'80s Movie Gadgets You Know You Wanted
From A Time-Traveling Car To The Ultimate 'Gadget'
|
The 1980s were a magical time for cinema. It was the time of awesome storytelling and some of the most stunning filmmaking ever.
After all, who can forget such gems as "Earth Girls Are Easy" or "Bachelor Party"?
And for all the awesome movies, some even included gadgets that became the standout stars. Some of those devices have become icons of the films in which they appeared, and even the '80s itself.
It would be easy to just rattle off some of the tools from James Bond movies (like the Casio video watch in 1983's "Octopussy"), but those are in a category all their own. These are the gadgets from the mainstream movies that as soon as they showed up on the screen, we wanted them.
And don't deny it -- you know you wanted them, too.
