Cabaret Owner
A large bald man, who owns the Beirut establishment in which Saida dances. He is very protective of his employees. (TMWTGG)

Cable Car
Bond makes use of one of these to escape from Piz Gloria (OHMSS), and is almost trapped in the one leading to Rio's Sugar Loaf Mountain by Jaws. When he and Holly Goodhead escape by slinging a chain over the main cable, Jaws gets his accomplice to send the cable car after them in the hope of crushing them. However, with the braking system out of action, Jaws's car runs out of control and demolishes the lower station. (MR)

Caesar, Julius
The most famous of all Roman emperors, and another of Brad Whitaker's military heroes - though not so beloved that Whitaker lets him keep his famous profile, Caesar's waxwork possessing Whitaker's own face. (TLD)

Cafˇ Complait
Part of one of Bond's breakfasts for two, along with fresh orange juice. (OHMSS)

Cagiva
Manufacturer of motorbikes, as used by the Soviet military. Even in the days of the USSR, they still insisted on having their name painted in large, easy-to-see letters on at least five places on the bike... (GE)

'Call Me Bwana'
A film starring Bob Hope and Anita Ekberg, and produced by Harry Saltzman and Albert R (aka 'Cubby') Broccoli. A poster for this film hid an escape route for the assassin Krilencu from his hideout, but unfortunately for him, not well enough. (FRWL)

Cambridge
British university where Bond obtained a First in Oriental Languages. One of his fellow students was Hosein, later to become a Sheikh. (YOLT, TSWLM)

Camera Helmet
Unstylish accessory worn by Bond while he flies Little Nellie over the island of Matsu, to provide a record of his search for SPECTRE's base. (YOLT)

Camouflage Net

Campari
Draco's preferred drink when in company. He usually drinks Corsican brandy. (OHMSS)

(Bernard Horsfall)
Bond's Beetle-driving backup at Piz Gloria, whose attempts to climb up to the Institute are met with lethal resistance. The climber is left dangling by his feet from a cliff. (OHMSS)

Candid Camera
Television programme with which Bond is familiar, despite his loathing for the medium. (TSWLM)

Cane
One of Max Zorin's affectations, which also conceals a transmitter in the tip. When activated, the transmitter sends a signal to the microchips implanted in his horses, giving them a dose of steroids. (AVTAK)

Cannon
A circus prop used to fire Francisco the Fearless across the big top of Octopussy's circus. General Orlov has a duplicate made, to trick Octopussy into thinking that she was smuggling jewellery into West Germany in the cannon's base, whereas she is actually taking a second cannon containing a nuclear bomb. Bond uses the first cannon to dispose of Mishka, kicking a lever that drops the heavy barrel onto the killer's head, and reaches the second cannon to remove the detonator from the nuke a second before it goes off. (OP)

Canon
Japanese manufacturer of cameras and other equipment. (MR)

Cape Canaveral
Main launch site for the American space programme, in Florida. Launches from here are subject to interference from Dr No's base in Jamaica. (DN)

Caplan, Paula
(Martine Beswick)
Bond's short-lived contact in Nassau when he goes there to locate the nuclear bombs stolen by SPECTRE. She is captured and tortured by Fiona Volpe, Vargas and Janni, but kills herself with a cyanide pill rather than talk. (TB)

Quarrel's nickname for Bond. (DN)

Capone, Al
The notorious Chicago gangster of the 1920s, whose animatronic replica featured as part of Scaramanga's deadly funhouse. (TMWTGG)

Capungo
(Alf Joint)
A hitman set up by Bonita to dispose of Bond after he destroys Amarez's arms cache. In the ensuing fight, he falls into a bath - Bond quickly tosses in an electric fan and electrocutes his attacker. (GF)

Car Driver
(Peter Fanene Maivia)
Large but stupid man employed by Osato to act as a getaway driver for Henderson's killer. Although he is formidable in a fight, he doesn't have the brains to tell the difference between the assassin and Bond when the latter puts on a hat and small facemask. (YOLT)

