We all know that Bond likes his martini shaken, not stirred, but what else do you know about 007? Test your knowledge with our Ultimate James Bond Quiz featuring over 70 questions and answers in 3 sections – General ‘Bond’ Knowledge, Bond Villains and Theme Songs.
Being a 007 agent who is licensed to kill, gets to travel the world, drives fast and fancy cars, in the company of a bevvy of beautiful women, all in the name of Queen and country (along with a touch of saving the world!) – sounds like a dream job, right?!
But how much do you know about all the adventures James Bond has been on during the 25 official movies? From filming locations to cars, creative ways to die dreamt up by classic Bond villains, to iconic James Bond quotes, Bond girls and the various actors who played the man himself, our James Bond Trivia is going to test your knowledge of all that and more!
And if you’re wondering what I mean by ‘official movies’, there are 25 that have been produced by the same company from Dr No all the way through to No Time To Die (and beyond) PLUS 2 movies and a TV show that were created outside of those production rights, and as such were in competition with the ‘official’ films.
So now we’ve got that distinction out of the way, let’s get started! Scroll down for the ultimate 007 Quiz!
