Factoids: (IMDB, Mistakes, BondMovies, Wiki) Mi6
1.The casting of Frederick Warder and Glyn Baker as 004 and 002 was intentional, due to their resemblance to George Lazenby and Roger Moore, respectively. For the movie's opening scene, the writers wanted to toy with the audience's expectations of which of the 00 agents was Bond.
2. The term used in this movie "Smiert Spionam", meaning "death to spies", was the full phrase from which the acronym of the Soviet counterespionage organization SMERSH took its name. It existed as early as World War II, and was a branch of the NKVD (later KGB).
3. In the trailer, the woman on the boat in the pre-title sequence talks with her own voice before it was re-dubbed.
4. Some unedited footage was stolen and videos were sold as if they were the completed movie. Albert R. Broccoli and the other producers then released a poster explaining that this copy of the movie was unfinished and had no soundtrack or special effects at all, saying that the only way to see the real movie was going to the cinema.
5. Last James Bond movie to use an original Ian Fleming title until Casino Royale (2006), a gap of almost twenty years.
6. Whitaker claims that the fist outing of the automatic machine gun was 1895 in Afghanistan, however the British Army had already used the maxim in the Matabele War, 1893-4 in Africa, and the weapon had been in the Army since 1888.
7. The "Red Cross" helicopter seen in this movie (registration G-HUEY) has an interesting history of its own. It is a Bell UH-1H that originally belonged to the Argentinean Army, and was captured by British Forces at Port Stanley during the 1982 war in the Falkland Islands.
Comments: B. The Ultimate Collectors Edition adds 1:22:52 new material to approximately 1:29:40 of older material.
