    Didn't want to start a new thread for this, it's pretty easy. A Bond music Quiz.

    In an Homage to Octopussy, Bond will dress as a clown again for a big fight scene in Bond24.
    Of course being Bond it will be big, the biggest custard pie fight caught on camera
    ( Currently held by the great race ) ;)

    Kim Kardashian has been confirmed as the female lead for Bond24.
    Her famous magazine cover, shoving her ass out. Will be used as the
    Basis for the title sequence. :D

    Some Bond facts ......
    The books were first written in the 50s by Ian Flemming
    ( who also discovered penicillin )
    He wrote then in Goldenshower his home.
    His first book was called Dr Noah, but a misprint changed it to
    Thunderpussy.
    He chose the name James Bond after seeing it in a TV guide on
    Birds of the west Highlands.
    In the original version of Live and let Dye, most of the action takes
    Place on a Welsh hill farm.
    The Title for On her Majesties Service was written on the back of an old
    Tax envelope.
    And the original name for Moneypenny was to have been
    Miss Cashstrapped.

    Some film facts.
    As know by Many George Lazenby was the first screen Bond but due to
    Connery crying like a baby, it was decided to let him go first with his films
    Holding back OHMSS.
    Sean Connery is actually from Hampshire.
    Roger Moore was not only a knitting model but is skilled in the practice as
    Well. In fact the knitted hat and cardy worn by Barbara Bach was knitted by
    Sir Roger himself.
    Timothy Dalton, can only cry on screen if brightly coloured trainers are in his
    Eye line. So an assistant has to be on hand at all times in a pair of gaudy
    Trainers.
    Pierce Brosnan, while filming Die another Day. Pierce used his painting skills
    on the Aston Martin, making it appear invisible on screen. This was so good no
    CGI was needed.
    On the set of CR, Daniel Craig expressed an interest in old books ( leather bound)
    especially French literature. Both he and Dame Judi would often kid each other
    About it because they were both looking for the same old book. Imagine Judi's
    Surprise when Daniel gave her his copy.
    " I was overjoyed when I finally got my hands on his Balzac !" She laughed.

    The space sequences from Moonraker were filmed in Area 51, using
    The same sound stage and techniques as those used to " Fake" the
    Moon landings !
    With the success of the Burt Reynolds buddy movies plans were made
    For a car chase film across America with just James Bond and Felix
    Leiter. Sadly this never happened but with a few tweaks, it became
    " Thelma and Louise "

    One of the early inspirations for the dress style of 007 was
    Norman Wisdom. An Homage to his own distinctive style
    Was used in the tight suits of Skyfall.

    Apparently Daniel Craig sounds like a six year old girl ! :D his
    Voice has to be redubbed later.

    Daniel Craig is a massive fan of Halowe'en, and goes out trick or treating each year. Consequently he insisted on bringing his own costume to the 'Day of the Dead' scenes in Mexico in SPECTRE. :007)
    "How was your lamb?" "Skewered. One sympathises."
  • ThunderpussyThunderpussy Behind you !Posts: 63,792MI6 Agent
    Interesting, may also have something to do with Tom Ford being
    a huge Norman Wisdom fan, why his suits are cut so tight ? :D

    The reason why keeping a gun beside the bleach is mentioned
    In Spectre is because EON landed a big product placement from
    Domestos. ;) and Bond will be see pouring some down his toilet
    in Bond25.

    * Denise Richards' character was originally named "Dr. Boxing Day Jones".
    * Rejected titles for 'The World is Not Enough' include 'Having Only One Film with Robbie Coltrane is Not Enough' and 'More World? Yes, Please!'
    * Pierce Brosnan is a staunch gun control advocate and refused to actually be filmed holding a gun. The 'guns' he is seen holding in his films are actually bananas painted black.
    * The entire final hour of Thunderball was filmed in Sean Connery's bathtub.
    * It took Pierce Brosnan 6 minutes to grow his facial hair as seen in the prison scenes of 'Die Another Day'.
    * Had Judi Dench's character, M, required such a beard, it would have only taken her 3 minutes.
    * In a deleted scene from The World is Not Enough, 007 returns a dead parrot to gadget master 'R'. Surprisingly, the parrot was not dead, but rather pining for the fjords.

