Bond gives his famous introduction when Sylvia Trench asks his name at the London club. However when Honey Ryder asks Bond his name he merely replies "James".
behind the scenes
Quarrel's son, Quarrel Jr, helps Roger Moore in Live and Let Die 11 years later.
Bob Simmons is James Bond in the gunbarrel sequence, not Sean Connery.
The painting noticed by Bond in Dr. No's base is Goya's The Duke of Wellington. This painting was stolen from a museum in 1960 and was never recovered.
The role of Sylvia Trench was first offered to Lois Maxwell.
Bond originally shot Professor R.J Dent six times, hence the line "You've had your six". Censors scaled this back to two. §
