The Fool.

If it's traditional Moore cheese, probably The Lovers. Or is that at a different point?

by **Johnstone McGuckian** Sun Jun 19, 2011 2:39 pm

Lovers is later on when the cards are 'stacked in his favor'. It's the fool first though.

I think I've been inspired by this thread to do a Bond marathon.

Zoltar was first with the correct answer.

Wow, talk about a log jam at the top of the scoreboard!

Q10: Another quote by a villain: "You wouldn't kill me. You'd miss me." Who said this?

by **Zoltar** Sun Jun 19, 2011 8:21 pm

I think that was Elektra.

Correct! It was Elektra King in "The World Is Not Enough."

Q11: Name the only film in which Bond drinks a martini "stirred, not shaken."

by Rich Flair Mon Jun 20, 2011 7:04 am

That's how he drinks it in the books, so I'll guess at Dr No.

by **The Co=Ordinator** Mon Jun 20, 2011 7:31 am

You Only Live Twice. Isn't he offered the drink in Japan by Tiger Tanaka and, keen not to cause offence, graciously accepts.

You Only Live Twice is correct, but it is not Tiger Tanaka who offers it. (Remember, Tiger was all about being authentically Japanese. His adult beverage of choice was Sake.) Bond is offered the 'stirred, not shaken martini' by his MI-6 contact Dikko Henderson (Charles Gray), and as you pointed out, he was too polite to refuse.

Q12: Another quote, although this time it is not a villain. "I've lost my charm!" Name the character and movie where this quote can be found.

by **Zoltar** Mon Jun 20, 2011 9:41 am

Heh, I could remember the scene but not her name for the life of me. Had to look her up. Saida, from The Man with the Golden Gun.

by **Patrick** Mon Jun 20, 2011 9:52 am

Zoltar wrote:Heh, I could remember the scene but not her name for the life of me. Had to look her up. Saida, from The Man with the Golden Gun.

Well done, Zoltar. Yes, it was Saida the belly dancer from Beruit, after Bond attempts to remove her belly charm (actually, the golden bullet that killed his collegue Bill Fairbanks), and inadvertantly swallows it when the nightclub's henchmen attack him while he has the "charm" in his mouth.

Q13: Besides the two Bond films they made together, actors Joe Don Baker and Pierce Brosnan co-starred in what 1996 Tim Burton film?

Pierce in a Tim Burton film, I'm thinking it's gotta be Mars Attacks.

Hopefully, this question will be a bit more difficult.

Q14: Martine Beswick, who played Paula (Bond's assistant in Nassau) in Thunderball, also appeared which other Bond flim?

by **Johnstone McGuckian** Mon Jun 20, 2011 2:48 pm

From Russia with Love.

Wasn't she also one of the silhouettes in the opening sequence of Dr. No? (Not that I'm fishing for extra points or anything ... Wink

)

by **The Co=Ordinator** Mon Jun 20, 2011 2:50 pm

I only remember Martine from "Doctor Jekyll & Sister Hyde". Razz

You, sir, are quite correct. Ms. Beswick played one of the two fighting gypsy ladies.

Johnstone McGuckian wrote:Wasn't she also one of the silhouettes in the opening sequence of Dr. No? (Not that I'm fishing for extra points or anything ...)

I don't know that any of the silhouette dancers in the opening credits of Dr. No were ever officially credited, so I can't answer that.

Johnstone moves into a tie for second place with the C=O, and Zoltar is sitting all alone in first.

Q15: Among his other film credits, John Rhys-Davies appeared in all three of the Lord of the Rings movies, and two Indiana Jones films. What 007 movie was he in?

by **The Co=Ordinator** Mon Jun 20, 2011 3:03 pm

He was in The Living Daylights. Pushkin IIRC.

by **Patrick** Mon Jun 20, 2011 3:40 pm

Correct, oh Cyber-one, and I figured that would be a question that got answered quickly.

Let's see if we can raise the difficulty level for this next one.

Q16: At the time of her fliming her appearance as a James Bond girl, this actress was the daughter-in-law of Sir Richard Attenborough. Who is she?

by **Johnstone McGuckian** Mon Jun 20, 2011 4:59 pm

I know that Jane Seymour was married to Attenborough's son at some point, so I'm going to guess with that...

by **Patrick** Mon Jun 20, 2011 7:29 pm

Johnstone McGuckian wrote:I know that Jane Seymour was married to Attenborough's son at some point, so I'm going to guess with that...

That is absolutely correct, Johnstone! She was married to Attenborough's son during the filming of Live And Let Die. You move into a tie with C=O, and you both are now close on Zoltar's heels.

Now, this is a game where the first to 10 points wins the bragging rights. At this point, based on point totals, I'd say only Rich is in true danger of not having chance.

Q17: The British rock group "The Clash" have only ever had one song featured in the soundtrack of a Bond movie. Name the movie, and the song.

by stanmore Mon Jun 20, 2011 11:52 pm

London Calling in Die Another Day. It was a bit sad that this old punk song that used to be about nuclear Armageddon is now about a bloke returning home, but, hey, the band did allow the song to be used for some total Timelash down the years...

by **Patrick** Tue Jun 21, 2011 7:07 am

You are correct, Stanmore, and you've just officially consigned Rich to the cellar. I found it odd that Die Another Day, a movie that premiered in 2002, would actively select a song that was 20 years old at that point, to herald Bond's return to the UK.

Q18: Joanna Lumley is perhaps best known to modern audiences for co-starring in the comedy series "Absolutely Fabulous." However, before she was on that show, she had a small part in which Bond movie?

by Rich Flair Tue Jun 21, 2011 7:55 am

Live and Let Die
