Lot Essay

This style of harpoon gun is seen in the film in the dramatic sequence on Sanchez's yacht, when Bond [Timothy Dalton] uses a harpoon to shoot a diver who killed Bond's friend, Sharkey [Frank McRae]. The harpoons are next seen in the ensuing underwater fight and again, when Bond improvises with one as a handle at the end of a tow rope as he makes his escape on water-skis.
