Thanks for taking our quiz. You answered 76% of the questions correctly.
Spot on, M! This is the sort of thorough attention to detail we need from our administrative branch — particularly if we’re going to take on everyone from SPECTRE to the Soviets to madmen bent on world destruction. Too bad you’re not a double-oh, though. So much more fun. But that requires a 100 percent score.
1. Where did author Ian Fleming come up with the name “James Bond”?
Correct
The correct answer is C: Ian Fleming got the name James Bond from one of his favorite books, “Birds of the West Indies.” Fleming said he wanted “a really flat, quiet name” and James Bond fit the bill.
2. For the first three films, the man who appears in the “gun barrel sequence,” which start the films, was not Sean Connery. Who was he?
Correct
The correct answer is A: Stuntman Bob Simmons was the man in the gun sites for the first three Bond films. He was a stunt double for Sean Connery and stayed with the franchise in various stunt capacities until “A View to a Kill” in 1985. He died in 1988.
3. In “Dr. No,” what prompts Bond to introduce himself as “Bond. James Bond” at the baccarat table?
Correct
The correct answer is B: A woman introduces herself as “Trench. Sylvia Trench.” Here’s the complete dialogue:
Bond: I admire your courage, Miss...?
Trench: Trench. Sylvia Trench. I admire your luck, Mr...?
Bond: Bond. James Bond.
4. In “Goldfinger,” Bond tells Jill Masterson that drinking Dom Perignon ’53 above 38 degrees is as bad as...?
C. “Drinking Dom Perignon ’63 at any temperature” is not correct.
The correct answer is D: Bond felt that drinking Dom Perignon ’53 above 38 degrees was as bad as listening to the Beatles without earmuffs. This was when they were still “mop-tops” known for their “yeah yeah yeah” music. Before they became, well, bigger than Bond.
5. What is Bond’s response when Honor Blackman introduces herself as Pussy Galore?
Correct
The correct answer is A: “I must be dreaming.” Connery gives a great line reading, too.
6. Although Ernst Blofeld, the head of SPECTRE, was seen petting a cat in most early Bond films, in which film do we first see his face?
Correct
The correct answer is C: Blofeld’s face was first seen, with a scar down the eye, in “You Only Live Twice.” Donald Pleasance got the honor.
7. Which is the first movie where Bond does NOT wear a fedora during the gun barrel sequence?
C. “Diamonds are Forever” (1971) is not correct.
The correct answer is D: Bond finally loses his fedora in the gun barrel sequence in “Live and Let Die,” the first Roger Moore film. A few times in the ‘80s, Moore carried a fedora into Miss Moneypenny’s office, but he never wore one.
8. At the end of the pre-title sequence in “On Her Majesty’s Secret Service,” Bond (George Lazenby) looks at the camera and says...what?
Correct
The correct answer is B: Lazenby said, “This never happened to the other fellow.” The “this,” by the way, is being ditched by a girl.
9. Bond marries near the end of “On Her Majesty’s Secret Service,” but his wife is killed on their honeymoon. Name two Bond films that reference this marriage.
C. “Octopussy” (1983) and “A View to a Kill” (1985) is not correct.
The correct answer is D: At the beginning of “For Your Eyes Only,” Bond is seen putting flowers on the grave of Tracy Bond, and in “License to Kill,” Felix Leiter tells his wife that Bond had once been married.
10. What is the name of the CIA agent who appears in nine Bond movies?
Correct
The correct answer is C: Felix Leiter is the CIA agent who helps Bond from time to time. For the record, he’s been played by eight different actors: Jack Lord (“Dr. No”), Cec Linder (“Goldfinger”), Rik Van Nutter (“Thunderball”), Norman Burton (“Diamonds are Forever”), David Hedison (“Live and Let Die” and “License to Kill”), Bernie Casey (“Never Say Never Again”), John Terry (“The Living Daylights”) and now Jeffrey Wright (“Casino Royale”).
11. In 1970, the producers of the Bond series decided to retool. In what fundamental way were they going to change James Bond?
Correct
The correct answer is A: The Bond producers were contemplating making Bond an American, and considered both Adam West and Burt Reynolds for the part. At one point, TV actor John Gavin was even signed for “Diamonds are Forever” but was set aside when Connery agreed to return. Gavin had to settle for becoming U.S. ambassador to Mexico during the Reagan administration.
