In the James Bond film The Living Daylights (1987), during the customary trip into Q's workshop, loud music is heard emanating from a large portable stereo carried on the shoulder of a technician. A missile then fires from the end of the stereo at a human dummy target, which is destroyed by the resulting explosion. Q turns to Bond and says, "It's something we're developing for the Americans. It's called a ghettoblaster."
