My favorite scene is the Alpine drive sequence in Goldfinger and that shot of Bond standing next to the DB5 looking down into the valley below. 007 perfection!
I actually just like the scene(s) of Bond tailing Goldfinger in Geneva. From the shots of it being driven in Switzerland, to Bond using the wheels to disable Tilly’s Mustang, the scene’s a favorite of mine!
My favourite scene is the scene in Switzerland (and judging by the other comments I am not the only one who thinks this way)! Sean Connery following Goldfinger just being a spy (and an absolutely cool one, while we're at it) in a gorgeous scenery. The finishing touch is the iconic music we hear in the background!
While I always enjoy seeing the Aston Martin DB5 in a James Bond movie, my favorite scene is in Goldfinger in the Furka Pass. The shot when Bond stops and is standing next to the DB5 looking down to where Goldfinger is stopped is gorgeous. The winding road, the valley, the scenery, the DB5, and Bond himself, everything about that scene is perfect.
The scene in Goldfinger where Bond gives the Mustang a flat tire. I love how we are seeing the DB5 gadgets in action for the first time and Bond is also seeing them in action for the first time. It’s an experience simultaneously shared by both our hero and ourselves. It always makes me feel like I’m in the car with Bond and we are both reacting to these exciting moments together.
While I love the scenes of the DB5 in Scotland, I feel that nothing beats seeing this beautiful car in the Swiss Alps. Will always remember those shots of it in Goldfinger. Such a special car for every bond fan.
I love the moment the Aston Martin DB5 is revealed in Skyfall when Bond is escaping with M. The moment Bond opens the garage door and turns on light and the car is revealed gets me every time!
Controversial, but I loved when the DB5 was destroyed in Skyfall. Up to that moment, Bond appeared to merely be inconvenienced by that attack on him and M, but after the car exploded, to look Daniel Craig have showed it had become personal.
The first Bond film I had the chance to see in cinema was Skyfall (2012) and I remember quite vividly to this day when the audience, consisting of both women and men of all ages, gasped in amazement when the DB5 was revealed behind the garage door in London. The shared moment of excitement, nostalgia and awe over an old sports car was a rather nice movie experience where people from all generations were impressed. Nice little memory
I love the scene in No Time To Die where Bond and Madeleine are both sitting in the car while being shot at until he dose the now famous donut. Very tense scene !!
Skyfall has my favorite DB5 scenes. When he opens the garage door so he and M can switch vehicles, the old school bond music. Love it. Also when they stop along the road. That car with in a misty Scottish setting, talk about gorgeous.
My favorite DB5 scene, is part of the Matera sequence when they're cornered in the Town Square. The way they build the tension, as Bond sits there brooding before he finally flips the switch and unleashes those Gatling guns, whilst doing a donut and smirking. Absolute classic!!
Q describing the special features, & Connery's doubletake, "Ejector seat, you're joking!". "I never joke about my work 007" - totally deadpan. British understatement! Fabulous-looking car.
Favourite scene: Bond & Madeleine trapped in the square, the tension is incredible, followed by the amazing escape. Zimmer’s BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM soundtrack in the background. Wonderful. Great video showing this incredible book. 👍
My favorite scene is with Bond saying to Q that he must be joking about the ejector seat and Q responding: "I never joke about my work 007". Brilliant!
My favorite DB5 scene is the whole pre-title sequence of No Time To Die. It really showcases the car and what it can do. My ABSOLUTE favorite part of that scene, is when Bond is doing the donut and the camera cuts to the tachometer bouncing off the rev limiter. As a car guy, that resonates with me on a huge emotional level.
Having grown up in Switzerland, the mountain pass, Bond following Goldfinger, just gorgeous, the scenery and the car, and seeing that hidden "GPS " tracker screen, just übercool!
Hands down, my favorite scene (I'll rewind and watch it several times) is when Q reveals the new car to Bond in Goldfinger. Love him going thru the features and the back and forth between Q and Bond.
