Tom Hanks portrayed Forrest Gump in the 1994 film. In the scene where this line appears, he says he was quoting his mother.

Answer: "One medium dry vodka martini mixed like you said, sir, but not stirred."

Although Ian Fleming's fictional spy James Bond is well known for his love of martinis (a cocktail made with gin or vodka and vermouth), his first vocalised order for one was not until "Goldfinger" in 1962, when he requested a "Martini. Shaken not stirred". in "Dr No (1962), it was in fact a waiter who told us Bond's most famous drinks order.
