These 9 Spy Gadgets from Movies Are Cooler Than Anything in Real Life (2 of 5)

The Umbrella Gun Kingsman: The Secret Service

No one made umbrellas cool until Colin Firth showed the world how it’s done by using one as a bulletproof shield and a gun. In Kingsman, the gentleman-spy look got an upgrade with weapons stashed in designer accessories. This isn’t just a fancy parasol. The umbrella has a polished chestnut handle, smoke mode, stun mode, and can even stream a live video feed. Throw in the zapping signet ring and a poisoned fountain pen, and you’ve basically got Q Branch inside your coat pocket.

Batman’s Memory Cloth Cape Batman Begins

Batman’s gadget arsenal could undeniably be its own top-10 list, but let’s focus on one of the Dark Knight‘s most underrated devices the memory cloth cape. In Batman Begins, Lucius Fox gives Bruce a cape made of experimental fabric that stiffens into glider wings when electrified. That’s right, it turns Batman into a human bat soaring across Gotham. Throw in his iconic grappling hook, Batarangs, and the badass Tumbler tank-mobile, and you’ve got one of the most overprepared vigilantes in cinema history.
