Question

Why the gang do not recognise James Bond as a spy when James Bond says "I am Bond, James Bond"?

Answer 1

he kills everyone who would know who he is. and the agency he works for covers his tracks

Answer 2

Lol I know im surprised hes not already dead, kind of makes the whole 007 thing pointless.

Answer 3

in Bond's world he is an unknown. He is only known to his supervisors as 007. It would not be helpful to have your spies well known. They must be unknown to be effective.

Answer 4

Relax, have a poo

Answer 5

you know what i use to think the same thing i guess Ian fleming over looked that when he was writing the books.

Answer 6

The funny thing is that he IS recognized, no matter what he says

Answer 7

i'm not really sure.

doesn't he usually only say that to women and bartenders?
