as well at the hotel where the car pass front of the hotel sign...!!
To me, the Lotus is the quintessential Bond vehicle.
Exactly my same thought.... I loved it.
@@ForlornFreddy to me it's the DB5 but the lotus is well good
1977 actually, I used to go to see the modern James Bond films with Roger Moore with my mother, every summer.
Without any doubt, one of the best Bond films ever. I love it.
I preferred the more "down to earth" Bond Roger Moore films like Octopussy and For Your Eyes Only. But this one is his best "taking down the evil organization in some obscure and distant base of operations" bond film.
Not one of the best, but the best bond movie ever made, Roger Moore a touch of class, for every Pure Gold 🙂🙂🙂❤️🙂❤️😌❤️🙂❤️🙂❤️😌❤️🙂❤️🙂❤️😌❤️🙂❤️🙂❤️

This scene is definitely one of the reasons this movie is held in such high regard among the Bond films. Starts with a motorcycle with a torpedo sidecar. Then Jaws comes off a side street in a car. Once Bond has dispatched them, then suddenly there’s Caroline Munro in the chopper (that scene where the chopper comes up alongside Bond is just goosebumps every time). And apparently Munro is one hell of a pilot to pull off some of those turns (and get in front of Bond!)
Then juuuust when you think Bond’s gonna pull some tricky car move or pull into a tunnel, it’s “Can you swim?” Car turns into a freakin’ submarine and takes out the chopper only to THEN get attacked by frogmen AND a small submersible of their own. I love the way Anya hits the depth charge button at the end too.
The scene definitely earned the fish gag at the end of an 8 minute rollercoaster.
It’s a tour de force, in my favorite Bond film. but Stromberg must be the least efficient Bond villain. 😂 he wastes a Kawasaki, a sidecar missile drone, an Alfa Romeo, a Jet Ranger, 5 henchmen, 2 frogmen, a submersible, and a ridiculously hot fEmme fatale in his pursuit. 😅 then again, Jaws is worth every penny as a henchman. 😁
The video shots, the decent action, the plot and the music. This one was really finessed.
And to think Stromberg could just pressed a single button to dispatch Bond when he was on his island. That's why I find the Italian gangster and spaghetti westerns films far superior. But who cares its entertainment eh! 😊
@@ahassen1236 the HQs would then track the trace and order Royal Navy and Soviet Navy to sink Atlantis, without knowing Stormberg's real plan

8:53
Timelessly impressive - no CGI, all real things captured on real film, stunts done for real, no cut and shut editing, style, charisma, something other worldly - just an amazing film.
What? Atlantis is real?
"for real".
Sure, with how many different versions of the car for the different stages?
Having watched a few old Bond films recently I fully agree. Some scenes looks pretty silly, especially with Roger Moore because he wasn't a good actor in fight scenes, but they all look alot more real and authentic compared to modern ones (because they are).
They relied on real footage and clever usage of editing to obtain these amazing scenes. Modern ones with CGI somehow looks way less real and convincing.
Something about the old, worse camera quality actually makes it look better in a way. It's hard to describe but the old movies has a different feel to them.
He even uses the lights when turning under water. What a gentleman!
Glad someone else noticed that. I love that dry British humor...shaken, not stirred. :)
Oh yeah, I didn't notice that. Suppose he doesn't want to break the law
@@thedittogod5478 like Q says in GoldenEye - "you have a licence to kill, not to break the traffic rules!"
@@dimashevchenkoua Exactly
I roared with laughter when I saw that!
This was the car I wanted as a kid, even without the weapons systems. The other Bond cars were cool, but this one, it was iconic, and stuck with me.
I think it's late to answer but I got it at hotwheels
Its available in GTA V
I love it too
I have the model made by Corgi in my hand while I write these lines.
The best Bond movie of the 70’s.
The shots of the helicopter popping up beside the Lotus on the road, and the one where the Lotus goes into the water with the helicopter alongside are pure cinematic gold!
What I can't understand is why the girl was scared shitless when Bond drove off the pier, when she knew exactly what the car was capable of?
The drop of the fish at the end and the look on his face! Classic
The Spy Who Loved Me, Smokey and the Bandit, Star Wars - being twelve years old in 1977 ruled.
Great year!!
Don't forget Saturday Night Fever.
@@keelyleilani1326 SNF is definitely one of the greatest films of the 70s IMO.
Good times