Up until last year I would've said best DB5 scene is in Goldfinger, followed by Goldeneye. But since fall 2021 No Time to die showcases the DB5's finest hour for me. After all these years to come out and to create a new iconic sequence featuring this great car, is just breathtaking! Congrats to the filmmakers.
Contest has ended but I have to share mine. My favorite DB5 scene is when Bond and M are driving through Scotland in Skyfall, the music, cinematography, and sound of the car all come together incredibly well
I love the scene when Ms Masterson is trying to shoot gold finger in the Swiss alps with the sniper rifle. The camera view of Sean and the DB5 in the firing line from above is cool.
Its a simple scene, but my favourite is when he first gets in it in casino royal and goes around the roundabout and says "welcome to my home". It's cheeky, it's playful and the car looks great.
It might be clique however my childhood favourite DB5 Scene is Gold Finger “The Car Chase Scene” Smoke Screens, Oil slicks and bulletproof shields 🛡 Just awesome 😎 Great videos, many thanks 🙏 for the great content.
As much as I love Craig and him hiding in the DB5 and shooting the baddies in Skyfall, my favorite scene with the car is Brosnan racing the Ferrari at the beginning of Goldeneye. Thank you for the chance and great video!
I love the scene from skyfall where he stands in front of the db5 and M is waiting in the car. It‘s kind of a nod to the famous picture of sean connery standing next to the DB5. You can sense that something bad is gonna happen which is why I love the scene and the car.
My favourite is the original one in Goldfinger when Q introduces it to Bond, ‘I never joke about my work 007’….closely followed by the reveal scene in the garage from Skyfall.
I love the moment in Skyfall when Bond opens up his lock up / garage and we see the DB5 with a classic rendition of the Bond theme by Thomas Newman in the background
For me the stand out moment for the DB5 could well be its swansong.... Is the scene in NTTD. Its starts out as Bonds personal grand tourer in the stunning Matera backdrop. But when the call to action is required its he's gadget loaded attack vechicle...When DB5 is being mercilessly hit with constant heavy gunfire, at a flick of a switch the machine guns pop out the headlights... Thats the quintessential Bond car. 👍
Favourite DB5 moment has to be in Matera when the windows are taking a pounding before Bond clicks into action, Zimmer’s score kicks in, and Bond unleases the gattling guns!
Hello from England Hi David I have been a little busy over the last few months having some work done on my house so have not watched any of your videos. HOWEVER This video sparks my interest TODAY because i went to my local SAINSBURYS supermarket to do my weekly shop and i parked up and as i was walking towards the entrance to the shop i noticed a DB5 and OMG WOW. I stopped in front of it as the owner got out. He was around mid to late 60's and i said to him "HELLO 007" Of course he laughed. The car was AWESOME. The plate registration was 4 digits then DB.so i expect that the plate would be worth some £000's if not many. It just "STOOD OUT" amongst ordinary cars
I so need this book in my Bond library.. so fingers crossed!! 🤞😍 My favourite DB5 scene is definitely the doughnut scene from NTTD.. awesome review as always David.. and this book looks like "a must" for me!! From Istanbul with love my friend. 🙏
Favorite scene has to be the chase through Matera. I gave this some thought because initially I would say the factory chase in goldfinger. However the music the gadgets, quick turns through matera and the donut maneuver literally made my jaw drop when I saw that first trailer. Absolutely stunning
"Oh go on. Eject me!" - M to 007 (Daniel Craig) Skyfall. What a classic car and a line in the movie that encapsulates what Bond's Aston Martin is famous for.
There’s so many great scenes over the years. First off as a photographer the photograph of Sean Connery leaning on the DB5 is one of the greatest photographs. My favorite scene would have to be Casino Royale when he wins the car in a poker game against Alex Dimitrios. Then picks up Dimitrios wife and drives around the resort circle back to his place. I mean what’s more Bond smooth than that? The whole sequence goes from serious to sexy to funny.
