Answer: Emilio Largo from "Thunderball"

Answer: Auric Goldfinger

One of the most famous lines from all Bond films is when Connery is strapped to the table with the laser:
007: "Do you expect me to talk?"
Auric: "No Mr. Bond! I expect you to die!"

13. In "Austin Powers: Goldmember", the film opens with an Austin Spoof featuring Tom Cruise, Gwenyth Paltrow, Danny DeVito, and others. What is the name of this movie, similar to a Bond one?

Answer: Austinpussy

The spoofs begin to compound here. The parody on Austin doubles as a parody on "Octopussy".

Answer: A bulletproof shield from "Thunderball"

Austins car also has a bulletproof shield which protects the back windshield from pursuing enemies. If only 007 had had it in "On Your Majesty's Secret Service" then his wife may have lived.

Answer: Same plot is used in "AP: International Man of Mystery"
