007 DR. NO

This iconic beach scene from the first Bond film Dr. No is sure to inspire you to seek similar sunny adventures. You might spot the difference between the film and image: the blue shirt Sean Connery wore was hand-tinted orange to create more eye-catching promotional lobby cards.

007 THUNDERBALL

This illustration from the Thunderball film poster features Sean Connery as Bond fighting off a SPECTRE agent. These underwater action scenes contributed to the film winning an Oscar for Best Visual Effects, and make for a perfect pair of swim shorts for all 007 enthusiasts.

007 YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE

We've used artwork depicting a stylised Bond coolly piloting an autogyro while being pursued by SPECTRE helicopters for a striking pair of shorts. In typical style, he appears cool, calm and collected—so much so that his hands aren’t even touching the steering.

007 LIVE AND LET DIE

This memorable chase scene from Live And Let Die shows Bond using a Glastron GT150 speedboat to evade Dr. Kananga’s men, during which a world record was unintentionally set when the boat cleared 110 feet.

ASTON MARTIN DB5 - Everything you need to know about 007’s iconic car

Ian Fleming’s "Goldfinger" (1959) novel specified that Bond drive a gadget-laden Aston Martin DB Mark III for the chase across Europe. The Mark III was introduced in 1957, the year before Fleming wrote Goldfinger. In preparation for the filming of "Goldfinger" (1964), production designer Ken Adam and special effects’ John Stears visited Aston Martin Lagonda to make a deal with them for a car. On their visit they fell in love with the DB5 prototype and managed to secure it for the movie.

The DB5 returned in "Thunderball" (1965), repaired after Bond’s crash in "Goldfinger" but then didn’t appear for another 30 years until "GoldenEye" (1995). A version of the iconic car was also featured in "Tomorrow Never Dies" (1997), "The World Is Not Enough" (1999), "Casino Royale" (2006), "Skyfall" (2012) and "SPECTRE" (2015).

Bond book appearance: Thunderball (1961)
Experience of 007 Travelers: Self-made

"May was looking rather contrite. It seemed as if she might make another speech. Bond held up his hand. ‘Don’t tell me, May. You were right. I can’t do my work on carrot juice. I’ve got to be off in an hour and I need some proper food. Be an angel and make me your kind of scrambled eggs – four eggs. Four rashers of that American hickory-smoked bacon if we’ve got any left, hot buttered toast – your kind, not wholemeal – and a big pot of coffee, double strength. And bring in the drink tray.’"

Mark Knopfler and Peter Frampton / James Bond theme songs

Mark Knopfler and Peter Frampton are among the guests on a new album by Brian Bennett, the longtime drummer with British chart champions the Shadows.

Knopfler plays on "All The Time In The World" (1969), Barry's composition with lyricist Hal David that became a hit for Louis Armstrong, from the soundtrack of the James Bond film "On Her Majesty's Secret Service". Frampton appears on a new version of another Bond theme, "Thunderball," (1965) and Marvin on "The Appointment".

Knopfler, a lifelong Shadows fan, says that "All The Time In The World" was one of Barry's personal favourites. It was such a thrill to be asked to contribute to this version by Brian, one of my all-time favourite great drummers and a fine composer and arranger himself.

Listen to Peter Frampton on "Thunderball" (track 1) and Mark Knopfler on "All The Time In The World" (track 9) on the Brian Bennett Orchestra's Shadowing John Barry on Spotify.

007 Travelers report with pics: Thunderball 50th Anniversary Screening event in Helsinki, Finland

What: Thunderball 50th Anniversary Screening event
Where: Orion Cinema, Eerikinkatu 15, Helsinki, Finland
When: 15 August 2015

Report: 007 Travelers
Photos: Tapio and Tomi on behalf of 007 Travelers

On this beautiful Saturday night there was a lot going on in Helsinki, Finland. Since it is time of Helsinki Festival 2015, our capital city is full of people and here are lots of tourists. On this day was for example Flow Festival and Helsinki City Marathon but also a very special event: Thunderball 50th Anniversary Screening, arranged by 007 Travelers in co-operation with National Audiovisual Institute KAVI.

007 Travelers was ready for the evening, and was looking forward to seeing all those people coming to the event, which was almost sold out.

Mika and Pirita / 007 Travelers

In the lobby of Orion cinema we had a table with some "Thunderball" (1965) stuff on it and many found that interesting.

Our photographers Tapio and Tomi took photos of this event and here you can see many of them.

We had James Bonds, Bond villains and Bond girls.....

On the way to cinema from this beautiful lobby

Along the red carpets to see "Thunderball" (1965)

Everyone got their lottery number and soon the program started.

Malla from KAVI welcomed the audience on behalf of Kavi and Orion cinema and introduced Pirita and Mika.

After that Pirita welcomed everyone on behalf of 007 Travelers and right after that we heard Mika´s speech of "Thunderball" (1965).

Then it was time to have the lottery. Here are the winners and the prizes.

Spy Museum products: Hannu Kökkänen

Episodi movie magazine for one year: Auli Korpivaara and Juha Seitajärvi

Helsinki shooting club gift card: Amiina Abdalla

A&S Restaurants gift card: Unknown secret agent (wanted to remain incognito)

Solo Sokos Hotel Torni Helsinki gift card: Henry Mamberg

007 Travelers wanted to give away a gift card of Restaurant Casa Largo, since the food is good there and its name has a "Thunderball" villain connection. We decided to give it to person whose lottery number was 007 and Johanna Leinonen got that number this time.

Only one prize left, the best Bond style costume. the choice was hard since there were several people with great costumes. But our jury had to choose one, and the one was at this time Lauri Hämeen-Anttila, as Mr. Emilio Largo. Another event guest had also great Largo style with cigar and he had coloured his hair gray and also he had his another eye hidden. Actually it was extremely hard to decide the winner.

After that, we started the screening with "SPECTRE" (2015) trailer, arranged by SF Film Finland Oy:




Not everyone had seen that before and it was a great surprise for them and we all enjoyed it a lot. Soon it was time to begin "Thunderball" (1965) film. Both "SPECTRE" (2015) trailer and "Thunderball" film got huge applause from the audience.

After the film some of us gathered for a group photo. The evening was perfect!
