Secret Agent Technology

I hoped to listen to more discussions about new tech that was real during the 1950s, 1960s, etc to sort of put a realistic retrospect on the James Bond tech. For example the jet pack from Thunderball. A similar jet pack was at Disneyland around the same time period and at the Rose Parade a couple years ago. Same guy from the Rose Parade also dressed as Boba Fett for a Star Wars Convention. I'm pretty sure I saw a television program about real old spy gadgets maybe from Modern Marvels.

I also wanted to point out how recent films when they get renewed, they seem to add new tech in the updated versions.

Mission: Impossible
iSpy
Secret Agent Man/Danger Man
Wild Wild West
Get Smart
Charlie's Angels
The Avengers
Johnny English
XXX
The Tuxedo
Agent Cody Banks
The Goonies
Iron Man
Batman

Fletch is not gadget-heavy, but is "secret agent" enough with disguises.
