1.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: A Blind Bargain (1922)?
a.		After being cast as the Hospitaler in the film, David Thewlis visited the Hospitalers Museum at St. Johns Gate in London, near where he lives. Whilst there, he discovered that his flat was actually built on the remains of the old priory of the Hospitalers headquarters.
b.		In honor of the franchises - 40th anniversary, there are references to each of the previous - 19 Bond films, including: Dr. No - Jinx (Halle Berry) walking out of the sea in a bikini, wearing a white belt and a diving knife. The synthesizer sounds from the opening credits play when Bond escapes the MI6 hospital. The gun that Jinx has to surrender to Miranda on board the plane is a Beretta Cheetah. In "Dr. No", the Armorer remarks to 007 that the Beretta made a good womans pistol. During the "Kiss Of Life" scene, David Arnolds film score includes samples of the same electronic sounds heard in the gun barrel sequence of "Dr. No." In that film, Bond asks if the government house sent him a car; he uses the name "Universal Exports" in order to be patched through. In this movie, Bond claims he is from Universal Exports asking about the Delectados (cigars) in order to gain access to the contact in Cuba. From Russia with Love - The shoe with the poison-tipped blade is seen in Qs station laboratory. There is a knife concealed in a briefcase. In the ice palace sequence, there is a game board (the chess match). Enemy spies are behind a one-way mirror in a hotel room with cameras. Graves engineer is seen holding the Icarus control and petting it like it is a cat. When they first meet, Jinx tells James her name, and adds, "My friends call me Jinx." Bond replies, "Mine call me James Bond." In "From Russia with Love", Tatiana Romanova introduces herself and adds, "My friends call me Tania," and Bond gives the same reply. Goldfinger - Jinx is nearly cut with a laser in Mr. Kils laboratory. The rest of the fight scene is also a tribute. Bond once again drives a gadget-laden Aston Martin, specifically with a passenger ejector seat. The new Q comments that, as he learned from his predecessor, "I never joke about my work, 007." The scene where Bond and Graves fence for money, only to see Bond up the stakes for one of Graves diamonds, is suggestive of the golf match between Bond and Auric Goldfinger. The golf match had originally been for money, until Bond throws down a gold brick to "up the stakes". Bond is threatened with death in a depressurizing plane. Bond and Jinx receive electric shocks from a villain - Oddjob was killed by electrocution. In the pre-title sequence, Bond removes a wetsuit to reveal ordinary clothes underneath. Thunderball - The jet-pack in Qs workshop. Bond uses a pen-like underwater breathing system. After Bond comes through the window of the medical facility in Cuba, he grabs a few grapes as he did before making his exit from a room in the medical center in "Thunderball". You Only Live Twice - Scenes of the Icarus unfolding in space are shown on screens in the Ice Palace. Jinx descends from the ceiling of the fake diamond mine on a rope system similar to that of the ninjas in the volcano crater lair. The name of the ship Bond is on: the HMS Tenby. The use of Japanese swords in the films. Bonds death is faked (or exaggerated) in both films to free up 007s maneuverability. On Her Majestys Secret Service - "OHMSS" written on a CD on Moneypennys desk as she types a report at the end of the film. Bond escapes from another huge avalanche. During the ice field car chase, the score references the opening to this movies theme. Diamonds Are Forever - While fencing with Bond, Graves says, "Well, diamonds are for everyone." Much of the plot includes diamonds. A large satellite is uncovered in space and has the power to harness the suns rays and project them as a fine laser to destroy any given target. In the "High Life" magazine article for Gustav Graves diamond company, the caption at the bottom says, "Diamonds are forever, but life isnt" A villain changes his appearance. One character calls another "Bitch!" in a single line - this was, famously, the first strong curse word used in a Bond film. Live and Let Die - The laser causes row upon row of explosions across a vegetated area, in this case detonating thousands of land mines, and is reminiscent of the extermination of Kanangas poppy fields. Bond uses the same revolver used on the island of St. Monique. The Man with the Golden Gun - The corridors in the secret area of the Gene Technology department in the Cuban hospital contain rotating mirrors and objects, much like Scaramangas Fun Palace. The Field office of MI6 is on a ship in the Hong Kong harbor. Bond retrieves a diamond from Jinxs navel (bullet in the belly-dancers navel). There is a solar-powered superweapon. The Spy Who Loved Me - Graves uses a Union Jack parachute. The Ice Palace resembles in some ways Strombergs Atlantis hideout. When Madonnas character is introduced, a few bars of "Nobody Does it Better" is heard. Moonraker - Moons hovercraft falls down by a large waterfall in a manner similar to Jaws boat going over the Iguaçu Falls. Bond surfaces in a bubbling pool of water surrounded by much interior vegetation, similar to the scene with the water python in Draxs headquarters. Both movies have spies named Chang. Bonds sword fight with Graves was much like the fight with Chang in the glass factory. Bond and a villain fight over a parachute. For Your Eyes Only - The scene as Bond hangs onto the ice cliff (before it collapses) resembles the climax near the monastery, especially as the rope slips and Bond drops some distance further down the