    5:37 I assume the jetpack damaged the look of Bond's DB5 since when Bond landed the sand kicked in and went onto the car. I mean look at it at the end of that scene, it just made the car dirty. And that's a big sin.

    Well, the exploding milk bottles are pretty accurate with their damage rating. Necros wiped out probably half of the MI6 manor staff with these things.

    Size rating:
    Bird 1 (A rocket large enough to eat a space ship) - 79%
    Double-Decker Bus - 84%
    ...Seems legit.

    Wow the people making these cards really started getting slap-dash after allies and villains. I think gadgets, vehicles and locations need an "iconic" rating. I feel like they could have made a better game out of Bond cards by doing something akin to Magic The Gathering, where locations are the mana, gadgets and vehicles are spells, and allies and villains are creatures.

    How is Scaramanga's fun house occupancy level even at 32%, there are never more than 5 people on the entire island at one given time! Surely that would be the one area deserving of a single digit percent.

      Calvin Dyson You can get both basic sets (6 Bonds and 4 Q gadgets) without any of the display cases for about £10. Of course, if you want the fancy philately cases, it’s more expensive.

  • @youtubecritic8420
    @youtubecritic8420 4 года назад +2

    **at least what I remember from the games** Q is always urging bond with how expensive his gadgets cost and how he should stop damaging/losing them so I'd think cost factor is how much money it costs Q branch to make that gadget.

    • @BenCol
      @BenCol 4 года назад

      It’s especially important as MI6’s budget comes from taxes, so Q Branch’s gadgets are funded by UK taxpayers - as referenced in ‘Live and Let Die’ when M chastises Bond for having Q repair his watch.

  • @jomo999
    @jomo999 4 года назад

    I think we can treat the functions rating as how versatile the gadget is combined with how well it accomplishes what it's designed to do. The attache case has multiple uses and Bond uses them all to saty alive and accomplish his mission. The walther PPK on the other hand has one use....shooting people, however, it does that one thing very very well, I mean....Bond kills a lot of people with that gun. And the 'damage caused' I view as accumulative across his films rather than the one usage. But I may be making excuses, some of the ratings just make no sense, I think they were grasping at straws to work out a uniform system for handing out scores.
