Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What was the first "James Bond" film?

Answer: Dr. No

Would you believe that Noel Coward was offered the part of Dr. No? Coward's response: "No. No No." Joseph Wiseman ended up playing the villain. "Casino Royale" was not a "Bond" film, but a spoof starring Woody Allen.

2. For which "Bond" film would the following premise fit? Harlem Crime Boss, Mr. Big, plots to have a billion dollars worth of heroin brought to the U.S. from the Caribbean.

Answer: Live and Let Die

An interesting premise where improbably every person living in Harlem is somehow associated with Mr. Big's scheme. Jane Seymour starred alongside Roger Moore in his first "Bond" film.

3. Christopher Lee, better known today as Saruman in "The Lord of the Rings", was in which "Bond" film?

Answer: The Man with the Golden Gun

This film also starred Herve Villechaize as Nick Nack, undoubtedly the inspiration to Mini Me in the "Austin Powers" films. Herve later went on to play Tattoo on "Fantasy Island".

4. Which artist/group did NOT sing a theme song for a "Bond" film?

Answer: Peggy Lee

Of course, Paul McCartney sang the theme song to "Live and Let Die". Nancy is known for "You Only Live Twice". A-Ha amazingly did the theme song for "The Living Daylights".

5. Which of the following is not the name of a vixen in a "Bond" film?

Answer: Incontinentia Buttocks

Hope you got a chuckle off that one. Incontinentia Buttocks is the referred to wife of Biggus Dickus in "Life of Brian".

6. Which famous children's literature writer was credited as the screenwriter for "You Only Live Twice"?

Answer: Roald Dahl

What range! In addition to children's literature, Dahl wrote horror novels, cookbooks and erotica.

7. The character Jaws, played by Richard Kiel, first appeared in "Moonraker".

Answer: False

Jaws appears first in "The Spy Who Loved Me" (1977) and then in "Moonraker", where he becomes friends with James.

8. In how many films did Lois Maxwell play Miss Moneypenny?

Answer: 14

Lois played Miss Moneypenny more than any other actress. Caroline Bliss played Miss Moneypenny in two films: "The Living Daylights" and "License to Kill". Samantha Bond played the character in four films, and Pamela Salem played Miss Moneypenny in only one film: "Never Say Never Again".

9. Bernard Lee was the only actor to play M.

Answer: False

Bernard Lee played M in 10 films. Other actors to play M were Robert Brown, who oddly enough played Admiral Hargreaves in "The Spy Who Loved Me" alongside Lee, and Judy Dench who has played M in all of the Pierce Brosnan "Bond" films so far.

10. How many years passed after "License to Kill" with Timothy Dalton before James Bond was resurrected with Pierce Brosnan in "Goldeneye"?

Answer: 6

Perhaps a womanizing intelligence operative just wasn't in fashion in the early nineties, but "Goldeneye" successfully changed all that in 1995. Honestly, I prefer my Bond bad-to-the-bone. I hope you liked this quiz.
