The James Bond opening theme tune is the most iconic theme in action films. It starts slow but increases in tempo as various instruments join in, giving the audience a sense of adrenaline. The main musical instruments used in this famous theme are trombones, trumpets, saxophones, and bass guitar. There is only one sound effect used - a gunshot fired before the major instruments begin playing.
