Scroll down to see if Get Smart made the cut, then leave your faves in the comments section below. or that break down in the wonder of hindsight. Here, then, is my entirely subject list of laugh-out-loud gadget lust in 007-esque movies-mostly from spoofs, but plenty from more "serious" flicks that simply missed the mark.

And the new Get Smart, with the return of the classic shoe phone, plus the addition of a tooth radio and what might be the world's most insane multipurpose tool since the one that graced the cover of Popular Mechanics last year, represents that evolving combination of contraptions both ludicrous and hilarious. Perhaps in spite of Bond's near perfection, or because Peter Sellers took satirical ops to such new heights, or just as the world gets increasingly obsessed with shiny new toys, Hollywood's spy genre has developed more laughs in conjunction with more high-tech gear. But Daniel Craig is no longer the silver screen's only secret agent with supped-up technology-Steve Carell's got exploding dental floss, for crying out loud!
#MOVIES WITH SPY AGENT MICHEAL ASTIN TV#
From Bunsen-burner phones and steering-wheel phones to watch cameras (thank you, Dick Tracy) and briefcase guns (you're welcome, Desperado), the original program parodied the tedious impracticality of spy gizmos better than anything on TV before or since. Maxwell Smart has always been something of an anti-Bond: For every Sean Connery mission gone right, there was a Don Adams mishap-and-a-half. One of Hollywood's most classic geeks-a man as gadget hungry as he is clumsy, as surprisingly suave as he is accident-prone-crashes back into theaters today with Get Smart, an adaptation that does the 1960s cult TV hit justice in both the knee-slapping and shoe-talking departments.
