Hi
I'm new to these boards but wanted to ask your advice. I've been roped in to help a friend who is hosting a bond themed party at the end of the month. One of my "jobs" is to organise a quiz - basically each room of the house will have a sheet with 4 questions: Who was the baddie in X? What is the plot in X? Name the film that this image is from (with a screenshot of the film). Finally a bond fact that only true fans will be able to answer. It is this final section that I hope you can help with.
Some plot/fact related questions I have already:
In what film does Bond infiltrate a gang of narcotics smugglers in voodoo-infested Jamaica? (Live and let die)
What was the nickname of the Russian agent who worked with Bond in the spy whom loved me (Anya Triple-X Amasova)
Name the two characters who were Auric Goldfinger's assistants in Goldfinger (Pussy Galore and Oddjob).
How tall is Bond's arch-enemy Jaws? (Richard Kiel is 7ft 2inches)
In which of the Bond films does Jaws first appear? (The spy who loved me)
In which film does Jaws help 007? (Moonraker)
Where did Ian Fleming get the inspiration from for Blowfeld? (Cricket commentator, Henry Blowfeld's father who was a friend of Ian Fleming.)
How many times has the quote “The name’s Bond, James Bond” been said in a Bond movie?
What is your favourite nugget of bond trivia? Perhaps you have a favourite quote?
My second request is for female characters I can dress up as. I am also taking my 18 month old daughter who I am hoping to dress up as a "mini me". I don't want to go as a bond girl or anything too obvious...
Any help is gratefully appreciated.
Many thanks

It's has the cast and release dates. maybe you could some of the release dates in your quiz. I know here in America Tomorrow Never Dies opened the same day as Titanic.
As for you costume, not sure. Moneypenny is always good. One of the many Bond girls, or a female Bond Villan (Elektra, Rosa Klebb...). Have fun at the party.
Q/
Who wrote the Screenplay to the 1967 Film You Only Live twice ? (starring Sean Connery and the one where Blofeld - the first time we see him - lives under a hollowed out volcano).
A/
Roald Dahl
A7ce - don't worry its only 4 questions per sheet, and there'll be 7 sheets around the house so that's a fair few questions I've still got to get. Good question. Some more like that would be great.
Also, on the girl question, I found this site http://www.jamesbondmm.co.uk which has a section on bond villians and bond girls with character details and plot lines for the film they feature in (I don't know whether we are allowed off site links if not google james bond multimedia). Great for someone that doesn't have a lot of bond knowledge as its all on one page rather than going into each film hoping that there are some details there.
Thanks for your help - I hope more of you will contribute....
Thx

1. What was the name of Pierce Brosnan's first wife and in which James Bond film did she appear?
Cassandra Harris, For Your Eyes Only as the Countess Lisl Von Schalf (For Your Eyes Only is the twelfth film in the EON Productions James Bond series and the fifth to star Roger Moore as British Secret Service agent, Commander James Bond 007.)
2. What is the 2nd Book in the "Blofeld" trilogy? And which actor starred in the film of the same name? On Her Majesty's Secret Service, George Lazenby.
Hope these two help!
Che
I love the first one. Was On Her Majesty's Secret Service the only film which Lzaneby starred in? My hubbie has 18 of the films and I can only find Lazenby on one of them.
Please keep the questions coming.
Also, does anyone know anything about Spanish contessa Theresa in OHMSS? I'm trying to find out if I can get away with wearing my wedding dress again (after all when am I going to get the opportunity to wear it again?) Or are there any more brides in bond?
Thanks

First one that comes to mind is Felix Leiters wife in LTK. I think her name was Della.
Yes, Lazenby only starred in OHMSS.
I do not believe Teresa is Spanish. She is the daughter of the Corsican head of the Union Corse, and her full title is La Comtesse Teresa di Vicenzo. With a surname like that I doubt she can be Spanish, but I don't think there was anything in the book or in the movie that confirms her nationality.
A: 1924.
This is a tricky one since the only clues we are are given to his birth year are in the novel
"You Only Live Twice." Tiger Tanaka tells Bond the he was born in the year of the rat. WE are also told that Bond entered the Royal Navy in 1941 at the age of 17. Both bits of info tell us that he was born in 1924.
As for who you can dress up as....How about Bond himself? If you can pull it off you'll probably be the only woman in a tux.:007)

Yes, it's definitely stated that her mother was English. Her father was as above.