    Roger Moore was The Stig, on the last series of Top Gear.

    Computer hacker Boris's catchphrase in GoldenEye was originally supposed to 'I'm not particulary vincible'!
  • The Domino EffectThe Domino Effect Posts: 3,631MI6 Agent
    At the age of 13, James Bond was thrown out of Eton after he arrived at the local Fish & Chip shop moments after it had closed. When the chippie refused to fire up the fryer and cook him a nice piece of haddock and a few chips, young Bond tied him up and threatened him with a large filleting knife. The confused chippie exclaimed "I suppose you expect me to hand over all my money?" To which Bond replied, "No, I expect you to fry."

    A line cut from Moonraker was Bond asking if Dr Goodhead lived up to her name.

    Sean Bean's character in GoldenEye was originally going to be the previous Bond, Timothy Dalton, playing a retired James Bond, until the script writers realised the code name theory was stupid.

    Originally, Madonna was lined up to play Jinx in Die Another a Day.

    Chang in DAD and General Chang in TND are brothers; their father, Chang, previously worked for Hugo Drax.

    The original script for Tomorrow Never Dies was abandoned as it was deemed to silly for a Bond film; Mike Myers went on to adapt the script into the first Austin Powers film.

    Rowan Atkinson was considered for the role of Bond after the studio saw him in Johnny English.

    Sean Connery was approached to play Elliot Carver.

    Watching DAD gave the makers of the horror film The Ring, the idea for their movie. ;)

    In the original script for Spectre. Blofeld was to have dined with
    Madeline, serving custard, jelly, sponge and cream but Madeline
    Wouldn't be trifled with !

    A little known fact but after PB left the franchise I was contacted by Chubby Cabbage (a relation of Barbara Broccoli). He wanted to sound me out with a view to taking over the role. I must say that although I was interested when I pressed him a little I soon realised that I the commitments I would have had to make to filming/promotions etc meant that I couldn't run the weekly bingo sessions for the pensioner group I help with. The upshot was that they were forced to go with their second choice. That's how come DC got the job.

    Ever notice that Daniel Craig's car chase sequences are noticeably shorter than other Bonds? That's because Daniel Craig never learned to drive a car!! Those were all stuntmen driving those cars. The writers of Quantum of Solace tried alternatives like having Bond hauling around Mr. White in the handlebar basket of a bicycle, but the hills proved to be just too much. So it was scrapped and a stunt driver took his place.
  • TheWorldIsEnoughTheWorldIsEnough Posts: 296MI6 Agent
    Think that Die Another Day had too many computer generated scenes? You're absolutely right!! In fact, the entire film is over 99% animated!! The only scene that wasn't CGI? The gun barrel sequence. It took Pierce Brosnan over 400,000 attempts, but eventually, he nailed it. He shot a bullet straight into the barrel of another gun, amazingly not even grazing the camera inside of it. Way to go. Pierce!

    As well as not wearing socks in his portrayal of Blofeld, Christoph
    Waltz also didn't wear any underpants !

    This is actually true. He mentions it on on of the clash of clans adverts.

    Keeping it in the family.

    Sean Connery once had an affair with Judi Dench in the late 1960's. Nine months later Judi gave birth to her son Daniel. Daniel Craig.... and now you know...... the rest of the story.

    Roger Moore hair in avtak was based on Dame Edna Everage's own coiffure, but the pink/blue/purple tones were not used as it made bond look to feminine. Donald Trump was so impressed with Sir Rogers hair do he adopted it for himself.
    It was either that.....or the priesthood

    The reason Bond has to steal a bus in LALD is because Bond left his bus pass at home.

    Originally, Graves was to turn into a robot on the plane at the end of DAD. However, as the budget had already been spent on all the CGI, the costume department bought him a halloween robot costume from the pound shop and put it on Toby Stephens.

    For Connery's later films, half the budget had to be spent on making and replacing toupees.

    With the success of DAD and Spider Man in 2002, Sony wanted to make a crossover movie, where Bond would team up with Spidey to bring down Doctor Octopus.

    The script for DAD was actually written in 1980 for Roger Moore, the peak of campy Bond. However, FYEO was made instead.

    Wouldn't that be Doctor Octopussy? :))
