Drinking Game (https://thechuggernauts.com):
Take a sip whenever...
- Someone says “James” or “Bond” (Yes this would mean 3 drinks for the phrase “Name’s Bond, James Bond”)
- Any agent’s number (or letter) is mentioned. Such as 007, 006, M, Q, etc…
- Bond uses one of his gadgets given to him by Q (or anyone else at the agency)
- Someone gets shot
- Someone falls crashes
- Bond gets into his over-the-top car
- Anyone on screen sips alcoholDrink twice if it’s a shaken Martini
Take a huge chug whenever...
- There’s a sex scene
- A chase scene starts
Finish your drink whenever...
- Bond is successfully captured. There’s a bit of a grey area in some films on if he was successfully captured, so let’s just say any time he is taken somewhere at gunpoint, put in handcuffs, or ends up in a cell.
