Default James Bond 007

Does anyone know what jet the modified for the new James Bond movie. It was a nice concept idea. What I mean is that when I saw it it looked like a real jet that could be coming out. Any ideas what it was based on?

FYI if you haven't seen it go. It's the best one yet. It's long. But a GREAT Bond movie!

747.
Also, I don't know how you can possibly say it's the best Bond movie yet when it's not even a Bond movie. It's a semi-decent action movie in disguise as a Bond movie.

Why is it not a bond movie? It's the original bond story just put in modern time. The actor is the best bond I've ever seen and to be honest I could do without a car that turns into a submarine and a guy who throws a hat to decapitate.

I liked Sean Connery, he had style. Have yet to see the new one though.

I have yet to see the movie, but is this the airplane you're referring to?

Daniel Craig isn't Bond. Sean Connery is Bond. Connery is classy, whereas Craig is just some macho playboy. You never would have seen Connery (or even Moore and the other, lesser Bonds) running after a bad guy the way that Craig did. Bond doesn't play poker (much less Texas Hold-'em), and he DEFINITELY cares how his martini is prepared.
Regardless of whether you could live without the nifty gadgets, the gadgets are what make a Bond film a Bond film. Hell, I didn't even see Q in the movie!
You want a good Bond film, let's talk about Goldfinger or From Russia With Love.

Ummm but this bond came before those. Eventhough it was set in modern times it was actually created for a much ealier date. The movie was showing how bond became bond. The lower technology, street smarts, roughness. Daniel Craig is very classy. And macho playboy???? Aren't they all? I hate the stupid overuse of gadgets. An invisible car? A laser beam from outer space? Give me a break. This was the ebst story I've seen and I've seen em all.

I liked this movie the most - very cold 007 - they way Ian created him. My B@!!s still hurt from watching the torture scene. Ouch!!!

Casino Royale
Goldfinger
From Russia with Love

The rest of the movies are worthless...

I have to admit. I squermed. Then laughed when I saw him in the wheelchair with a cloth over his member hehe.

Multipilot that is it! Thanks for posting the picture. I dunno why but I like the idea. I hadn't seen it before and considered it creative for a movie. They went all out. I wonder if doing engines like that would cut drag?
