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

Austin Powers’ Shaguar Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery

Yeah, baby! Remember the psychedelic red, white, and blue Jaguar convertible, affectionately called the “Shaguar?” Of course you do! Sure, it looks a bit vintage, but it had an autopilot function and a bulletproof windshield. Because even when you’re busy being groovy, you still gotta dodge bullets. Also, Austin’s dad’s Mini Cooper turned into a submarine, and his backpack doubled as a helicopter. Or was that Inspector Gadget?

The Pasiv Device Inception

In Inception, stealing secrets from someone’s dreams sounds like sci-fi until you see this mind-bending gadget. A briefcase with wires and sedatives serves as a link for multiple minds to share someone’s dream, where time is just a suggestion and gravity is nothing but a mind trick. It’s trippy, it’s terrifying, and maybe even too real. MIT researchers have been tinkering with a dream-influencing device called Dormio, which uses audio cues to alter dreams in real time. So yeah, don’t dream too big, or someone will snatch those ideas straight from your mind!
