So You Live to "Die Another Day" Quiz

Answer: A bell, like the kind that goes ding dong

After James battles Colonel Moon on the hovercraft, he escapes by leaping on to a rope attached to a large metal pole thing that hits the large bell and emits a very loud sound. This might explain why he is then captured by a large number of the North Korean Army. One would imagine that "bing-bong" would be a dead give away as to his whereabouts.

Answer: Aston Martin

"Ah yes, 007 - Aston Martin call it the Vanquish, we call it the Vanish". Designed by the new Q for the secret agent who has everything (And just what is he going to do with six beverage cup holders anyway? The car only seats four. How many martinis can one man drink? And is it really a wise move to give a guy with a penchant for martinis a very expensive car with six beverage cup holders anyway? That could be asking for trouble) This little beauty comes in handy for infiltrating the headquarters of evil guys bent on world domination as it can become invisible.

Answer: Helicopter

James Bond knows that his cover is blown when Colonel Moon blows up the helicopter. Colonel Moon then tries to kill James. Luckily James sets off his watch-plastic-explosive-detonator and escapes. (Otherwise it would have been a short film).

Answer: Swan

How one does it on a bed of ice, I do not know. However, James Bond has no such inhibitions. Sex in the evening, and death for breakfast: Ahh, James... Nothing stops this man.

Answer: Revoke his licence to kill

After 14 months of being beaten, kicked, drowned and generally nearly tortured to death, James is not impressed when M revokes his licence to kill. Fortunately, James is back killing with impunity very soon.

Answer: Icarus

Graves creates the Icarus satellite to burn a path through the Korean DMZ so that the North Korean army can invade South Korea. He also uses it to try to kill James Bond - hence initiating one of the worst computer generated sequences in the history of motion pictures. Icarus is, of course, the famous Greek mythology dude who flew too near the sun, melted the wax holding his wings on, (it was ancient Greece and no one has invented the rivet yet) and then drowned - hence we knew Gustav was in for a fall.

Answer: Diamonds

"Don't blow it all at once". Zao is permanently scarred when James Bond blows up about half a kilo of South African conflict diamonds in his face. You would be a real Pierce Brosnan fan if you knew what Royal Lavulite was. This ficticious stone was created for the series "Remington Steele". Royal Lavulite was a beautiful stone "so blue it is said they were once pieces of the sky".

Answer: The Clash

"London Calling" is the song which accompanies Gustav Graves when he parachutes in to London to accept his knighthood. A Union Jack parachute - oh really... Haven't they already done that somewhere in a Bond movie before?

Answer: Torso

It started out with fencing swords and ended up with broad swords. Fortunately no one got his head lopped off. Madonna makes her famous appearance as the unimpressed lesbian fencing instructor. We were impressed.

Answer: True

Did anyone answer no to this? If you did you really need to see more Bond movies. Over the last 40 years James Bond has blown up more cars, tanks, planes, satellite dishes, space stations, trains, large chunks of central London, trucks and nuclear weapons launching facilities than just about any other fictional character. What's one more clinic? Actually, in this case, James didn't really intend to blow up the clinic, however he accidentally set fire to it and things just progressed from there. Jinx also helped by blowing bits of it up with her mobile phone. So no it wasn't a trick question - they both did it: Did they both 'destroy' the clinic - yes they did. So please don't send me any messages. You must remember that in a James Bond film these things have a tendency to happen.

Answer: Punches him senseless

James infiltrates the clinic by going to his room, punching the guy out, stuffing him in a wheelchair and pretending to be his nurse. Then, after one final push, James abandons him. The South African (you can tell he is South African by his South African accent) guy was the guy with the gun from the "Jinx emerging from the water" scene. I'll forgive you if you were distracted and didn't remember this one: Most people were distracted when Halle Berry emerged from the water in that bikini.

Answer: "Thunderball" and "From Russia With Love"

The jet pack came from "Thunderball". The briefcase with the gold soverigns in it and Rosa Kleb's knife/shoe came from "From Russia With Love". The homage to "Dr. No" was in the form of Halle Berry rising from the water in the Ursula Andress bikini complete with knife. I guess "Q" in the same bikini just wouldn't have the same umpahchah!

Answer: That's a name to die for.

Poor old Mr. Kil and his trully atrocious acting meet a very nasty end when Jinx shoots a laser beam through his head. However this does save James just in the nick of time (and Pierce Brosnan pretending to be strangled isn't a pretty sight), so we will forgive her.

Answer: Plunging to their deaths in a plane

Jinx says this line during the final plane scene - after all the bad guys have either plunged to their deaths or have been dispatched in other suitably gruesome ways. I repeat Jinx says this line in the plane - it was even in the trailer. She does not say it in a helicopter, she does not say it in a train. She says the line in a PLANE. You know - Its a big thing with wings that flies through the air.

James and Jinx are alone on the out-of-control-on-fire plane that is about to blow up (And before you say anything James is innocent. It was Jinx who blew it up by flying it into the path of Icarus). Fortunately our heroes escape the plane and James gets to reuse the quote in, er... different circumstances on the helicopter(now you are probably on the mark). Probably the best ever innuendo in a Bond film must be "Q"'s remark at the end of "Moonraker" that Bond "looks like he's attempting reentry".'

Answer: Burning, drowning, beating, stinging, hosing and general nastiness

Ouch. The opening title was pretty brutal. They stuck his head in a bathtub, hung him from the roof, and burnt him with a red hot poker, beat him till he couldn't stand, stung him with scorpions, hosed him with a high pressure hose, and generally gave him a hard time. He probably would have preferred a nice cup of tea.