cliff, although this time it was all performed from a vehicle. The yellow diving helmet in Qs lab. Octopussy - Both the crocodile submarine and the AcroStar MiniJet are visible in the background in Qs station laboratory. Upping the stakes on a bet with the villain (see also Goldfinger). Jinxs backward fall to escape echoes Magdas exit from Bonds suite. Qs coil of "magic rope" being kept on the lowest shelf in the Q lab, along with a lot of the five-pointed knife. A View to a Kill - Bond is suspended over a cliff on the wire and hook much like the Russian guard in the Siberian chase that Bond catches. Bond once again uses a rather unorthodox method of skiing, this time the hatch from the back of the car. Graves watches over the destruction that he wreaks from the front windows of his aircraft in the same way that Zorin watched Silicon Valley from his aircraft before it flooded. The electronic snooper is in Qs lab. Bonds cover is blown by his picture being taken and run through a facial recognition program. The Living Daylights - Cars exit the rear cargo hold of the plane. Bonds Aston Martin had retractable spikes in the tires controlled by a switch labeled traction. When Bond is driving Graves rocket car, he drives through a patch of trees and bits are shorn off, just as the skis on the Aston Martin are removed by trees in The Living Daylights. Licence to Kill - The plot idea of Bond going renegade, although this time it is less through choice. M rescinds Bonds licence to kill. Bond uses a rifle as a sniper. When Bond disarms the Chinese "masseuse", she has her weapon concealed in exactly the same fashion as Pam Bouvier. A projectile misses Bonds car when it passes underneath. The hanging yellow laser controller in Kils lab is the same one that operates the trap door over the shark tank in Krests warehouse. Bond puts the Alvarez Clinic ticket inside his right jacket pocket, and later pulls it out of the left one. In "Licence to Kill", Bond puts his airplane ticket first into his inner left jacket pocket, only to inexplicably remove it later on from his inner right jacket pocket. GoldenEye - Bonds watch contains a laser, which he uses to cut through a section of ice, reminiscent of his escape from the train by cutting through the floor. Jinx sets the timer for the bomb at the gene therapy lab in Cuba to three minutes, the same three minutes that Bond set the timers for in the chemical weapons lab and later Trevelyan set the timers for on the bullet train. Bond is betrayed by a fellow agent. A man is killed by a falling ice chandelier, reminiscent of Trevelyans death in GoldenEye. Bond says to Jinx that "the cold must have kept you alive" - In "Goldeneye" Bond tells Natalya Simonova that being cold is what keeps him alive. The opening title sequences feature a gold eye that opens. Jinx makes a dive from the DNA compound wall into the sea which is very similar to Bonds dive from the dam in "GoldenEye". The US command bunker in South Korea has computer monitors suspended from the ceiling, looking very similar to the monitors suspended from the ceiling in the Severnaya control room in "GoldenEye". Tomorrow Never Dies - Jinx throws a knife straight into a guards throat just as he comes through a door. This is similar to a scene on the Stealth Ship where Wai-Lin sticks a Shuriken throwing star into a guards throat just as he finds her (this scene is deleted from some "Tomorrow Never Dies" releases on VHS and DVD). Remote control car. Jinx descends on grappling lines, reminiscent of Wai-Lins entrance/escape. Bond escapes by being tethered and running down a wall similar to Wai-Lins escape. There is a fake headline on Moneypennys computer. In the pre-credits sequence in Korea, Bond jumps onto a hovercraft and spins round firing missiles, much like the pre-credits sequence of "Tomorrow Never Dies" where Bond spins a military jet and uses its guns and missiles. A Chinese character called Chang. The footage showing a ship launching the anti-satellite missile, is exactly the same footage used in the opening scene of TND, where the ship launches a cruise missile against the terrorist camp. Bonds car "speaks" with the same voice in both films. The World Is Not Enough - Bond dives over Graves as they fence to do a forward roll as he lands, in a manner similar to the shoot-out between Renards men and himself where he dives through a closing door and rolls the other side. As Bond dives to safety from Moons flamethrower on the hovercraft, the shot of his dive from in front is almost identical to another scene where Bond is diving from an exploding bomb with Christmas. The use of a geodesic dome. The World Is Not Enough - Bonds training program is essentially the same as the second level of the game. Some of the incidental music (minus of course the James Bond Theme, which is used in every film) is re-used in this film, notably at the end as Bond beds Jinx. The cars Zao owns are all updated model of former Bond cars Q mentions in his station laboratory as he hands Bond his new watch: "This is your twentieth, I believe," in a nod to this being the twentieth film occurring on the fortieth anniversary.
c.		Originally conceived as a drama for Lana Turner and Clark Gable, producer Arthur Freed decided instead to attempt a vintage Americana musical after the success of the stage show "Oklahoma!". After Gable returned from serving a tour of duty in the Air Force, Freed attempted to pair him with Judy Garland (who famously had a hit song with "Dear Mr. Gable/You Made Me Love You"). Gable was instead put in a drama, Adventure with Greer Garson. Gene Kelly was briefly considered to co-star before John Hodiak was eventually cast.
