19. The Gadgets
We’re familiar with Bond’s cars, guns and an array of other exotic devices he uses his missions. But he also carries a more mundane piece of technology – a pager. He keeps it with him for the same reason many people carried them before cell phones, so he can stay in contact with the office.
18. M and Q
“M” is the code name for Bond’s boss at M-6 who sends him on his missions. None of the characters, including Bond, know M’s real name, but it is eventually revealed to be the initial of his last name, Messervy, a Vice Admiral in Britain’s Royal Navy. “Q”, the armorer who outfits agents, is referred to as Major Botthroyd in the 1977 film The Spy Who Loved Me.
