It's not as easy as you'd think because the questions can't be too hard or too easy. Here's what I have so far. Feel free to play at home, although I can't send any prizes.
1. In the films, how does James Bond prefer his martinis?
6. How much did the Man With the Golden Gun charge?
7. Who sang the title song for The Spy Who Loved Me?
2. Walther PPK is the answer we were looking for. (Extra credit if you know he was issued the Walther because his Beretta jammed.) What's he carrying now?
3. Oh come on, honestly, George Lazenby. You had to look? What? Have you been sleeping?
4. On Her Majesty's Secret Service. You'll note a certain tie between questions 3 and 4.
5. Odd Job - some of the people in the office didn't get this one, making me wonder how these are going to fly. He was parodied in Austin Powers. It should be another gimmie.
6. $1 Million a shot, according to the Lulu song, or $1 million per assassination. What other famous movie theme song did Lulu also perform?
7. Carly Simon. I once saw John Davidson perform it on the Tonight Show as "This Girl Who Loved Me. Ackkk!
8. Kind of a sneaky one since there was a henchman named Jaws. The answer we're looking for is Robert Shaw in From
Thanks for playing - have a good day! Enjoy Casino Royale if you go this weekend.

Hhmm, I only got three completely right, although I was close on a couple of others. And I even heard some information about this on the radio the other day.
OKAY WAAAAAAAAY TOO EASY. SIDNEY, ALLOW ME TO CHALLENGE YOU. OH, BY THE WAy, SAW CASINO ROYALE AND LOVED IT. LOVED IT. THE OPENING FOOT CHASE IS THE MOST EXCITING CHASE I'VE EVER SEEN, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF FRIEDKIN'S "FRENCH CONNECTION".
OKAY..HERE ARE THE TRIVIA QUESTIONS FOR YOU SID...I'LL ONLY GIVE YOU FOUR. AND YES, SID..I AM A FANATIC. I WOULD KILL TO WRITE A BOND NOVEL. I THOUGHT ABOUT DOING MY BLOG AS A BOND BLOG. ANYWAY..HERE ARE THE FOUR
1. WHO FIRST PLAYED BOND?
2. WHAT WAS THE GREATEST CHALLENGE FOR ACTOR GERT FROBE IN HIS ROLE AS GOLDFINGER
3. WHAT IS THE FIRST BOND FILM NOT NAMED FOR A NOVEL OR SHORT STORY BY FLEMING?
4. WHICH BOND FILM'S ADAPTATION TO FILM WAS DELAYED BECAUSE AT THE TIME IT WAS FELT IT WOULD BE TOO CONTROVERSIAL.

1.Barry Nelson in a televised version of Casino Royale.
2.Frobe didn't speak English and had to learn his role by rote
3.License to Kill
4.Live and Let Die..it was felt the image of black criminals distributing heroin would inflame a racially charged environment in urban america during the sixties.
Good questions, Stewart. I went to see the new movie yesterday and thought it was great, too. The opening foot chase is unsurpassed.
I knew the answer to only the first twoof your questions. I have a VHS tape of the Barry Nelson show. Bought it cheap at a Musicland store once upon a time. It opens with very bad gunshot effects in front of the casino.
I made a mistake in my extra credit on No. 1 of mine - should have said movie Casino Royale.
Sidney, thanks for leaving your comment on my blog about the new Bond movie. That construction site chase was the best chase scene in a long time, and even though it was pretty long it didn't drag.
Reading your profile, you have a lot in common wiht my husband, especially Warren Zevon. He is currently attempting his first novel - about werewolves.