I’m favourite scene with the DB5 is when Bond goes to the his lock up with M (Dame Judy Dench) to get the DB5 and drive M to what he thinks is possibly a safe place….SKYFALL. The scene where he drives though the night streets of London is Deptford High street which was only a few miles away from where I grew up as a child….when I first saw the scene I knew straight away where it was…..and it’s special for that reason, the scenes in Whitehall are easy for tourists to recognise when visiting central London as they are the normal Tourist attractions…….Trafalgar Sq, Downing St….the Houses of Parliament Big Ben etc……but to see the DB5 drive through the streets of South East London (SE8) is special and is why it’s my favourite DB5 Moment.
Goldfinger is the DB5 and Bond relationship Origin Story and in addition, it's various appearances in that film become intrinsic to how the plot unfolds and lay the foundations for it's iconic status. The alpine scene on the Furka Pass is it's own road movie as well as my favorite DB5 appearance. It encapsulates that which we all secretly hope to emulate on our own road trips - excitement and danger, seeing breathtaking scenery unfold before us, perhaps a little flirtatious engagement with a stranger... It's our collective idealized road-trip travelogue blueprint.
Loved the DB5 part in Goldfinger where Bond cut the tires and destroyed the complete side of Mrs. Mastertons car, and then just telling her it would have been an expleded tire :D
I love the Corgi Classics model of the DB5. They always sell out around Xmas. I've got about 8 of their various Bond models. They're parked in front of my Bond books.
Vue Cinema UK is showing every Bond film, each Saturday starting this one. I've booked for Goldfinger, so far. The Rolls in that is remarkable. I used to have a toy version of it as a kid- a Corgi or something. They still do them. Wouldn't mind having one as a paperweight or something. I see one and get the old 60's Bond music start playing in my head...
Absolutely love it! Hey David, would you ever review the Daniel Craig's Bond shot by Greg Williams book that you talked about in an old video with behind the scenes shots of Daniel in a dive wetsuit in Jamaica? That would be incredible!
I love the DB5 Mountain Chase scene in Goldeneye. Nothing says Bond like the DB5 and was a great way to into Pierce as the new Bond. This film and this scene will always be special to me as was the movie that got me into Bond.
For me, the greatest moment was when the DB5 was revealed for the very first time. 1964, Q's workshop and a rather bored James Bond being introduced to a car that the world would love forevermore. …
For me my favourite DB5 scene has to be the ending scene of Spectre where Bond drives off with Madeleine. It was the first Bond movie I saw in a cinema and it made a lasting impression.
Favorite DB5 Scene: During Bond and M's drive to Skyfall lodge. They stop to look at the mountains and M asks Bond about his parents while the DB5 is parked behind them. For me, there is something special about this scene because it is symbolic; the DB5 is and always will play a significant part in Bond's life.
For me, it’s got to be the DB5 racing the F355 GTS in Goldeneye! We don’t see many gadgets (omitting the highly classy champagne storage), but the way Bond drives feels like it’s straight from Fleming. Racing shifts, hillside hairpins and of course the Brosnan charm and wit throughout - just brilliant!
Favourite scene is in Goldfinger, when Q introduces the car first time to Bond, who takes a disdained view towards it (The Bentley never let me down before). Then we get the gadgets and amazing memories from there on!
I've ordered a copy after seeing your review today.. looks like an awesome book,good quality I got the Bond Archives Art Edition book recently, this will go nicely hand in hand with it.👌
Well, where do I start? My favourite scene with the DB5, (and I'm not alone, because this scene has its own book, The Goldfinger Files!) is the scene with the drive through the Alps. The music, the Bond outfit, the scenery ...oh, and the car. Class...
I like the Aston Martin DB5 scene in No Time To Die because it brings back the legendary DB5. This is a throwback scene to Goldfinger when Bond had all of the gadgets from the car such as the Ejector Seat, Smoke Screen and Front Wing Machine Guns. The Aston Martin DB5 has been more upgraded in No Time To Die with a brand-new Italian registration plate, a pair of Miniguns behind the front headlights and even Bombs that can also be deployed at the back of the car giving Bond a lot more firepower at his disposal. Useful aids for 007 as he finds himself in a raging car chase through the streets of Matera Italy. The classic DB5 is never away from the inevitable action that follows James Bond wherever he goes. The Aston Martin DB5 is the most famous car in cinema history!