12. In the first Roger Moore movies, Bond does not smoke cigarettes. What does he do instead?
Correct
The correct answer is A: In his first few movies as Bond, Roger Moore smokes cigars. Then he gives up all forms of oral fixation. Insert your own joke here.
13. What characteristic does the villain Francisco Scaramanga in “The Man with the Golden Gun” share with a character on “The Simpsons”?
Correct
The correct answer is C: Francisco Scaramanga has a superfluous third nipple — just like Krusty the Klown.
14. What happens to Bond during the pre-title sequence in “Moonraker”?
Correct
The correct answer is A: He gets pushed out of a plane without a parachute. For my money, it’s the best Bond opening ever.
15. In the 21 official Bond movies, the actress playing the Bond girl has been older than the actor playing Bond two times. What did these actresses have in common?
B. They both died at the end of their respective Bond movies is not correct.
The correct answer is A: Both Honor Blackman (37 to Connery’s 34 at the time of “Goldfinger”) and Diana Rigg (31 to George Lazenby’s 30 at the time of “On Her Majesty’s Secret Service”) starred in the BBC series “The Avengers.”
16. What future Academy Award-winning actor plays Dario, Sanchez’s sadistic henchman in “License to Kill” (1989)?
Correct
The correct answer is D: Benicio del Toro plays Dario. He’s quite good. “Don’t worry. We gave her a nice honeymoooooon.”
17. Which of the following insults does the new “M” (Judi Dench) NOT call Bond in “Goldeneye”?
Correct
The correct answer is D: M does not call Bond a dandy.
18. When Bond visits Q in “Die Another Day,” what gadget from a previous Bond film does he toy with?
Correct
The correct answer is B: Besides the jet pack from “Thunderball,” he also picks up Rosa Klebb’s deadly shoe from “From Russia with Love.” Meanwhile, in Cuba, he also flipped through the book “Birds of the West Indies,” which we all know, if we’ve been reading these answers, was one of Ian Fleming’s favorite books, and the inspiration for the name “James Bond.”
19. In 2006’s “Casino Royale,” Danish actor Mads Mikkelson plays Bond’s baccarat nemesis Le Chiffre. What other two actors have played Le Chiffre?
B. Peter Sellers and Woody Allen is not correct.
The correct answer is A: In a 1954 TV version of “Casino Royale” with American Barry Nelson playing Jimmy Bond, Peter Lorre was cast as Le Chiffre; and in the 1967 “Casino Royale” send-up starring David Niven, Orson Welles played Le Chiffre.
20. If by “country” we mean the birth country of the actress, and if by “Bond girl” we mean only the girl with whom Bond winds up at the end of the movie, which country has produced the most Bond girls in the 21 official Bond films?
Correct
The correct answer is A: Although the first American Bond girl, Jill St. John, didn’t come along until 1971, there have now been more American-born actresses cast in the part than actresses from any other country. The international rundown:
America: 7
England: 4
France: 3
Sweden: 2
Switzerland: 1
Italy: 1
Japan: 1
Poland: 1
Malaysia: 1
21. Which of the following vehicles has Bond NOT driven during the series?
B. A double-decker bus is not correct.
The correct answer is D: An Edsel. Bond drives a Russian tank in “Goldeneye,” a double-decker bus in “Live and Let Die” and an oil tanker in “License to Kill.”
22. Which of the following singers did NOT sing a James Bond title song?
Correct
The correct answer is H: Elton John never sang a Bond theme song. The others are pretty much in chronological order.
23. Which of the following actors has NOT played a Bond villain?
Correct
The correct answer is G: Rutger Hauer has never played a Bond villain.
24. Which is NOT the name of a Bond girl?
Correct
The correct answer is C: Tatania Sugarbowl. Honey Ryder is from “Dr. No,” Mary Goodnight is from “The Man with the Golden Gun,” and Holly Goodhead (Dr. Holly Goodhead) is from “Moonraker.”
25. Which of the following puns did Bond NOT use after killing someone?
Correct
The correct answer is B: “I think he got the point” is from “Thunderball,” “Bon appetit” is from “You Only Live Twice” (and “The Living Daylights”), and “He always did have an inflated opinion of himself” is from “Live and Let Die.” “Not the time to lose one’s head” is something Austin Powers says in the Bond satire “Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery.”