Carina
(Tina Hudson)
Bond's contact in Cuba, who helps him infiltrate a Cuban airbase. Fidel Castro takes quite a fancy to her, or at least her low-cut, high-slit dress. Carina also helps Bond escape his captors by distracting his guards with the same item of clothing.
NB: For some bizarre reason, Carina (whose name is clearly spoken by Bond) is listed in the credits as 'Bianca'! (OP)

Carlos & Wilmsberg
An importer owned by Drax, based in Rio de Janiero with a warehouse on Karaoka Avenue. C&W are being used to bring Drax's nerve gas globes into Brazil. (MR)

Carlsberg
Probably the best lager in the world, though as Bond never touches the stuff he wouldn't know. It is served in the Barrelhead Bar. (LTK)

Carnegie Hall
A New York theatre where Kara Milovy one day dreams of playing her cello. (TLD)

Caroline
(Serena Gordon)
An MI6 psychologist, whom the new M assigns to carry out a psychological profile of 007. Despite her being scared witless when Bond decides to have a little race against Xenia Onatopp's Ferrari along the twisting roads above Monaco, she still gives him top marks. (GE)

Car-plane
A toy of Scaramanga's that put even Q's gadgets to shame. An AMC Matador is modified, presumably by one of Hai Fat's companies, to accept a combined wing, tailplane and jet engine assembly that locks onto the roof. The car-plane has a range of about 200 miles. (TMWTGG)

Carrott, Jasper
One of Gonzales's poolside goons. Well, that's who he looks like. (FYEO)

Carter, Commander
(Shane Rimmer)
The captain (though apparently not in rank!) of USS Wayne. Even though he hasn't known Bond long, he is still willing to violate his orders to destroy Atlantis in order to give Bond time to rescue Anya Amasova. (TSWLM)

Cartier
A Parisian fashion house, who made Zorin's wallet. (AVTAK)

Caruso, Miss
(Madeline Smith)

Carvair
Type of aircraft used by British United Air Ferries, able to carry cars in its forward hold as well as passengers. One is used to ship Goldfinger's Rolls-Royce out of Britain. (GF)

Carver, Rosie
(Gloria Hendry)
A native of San Monique, Rosie is also a junior CIA agent - and working for Kananga. Bond is only her second mission, the ill-fated Baines having been her first. Bond believes that 'Mrs Bond', as she signs herself in the hotel register, is incompetent but on the level, until he's given a warning by tarot card. She tries to lead Bond into a trap, but 007 has other ideas about how to spend the afternoon. Once she realises that Bond is onto her deception, Rosie tries to flee - but is killed by a gun hidden in one of Kananga's scarecrow sentries. (LALD)

Case, Tiffany
(Jill St John)
Taking her name from the store where she was born (her mother was shopping for a wedding ring at the time), Tiffany has maintained a connection with diamonds into adulthood, being a major part of an international diamond smuggling ring. Bond, posing as fellow smuggler Peter Franks, meets her in Amsterdam where she hires him to smuggle diamonds into the United States undetected. When she discovers that Bond has in fact smuggled fakes (the real diamonds being sent over by MI6), she attempts to seduce him to find out where they are. (DAF)

Casino de Isthmus
A large casino in Isthmus City, above which Sanchez has his headquarters behind two inches of armoured glass. (LTK)

Casino de Macau
Large hotel and gambling establishment in the Portugese colony off China. It is here where Lazar makes the drop of golden bullets for Scaramanga, without ever seeing who is collecting them. (TMWTGG)

Castro, Fidel
(Brian Coburn)
A long-lived Cuban show-jumping fan, cigar smoker, cleavage-starer, dictator and unreconstructed communist, who has ruled Cuba since 1959 despite the best efforts of the CIA to assassinate him. Maybe they should have asked Bond to do the job.
NB: The actual character is credited as 'South American VIP', though the beard and huge cigars do rather drop a hint as to the man's true identity... (OP)

Catamaran
Twin-hulled cargo ship moored in Nassau harbour near the Disco Volante, and used as a rendezvous (and cover) by Bond. (TB)

Cat, White
Blofeld's constant companion, which he strokes interminably while plotting his evil deeds against the world. He has in fact had several, as he abandoned one while fleeing his secret base in Japan just before it exploded. It is not known if the cats had names, though Blofeld is unlikely to have called them Muffles or Mr Meowington. (FRWL, TB, YOLT, OHMSS, DAF, FYEO)

Cement Factory
A landmark between Kingston and Miss Taro's house on Magenta Drive. (DN)

Central Intelligence Agency
The American equivalent of MI6, employing Felix Leiter, Harold Strutter, Holly Goodhead and Jack Wade, among others. It is based in Langley, Virginia.

