Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Which British film studio has become synonymous with the Bond series?

Answer: Pinewood

"Interview with the Vampire", "Mission: Impossible", "The Fifth Element" and "Tomb Raider" were also made there.
2. Which Bond novel was written in the first person?

Answer: The Spy Who Loved Me

Written from the perspective of the character Vivienne Michel, who is not in the film. Actually, hardly anything from the book is in the film. Bond himself doesn't appear in the book that much, either!
3. On which Mediterranean island was the Lotus chase filmed in "The Spy Who Loved Me"?

Answer: Sardinia

Sardinia is the second largest island in the Mediterranean. Sicily is the largest.
4. Which indie band submitted a title song for "Tomorrow Never Dies" but were rejected?

Answer: Pulp

They recorded the song anyway and re-titled it "Tomorrow Never Lies". This was supposed to be the original title for the film but was changed due to a typing error! The song can be found on Pulp's CD single "Help The Aged", available on Island Records, Cat. No. CID679. Jon Bon Jovi was also asked to submit a song for the film. Whether he did or not remains unknown.
5. How many Bond scores did John Barry write?

Answer: 11

It's quicker to list the ones he didn't write! "Live And Let Die" - George Martin. "The Spy Who Loved Me" - Marvin Hamlisch. "For Your Eyes Only" - Bill Conti. "Licence To Kill" - Michael Kamen. "Goldeneye" - Eric Serra. See next question for the last three.
6. Which composer is fast earning himself the title of "The Next John Barry", at least as far as Bond movies go?

Answer: David Arnold

David Arnold wrote the scores for "Tomorrow Never Dies", "The World Is Not Enough" and the 20th Bond movie "Die Another Day". He's got my vote. He also scored "Stargate", "Independence Day" and re-recorded many old Bond themes in his style on a CD called, "Shaken And Stirred". He comes from Luton in England.
7. Which Bond villain's real name was Zbigniew Krycsiwiki?

Answer: Jaws

According to the novelization of the movie written by Christopher Wood, who also co-wrote the film, Jaws is Polish and his real name is Zbigniew Krycsiwiki. It was the first of the Bond movies to be novelized. The character Jaws was played by Ricahrd Kiel.
8. Kingsley Amis wrote the first Bond novel four years after Ian Fleming died, but what pen name did he use?

Answer: Robert Markham

It was called "Colonel Sun" and began a year after the events chronicled in "The Man With The Golden Gun". The others are: Richard Bachman - Stephen King. Paul French - Isaac Asimov. John Riverside - Robert A. Heinlein.
9. Which star was first considered for the role of Bond when Sean Connery announced that he would not be returning after "Diamonds Are Forever"?

Answer: Burt Reynolds

MGM wanted Burt Reynolds for the role but EON were adamant that Bond had to be played by a British actor. That'd be George Lazenby out, then. Tom Selleck was the first choice for Indiana Jones.
10. What nationality, according to Ian Fleming, was James Bond?

Answer: Scottish

He had a Scottish father called Andrew, and a French mother called Monique Delacroix. Bond has been played by a Scot, Sean Connery; an Australian, George Lazenby; an Englishman, Roger Moore; a Welshman, Timothy Dalton; and last, but most definitely not least, an Irishman, Pierce Brosnan.
11. Who was James Bond's secretary?

Answer: Loelia Ponsonby

She was certainly in the books but I'm not sure if she was ever mentioned in the films. Lois Maxwell played Miss Moneypenny, who was M's secretary. Penelope Smallbone was Miss Moneypenny's assistant in "Octopussy".
12. Here's a character that I think only appeared in the books. Who was Bond's housekeeper?

Answer: May

She was a gray-haired Scottish old lady who fussed over Bond whenever he was home. He lived in a flat in Chelsea, London.
13. The extras of which Bond movie were paid $20 and a beer?

Answer: The soldiers collapsing under nerve gas in "Goldfinger"

Wonder how much Connery got?
14. When she told Bond her name, he replied, "I must be dreaming". Which Bond girl was it?

Answer: Pussy Galore

How did they get away with some of these names? Pussy Galore - "Goldfinger". Plenty O'Toole - "Diamonds Are Forever". Holly Goodhead - "Moonraker". Xenia Onatopp - "Goldeneye".
15. Caroline Cossey, who played a Bond girl at the pool under her stage name Tula in "For Your Eyes Only", was originally a man. Is that true or false?

Answer: True

She was originally a man called Barry before having a sex change. She was also an ex "3-2-1" hostess.
16. What was the only Bond film, up to and including "The World Is Not Enough", that actually featured the performer in the opening title sequence?

Answer: For Your Eyes Only

Sheena Easton can quite clearly be seen singing her song in the opening title sequence. She had most of her clothes on, though.
17. Monica Van Der Syl forged her place in the Bond world by doing what?

Answer: She dubbed Ursula Andress in "Dr. No"

She also dubbed Claudine Auger in "Thunderball". The gold-painted girl was Shirley Eaton.
18. Which rock star recorded a version of "The Man With The Golden Gun"?

Answer: Alice Cooper

It was on Alice Cooper's "Muscle Of Love" album, which he claims the movie's producers turned down. The producers deny ever having commissioned the song.
19. What is the name of the bogus company Bond says he works for?

Answer: Universal Exports

He uses this name as a front in both the films and the books.
20. What is the name of the ski resort where Bond meets Locke for the first time in "For Your Eyes Only"?
