    Congratulations @Baltimore_007. JFK was just the name I was looking for.

    In March of 1960, through a mutual friend named Marion Oates Leiter, Fleming and the then President Kennedy met over dinner. Marion introduced John to Bond in the form of the Fleming novels while he was recovering from an operation he'd had back in 55'. The two got exceedingly comfortable with each other. Fleming even talked with John about his own ideas of beating Castro, and these same ideas where tossed around for consideration at Langley. JFK also majorly influenced the Bond films, as the second part of my post stated. After the success of DN in 1962, and their greenlight from United Artists, EON wondered what book to adapt next. I'm sure they were relieved to hear news stating that John named From Russia With Love in his top ten favorite books list for Life magazine. EON saw this and chose FRWL as the next Bond film. Sadly, FRWL just so happened to be the last film JFK saw on the 20th of November, 1963, only two days before his death. I'll take a break and let someone have a go. I do have a BOND FILM related question next so as not to upset anyone.

    On to you if you are so willing @Baltimore_007.

    I was looking back at some of the previous question here and someone said 'What is unique about YOLT, well it's the only Bond release that didn't feature him driving a car'

    This has got to be incorrect, I know of at least one other example such as in Moonraker where Bond (I hope, if memory serves), doesn't drive a car, he's merely a passenger (The ride from the airport in Brazil for instance), just wanted to highlight this

    My question is

    Apart from Bond himself and any other M16 Regulars, (Q, M, M'penny, Tanner etc), who is the only other 'Bond character' to appear in three or more films during the entire franchise (I think I'm right with this)

    oh, and it's not Blofeld or anything such

    shouldn't be too difficult actually

    You said "mi6 regulars" so does that mean Felix Leiter doesn't count? I'll go with him.

    Oh dear it's not Leiter

    I'll hold my hands up and admit I was a bit sneaky with this one

    big clue, it's of female gender

    Gotta get it now

    As it's a "character" and not an actor I guess I can rule out Maud Adams. And I hope you don't mean Sylvia Trench because she's only in 2 movies.

    I really have no idea but i'll say Tracy just because she's mentioned in atleast 3 movies after OHMSS

    actually it was Adams

    She is after all a Bond character and was seen in Golden Gun , AVTAK (people will understand) and Octopussy, I was being a bit sneaky

    I should of said actor/actress but that may have made it easier

    I guess I'll let someone else have a go.

    I'll take a shot.

    Bond is known for wearing a tuxedo/dinner jacket yet he doesn't in 2 movies. Which ones? (and i'm ruling out a wrong answer that might confuse some: FRWL. Technically it wasn't Bond, but a spectre agent disguised as Bond wearing it, but it counts in my book)

    Is this mystery female alive, a solid being, or a memory?

    If so...Tracy?? :-??

    You could count the Bondola as a car. Bond drives that on land when in St. Mark's Square. As far as a land based vehicle goes, You Only Live Twice is the only film where he doesn't.

    Luvly Jubbly.

    How many Bond films do NOT have a car chase ? This includes all vehicles on a road with four wheels either chasing Bond or being chased by him .
  • Samuel001Samuel001 Moderator

    Four?

    From Russia With Love, Moonraker, The World Is Not Enough and Casino Royale?

    Most likely it was but not what I'm looking for @0BradyM0Bondfanatic7. ;-)

    Keep guessing.

    I could give you a clue but then I personally think it'd be very easy. Have another guess or wait to see what some other members come up with first.

    The first time a Bond girl could physically match Bond?? Warm or cold??
  • Samuel001Samuel001 Moderator

    No.

    Cold, in fact frozen.

    The title was changed from "Tomorrow Never Lies" to "Tomorrow Never Dies" because of a typo?
  • Samuel001Samuel001 Moderator

    No, again.

    It's not about the actual film per say, more of an unusual bit of information.
