The Obsessive 007 Fan Quiz

James Bond is good, James Bond is great. There is a vast and growing community of James Bond fans out there. You are one of them, you wouldn’t be reading this article if you weren’t. Perhaps you are a big 007 fan, perhaps you have all the films on DVD, perhaps you’ve read all the novels, perhaps you have 007 underwear, perhaps you are wearing it right now. But that doesn’t go far enough to answer the question, How big a 007 fan are you?. How far does your love for all things Bond extend? Are you merely a casual fan, are you a knowledgeable dedicated fan, or are you an obsessive fan, who allows the legend of Bond to control all the facets of your life? It’s most likely that you are the second of the three options, a dedicated fan with pretty good grasp on the world of Bond.
