The Sunbeam Alpine featured in Dr. No is significant to Bond aficionados because it is the first time audiences see Bond driving his "own" (although portrayed as a hire-car) vehicle, as opposed to a car commandeered from a foe.
Professor Dent creeps into the darkened bedroom and fires six shots into the bundle of pillows and sheets Bond has arranged on the bed.
As the professor aims his pistol at 007, Connery calmly utters one of the best lines of the film: "It's a Smith & Wesson. And you've had your six." -- before killing Dent and blowing the smoke from his gun's barrel.
Honey Ryder emerging from the ocean in a white bikini with her hunting knife, taking off her diving mask and singing "Underneath the Mango Tree" as the sun shines on her wet blonde hair, is considered a classic James Bond moment and is one of the most popular scenes in cinematic history.
HONEY: My father was a marine zoologist. We came to the Caribbean for him to study seashells. Then one day, he came to Crab Key, and I never saw him again. They said he must have drowned, but he was far too good a diver for that to happen to him.
They are taken to Dr. No's radioactive-decontamination chamber, where they are sprayed with a white foamy substance and given a short rub-down with a long-handled broom. When the levels of radiation are still too high, they are ordered out of their clothes and put onto a conveyor belt that takes them through a series of showers.
Honey points out sea tulips, which only live at depths of more than 200 feet, suggesting Dr. No's lair is located deep beneath the sea.
