Thunderball Gadgets

Underwater Vehicles

Picture
They were described as ‘Sleds’, but in many respects the brilliant underwater-scooter-boat-jet-ski thing was overshadowed by the spear-guns flying everywhere and the reds vs blues underwater fight ballet.
Jordan Klein was responsible for the sequences, the forty divers, the camera crew and all of the other equipment required to shoot the montages that would go together to make one of the time classic movie scenes and the dramatic music only added to the event.

Spear Gun

The lightweight aluminium SpearGun by Sporasub has three main components. The barrel is equipped with an integrated shaft guide towards the head and a cuttlebone-shaped -belly- towards the handle. The camouflage design and high quality materials used in construction prices the gun at around £256 and it also comes in four different model designs.