Centre International D'Assistance Aux Personnes Displacˇes
Or, as an English-speaking employee calls it, the International Brotherhood for Assistance of Stateless Persons. This is ostensibly a humanitarian organisation dedicated to helping the dispossessed find new lives in other countries. In fact, it's a cover organisation for SPECTRE's Paris headquarters. (TB)

Centrifuge Trainer
Part of Drax's astronaut training centre, where trainees can experience the g-forces induced by a rocket takeoff. Holly Goodhead encourages Bond to try it, unaware that Chang has sabotaged the machine so that the 'chicken switch' won't work. As the machine's revolutions increase to a lethal level, Bond uses his dart gun to blast the control panel and bring it to a stop. (MR)

Cha

Champagne Section
The name given by Pussy Galore to her five-woman aerobatic team. (GF)

Chandelier
Where Tiffany Case hides a load of diamonds in plain sight in her Amsterdam apartment. (DAF)

2: (Toshiro Suga) Drax's first henchman, assigned by his master to "look after Mr Bond - see that some harm comes to him". Chang first tries to kill Bond by exposing him to lethal g-forces in a centrifuge, then later, in Venice, attacks him with a bamboo sword. Bond hurls him through the face of the Merceria clock where he falls head-first into a piano in the square below. NB: Both Bond and Drax referred to him as 'Cha'. (MR)

Cheating
Method used by Bond villains to ensure they always get their way in games of skill and chance.

Checkpoint Charlie
A heavily-guarded crossing point between East and West Berlin. (OP)

Chemin De Fer
Variant of baccarat, played at Le Cercle. Bond, naturally, always wins. (DN)

Cherokee
Model of light aircraft made by Piper, used in Pussy Galore's Flying Circus. (GF)

Chest Hair
An attribute of Bond's that seems to fascinate the Japanese girls who are bathing him. He has it shaved off in order to pass as Japanese, but it grows back - at least, until DAF, after which Bond's chest is as smooth as a baby's butt and an easy target for leeches. (YOLT)

Chevrolet Bel-Air
A classic 1957 version of this car, registration 7715, was used by Mr Jones to carry Bond on what was intended to be his final journey. (DN)

Chevrolet Impala

Chevron
An American oil company, one of whose petrol stations Bond accidentally demolishes as he careens through San Francisco in a stolen fire engine. (AVTAK)

Chew Me
A young lady Bond finds swimming naked in Hai Fat's pool. However, he doesn't get the chance to join her. (TMWTGG)

Chicken Switch

Chief Chemist
(Honorato Magaloni)
The bearded technical genius behind Sanchez's seemingly foolproof method of smuggling cocaine - a special process he has devised allows the cocaine to be dissolved into petrol, then recovered at the other end with no damage to the product. (LTK)

Chief of Staff
The post in MI6 directly below M - the Chief of Staff acts as head of the Secret Service in M's absence. The post was held by Bill Tanner for several years, until he was replaced by Charles Robinson. (TMWTGG, FYEO, TND)

Chloroform
Old-fashioned but effective drug used to knock people out. Paula Caplan was a victim of it in Nassau. (TB)

Sleeping pills. Red Grant slips some into Tatiana Romanova's wine to get her out of the way while he deals with Bond, and Kara Milovy drops a few into Bond's vodka martini. (FRWL, TLD)

CH Radar
A low-scan system of this type is installed at Crab Key to watch out for approaching vessels. It's sensitive enough to pick up a ship's sail. (DN)

Churchill, Della
The maiden name of Della Leiter. (LTK)

CIA
Acronym for the Central Intelligence Agency, the American equivalent of MI6.