The Lotus and Helicopter scene is absolutely fantastic filmmaking. Beautifully timed.
The helos pilot was the best part of the scene.
When the hot pilot winked at Bond, I don't know if I'd be turned on or terrified.
The best Bond film by far - perfect mix of imaginative action and humour. No future Bond has ever done it better.
Makes me feel sad for the rest.
One of the worst, actually.
@fairportfan2 would love to hear your reason why ?? Not saying you can't have a negative view , just curious as to why you think it's so bad. ?? I could say the same for the last 10 yrs of Bond films simply because I believe that Connery and Moore were the best
James Bond + Sardinia = MASTERPIERCE
I was an 11 year old kid when this came out and I thought this chase scene with the Esprit S1 was the best thing ever. The action and exotic locations, along with the atmospheric Hamlisch music score were so intoxicating! And Ms Munro stirred feelings I’d never quite known before ...
These old Bond films had class and style-unlike the present ones-Barbara Bach was beautiful in this movie!
Coming out of the water with the windshield wiper on and dropping the fish out the window.
That sums up the humor of the Roger Moore Bond pictures.
Loved them.
and the music coming on as he drives out
This was the moment Moore truly became Bond, and owned it.
R.I.P. Sir Roger, you were effortlessly awesome.
Back when Bond movies were proper Bond movies.
Ya.
So true. The last Bond movies were ok. But to me and even my friends they lost that unique bond appeal and were getting more like any other action movie. It was time for them to stop.
@@atoz9405 I think Daniel Craig's Bond was really bad: too serious, coldly cynical, too much action; James Bond has to go back to basics: it has to be fantasy, comedy and entertaining
@@parsecgilly1495 Exactly. It was too realistic. I thought Bond movies' were supossed to be fun, not depressing.
Unfortunately the latest Bond movie have gone Politically Correct….there are not fun to watch anymore
I just watched this for the first time. The helicopter coming up the side of the mountain next to Bond is amazing. 10 out of 10.
Interestingly the little boy who points at the lotus coming out the water is Richard Kiel’s (aka jaws) own son
Aww. Cute.
I love the way they had guys hiding in the ocean, just in case bond had a submarine car.
Man, you *CRACK ME UP!*
John K I love how they take regular cars that nobody really knows about and turn them into badass movie cars, I bet nobody knew what a 1970 Lotus Esprit was before this movie. Same with the Delorean from back to the future, that car was on the market from 1981-1983 and ever sense they used it in the 1985 back to the future film everybody wants one now. So DMC is actually bringing deloreans back this year.
I love how they had had four goons in a Mk IV Cortina chasing a Lotus Esprit Turbo
...as a backup in case the sidecar bomb failed, obviously
Gary Masters the guys are hiding in the ocean because of course the submarine car will have water launched anti helicopter missiles
@8:47 The gentlemanly way in which Bond removes the fish from the car. Sir Roger Moore was pure class.

Yes, it is. I really love it. I was seven years old when I saw Roger Moore presenting this trailer in a german tv-show and I desperately wanted to see the movie but was way too young. It was my first contact with a Bond movie and since then I am a fan 😉
The song is Bond 77, from the soundtrack. One of very few Bond movie soundtracks still available on iTunes.

How did the fish get in the car....?
@@mafiacopies Yeah, was thinking that too. Oh well, movie magic
@@mafiacopies knowing Lotus there was probably a big gaping hole in the car it came through
According to John Glen (second-unit director of this film), Roger Moore came up with that; he had the idea that dropping a fish would be funny and just did it. It made no sense, but they went with it - for the fun.
@@lukasnummer1 @Friedrich Schmidt
Well the car developed a pretty serious water leak after the explosion so it's possible it slipped into the car.
All the driving scenes were done by a Lotus Engineer as the stuntmen could not drive the car fast enough for the directors screenshots, brilliant skill.
One of the best car chases in Bond history. Well choreographed with just the right amount of gadgets and cheesy humor.
For it's day, it was by far the best James Bond movie ever.
"All those feathers and he still can't fly".
Moore always had effective Punchlines
Possibly the greatest scene in all James Bond movies!!
No one do it better than Moore!!
Probably I am biased, but Moore made the movies quite fun and interesting to watch!!
Roger simply the best
He's the most humorous of all them. And that's a compliment.
@@rogerkincaid931 Yep, couldn't agree with you Moore! LOL He's my favorite Bond of them all. No disrespect to all you Sean Connery and Daniel Craig fans - but Roger had that special charisma about him that made him very special to me. Call it a man crush or whatever but he was the best. RIP Moore and Connery.
Moore's finest Bond film and one of the great Bond films full stop. I was 6 when I saw this at the cinema - I thought was brilliant then and 47 years later, my opinion hasn't changed!!
Back when JB films were fun and didn't take itself so seriously.
@Henry Limpet
The interesting thing about Bond back then was it was really very British, the humor, the understatement. I think this is what the English have always been about, Bond after the mid 80s lost the plot.

