Net Together
Weekend Web PickTHEIR DESCRIPTION: "My name is Bond, James Bond", was a quote that every cinemaphile remembers. But, how many of you remember the company in every Bond film-"Universal Exports". The web site is named after the company and the webmaster has spent an inordinate amount of time and money making this website "007" authentic. I didn't realize that the Bond Films spanned a whole generation. I saw DR.NO in a Brooklyn movie house in 1962. Be prepared to devote several hours to this site. 1.3.97

Special thanks to Sven Thomas for translating the German review.

Universal Exports has also been mentioned in the British film magazine, Empire, on North Country Public Radio, in USA Today and on Chuo FM Radio, Ottowa.
The site also received the following writeup in the New Zealand TV Guide, "Long Time Bond Site: This site has been going online since 1996 and it continues to be a rich resource for Bond backgrounders and trivia. There's even an analysis of what Sigmund Freud might make of Bond's exploits."
Net Guide New Zealand voted Universal Exports one of its top 50 overall movie sites and wrote, "As any true Bond fan will tell you, Universal Exports is the "front" for his real employer. This site is devoted to just about everything Bond-related. Read about gadgets used in the films, locations where scenes were shot, Bond collectables, the various Bond satires, asn some of the lesser known facts. There's also a message board and chatroom, and an invitation to submit ideas for what you'd like to see on the site."
