Thunderball’s jetpack (1965). Rejected by the US military. Impractical – would have had to be stored on the roof for 24 hours before needed.

Radioactive pocket lint in On Her Majesty’s Secret Service (1969). GPS dust, essentially.

Licence to Kill’s laser-firing Polaroid camera (1989). If the bad guys take your gun, they’re bound to let you keep your camera…

Moonraker’s hovercraft gondola (1979). It traverses St Mark’s Square, causing a pigeon to double-take. Yes. A pigeon.
