Answer: Kills himself with a cyanide cigarette

Felix is a CIA agent who became a regular character in the Bond films until the '90s.

8. Who is the spy at the government house?

9. Complete the quote (James Bond to Professor Dent):
"That's a Smith and Wesson, and you've had your _____"

Answer: six

Professor Dent sneaks into Miss Taro's house. Bond has put pillows under the blankets in bed to look like a person, and Dent shoots six times into the bed. James then knocks the gun out of Dent's hand and begins questioning him. Dent slowly moves to pick up the gun, and Bond seems to not notice, but unlike Dent, he knows there's no more ammo. Dent grabs the gun and fires, but it just clicks, and Bond kills him.

10. Which of the following is a way Dr. No tries to have Bond killed?

Answer: A tarantula in his hotel room

Sean Connery is afraid of spiders, and in the movie, you can see that the spider is crawling on a piece of glass laid on him, not on his skin (except when the stunt double is there).

11. What do the natives believe lives on Crab Key?

Answer: A Dragon

The dragon is really a tank-like vehicle painted like a dragon with flamethrowers in the front. When Quarrel sees the wheel ruts in the ground he says they are "Dragon Tracks."

12. Honey Ryder was played by the actress Ursula Andress, but her voice was dubbed by Monica Van der Syl (except when singing "Under the Mango Tree" - who is a third voice). Why?

Answer: Ursula had a Swiss accent

The producers didn't think that a voice with a Swiss accent fit the character of a sexy Caribbean girl. But her body was good enough!

Answer: He is burned to death

The "Dragon" successfully fries Quarrel. Bond tries to take a moment to mourn his friend, but is hurried along by henchmen.

14. Dr. No was previously involved with which Asian crime syndicate?

Answer: The Tongs

Dr. No was treasurer for them, and stole ten million dollars, which helped build his new base at Crab Key.

15. What is Dr. No's unique characteristic?

Answer: Prosthetic hands

Dr. No: My work has given me a unique knowledge of radioactivity, but not without cost, as you can see [showing off his hands]."

However, Bond doesn't miss an opportunity for a clever witticism...

Bond: "Tell me, does the toppling of American missiles really compensate for having no hands?"