Cigar
Bond took to smoking these huge stogies in the 1970s. Although no better for him than cigarettes, one did help him out twice, firstly by igniting an aerosol spray and killing a snake, then by burning the hand of a possible assassin. After that he switched back to cigarettes before giving up entirely, though Xenia Onatopp was partial to them. (LALD, GE)

Cigarette, Knockout
Anya Amasova uses one of these to put a (temporary) stop to Bond's attentions, blowing an anaesthetic dust into his face and putting him to sleep for several hours. (TSWLM)

Cigarette, Poison
Mr Jones uses one of these cyanide-laden snouts to kill himself rather than let Bond get any information from him. Proof that cigarettes really are bad for your health! (DN)

Cigarette, Rocket
A weapon developed by the Japanese SIS, accurate up to 30 yards, consisting of a tiny rocket concealed inside a cancer stick. Bond uses one when granted a last request in SPECTRE's volcano base to kill the man operating the main shutter controls, allowing Tanaka's ninja force to enter the base. (YOLT)

Cigars and Ice
Largo's idea of a scientific method of torture, which he starts to apply to Domino before being interrupted by Kutze. (TB)

Cincinatti Moose Lodge 1 & 3

Circus Circus
A Las Vegas carnival-cum-casino where Bond arranges for Tiffany Case to collect the smuggled diamonds. (DAF)

Citroen H-31854
Car used by the Bulgarians to tail Bond from Istanbul airport. (FRWL)

Citroen 2CV
Not the kind of car with which Bond would normally be associated, but after the destruction of his Lotus he has to make do with whatever he can find - in this case, Melina Havelock's yellow 'tin snail'. In Bond's hands, even this puny vehicle outmatches anything else on the road. (FYEO)

Clam, Giant
Domino Derval getting her foot trapped in one of these provided Bond with a convenient excuse to introduce himself to her! (TB)

Claus
(Charles Dance)
One of Locque's henchmen, who chases Bond down the ski-jump in Cortina and later tries to run him over in a beach buggy. Moments after Bond is captured, Claus is shot in the back with a harpoon by one of Columbo's men. (FYEO)

Clay Pigeon Shooting
Sport which Largo likes to play at his house in Nassau. Both he and Fiona Volpe are good but, of course, Bond humiliates his host at his own game. (TB)

Clive, Major
Kamal Khan's opponent at backgammon. Although the Major is good at the game, he stands no chance - as Khan is cheating. (OP)

'Close Encounters of the Third Kind'

Cocoon
The rear section of the Disco Volante, which disguises the ship's true hydrofoil nature. Largo jettisons the cocoon when Coast Guard and US Navy ships start to pursue him. (TB)

A beverage offered to all Dr No's guests, with the opposite effect of normal caffiene-laden drinks. (DN)

Colonial Room
Part of the Whyte House monitored by Willard Whyte's security cameras. (DAF)

Colthorpe
(James Cossins)
A Q Branch ballistics expert, who along with Q determines where Scaramanga's golden bullets are made. (TMWTGG)

Columbo, Milos
(Topol)
Also known as 'The Dove', the pistachio nut-loving Columbo fought alongside Kristatos during the war, but their paths moved apart later when Columbo realised that Kristatos was a double agent. Columbo runs a fleet of freighters through the Aegean, which he uses to smuggle gold, diamonds and cigarettes - but not, as he is at pains to point out to Bond, drugs. He is a secret partner in a Greek casino, in which his mistress, Contessa Lisl von Schlaff, occasionally encourages gamblers like Bunky to put up more than they can afford. After Lisl is murdered by Locque, Columbo seeks revenge by trying to join forces with Bond; he gains 007's trust by giving him back his gun, and in the process shows that he trusts Bond not to shoot him on the spot.
He takes Bond, along with a group of his men, in his yacht to lead an attack on Kristatos's drugs warehouse in Albania. After the ATAC is stolen by Kristatos, Bond turns to Columbo to help locate him and the device. Columbo and a few of his best men join Bond and Melina Havelock in an assault on St Cyrils, where he eventually kills his old enemy. Afterwards, the wounded smuggler agrees to act as Bibi Dahl's new sponsor. (FYEO)

Command Satellite
The central complex of Drax's space city, from where the megalomaniac controls his genocidal operations. (MR)

Computer Store Manager
(Constantine Gregory)
The man in charge of a St Petersburg IBM outlet, who is impressed enough by Natalya Simyonova to give her unrestricted access to one of his machines and a modem. Either by her or her promise to buy 35 machines with dollars, anyway. (GE)

