I have an image that Sol "Horror" Horowitz is a Russian: I want you to name the movie where a Russian soldier has creepy fake teeth not unlike the "Horror" character. Also, as this movie is not James Bond-related, I will throw in an indirect Bond link: The love interest of one of the aforementioned film's lead characters was played by a woman with an indirect tie to James Bond vis-a-vis Daniel Craig - name the movie!!

Is it Enemies at the Gates (2001)? It co-starred Rachel Weiss who is married to Daniel Craig. Ron Perlman played the Russian with scary chompers.

Peebs Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 Thanks, Cinema! Next: Sticking with Disney Timothy Dalton has also appeared in a few Disney movies. Name the movies in which Dalton: 1. Played an actor who was a secret Nazi spy 2. Played a character named "Mr. Pricklepants" 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BunnyWhit Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 Dalton played Nazi spy Neville Sinclair in The Rocketeer (1981). The story goes that Neville Sinclair was based on swashbuckling Errol Flynn who was thought by some to be a Nazi spy. The film is based on a graphic novel. The damsel in distress, Jenny Blake in the film, is called Betty Page in the book because the author, Dave Stevens, was a friend of the pin-up queen Bettie Page. She disallowed use of the name in the film. Mr. Pricklepants is from the Toy Story franchise. I think the character debuted in the third movie. I read an interesting tie-in of these two characters (if you can imagine there would be such a thing). It seems Mr. Pricklepants is a premium import plushie made in Germany and part of the Waldfreunde collection, but I don't think it's a product of Steiff. Small world, or evil plan? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BunnyWhit Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 Thank you, Peebs! Here's a two-parter: 1. The November Man (2014) has some interesting trivia surrounding the casting of the main character that relates to our Bonds. What is it? 2. The movie features three cast members from Bond-films. Who, and which films? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BunnyWhit Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 Thanks, NoShear and Peebs! You two got all the actors. Interesting trivia: Daniel Craig was originally cast to play Devereaux, but other commitments ran long for him, and recasting was necessary. Director Roger Donaldson was so set on having a Bond play the lead that he actually approached Connery, but he was too old for this level of action. Brosnan got wind of this and lobbied for the part. Later, Donaldson said Brosnan's work on this film was his best. It's anyone's thread...... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for the interesting information here, Peebs, but that's not what I am looking for. I will rephrase here: THE SPY WHO LOVED ME is said to have been written in January and February of 1961. The main protagonist of the novel's mode of transportation might have been influenced by what international-level event which occurred shortly before Ian Fleming is said to have written the '62 Bond book??

Ok, you must be referring to Vivienne Michel rather James Bond. I'm not sure about her mode of transportation. A Vespa? Maybe someone else can jump in...