I love the scene where Bond drives Tilly Masterson to the service station after blowing out her tires. True, the Aston Martin doesn't perform any tricks, but it does handle well while providing a smooth ride. There's something unique for the franchise yet curiously emblematic in the interplay between the dismissive Tilly (who's not buying into Bond's charms) and Connery's cheery conviviality blended with a slightly sinister undertone as he questions/interrogates her about the contents of the case on the dash.
Although a newer film comparatively speaking, my favorite DB5 scene is in Skyfall when James pretends to go and eject M from the seat. I think its such a great moment where they both show their personalities and somehow their affection towards eachother even with everything going on.
I enjoyed this book, quite the coffee table book with large clear photos. Favorite scene, driving around Geneva following Goldfinger, or is it when Daniel Craig pulls out of the garage with M in Skyfall...so very difficult.
My favorite DB5 scene is in Skyfall when Bond hides in it and ambushes Silva's men! As much as I like the upgrade in NTTD, it's always so cool when the old school machine guns come out in this scene.
The DB5 has many great scenes such as the "Goldfinger" chase scene in switzerland OR the "GoldenEye" Race scene against the Ferrari, but my personal favourite is the scene from "Skyfall" where James Bond looks at the beautiful scottish landscape. It was a very nice scene that paid hommage to the Goldfinger scene and to that iconic Sean Connery Goldeneye DB5 picture.
I don't know as much about the DB5s as I'd like to. I think there was one in Goldeneye racing a Ferrari F355 on a mountain road. Would love to now more about them, though, especially in that book. I had a brief close encounter with one 20 years ago when a friend was showing me a car he had for sale and there was a DB5 parked next to it in his garage. WOW! I love the Superleggera coachwork. Great channel. Hope to win the book. It looks like just the thing that would interest me - cars and movies!
Favourite scene: it has to be the scene in Scotland on the way to Skyfall that everyone loves. It's so beautifully shot, yet slightly unnerving at the same time
One moment that I enjoyed in Skyfall, when Bond and M start driving to Scotland in the DB5 and Bond flicks up the cover of the ejector seat button, and says to M, "Are you going to complain the whole way?"
My favorite scene with the DB5 is in Skyfall. M is commenting about how uncomfortable it is. And it made me think of the first Porsche I ever sat in. It was fancy, but not comfortable! So that made me laugh, but then Bond threatening her with the ejector seat, very off the cuff and showed their close relationship. They actually bonded and got closer in the DB5.

My favorite scene is the Alpine drive sequence in Goldfinger and that shot of Bond standing next to the DB5 looking down into the valley below. 007 perfection!
Absolutely, love the scene set on the Furka Pass in the Swiss Alps...
The No Time to Die chase, especially the donuts is my favorite DB5 scene. A perfectly choreographed chase for a perfectly designed car.
Straight fax.
I actually just like the scene(s) of Bond tailing Goldfinger in Geneva. From the shots of it being driven in Switzerland, to Bond using the wheels to disable Tilly’s Mustang, the scene’s a favorite of mine!
💙
My favourite scene is the scene in Switzerland (and judging by the other comments I am not the only one who thinks this way)! Sean Connery following Goldfinger just being a spy (and an absolutely cool one, while we're at it) in a gorgeous scenery. The finishing touch is the iconic music we hear in the background!
While I always enjoy seeing the Aston Martin DB5 in a James Bond movie, my favorite scene is in Goldfinger in the Furka Pass. The shot when Bond stops and is standing next to the DB5 looking down to where Goldfinger is stopped is gorgeous. The winding road, the valley, the scenery, the DB5, and Bond himself, everything about that scene is perfect.
From Goldfinger and when he ejects the henchman. Watching that as a kid that was awesome, amd I still do that little flick of the thumb in my car. 😄
The scene in Goldfinger where Bond gives the Mustang a flat tire. I love how we are seeing the DB5 gadgets in action for the first time and Bond is also seeing them in action for the first time. It’s an experience simultaneously shared by both our hero and ourselves. It always makes me feel like I’m in the car with Bond and we are both reacting to these exciting moments together.

