Movie Concepts You Won't Believe Exist In Real Life

MI6's Spy Gadgets

MI6 is the United Kingdom’s foreign intelligence service, but most individuals know it as the employer of the fictional super-spy James Bond. In many of the movies, Q, the director of the MI6 research and development division, shows Bond the various gadgets he will be using on a given mission. Given that Dr. No came out in 1962, some of MI6’s spy gadgets may actually be obsolete by now, but others are still in development. Some gadgets, however, like various miniaturized cameras that can be built into sunglasses or rings, exist in the present day. Bond used a Cybershot camera phone in 2006’s Casino Royale, and Sony still sells them. Underwater cameras were shown in Thunderball and have since become a reality. Fingerprint and facial recognition scanners are now real, and law enforcement often uses the latter.
