But the spy only started using his signature phrase, shaken, not stirred, inGoldfinger.

However, stirred, not shaken, just doesnt quite sound right.

In the previous films, viewers see Bond being handed his vodka martini in non-threatening situations.

In the 2008 filmQuantum of Solace, this method of dying is recreated.

I never joke about my work, 007.