I can’t get enough of the NTTD DB5 scene.
Bond always leads the way in stunts and the work that the team did to create the sequence is incredible
The first Bond film I had the chance to see in cinema was Skyfall (2012) and I remember quite vividly to this day when the audience, consisting of both women and men of all ages, gasped in amazement when the DB5 was revealed behind the garage door in London. The shared moment of excitement, nostalgia and awe over an old sports car was a rather nice movie experience where people from all generations were impressed. Nice little memory
I love the scene in No Time To Die where Bond and Madeleine are both sitting in the car while being shot at until he dose the now famous donut. Very tense scene !!
Love the smell of books. Old ones, new ones. They always have such a rich scent.
Skyfall has my favorite DB5 scenes. When he opens the garage door so he and M can switch vehicles, the old school bond music. Love it. Also when they stop along the road. That car with in a misty Scottish setting, talk about gorgeous.
Favourite scene unveiling of DB5 in garage with Daniel Craig pulling off tarp. Wow what a scene. Love it!
My favorite DB5 scene, is part of the Matera sequence when they're cornered in the Town Square. The way they build the tension, as Bond sits there brooding before he finally flips the switch and unleashes those Gatling guns, whilst doing a donut and smirking. Absolute classic!!
Thank you Sir! My favorite scene is the first reveal of the car, when Q explains its features.
The off-the-grid scene from Skyfall. Amazing reveal and beautiful scenery.
Q describing the special features, & Connery's doubletake, "Ejector seat, you're joking!". "I never joke about my work 007" - totally deadpan. British understatement!
Fabulous-looking car.
My favorite DB5 moment is from Goldfinger. When bond is leaning against the car. I have the picture in my office
Great video, David, as always! I just LOVE the Matera/doughnut scene from No Time to Die. Classic Bond moment and so badass!
Favourite scene: Bond & Madeleine trapped in the square, the tension is incredible, followed by the amazing escape. Zimmer’s BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM soundtrack in the background. Wonderful. Great video showing this incredible book. 👍
I always love the drive away “another time, another place” scene in Thunderball. Simple. Classic.
My favorite scene is with Bond saying to Q that he must be joking about the ejector seat and Q responding: "I never joke about my work 007". Brilliant!
My favorite DB5 scene is the whole pre-title sequence of No Time To Die. It really showcases the car and what it can do. My ABSOLUTE favorite part of that scene, is when Bond is doing the donut and the camera cuts to the tachometer bouncing off the rev limiter. As a car guy, that resonates with me on a huge emotional level.
I love the old scenes of Goldfinger especially the Furka Pass sequence.😍
Absolutely stunning car, every bond fan has pretented he's driving the db5 at one point. Or is that just me haha
Guilty as charged, definitely not just you
Having grown up in Switzerland, the mountain pass, Bond following Goldfinger, just gorgeous, the scenery and the car, and seeing that hidden "GPS " tracker screen, just übercool!
Hands down, my favorite scene (I'll rewind and watch it several times) is when Q reveals the new car to Bond in Goldfinger. Love him going thru the features and the back and forth between Q and Bond.
Up until last year I would've said best DB5 scene is in Goldfinger, followed by Goldeneye. But since fall 2021 No Time to die showcases the DB5's finest hour for me.

I love the scene when Ms Masterson is trying to shoot gold finger in the Swiss alps with the sniper rifle. The camera view of Sean and the DB5 in the firing line from above is cool.
My favorite scene was when I first remember seeing the DB5. I remember how cool it was seeing the rear bullet proof shield pop up saving Bond.
Its a simple scene, but my favourite is when he first gets in it in casino royal and goes around the roundabout and says "welcome to my home". It's cheeky, it's playful and the car looks great.
It might be clique however my childhood favourite DB5 Scene is Gold Finger “The Car Chase Scene” Smoke
Screens, Oil slicks and bulletproof shields 🛡 Just awesome 😎 Great videos, many thanks 🙏 for the great content.
