James Bond doesn’t wear glasses
This quick line from official Bond movie Goldfinger alum Ursula Andress in the unofficial Casino Royale (1967) references the lack of eyewear of James Bond as if he’s a colloquially known figure.

James Bond Vanity Plates
It’s a bit surprising that James Bond has never been associated with custom vanity plates, even though some of the “boring” ones have lived on (BMT 216A, anybody?). Then again, vehicle registration and cover identities would almost certainly fall under the jurisdiction of MI6 and be handled by Q Branch.… Read More →