Classy how the car goes crashing into the roof of the house and you think everyone is dead inside and then jaws comes out the front door brushing his suit and just walks away casually lmao.

Jaws the man is a legend. He was hilarious too.
Did he just walk away like nothing happened? Yeah I'm correct
And while Jaws is a killer, he's not a psychopath, he leaves the unlucky homeowner be.
Not a word was spoken. Jaws was cool.
What about the "You got something to say old man?" look that Jaws gave that man!
This movie was SO cool!

I challenge anyone to find a more entertaining series of films from this era of bond just for sheer fun....does anyone know how good these films actually were without trying?
Adjusted for inflation, the Sir Roger Moore era of Bond made the most amount of money of any of the Bonds.
The best bond and the best bond car ever!! RIP Roger!
totally over the top and fun, the way a Bond movie should be..
Good to also see a ford cortina in the car chase scene, back in 1978 the cortina would of been as popular as a ford mondeo is today. Amazing how the lotus looks amazing both back then and now, its one of those timeless cars!
That introduces the cortina mark 4
The dead fish at the end was Roger's idea. He thought it'd be funny. It makes no sense, of course, but I'm glad they went with it - it concludes the scene on a humorous note.
It was only later when I got older that I realised the absurdity of a fish being able to be inside the car with just a couple of leaks 😂😂😂
Classic Bond, to me Roger Moore was the best, suave, typically English, funny, tongue in cheek but serious when needed to be. This scene sums up what Bond is all about, the latest films with Daniel Craig just don't have that quint essential 007.
Well said and absolutely agree. He was the best. His versatility was second to none. Today its all blood, guts and doom to pull the ticket sales in. The latest bond movies were hideous to say the least. Far to much time spent on anger with no realistic plots or characters, The music as well compared to the old ones was not as good. Latest bond had potential but lost the plot with exasperated scenes of blood and gore, Which for me totally detracted from all that 007 films are capable of. Moore was a classic example of a secret agent using his skill and cunning instead of just bullets and bullshit.
what about Sean Connery?
I think people tend to look back on past Bond eras with rose-tinted glasses (myself included). Yes this clip is great and stands the test of time very well, but even Roger's era was all-often criticised by many at the time for going too far into parody.
This sort of approach wouldn't work as well with modern audiences. It's too dated and "of its time". They tried it to a degree with Spectre and it felt hoakey. Craig's films have a lot of good in them though. I grew up with the Brosnan films but its fair to say that they haven't aged particularly well and Craig's films are something of an improvement in terms of acting and production.
Stephen Bain if you had any knowledge about Bond movies you would know why people are looking back with rose tinted glasses as you said.
Sean Connery without question! Moore was good, but not the best
I love how, even though he was in the water, he used his indicator. Safe driving saves lives
1977 was a great year for movies: Starwars, The Spy Who Loved Me
And music in 1977.
Mr. Handsome YOU’RE meh
Smokey And The Bandit.
I'm gonna bbq your a$$ in molasses!
One of my most favorite 007 films and scenes. We need more of James Bond. As the MAN, that he is. But we need the masculinity, elegance, grace and wit, of another Sean Connery and or, Roger Moore. No one else can compare.
Saw this as a small kid with my cousin and our Grandad. We both went crazy for that car and begged him for a model of it. We both got the Corgi one with the little missiles and fins. Spent many happy hours in the bath recreating this scene :) the movie is still one of my faves.Sean Connery and Roger Moore still have it and they're not even here anymore :( Daniel Who?
We will always miss you Sir Roger Moore
What? I didn't Know.
Connery was my Father's Bond,
But I got stuck with Sir Roger Moore.
And I do not regret it.

Also, some people don't give him credit as a ruthless Bond too. Each Bond kills villains, but in this, he just frankly shoots Strohmberg assassin style after he dodges the harpoon. There was the guy in the car he kicked off the ledge in For Your Eyes Only, and in Moonraker, he sent Drax out into space to die a horrible death.

When that film came out, we lived just down the road from the factory where those were made. That really gave you the feels for it.
I've never really appreciated Hamlisch's score tbh, but in the underwater skirmish scene he manages to combine 1960s espionage big brass with 70s disco beats, synths and light, percussive, funky guitar. Clever!
Roger Moore as James Bond are the best Bond movies, imho! Super cult movies!

The Lotus Esprit from The Spy Who Loved Me has gone down in history as one of the best Bond cars ever put to film. It is just as iconic as the Aston Martin DB5 from Goldfinger.