As much as I love Craig and him hiding in the DB5 and shooting the baddies in Skyfall, my favorite scene with the car is Brosnan racing the Ferrari at the beginning of Goldeneye. Thank you for the chance and great video!
My favorite scene is in Goldfinger, when Bond presses the ejector seat button and the baddie riding shotgun goes up and out through the roof.
My favourite scene is in Spectre when Bond visits Q's new workshop and sees his DB5 getting restored. It looks so cool without pumpers and headlights.
I love the scene from skyfall where he stands in front of the db5 and M is waiting in the car. It‘s kind of a nod to the famous picture of sean connery standing next to the DB5. You can sense that something bad is gonna happen which is why I love the scene and the car.
Yes… I was fortunate I got that book for Christmas this last year… love it ! nice coffee table book!
My favourite is the original one in Goldfinger when Q introduces it to Bond, ‘I never joke about my work 007’….closely followed by the reveal scene in the garage from Skyfall.
The scene in Goldfinger when Bond pulls into the petrol station in Switzerland with Tilly Masterson is my favorite Aston Martin scene.
I love the moment in Skyfall when Bond opens up his lock up / garage and we see the DB5 with a classic rendition of the Bond theme by Thomas Newman in the background
For me the stand out moment for the DB5 could well be its swansong.... Is the scene in NTTD. Its starts out as Bonds personal grand tourer in the stunning Matera backdrop. But when the call to action is required its he's gadget loaded attack vechicle...When DB5 is being mercilessly hit with constant heavy gunfire, at a flick of a switch the machine guns pop out the headlights... Thats the quintessential Bond car. 👍
I enjoy viewing the glorious presentation of Bond’s super cool Aston Martin in Switzerland’s Urseren Valley, climaxed with the spectacular car chase.
Favourite DB5 moment has to be in Matera when the windows are taking a pounding before Bond clicks into action, Zimmer’s score kicks in, and Bond unleases the gattling guns!
Hello from England
Hi David
I have been a little busy over the last few months having some work done on my house so have not watched any of your videos.
HOWEVER
This video sparks my interest TODAY because i went to my local SAINSBURYS supermarket to do my weekly shop and i parked up and as i was walking towards the entrance to the shop i noticed a DB5 and OMG WOW. I stopped in front of it as the owner got out. He was around mid to late 60's and i said to him "HELLO 007" Of course he laughed.
The car was AWESOME. The plate registration was 4 digits then DB.so i expect that the plate would be worth some £000's if not many.
It just "STOOD OUT" amongst ordinary cars
I so need this book in my Bond library.. so fingers crossed!! 🤞😍 My favourite DB5 scene is definitely the doughnut scene from NTTD.. awesome review as always David.. and this book looks like "a must" for me!! From Istanbul with love my friend. 🙏
Favorite scene has to be the chase through Matera. I gave this some thought because initially I would say the factory chase in goldfinger. However the music the gadgets, quick turns through matera and the donut maneuver literally made my jaw drop when I saw that first trailer. Absolutely stunning
"Oh go on. Eject me!" - M to 007 (Daniel Craig) Skyfall. What a classic car and a line in the movie that encapsulates what Bond's Aston Martin is famous for.
It was incredible to see it come back in Goldeneye and how it was used!
I love all the scenes from the the Connery and brosman eras where bond is just using the db5 as his daily commuter
You just got this? I've had this book for a while and it is great. How did I scoop the great Zaritsky?
My favorite scene is in Goldfinger with Bond, Q and the DB5 in the laboratory for the tutorial use
My favrioite 007 DB5 moment as to be the Italy chase and Donut Square sequence in No Time To Die🔥🔥🔥
There’s so many great scenes over the years. First off as a photographer the photograph of Sean Connery leaning on the DB5 is one of the greatest photographs.
My favorite scene would have to be Casino Royale when he wins the car in a poker game against Alex Dimitrios. Then picks up Dimitrios wife and drives around the resort circle back to his place.
I mean what’s more Bond smooth than that? The whole sequence goes from serious to sexy to funny.