Conch Chowder

Concorde
The only supersonic airliner in service. Bond flies from Venice to Rio in an Air France example. (MR)

Conley, Bob
(Manning Redwood)
A vulgar moustachioed American, who is in charge of Zorin's oil company in San Francisco, and is also involved in Project Main Strike. This geologist was formerly the chief engineer at a South Sfrican gold mine, and did a runner after a cave-in which killed 20 miners. (AVTAK)

Conservatoire Bratislava
The Czechoslovakian orchestra for which Kara Milovy plays the cello. (TLD)

Consumptive Italian
(Alfie Bass)
A coughing Venetian cigarette smoker, who vows to give up after seeing a coffin containing one of Bond's now-deceased enemies drift past. (MR)

Contessa di Vicenzo
The official title of Tracy Draco, which she obtained after marrying an Italian count, who was killed in a car crash soon afterwards. (OHMSS)

Control Centre
1: The operations room at Crab Key and nerve centre for Dr No's operations against the Americans, this huge control room also contains a live nuclear reactor, requiring all staff to wear radiation suits - hardly the safest state of affairs! (DN)
2: Blofeld's satellite nerve centre aboard his oil rig off Baja California. Signs advise SPECTRE staff that 'If in doubt, ASK'. (DAF)

Coral Harbour
Bond's destination in Nassau after he first meets Domino Derval. (TB)

Coronation Egg
One of Carl Faberge's jewelled Easter Eggs, presented to Tzarina Fedoronova by Tzar Nicholas II in 1897. The discovery by 009 of a near-perfect copy of the real egg led to Operation Trove, to which Bond was assigned after 009's death. The genuine egg, made from gold, decorated with sapphires and containing a model of the Imperial Coach, came up for auction at Sotheby's. Its seller, Kamal Khan, desperately tried to buy it back to cover up the theft of the fake. After Bond raised the price enormously (from an estimated £350,000 to half a million), he swapped the real egg with the fake, ensuring that Khan would have to deal with him to get the genuine egg back. Although Khan eventually reclaimed the egg (with a bug planted by Q inside) it was destroyed by General Orlov, who mistakenly thought it was the fake! (OP)

Corsica
Where Bond wrongly thought Stromberg's marine laboratory was located. Anya Amasova corrected him. (TSWLM)

Country Life
A magazine that Bond buys from a news-stand outside Sotheby's as he tails Kamal Khan. (OP)

Crab Key
Owned by Dr No and supposedly operated as a bauxite mine, Crab Key is really home to a secret base designed to interfere with American rocket launches from Cape Canaveral. The Key has a bad reputation among Jamaican fishermen, as people who go there tend not to come back. (DN)

Craps
Dice game played by Bond, with Plenty O'Toole's help, in Las Vegas. (DAF)

Crater Guns
Remote-controlled machine guns and mortars defending the volcanic crater in which SPECTRE's secret launch site was hidden. Blofeld claims there is enough firepower to annihilate a small army. (YOLT)

Crocosub
One of Q's more demented inventions, a mini-submarine disguised as a crocodile. Large enough to fit one person, the pilot looks out at the world through the croc's mouth, entering the machine through a hatch in its back. Still, if it works, don't knock it! (OP)

Cropduster
A small plane 'borrowed' by Pam Bouvier to go after Bond when he accompanies Sanchez to his drugs plant. She first uses it to drop Bond onto the roof of one of the tankers, then dive-bombs Perez and his associates with crop dust. (LTK)

Cummerbund
Part of full evening dress for Bond, and also a useful place to conceal several yards of climbing rope. (LTK)

Curare
When mixed with a psychedelic compound, this poison makes what Kamal Khan considers to be an infallible truth drug. The only drawback, which Khan isn't all that bothered about, is that it causes the victim to suffer permanent brain damage. (OP)

Curling
Ice-based sport played at Piz Gloria. 'Sir Hilary Bray' - Bond in disguise - isn't very good at it. (OHMSS)

Custom .38
Specially modified Smith & Wesson revolver, with a corrugated three-inch stock and no serial numbers, issued by the CIA. (LALD)

Cyanide
