The idea here is to quote trivia that relates to the Bond movie/book series in general, or a particular Bond movie/book, or even a specific scene.

For example:[list]
[*]Bond movies: MGM - the roaring lion in the MGM logo was named Volney and lived at the Memphis Zoo.
[*]Diamonds Are Forever: Bond calls Tiffany a twit

Good thread - deserves to go through the eye of a needle. Now, I know what a person with a third nipple is called and for the life of me I cannot remember what it is. Instead, a more home grown version of an answer.... a person with a third nipple is a person with one tit too many.


Trivia - Binder used cheap 'round paper stickers' from a high street stationer,
for his titles on Dr No.

[list]
[*]Bond movies: Pierce Brosnan - whenever I type "Brosnan" in Microsoft Word the spell checker suggests it should be Bronson.
[*]The Man With The Golden Gun: Nick Nack - In Tom Mankewicz

A person with three nipples suffers from polythelia.

Unless one is like that woman in the bar in Total Recall, in which case they are suffering from radiation poisoning.

Trivia; Listen very carefully in the hospital scene with Bond & M in Die Another Day and on the soundtrack you will hear the VERY first 'sounds' from Dr No.

Quite so KC, it's neat to hear that gunbarrel under Arnold's up-tempo track.

It was one of the last references to past Bond films I spotted. It's right when Brosnan gets out of the bed and 'checks out'. :)

Trivia; A lot of the times I've been watching t.v. and it is just after midnight, I decide its time for bed and I start to switch off t.v. and digital box, the time displayed frequently reads 00:07 - this is always randomly I might add.

Trivia; a lot of things happen to the Bond world up in the mile high club; Childs' got the part of Goodhead as she happened to be on the same aircraft as Gilbert in 1978.

You Only Live Twice/Diamonds Are Forever/Moonraker: astronaut - the earliest known use of the word "astronaut" is in the 1880 sci-fi novel "Across The Zodiac" by Percy Greg.

Have you ever noticed a guy in the Bond films made cameos in three of the Moore/Bond films?

1. The guy first appears in The Spy Who Loved Me at a beach where the Lotis comes out of the water. The guy is so stunned by seeing a car came out of the water, that he looks at his beer to see if he's dreaming.

2. The same guy appears in Moonraker when Bond comes out of the Venican waters with his gondola, the guy sees the gondola and does the same thing with his beer.

3. The guy's last appearance is in For Your Eyes Only. The scene has Bond skiing away from assassins, and when Bond jumps over a lodge, the guy appears quickly.

Who is this guy anyway?

He helped out on The Spy Who Loved Me I think, and they always had him make his accustomed cameo in the three following films. There is some information about him on one of the documentaries I though, will have to check.

I just found out accidently that th guy who did the camoes was a famous British comedian named Alfie Bass.

Since your a big MOONRAKER fan Qwerty, check out the credits in the film and Bass is credited only as the Consumptive Italian.

That's interesting Spectre_Assassin, as he is named by Gilbert on the TSWLM documentary as Victor Tourjansky. You should check it out.

I've seen the Bond site, that lists his name as Alfie Bass.

Did you that in the OHMSS novel, Ian Fleming mentions actress Ursula Andress in it?

The reason why was Fleming's fascination of her when he visted her while she was shooting Dr. No in Jamaica.

There was something cool I picked up today. Did you that Cassandra Peterson ("Elvira, Mitress of the Dark") appeared as a background dancer in "Diamonds Are Forever". I didn't know that.

Just checked with IMDb, and her earliest noted appearance in anything was in 1972, so this Diamonds Are Forever gig just could be her very first in a movie then.

Wow! Where did you pick that up from SA?

I actually saw a commerical about Elvira, and wanted to know information about her. And I went to cultsirens.com. It's a informative site I've been before. A nice find, huh? :)

There's some great Bond women info in there as well!

DAD: The orignal name of Icarus was Solaris. The name changed when the filmmakers discovered that George Clooney was starring in a film with the same name.

I was born with a third nipple! ...it's smaller than the two main ones and resides about 2 inches below the right side;Mark Walberg has one just like it(I noticed that while watching "Rock Star").No wonder why Scaramonga is my favorite villian! :)

Russian jeep UAZ-469 appears in all Brosnan movies(most notably - it falls from the bridge during tank chase in GE). Watch STRANGE DAYS closely and you will see that Jeriko One(the killed rapper played by Glen Plummer)drives the same jeep - being Russian I find that fascinating!Attached File  uaz_31512_01.jpg   104.02KB   39 downloads

I was born with a third nipple!

wonder what you thought when first saw TMWTGG?
Can you whistle? :)

Speaking of personal ties, my native city is mentioned in Icebreaker!
had a lot of laughs when came across it in a Bond book

The German voice on the tape Zao is listening to in the Alvarez clinic in DAD...