Hey David - looks like an amazing book. Favourite DB5 moment - the gunning down of Silva's commandos parked outside Skyfall Manor
I’m favourite scene with the DB5 is when Bond goes to the his lock up with M (Dame Judy Dench) to get the DB5 and drive M to what he thinks is possibly a safe place….SKYFALL.
The scene where he drives though the night streets of London is Deptford High street which was only a few miles away from where I grew up as a child….when I first saw the scene I knew straight away where it was…..and it’s special for that reason, the scenes in Whitehall are easy for tourists to recognise when visiting central London as they are the normal Tourist attractions…….Trafalgar Sq, Downing St….the Houses of Parliament Big Ben etc……but to see the DB5 drive through the streets of South East London (SE8) is special and is why it’s my favourite DB5 Moment.
Goldfinger is the DB5 and Bond relationship Origin Story and in addition, it's various appearances in that film become intrinsic to how the plot unfolds and lay the foundations for it's iconic status. The alpine scene on the Furka Pass is it's own road movie as well as my favorite DB5 appearance.

I love the Corgi Classics model of the DB5. They always sell out around Xmas. I've got about 8 of their various Bond models. They're parked in front of my Bond books.
It’s for that moment of the DV5 donut so to speak that I watched No Time to Die in the theater 4 times!!!
Vue Cinema UK is showing every Bond film, each Saturday starting this one. I've booked for Goldfinger, so far. The Rolls in that is remarkable. I used to have a toy version of it as a kid- a Corgi or something. They still do them. Wouldn't mind having one as a paperweight or something. I see one and get the old 60's Bond music start playing in my head...
I'm all for the DB5 in the Furka Pass. Breathtaking!
Absolutely love it! Hey David, would you ever review the Daniel Craig's Bond shot by Greg Williams book that you talked about in an old video with behind the scenes shots of Daniel in a dive wetsuit in Jamaica? That would be incredible!
I love the DB5 Mountain Chase scene in Goldeneye. Nothing says Bond like the DB5 and was a great way to into Pierce as the new Bond. This film and this scene will always be special to me as was the movie that got me into Bond.
DREAM CAR!!! Best scene has to be the dounut scene in Matera from NTTD. Beautiful sourondings for a very special car!
For me, the greatest moment was when the DB5 was revealed for the very first time. 1964, Q's workshop and a rather bored James Bond being introduced to a car that the world would love forevermore. …
For me my favourite DB5 scene has to be the ending scene of Spectre where Bond drives off with Madeleine. It was the first Bond movie I saw in a cinema and it made a lasting impression.
For me the best scenes have to be the car chase in No Time To Die. It was my first Bond film in cinema and that action set piece was phenomenal.
I have the book. Great pictures and a good read.
By the way, nice Goldfinger-esque Submariner you're wearing there 👌🏻
Favorite DB5 Scene: During Bond and M's drive to Skyfall lodge. They stop to look at the mountains and M asks Bond about his parents while the DB5 is parked behind them. For me, there is something special about this scene because it is symbolic; the DB5 is and always will play a significant part in Bond's life.
I almost forgot the music bringing the “Bond Experience “ moment into what we know and love about Bond
For me, it’s got to be the DB5 racing the F355 GTS in Goldeneye! We don’t see many gadgets (omitting the highly classy champagne storage), but the way Bond drives feels like it’s straight from Fleming. Racing shifts, hillside hairpins and of course the Brosnan charm and wit throughout - just brilliant!
Favourite scene is in Goldfinger, when Q introduces the car first time to Bond, who takes a disdained view towards it (The Bentley never let me down before). Then we get the gadgets and amazing memories from there on!
I've ordered a copy after seeing your review today.. looks like an awesome book,good quality
I got the Bond Archives Art Edition book recently, this will go nicely hand in hand with it.👌
Chase scene from the beginning of “No Time to Die” was awesome.
Well, where do I start? My favourite scene with the DB5, (and I'm not alone, because this scene has its own book, The Goldfinger Files!) is the scene with the drive through the Alps. The music, the Bond outfit, the scenery ...oh, and the car. Class...
Thanks for the review. This book is a very cool must-have for any Bond or exotic car fan.
