Mustangs pop up frequently in Bond films - early models featured in both Goldfinger and Thunderball - and here, the massive Mach I shows its paces in Bond's most dramatic car chase to date, out-witting the inept Las Vegas police as he drives over the roofs of parked cars and goes on two wheels down a narrow back alley. In a famous continuity error, the car was filmed entering the alley on one pair of wheels - then exiting on the opposite side. There is a memorable moon buggy chase too, and a brief appearance of a then new Triumph Stag. Connery returned for a one million dollar fee for this film, and donated the money to the Scottish National Party, despite not living in Scotland.
