The Bond Funfacts

to da bone girl! 😱

Post GOLDFINGER, which I believe was made in a 1:33.1 ratio as were DR NO and FRWL, both LALD and TMWTGG are the only two Bond films NOT to be made in the supposedly named WIDESCREEN FORMAT...i.e. 2:35.1...

as Moore would say:

"Really?" 😉

Make sure you raise THAT EYEBROW, old boy! 😱

and have that stupid grin too 😛

That's a SMIRK!!! 😉

it's grown onto him

The 006 character, Alec Trevelyan was originally written as a much older character and a mentor to Bond. The producers tried to get Anthony Hopkins to play the role, but when he refused they rewrote it to be a younger age.

wow, that's interesting 😄

you spilled some sarcasm 😱

twas sincere 😖

then you didn't spill 😊

When M.I. 6, the actual British Foreign Intelligence agency, learned that a scene from The World Is Not Enough would be shot around their headquarters building, they moved to prohibit it citing a security risk. However, Foreign Secretary Robin Cook, at the urging of Arts Minister Janet Anderson moved to overrule them and allow the shoot, stating "After all Bond has done for Britain, it was the least we could do for Bond."

Ian Fleming originally asked Noel Coward to play the part of Dr. No. Coward turned down the part by replying with a telegram that read, "Dr. No? No! No! No!"

FYEO :

Following the success of the movie, car manufactuer Citroen sold a limited edition of 300 of Melina's car, complete with 007 stickers and fake bullet holes.

Being the self absorbed b*stard that I am, here's a funfact that combines my megalomaniac self with 007...

I have seen EVERY Bond film to date in THE CINEMA except for DR NO...

Now, don't go try guessing my age, ya hear!!! 😱 There *could* be REVIVAL HOUSES screenings amongst that lot!!! 😉 😖hifty:

but that's not the same of course 😉

Clue: DAF and YOLT in a double bill!!! 😱

Yup, as well as GOLDFINGER and FOR A FEW DOLLARS MORE...in the same double bill!!! 😮‍💨
