1. The umbrella that understands the need to look dapper while saving the world
The sleek, stylish umbrella takes center stage in Kingsman: The Secret Service with its wide black canopy, polished chestnut handle, and a gold-plated cover discreetly embossed with the ‘K’ logo. Although it comes in handy when for shielding against the rainy London weather, the deadly weapon is best used as a translucent bulletproof shield and stunning opponents, if the occasion calls for it.
2. The hacking program that brings new meaning to "you can run but you can't hide"
Able to hack any camera-based technology and satellite tracking, The God's Eye in Fast & Furious 7 obtains video sources from cell phones, surveillance cameras and such to swiftly locate a specific person, wherever they are in the world. If you're looking for the best of face recognition technology, the God's Eye is as thorough as they come.
3. The completely see-through smartphone
The Tony Stark Device's see-through display in The Avengers: Age Of Ultron takes smartphones to a whole new level: while the device functions like any other phone to make calls and retrieve information, it is also used to upload holographic images and transfer a huge amount of data. The device is ultra-secure as it has a fingerprint sensor at the bottom right and can only be accessed by high-ranking employees of Stark Industries.

Jurassic World's gyrospheres come complete with a built-in computer monitor to identify the prehistoric wildlife that can be observed, and they are programmed to automatically roll backwards towards a safe distance when coming too close to an animal. Its safety features include its bulletproof glass, which is believed to be able to protect riders from the venomous spit of the Dilophosaurus as well.

Think Mad Max: Fury Road and the first thing that'll come to mind is the array of insane rides. Sure, The Interceptor is cool and all but who could forget the Doof Wagon? The "sonic carmageddon", with an astounding stack of 60 speakers and air-conditioning ducts serving as drums, comes complete with a mobile stage and a mounted bungee cord.

6. The unusual lightsaber
In Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Kylo Ren's lightsaber appears different than the sabers previously seen used by the likes of Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader. The lightsaber, with a main red blade and 2 energy vents on either side resembling a crossguard, is based on an ancient design.
