James Bond Bingo: The High-Stakes 007 Game

Product Information

In the novel, Honey is distinguished by a broken nose. Obviously in the film this wouldn’t do: physical deformities are strictly villain-only. Indeed, no cinematic Bond girl has ever been anything other than physical perfection. This I think is a shame. A scarred heroine, or perhaps one paying homage to Honey’s broken nose, would be genuinely revolutionary. I’d love to see a Bond film bold enough to subvert the stereotype but I’m not holding my breath.

A few years ago I received the James Bond Scene It game for Christmas, great for a lifelong Bond fan like myself, not so good for the rest of my family who have a ‘take it or leave it’ attitude to the films! Nobody wants to play a game when they know who will win before the box is open – sadly it remains virtually un-played with in the loft! The moment where Bond silently mourns Quarrel’s death is genuinely affecting. Later he goads Dr. No by saying, in reference to SPECTRE’s ‘revenge’ department: “My first job would be to find the man who killed Strangways. And Quarrel.” The Jamaican fisherman is placed as equal to the British civil servant. A subtle insight into Bond himself. The Girl:Silly name, stunningly beautiful, exotic accent, often bikini-clad, initially hostile, gets rescued, last seen kissing Bond in a boat – Honey Rider created the Bond Girl as we know her (is this a good thing…? Let’s not go there). Boasts one of the most famous entrances in cinematic history – the Bond films alone have referenced it twice (Halle Berry in Die Another Day, Daniel Craig in Casino Royale). Doesn’t actually do vast amounts but iconic nonetheless. Switch on any random Bond film and you will most likely see a variation of this scene. Every single Bond – Connery, Lazenby, Moore, Dalton, Brosnan, Craig – does the dance. And yet this is the first. In five minutes the film establishes a template that will be repeated perpetually deep into the 21st century. And you can see why.GREAT GIFT - perfect for dedicated James Bond fans, lovers of cinema and families who enjoy spending quality time together fans can still get their Bond fix for the next two weeks on Prime. After that, the films are available to rent on YouTube for a small fee. Are you obsessed with all-things 007?

It would be like making Hamlet without Hamlet.”

I’d love to reveal that Honey Rider was nearly an ostrich but tragically I can find no evidence of this. She is a wonderfully exotic creation and, like Dr. No, appears later than you’d expect. Personally, I feel Honey’s celebrity leans heavily on that entrance and the sight of Ursula Andress in a bikini. Give me Pussy Galore or Domino any day. But then neither caused the cultural splash of Honey so I’m probably in the minority here. While we wait patiently for the next Bond film, and continue the hunt for the next 007, franchise producer Barbara Broccoli has commented on whether or not we will see a spin-off.

They share this sexy, sultry, slightly exotic accent that is rather difficult to place. Search YouTube for some clips of Honey Rider and Sylvia Trench and you’ll see what I’m talking about. The reason they sound so alike is because most literally have the same voice: that of German actress Nikki van der Zyl.

GREAT GIFT – perfect for dedicated James Bond fans, lovers of cinema and families who enjoy spending quality time together Many of the classic, such as The Spy Who Loved Me and From Russia With Love, are also available on the streaming service Hulu, while more modern films like Skyfall have been added to Paramount +'s offering. For the most part they areindependent creations: the films largely ignored the books from Diamonds Are Foreveronwards, and pretty much ran out of titles to steal after The Living Daylights(although exceptions occur). However, the early films were heavily influenced by the Fleming novels, as was much of what we now recognize as Bondian: villains, girls, violence, sex, hedonism, exotic locations, stupid names and so forth. Rightly or not, I’ve made a conscious decision to ignore this: the books will be mentioned only in passing. Apologies to any Fleming fans who feel I’m giving the great man short shrift.

60th Anniversary Christmas Gift Guide

The whole finale feels a little rushed, although budget restrictions meant that wars in hollowed volcanoes weren’t yet a possibility. A couple of moments haven’t dated too well. Bond casually tells Dr. No, “With your disregard for human life you must be working for the East.” Even worse is when Bond barks, “Fetch my shoes!” at Quarrel in what definitely isn’t a request. Ugh.

In Jamaica Bond first meets Felix Leiter, his future CIA BFF. Sadly, Leiter’s portrayal across the franchise is frustratingly inconsistent. The casting alone tells a story. Counting Skyfall, only three actors have played Q, with four incarnations apiece of M and Moneypenny, and six of Bond himself. Yet there have been seven different Leiters – in only nine film appearances! Only two actors ever reprised the role (shout out to David Hedison and Jeffrey Wright). We really enjoyed it and looking forward to playing with friends this Christmas where I'm sure it will turn into a Bond bingo drinking game! So, Dr. No. The story of how Sean Connery went from starring in a musical about leprechauns to the embodiment of masculinity. The film doesn’t hang around and neither should we. Let’s dive in. The mission – investigate the disappearance of Commander Strangways – is more private-eye than superspy. Bond hops on a plane to Jamaica and there he stays for the remainder of the film. Whereas later films can throw a dart at an atlas every twenty minutes – aaand now we’re in Haiti! – Connery generally puts down roots. Sure, there are other main characters like M and Q and all that,” she said, according to Radio Times.

Play bingo with 64 Bond icons: featuring six 007s; memorable villains and supporting actors; Q, M and Moneypenny; and (of course) a dazzling array of famous cars and gadgets Pointless trivia alert: in an early script draftDr. Nowas in fact a monkey. Yes, that kind of monkey. A definite Sliding Doorsmoment for the series.
