James Bond is known for his cool, innovative gadgets that help get him out of jams, but he's also had his fair share of lame ones over the years.

In honor of the release of Spectre, the 24th Bond film, we're taking a look back at some of the lamest gadgets the iconic spy has utilized through the first 23 films. After all, with 23 films and many precarious situations, they can't all be winners.
