 James Bond Trivia

Bond's original gun was his Beretta. M forced Bond to switch to a Walther PPK on the Dr. No assignment after the Beretta jammed on Bond's previous mission. He used the Walther PPK until the Tomorrow Never Dies mission where he traded it for the more modern Walther P99

Although James was born in Germany, he was raised in Scotland and England, and considers himself to be Scottish.

 

Bond's family motto is Orbis non sufficit, which is Latin for "The world is not enough." The motto was first revealed in the movie On Her Majesty's Secret Service when Bond was preparing for an undercover assignment as a genealogist, Sir Hillary Bray. The motto was later used as the title of the 1999 Bond film.

ames likes his martinis shaken not stirred. However, in the movie You Only Live Twice, Agent Henderson said that Bond likes his martinis stirred not shaken. James Bond (Sean Connery) said "Yes, that's correct."

For those James Bond Fans out there, see you at the new James Bond Movie.

If you know of a good James Bond Trivia Question, send it this way.

Do You know the Answer ?

I end on this. Jaws one of James Bonds Enemys, Never spoke in any James Bond Movie except one. What was the Movie and what did Jaws Say ?

One Last Item....

Well, I would have to say I like the newest one (Daniel Craig) for many reasons. But moving on to a better question and one that you really meant to ask, who is your favorite bond girl? They are all gorgeous and make Bond himself more confident and the icon that he has become; it must be their personalities and mystique. My favorite is Carey Lowell (License to Kill). Who is your favorite? I know you have an opinion!

My favorite Bond Girl, thats like asking a kid in a candy store to decide on just one candy bar. Is not Variety the spice of life. I will have to think on that. Also we should decide what is the favorite name of a Bond Girl also ?