I like the Aston Martin DB5 scene in No Time To Die because it brings back the legendary DB5. This is a throwback scene to Goldfinger when Bond had all of the gadgets from the car such as the Ejector Seat, Smoke Screen and Front Wing Machine Guns.
The Aston Martin DB5 has been more upgraded in No Time To Die with a brand-new Italian registration plate, a pair of Miniguns behind the front headlights and even Bombs that can also be deployed at the back of the car giving Bond a lot more firepower at his disposal.
Useful aids for 007 as he finds himself in a raging car chase through the streets of Matera Italy. The classic DB5 is never away from the inevitable action that follows James Bond wherever he goes.
The Aston Martin DB5 is the most famous car in cinema history!
I love the scene where Bond drives Tilly Masterson to the service station after blowing out her tires. True, the Aston Martin doesn't perform any tricks, but it does handle well while providing a smooth ride. There's something unique for the franchise yet curiously emblematic in the interplay between the dismissive Tilly (who's not buying into Bond's charms) and Connery's cheery conviviality blended with a slightly sinister undertone as he questions/interrogates her about the contents of the case on the dash.
Imo the DB5 is the greatest car ever made. It looks gorgeous. The interior is beautiful. It’s classic and iconic car.
When Bond is trying to escape from Goldfinger's factory and the old lady opens fire on him with a machine gun.
I am in the process of building an Aston Martin db5 replica based on the BMW Z3 platform. The book is an excellent reference material for my project.
For me it is probably the chase scene between the DB5 and the Ferrari 355 i Goldeneye. Fun, light hearted and that epic 80’s-90’s music.
Although a newer film comparatively speaking, my favorite DB5 scene is in Skyfall when James pretends to go and eject M from the seat. I think its such a great moment where they both show their personalities and somehow their affection towards eachother even with everything going on.
My favorite DB5 scene is the reveal in skyfall when it shows up and the bond theme kicks in
Oh i get goosebumps every time
I enjoyed this book, quite the coffee table book with large clear photos. Favorite scene, driving around Geneva following Goldfinger, or is it when Daniel Craig pulls out of the garage with M in Skyfall...so very difficult.
My favorite DB5 scene is in Skyfall when Bond hides in it and ambushes Silva's men! As much as I like the upgrade in NTTD, it's always so cool when the old school machine guns come out in this scene.
The DB5 has many great scenes such as the "Goldfinger" chase scene in switzerland OR the "GoldenEye" Race scene against the Ferrari, but my personal favourite is the scene from "Skyfall" where James Bond looks at the beautiful scottish landscape. It was a very nice scene that paid hommage to the Goldfinger scene and to that iconic Sean Connery Goldeneye DB5 picture.
Hey David; mine was the classic Goldfinger introduction by the late great Desmond Llewelyn :) Take care
I don't know as much about the DB5s as I'd like to. I think there was one in Goldeneye racing a Ferrari F355 on a mountain road. Would love to now more about them, though, especially in that book. I had a brief close encounter with one 20 years ago when a friend was showing me a car he had for sale and there was a DB5 parked next to it in his garage. WOW! I love the Superleggera coachwork. Great channel. Hope to win the book. It looks like just the thing that would interest me - cars and movies!
Wow looks amazing. Your mic is a bit muffled here though
Hello! I like when he picks up the car at the garage in Skyfall!
Favourite scene: it has to be the scene in Scotland on the way to Skyfall that everyone loves. It's so beautifully shot, yet slightly unnerving at the same time
Awesome video.
Just finished the book. A great purchase!
One moment that I enjoyed in Skyfall, when Bond and M start driving to Scotland in the DB5 and Bond flicks up the cover of the ejector seat button, and says to M, "Are you going to complain the whole way?"
My favorite scene with the DB5 is in Skyfall. M is commenting about how uncomfortable it is. And it made me think of the first Porsche I ever sat in. It was fancy, but not comfortable! So that made me laugh, but then Bond threatening her with the ejector seat, very off the cuff and showed their close relationship. They actually bonded and got closer in the DB5.
